@grofire said in Winter Alpha Spotlight – City Overhaul:
maybe connect the amount of players that live around the city to the research available to the city
That's exactly how it works - ranking up a city no longer requires citizens but residents, that is, claimed land parcels in the whole region 
@Hickory said in Small thing but personally drives me a bit crazy:
Any chance you can have an Audio option to remove UI sounds? E.g every time I click on something in the UI, or open inventory, there are these annoying, distracting sounds. Group them as UI sounds and let us turn them off please if we so wish (I do!), thank you
Duly noted, it should be an option indeed. We'll add it ASAP
Hi @Fraxav, the account guard uses cookies indeed. It's kind of a standard implementation for such a system - it's not only people in faraway places that can get hold of your password 
The control on multiple failed login attempts also exists, but it serves another purpose (preventing brute force attacks).
If it annoys you, you can disable it completely from your account menu!
@Logain said in Tech Tree, Marketplace & Money For Dynamight:
I'm not sure if any of that has changed, but as far as I remember, the plan was for the governor/mayor of a region/city to be voted. A guild/group with enough manpower could simply claim enough space, to get enough votes to install their own leader.
Nope, that's no longer a thing, at least not for Syndesia
@Farlander said in Tech Tree, Marketplace & Money For Dynamight:
@Prometheus Will there be some kind of ingame auction or auction house?
Not planned for now
@GreatValdus said in Tech Tree, Marketplace & Money For Dynamight:
@Logain but still you could have a situation where every city is taken and full.
Then a big guild arises but can do nothing because it doesn't have a city to launch attacks from, so it can gain nothing.
A guild without a city can launch a conquest against a city at the Hamlet or Village stage, unless that city is fully surrounded by territories belonging to the same Nation. More info on the topic in the next videos!
@Hathos said in Evasion is currently useless in its current state:
At the moment, I am able to reach over 600 evasion with inspire, yet it is effectively no different than being 0 in PvP.
If you are stunned, you cannot dodge attacks. The issue with this is currently the meta for melee is centered around abilities like Bash, Shockwave. and Word of Power: Stun, which all currently disregard evasion and have no diminishing returns. Meaning, in a battle, you can be stunned immediately by an ability that you cannot dodge with evasion, and then all subsequent melee hits will be guaranteed to land on you.
Yes, that's yet another issue with the current excessive power level of stuns. We have a big balancing patch coming next week that will address it
@asspirin @Hathos @kellewic crits can be dodged, I removed it from the wiki
@Clinion what @Gothix said above is correct - aside from the bit on PvE. You'll actually be able to "grind for your needs" through PvE, since gold is dropped by humanoids - the game currently only features goblins, but there will also be orcs, trolls, kobolds... The usual bunch Also, some creatures will drop gems you'll be able to sell to NPCs for gold - that's going to yield better results, but prices will fluctuate widely from city to city, so you'll have to know where to go
Hello everyone!
Here comes the second update on the upcoming Fall Alpha 2021, following the one posted a few days ago which covered the major changes to equipment balancing and progression.
Let us know what you think of these changes!
Enjoy Fractured!

perfect thanks for the response was interested in making a female shadow would your team see that as an option?
Yes, it will be
Hi all,
today we have double news for you: a review of our previous "relaunch pretest", and the announcement of the next one - the Server War event, 12 days of PvE and PvP madness starting on July 19!
Let's get ready for the SERVER WAR!
Hi everyone,
the deployment crashed tonight around 2.40am CET.
We've been investigating since we woke up (about 2h ago) and we should have pinpointed what caused that. It's not related to server load, which was fine.
We're still trying to figure out the details and whether that's an error on our side or was originated by something akin to a DDOS attack.
We'll keep you updated in this thread.
Big apologies for the inconvenience, there'll be compensation for the play time and possible player progression lost.
UPDATE
The blame is on us. We're working on a fix. New ETA for when the Fall Alpha should be back up: 4pm CET (10am ET).
@GreatValdus said in Cities, Permissions, Griefing:
I've seen a lot of actions are logged in game, can you confirm that also stuff like "XXX have canceled smelting, this wasting a lot of resources and time" will be logged in the smelted, so that the governor can ban the offending citizen from the city?
That's not implemented as of today but could it's something we should consider in the future, for sure!
Hi all!
As we prepare for the relaunch on Steam Early Access, we've decided to have a last playtest with a wipe beforehand.
Here we go then: the Fall Playtest is starting on Thursday, September 28, at 2pm UTC, and will last until the night of Sunday, October 15!
To celebrate this huge upcoming milestone, we’ve decided to apply a discount to current founder packs. Say hi to the Final Relaunch Sale and 40% cheaper game access!
We can't wait to see you all in game again! 
--->PLEASE NOTE<---
The spawn of legends is temporarily suspended due to an issue that caused excessive loot drops.
There is also an error with the new city maintenance table. Values for Cereals and Proteins are too high (the values at rank 24 should be 40 and 80 respectively, not 70 and 140).
Both issues are going to be hotfixed tomorrow morning. Apologies for the inconvenience!
--->PLEASE NOTE<---
@anathem said in Steam Relaunch Day Revealed:
So will my "WHISPERER" title transfer to the steam if I will buy the game on steam and use my current account?
It will By the way, you reached title #8, you can switch them in your profile eheh
@Nekrage we definitely agree on this, durability loss is too fast now and indeed affects tanks only. We're likely going for a combination take damage / deal damage to trigger durability loss on armor in the future and slow down the deterioration of metal armor.
@Esoba the issue with repairing is that it doesn't take into account the cost of enchantments, that's why it's likely that won't be an option unless we go for something like losing enchantments on repair.
On a... related note, how do you evaluate the durability loss of weapons now?
Hi all,
Fractured Online has officially been patched with the base build that's going to be used for relaunch on November 8! This update is very impactful if you are a Steam user - read the post for all the info!
See you soon in game!
@MorganReed said in CON is way too overpowered for Warriors.:
I am a warrior main, and I was among to first to notice that high-con builds are insanely overpowered. Right now at 27 con with a full set of bronze armor, talents, and enchanted trinkets leads to a 1.2 second block cooldown, a 5 recharge on all warfare "strike" abilities, a 26 second second wind cooldown and a 27% increase in attack speed with frenzy.
The fact you could get above 25 CON was a bug, just fixed
As for the rest, you are right that CON gives way too much offensive potential while it should be a defensive attribute. We're going to address that before the start of the Winter Alpha.
Hi, fellow gamer and MMO enthustiast!
Here come the largest balancing patch since our Early Access launch, targeted at both PvE and PvP. This patch wasn't planned, but it was sorely needed as we saw gold and divine reward generation get out of control in the end game, with insane amounts of gold, orbs and recipes being generated every day. This had no damage on the economy yet since it's been going on for a few days only, but would have a major impact in the long run. Moreover, complaints about PvP balancing were still widespread, so we needed to address those as well.
Is this all? Of course not, a lot more will be live in the upcoming patch Endgame Changer, the first major release of the game! For now however, this should shake the meta and adjust the economy. Because of this, we've reset the respec timer for all characters and respecs now have a cooldown of 1 day instead of 1 week!
This is all for now. Stay tuned for the engame changer!
A quick server patch to bring you two of the most requested fixes! Have a nice weekend!
