The real question is what is that person looking at that is so interesting? Seriously every time I load the page... still looking at it! The Reward / Quest portion is covering up the most important part... is it a hamburger? Chicken Nuggets? TACOS? Could it be.... P I Z Z A ?????? or.... just some hot naked elf? Or just a tree stump.... I think there are 2 pictures.... its a conspiracy!

It WAS a tree stump!!! : O

i'm going with "It just looked good."

That is probably the most likely option.

Dfggccggg

Maybe it's us, maybe it's an important human npc, maybe it's dark souls character, who knows. Maybe it just looked good.

Been doing WoW, GW2, and ESO lately...when I have time, which i rarely do.

I hope the road to angel will be hard enough to discourage all non serious people

Yes!

By memorizing is it in the way that it literal.Like do we actually have to memorize ig spells or is something in the game that allows you to learn an attack? Can you clarify i am quite confused in this aspect.

If your INT stat is high enough, you can take more abilities with you than you can fit on the action bar. Those excess abilities are the "memorized" abilities. It says so in the spotlight about character creation. We don't have to memorize them literally.

Memorized VS In-Hotbar Abilities
As we explained above, the amount of abilities you can memorize during a resting phase is not fixed. This means their number can be greater than what fits the ability hotbar at the bottom of your screen! How are you able to use them all in combat then?
Well, you can’t – not at the same time at least, since spells in your hotbar are the only ones you can actually cast. At any time when out of combat, however, you can take an ability out of the hotbar and replace it with a memorized one of your choice. This operation is not restricted as resting phases are – it’s enough you aren’t in the middle of the action really!

I remember a game where you needed the mouse cursor (was a hand) and had to move in certain patterns to cast spells. it was a horrible system.

I think i know what you're talking about. Interesting concept, not player friendly though. I'm sure that this system will be though!

@target It's almost ready. I have no ETA though.

I am very excited for this. Sounds like it'll be awesome. Besides, I'm sure afterwards these forums will go wild with everyone picking it apart to see what we can learn from it.

Bragging rights? I mean I don't know what else devs could do, seeing as how there's already a plethora of awards through The Foundation. Besides, it gives them more time and energy to devote to polishing up the game. : D

I imagine this will be insane when you take the PvP element into account, which honestly sounds awesome!

Must say i did love this spotlight! . Gonna be alot of beastmen going for aberrations and demons trying to go angel-style ahahaha

I'd hope so! The challenge sounds like a fun one if anything.

@evolgrinz said in Becomming an Angel or Abommination:

If you see a beastman walking to you, you probably won't be too scared

I think and I hope that will be somerhing related to the name plates and not only skinwise. I usually notice the nameplatesbefore the skin so giving different colors and maybe an icon to differentiate the alignment/karma would really good :).

I think that's pretty necessary. It's a UI queue to avoid people you can't risk a run in with. On top of that, the devs said that you don't need the world's greatest PC to play and it's top down, so people with lower tier systems might rely on that nameplate/color more because they might be able to see it quicker/moreeasily than if someone has an abomination skin or something.

Le boop.

So excited for trying to get angel and abomination characters going.

@rainstorm26 said in Crafting and Gear:

Alright, so I know in a number of the dev blogs have talked about resources and about crafting the knowlwdge tomes for memorized abilities, but I have yet to see crafting mentioned more than just in passing.

Does crafting work like other MMOs and RPGs where you are restricted to a set number of crafting skills or profession?

Can every player craft every item and use every type of resource or do you have to rely on other players and NPCs for certain items?

Will dungeons and such *always *provide items better than what can be crafted? If so how do pure PvP players stay on an equal playing field with those PVE players?

Does the allignment system have anything to do with who can trade with who in terms of resources or items? Will Demon players have a harder time getting new skills because of this?

Hi @rainstorm26, a few quick answers:

1. No, you're not restricted. You can learn to craft pretty much everything, but you need to learn how - and that, as @Finland mentioned, requires travelling to different regions and planets. I'm pointing to learning because you could theoretically get all the resources you need by trading with other players - but knowledge you have to find yourself :slight_smile:
2. See answer 1. Aside from a few exceptions such as steam technology which is Human-only, you could craft everything yourself. Considering several resources are unique to a specific region of a specific planet, however, trading is a pretty much a must.
3. Dungeons generally don't provide equipment directly - you can find special resources for crafting or other items through which you can enchant existing pieces. It all passes through crafting sooner or later!
4. Alignment doesn't restrict with whom you can trade directly - but it restricts how hard it is to travel to certain locations, how big is the risk you're taking, etc

Good to know. Thank you for taking the time to go about answering all of my questions! I look forward to seeing what it's like come launch. Get to see just how hard it is to get those precious resources.

@mramazing said in How do you feel about transmog system for fractured?:

FYI, transmogrification should not be a focus of any game at launch. Or prior to launch. This would include wardrobe masking, etc. It's a nice-to-have and not a needful. They already stated it's a buy once to play, I haven't seen anything about pay for looks. That would be the only time it would make sense to think about developing a system where your look is modified before release.

Foundation has rewards:
LEVEL 15: WHISPERER ARMOR SKIN
LEVEL 95: LEGATE ARMOR SKIN

They're already thinking about skins for the game. It's a lucrative income for developers and publishers.

People love their cosmetics. Can't necessarily say that I blame them.

@elyksah said in I have no friends :

@ildirettore I'll be your friend!

I'll also be your friend! And yeah, moving up seems easy enough without friends, but I'd imahine there's a point it gets more difficult.

Hey. How's it going?

Alright, so I know in a number of the dev blogs have talked about resources and about crafting the knowlwdge tomes for memorized abilities, but I have yet to see crafting mentioned more than just in passing.

• Does crafting work like other MMOs and RPGs where you are restricted to a set number of crafting skills or profession?

These two will be my first two characters simply for the goals of getting an angel amd abomination. Doubt it'll be easy, but it sounds like a nice challenge.
