    • RE: Hi Everyone!

      @Airess - I know that feeling of 'they made it just for ME!' 🤸 😃 🕺 🙆🍾

      I'm only able to afford Artisan level $$ but I'm enjoying this community a great deal and learning about the game system so that when I can play, I'll hit the Arborean ground running!

      If you are considering a Beastfolk character, please consider joining my guild of helpful guides/protectors. In any case WELCOME!

    • RE: Concerns related to the attributes

      @Gothix said:

      Perhaps, cash shop can offer purchase of full attribute reset.

      Meanwhile in the world, through exploration, challenges (or whatever) players would have a small chance to find "translocate 1 attribute point to another place" scrolls.

      Those scrolls should be character bound in that case, and have a limit how much you can have at once (like 3 or something) so you can not hoard them, perhaps even an expiry timer in addition to that. And with a low enough chance of getting those, "purchase attribute reset from cash shop" would not lose purpose, while still offering players to transfer a point here and there for "free" through gameplay.

      I just want to +1 this word for word, ok? 👍

    • RE: Reagent Enchanting Spreadsheet (Update 2020-Oct-14)

      @Farlander said in Excel Sheet for helping with Reagent Enchanting & Character making:

      Awesome. I like when stuff like this hits the net. I'm not one of those guys that likes to spend hours figuring stuff out. It would really be nice if the game had an ingame knowledge system that actually had stuff like this. Your character is not you. Just like in D&D I might be playing a mage. That character knows the inner working of spells; how to use them, how to cast them, what is required. Myself, I know nothing of magic. If your character has the knowledge then the knowledge legend in the game should show the specifics that character should know. So if your character is very knowledgeable in enchanting then the tables would be available of what your character knows how to enchant.

      I never thought about it that way, but YES YES YES.
      Having some in-game hot links to wiki pages that had this info would do the trick, I think.

    • RE: Really Disappointed.

      woah, y'all, can we dial this back a notch? ☮

      People on any online forum are able to vent with relative anonymity, often saying things to others that they'd NEVER say to their faces. That seems to me to be what's caused the unnecessary escalation of a new player's (grantedly undiplomatic) expression of frustration into personal attacks.

      Hoping y'all won't train your guns on me instead when I suggest doing what many of the replies have done: find the useful feedback within the frustrated venting, and respond to that instead. Invite & model the kind of solidarity and constructive language that you hope to hear in reply if you experience frustration in-game.

      If you experience toxicity, instead of replying in kind in a public way, try sending a DM to the person and tell them what you felt offended by, and why. If they can't hear that, there's a really easy way to ignore that person, or even report them.

      Paz y Luz from the peaceful lands of Arboreus 😉 🖖

    • RE: Goodbye Grind?

      great discussion! it's definitely true that defining terms is key to achieving goals, and that re-defining terms can create an illusion of freedom (we're learning that the VERY hard way in the USA...).

      I like the way @Chapex not only defines what they mean by 'grind' but also offers a way to replace something that felt 'grindy' with something more interesting.

      I actually did stop playing the free stress test when I learned how many goblins I'd have to kill to get the 500 gp to build a house, even though I didn't yet have all the skills goblins could teach me. Precisely Because that felt grindy to me, and I didn't want to put myself through it for a house that wouldn't persist past the test.

      That's a personal decision, yeah, but the constructive suggestions about possible alternatives to getting grindy goblin gold is what WINS for me. Instant follow.

    • RE: Hey! when is the first longer duration test of the game?

      @karmac check this link...
      https://fracturedmmo.com/faq/faq-playtesting/

      where the devs say, "The last test, Alpha 2 - Test 1, was scheduled to run for 2 weeks, but was extended to 1 month. Future tests will last even longer - it's perfectly possible the ones before full release will be online for 3 months or more!"

      Sounds great to me!

    • RE: Attacks on settlements by NPCs

      Y'all, please don't assume that PvE is all purely farming and crafting and kumbaya, and then make 'furball' or 'farmer' jokes about it. That's just insulting af.

      Anytime a party goes into a D&D dungeon (whether online or in-person), they're doing PvE. The mobs and bosses can be fatal to a toon/PC. I look forward to that challenge and enjoy it.

      I have zero way of telling you why I enjoy that type of mayhem but not the PvP kind, just like you didn't wake up one day and choose which gender you wanted to turn your crank, or which foods would nauseate you, or what music you like to dance to. It's called 'preference', and it's a personal thing.

      In a past life, I was a chef. Some folks loved my cooking. Some folks didn't. Taking that stuff personally or hating on/making fun of people who didn't care for my cuisine (or anything else determined by preference) would be ignorant bigotry.

      In a game environment, we're free to enact stuff that would be completely unacceptable irl. Folks who identify as demons might be ok with ignorant bigotry and all kindsa evil 💩 in-game, huh? 🤔 Violence and mayhem can be cathartic - even for a pacifist like me! But let's try to keep that shizzle in-game, ok?

    • RE: Alpha test date finalized yet or roadmap/timeline available?

