Welcome to our fascinating crew! Look around and see the fun in process while we help create the best game on the web

Want to +1 this as a general idea/goal.

The discussion so far has pointed out possible pitfalls of various ways of realizing the idea, and possible work-arounds, which is a great help for devs & evidence of a strong player community.... as long as posts don't get too picayune or combative to stay constructive.

So I want to thank everyone for their thoughtful input on any idea presented in these forums, while asking anyone who's preparing a post commenting on new ideas to take a deep breath and re-read what they've written, asking, "Is this comment constructive? Does it respect others in the discussion as I would hope to be respected?"

This isn't a comment on ANY of the posts/comments above. This is a general PSA bc this forum is well-constructed to make new ideas into game-realities - but new ideas are often tender shoots & stomping too hard on the possible problems that might arise can have the unintended effect of killing excellent possibilities trying to grow.

Inspiring!! gratz, @Xulu !!

Welcome @Starchaser! Sounds great! Thanks for being a pioneer, to encounter and overcome all the problems new players need to learn about.

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!

@Gibbx said in Dùath port town of Arboreus:

@LilCassiopeia I wonder why you think you would need to hire mercs to 'protect' a town on Arboreus? Beastkin will surely be able to defend themselves quite well, especially on their home turf. Don't you think there will be plenty of PCs who are envisioned as protectors of their fellows?

The Beastling Pack guild I'm putting together will not have a 'home' but is envisioned as a nomadic group offering their services to off-world travelers unfamiliar with Arborean dangers. Merchants and crafters, as well as curious human explorers, may contract our services at fair rates, and avoid harm/hassles.

I expect that Dùath will have no problems defending itself, but my members of my guild have been given access to the port town in return for helping its citizens travel in safety.

For me, it feels like a great way to enjoy exploration and PvE challenges, and make a living at the same time w/o being stuck somewhere crafting for the market. We'll see how it works once the game is up and running....

I kept waiting for devs to post some gamer vids from the early tests. Were there some on a different site that I just missed the link for? Will some upcoming alpha 2.1 participants who are able please please post links to vids in this forum?

I'll be honest, I don't want to have to download another app to watch them. I'd prefer that they be on YouTube or another free platform. Because disposable income is an issue for me and my computer is not top of the line.

Thanks!

As I see it, the people who purchase the Founder level packages and participate in all alphas & betas will enter with a distinct advantage. Every level of support for the development of this game accords the 'investor' with a level of advantage when the game is released, since they'll have had experience in the interface and a say in the feedback on each test.

Even people who don't invest, but lurk and learn on this forum, on the wiki, and on the game's website, will have an advantage when the game goes live.

What sort of advantage does your hypothetical 'guy' want? Those are the advantages available, as far as I'm aware....

WHOA!!!!! That's amazing stuff, @Znirf
Temple is gorgeous - totem is way evocative. Lucky alpha key players running around in there better take some fun vids for all us poors

I am excited about learning some words of power and protecting travelers from bad guys. Thanks for the update

well done! How's the view from up there?

gratz and keep on flogging those dead horses y'all! Finding something halfway intelligent to say about threads that have jumped the is a skill, to be sure

well played! and well met!

LOL you guys are debating something that is actually under the complete control of the devs as though it's a matter of logic.

I grok that the universe we'll be entering is meant to be learnable and immersive, but assuming it obeys whichever laws of logic YOU cite is a stretch.

Yogis would say 'Tat twam asi' - "This is not that"
A Buddhist teacher would say "mu"
I say, 'learn it the way the devs make it'

This was an excellent question! Thanks to @asspirin for asking and to @Znirf for clarification.

I'm always amused when I 'hear' folks talking about game mechanics as though they ought to be (or are) completely intuitively obvious. In fact, game mech is utterly arbitrary - whatever devs say they are. So I'm always looking for clues and NEVER assuming.

You could not possibly do worse than the current global oligarchic hegemons. Come on down!

@Farlander said in Completionist Titles:

I always liked being able to set a key to flash all the names on the screen.

ooooh! SHINY!!!

@Cinnao - methinks the actual title would be 'Incel Prime'

YUK! That's so gruesomely AWESOME!

I'm not fussed about winning a key, but this group of players is actually interested in the game - 12 buys so far from them, so I'm keeping them posted on developments.

@Specter said in Kinda wish Reddit was used more than these forums.:

Fractured already has a subreddit. (alternative link for those who hate the new layout). It seems most people stick to the official forum though, probably due to the Foundation.

well there you go then, @Orich ! Once again, Devs FTW
