+1 +1 to @Razvan's point.

It's great to have a variety of content providers interested in the game, but making players dependent on any platform OUTSIDE of the official game website/forum seems like a seriously debilitating choice.

This is the second time I've encountered a problem where, having made it past the 'loading world' hangup and gotten into the game, I can't access the crafting menu. When this happens, there's also an overlay/doubling of my minimap coords that makes them unreadable.

When that happens, I've tried 'logout' but then get a generic toon in the entry screen. All I can do is exit and pray that the 'loading world' doesn't hang me up again.

Meanwhile, I'm STILL unable to build a fireplace in my own home (yes, a 4x4. In a city) and have to rest at my friend's place. THAT bug needed to be fixed or WELL-POSTED for incoming new players yesterday, y'all.

Here's hoping the new players don't have the kind of 'loading world' problems I am having the last few days.

LOL I saw that and almost posted on it. That hot pink is really some neon innit?

I keep hoping I'll find that they've fixed this whenever I see a patch, but so far no joy. So glad @Razvan lets me crash at his place in town!

Thanks Meridian!

I hope they'll fix this in time for the FREE KEY PEOPLE from G.Round who will flood in tomorrow.... and no doubt be dismayed to find they can't furnish the homes they've spent all day building. That's a really bad look for them if they want to sell this game, innit @Specter?

but can you build a fireplace in them? That's what I wanna know!

I've had trouble getting into the game during this test ("Loading World" issue) but when I've been able to get in, my interactions in chat have been uniformly positive. I say this not to contradict @Oxfurd but to say that the chat's not ALL toxic, even if folks there have been less constructive than we normally are in this forum.

My take: There's a lot of toxicity abroad in the world nowadays. The petulance and aggrieved whinging of privilege has been given free rein and a VERY powerful firgurehead, and many better examples have been silenced or marginalized.

We have an opportunity here to model constructive and open-minded critique of a game in progress, but many of us have zero idea how that works because the models have been missing for US.

Perhaps the best we can do is hope that @Prometheus & the devs will prioritize the 'mute'/'block' feature in Global chat for next test, so the trolls can be more easily ignored. But we can all do our part in THIS test by steadfastly refusing to be baited.

Can you post the talent tree for this plz? TY

I wasn't going to say anything, bc I know it's just minor & being more careful will fix it, but I've closed the game 3 times now because the X's are so close together. I'm gonna guess I'm not the only one who's done this.

A person is focused on getting somewhere, and checking their orientation in the wilderness and which way to head at a crossroad. A person could really appreciate some compassion from the developers. The two X's are almost identical and within a centimeter of each other.

I'm thrilled to be able to even play, so I don't wanna whine about trifles, but this is a QOL fix to put well up the list.

Thanks for listening!

@Prometheus I'm part of a city as well. South side of Meridian, nearest the water.

@Alexian - @Razvan escorted me to the Vale today and tanked for me so I could kill a buncha mobs and get some skills. It was like 3AM in Romania Can't thank him enough.

A very nice person was talking about his Gladiator Quarterstaff Fighter build and gave me some starting stats: Per19 Dex19 Str19 Con12

I tried to replicate that, but the first 3 stats only go to 18. What did I miss?

I've had a couple of floating boxes that only disappeared when I logged out, and I'm suddenly having the 'world loading' bug again after being able to get in pretty easily the last couple of days.

Considering the premise of Fractured as a sandbox with "hardcore"/inconvenient elements like having to physically bend over and pick up lumber, one log at a time, and place it in a handcart in order to move it from A to B... I expect that, to the devs and many of the backers, that's part of the fun. Count me among them; the end result is that I feel like I've truly accomplished something when it takes time and effort.

Playing this game is reminding this old hippie of one of the Substance Users Pearls of Wisdom(tm):
"When you're high, every task is a production number. When you're tripping, it's an ordeal."

Fractured breaks down so many goals a person might choose into LOTS of component parts (hmmm... the name is more apt than I'd realized til just this moment). That's a feature, not a bug, so if you hate that it's a good thing to find out NOW.

@Smax - acc to @Specter, being unable to build stuff inside a "4x4 patio" is a known bug. He advises building something else. I finished up a 4x4 withOUT a patio yesterday and am unable to place a fireplace in it, so the bug may be bigger than @Prometheus & the devs are aware. The link Silynx gives above is where I put my 'mee tooooo'

Here's hoping they'll work that out quickly. Would've been a good thing to communicate using a pinned thread someplace prominent on the A2T3 forum

@Razvan hihi boss! Just found this. sorry for lag on reply, but we've already connected in Guilded so...

Wanna say how much I appreciate you and the whole Meridian leadership team. I was, admittedly, wary of a guild that was so organized but so far I've only seen that has a plus. THANKS y'all!

@Specter

Hi Specter - I finished a plain 4x4 yesterday - no patio - and couldn't place my fireplace inside. Could be that exiting and re-entering will help but wanted to put this here just in case.

I am able to cast now. This thread can close. Thanks y'all!

Multo grazie to all for your assistance and advice. Gonna fix that right NOW. <mwah>

woot! BONUS