      See, THIS is why I think the game will succeed: @Specter replied to my plaintive query literally within hours & got a response from @Prometheus back to the community within a day.

      Does anyone else wanna pile on w/KUDOS about how amazing that is? 👏 🎖 👏 🏆 👏

    • RE: Found random info that led me here!

      hihi @Jamsquanch! Great to see someone who found their way here via a random path. That tells me that there's lots of bread crumbs out there, and buzz building. Great news for the devs!

      I've found that this forum is the best place to discuss Fractured - ideas, possibilities, concerns... the devs are very present and they listen. It's also a cool community.

      But for updates/info, the Fractured site, the discord channel linked above, and @Oxfurd's twitch channel are probably the quickest ways to get info in real time if that's your priority.

      In any case, once you've subscribed you're on the mailing list and get anything important via email.

    • RE: King Of Syndesia

      @Peter - the title is one that is bought, and confers no real power. I'd expect that to 'overthrow' the King (or Queen) would simply be to outbid them before the game launches. Some people have money for that kinda thing, but most of us have other priorities....

    • RE: December 2019 Stress Test Review

      Sounds like a very productive mess!

      I've been away for almost a month due to RL busy-ness but gotta say I'm impressed with the way the problems were handled here:

      1. no excuses, just clear communication and continued attempts to correct the issue
      2. learning from what went wrong and making adjustments for next attempt (e.g., running next test during the week so SpatialOS support can be more available)

      KUDOS to the devs. Best wishes for next try.

      One request: Can someone from the dev team PLEASE post some SHORT (less than 5 minute) videos on the Fractured website's 'videos' page, showing some basic game mechanics? e.g.
      ** making a fire
      ** learning a skill
      ** choosing a skill set
      ** fighting an npc denizen or mob

      My friends who play other games might watch a 10-30 min vid about how to play their game, but will NOT watch anything that long about another game. I can use short vids for recruiting (and for learning basic mechanics, since I don't have alpha access)

      Thanks! and happy merry ChristmaHannuKwankiSolstikha to all! 🖖 🎁 🍻 🌠

    • RE: Bit confused. No playable version?

      @Amuck has a good point re keeping the comm line open, especially since the devs are crafting a major chunk for this next test, and I hope y'all agree w me that we'd rather have it done right than have it open up NOW. (kinda like COVID response, non?)

      Thanks, @Specter, for confirming what's become pretty obvious 😉 what I think players would appreciate is a little more proactivity in that kind of communication.

      We get it, devs are busy 👩‍💻 😰 👨‍💻 & the staffing doesn't stretch to a Public Info Officer (yet). Nonetheless, waiting until the wolves are howling before tossing a bone isn't the way to do it. Those of us who are trying to recruit for this game are ambassadors, and want to be able to assure potential investors and guildmates.

      Communications from the devs have generally been pretty much reliable and accurate - aside from wacky obstacles like COVID19, if there's a reason for delay, we've heard about it here. It could be better tho - just get ahead of the howling and feed the doggies regularly.

    • RE: High hopes for this game and a hello,

      welcome aboard Mars! Lots of great folks to party up with!

      If you're not looking to reinvent the wheel, take @Kralith's advice and head to the Guild Recruitment section - lots of folks looking for guildies there, w all sorts of possible guild goals/purposes.

      @humerus makes a great suggestion re the discord channel, also @Oxfurd has a twitch channel that's a lot of fun.

      And I want to give you snaps for posting an actual comment rather than just 'daily post' on that thread. It's how I've been doing it for quite some time, and my experience is that the devs honor that extra thought with bonus FP from time to time in their weekly drawing. 😉

    • RE: King Of Syndesia

      @Tuoni LOL If someone gave me $5k that's probably the exact last thing I'd do with it.

      The P2W folks are mostly someplace else (thanks b to God). SOooOOoo many places their $$ translates into rewards and being able to boss folks around. I bought in to this game because it's set up differently and,having played a LOT of p2w freemium games, I am happy to front some cash for a different experience.

    • RE: Roadmap To Alpha 2 - Test 2

      I'm just a beta level investor but Psyched to know there'll be another alpha test soon, and an open test as well. 🙆‍♀️ 😺
      If we could get the date(s) on that, I'd love to be able to make plans (and let hubbywoozle know he'll have to cook his own dinner 😉 )

    • RE: Story writing competition winner.

      I loved the idea of this competition, @Zori!

      In a previous life, I wrote a LOT of fanfic with a group called alt.starfleet.rpg (they're still around - you can look them up!) Won in-group awards for it & trained new members. It was exciting to see the competition posted. Sorry the submissions weren't all you were hoping for 🤔

      In case it helps for another time or another person considering this idea, my reasons for not submitting an entry were:

      1. I already had a key
      2. The Fractured world is still SO unformed I had no idea how to write a story about the world I hope to be inhabiting. I could write something fun about the game as it stands, I'm sure, but the real stories will happen once Arboreus shows herself to me and my toons have had some adventures there.

      🖖
