@Kralith - I hate when that happens

@Mindframe - you might be like me, a person who prefers PvE and will be a happy resident of Arboreus-to-come.

But you are NOT like me, because I wouldn't wander into an open playtest of a specific feature that I don't personally like and write a bunch of totally unconstructive posts trashing what I got for free.

I do feel for the folks who wander in during this particular test and think it's a representative sample of the game. I don't feel one bit sorry for the ones who decide to trash it on the basis of such an uninformed experience.

Consider deleting the posts you should have known better than to make, and learning more about what this game actually is from the folks who have been here a while.

Huzzah for us! Thanks @Specter
GRATZ to the others too.

I've watched some vids and game looks pretty good, sort of like Albion Online. Is it worth playing now?

Like @Gibbx said, you're the only one who can answer that question BUT... My personal experience has been that each alpha has been fun in its own way, and a drag in some other ways. Bugs happen, but so do really fun encounters.

That said, I wouldn't judge the game by the upcoming 3 day open playtest. That's gonna get nuts, btw rolling out a completely new system and loading up servers with freebiefolk.

For me, it's worthwhile to deal with the bugs to help them build the game AND I'm making lots of the n00b mistakes now before my toon is 'the real one'. When launch happens, I'll be ready. AND I'll have made lots of good connections in this forum and in the game that will help my toon prosper

Hi @Ocobletka! Can I give you some advice?

I'm a poor slob who bought a beta key she couldn't really afford after a little too much bourbon one night. I was so excited about a game that wasn't P2W I just wanted to support that dream.

I've been able to win keys to each of the alpha tests so far by sharing info and updates about the game with fellow gamernerds on social media. NOT SPAMMING but keeping folks posted on developments as they occur and answering questions. I post screenshots of these promotions in this thread: https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/topic/8559/spread-the-word-win-an-alpha-key

I've recruited 30 players this way (3 just this week!), so it's a good trade for @Prometheus & the devs. @Specter is helping to admin the contest, but tbh I don't see many people on that thread besides myself.

I don't mind having no competition for the keys but feel free to try it if your finances are like mine and a freebie is the only way you can get in.

Greetings and Welcome @afro

The playtest later this week is gonna be kinda wild, so don't panic if things are crazy. The longer alphas are more like the actual game you just bought (or at least a stage in its evolution)

Check out the FAQ to avoid common mistakes and check out some of the content creators on YouTube and Twitch for examples of playthru.

See you in there!

Hey there, @CountLeGizi and welcome!

Glad you're here and hope you'll roll with it when the playtest starts - it's gonna be a wild ride this time, methinks. There will be blood, but there will also be bugs. Don't panic, ok?

There's some really helpful video posted by some of our content creators that might help you fare better than jumping in cold. Check out @Nekrage on Youtube and/or @Oxfurd on Twitch

Also helpful will be a strong guild. I will not promote for mine - they're good enough to promote for themselves and I have no idea what your playstyle is so find a good fit and enjoy the company AND the perks of a well-built city.

See you out there!

@Specter - I fully expect to be ganked all to f but it's for a good cause, right? Hoping the system will work as the devs envisioned

Happy New Year, m8s!

Another post in hopes of winning a key to the next longer, not free, test in February

Oooookay!
PvP will not be my best part, buuut the footage sounds very interesting.

LOL @Kralith - I feel you, brother. I was just telling @Ostaff that I might have a shot at 'coolest land parcel' but I'd probably get murdered a million times trying to build anything.

Maybe you and I should team up and provide each other mutual defense while building something splendid

YES! Christmas Kudos to @Specter, who keeps us jolly by busting up fights before anyone gets too bloody.

@Ostaff
Spot on. Thanks for the giggle. Going back to do more cooking now.... in my robe...

Happy Merry ChristmaHannuKwanziSolstikha, y'all! Whatever winter celebrations make you joyous, this Episcopalian wishes you Love, Light & Peace.

Well done to all!

Thanks, @MorganReed, for bringing this up so it could be fixed! And thanks for tanking with the superCON to help some of us little'uns get books/KP

Thanks, @Prometheus, for listening and responding to player feedback during Christmas week and under lockdown! Y'all are amazing.

Happy Merry Winter Festival of Your Delight, one and all & here's to a better New Year

@DjBIGGZ - I know my guild in the little phone game I play is very glad that the Fractured alpha is over

If you're bored, and you like match3 type games, check out Gems of War. Superb artwork and funny content. My guild is Gemma Culpa.

@Shivashanti - indeed yes! The game that launches will be VERY different from the one we're playing now, no doubt about it.

Isn't it fun to get a chance to see the whole creative arc? And have some input, as a community and not simply as an 'investor'?

@Gnoor @Shivashanti

Pretty sure the 'hermit plots' outside cities and near mining nodes are the dev's way of encouraging exactly what you're talking about. City upkeep being a constant pressure on the city leadership, I'm guessing that joining a city will involve some expectations, tho.

A solo-style player might like to live close to the tanners and the smithies and the merchant shops of the big city but I doubt they'll be welcome to use those for long without making some active contributions.

The strongest cities/guilds will be those that have the best synergy & citizen solidarity - offering excellence in city services & support for player growth in return for equitable input for the good of the whole.
