Real life politics has no place in fantasy games.

At least should not have.

@Gothix said in Gamer Demographics & Namings:

If i saw a MMO with races called Beastpersons, and using various terminologies like person power (instead of manpower), parent nature (instead of mother natre), ... "insert many other crap sounding vocabulary terms here"...

True. It is not just about one word; Beastmen. If someone choose to take this neutral-gender- wording road, then it needs to be done properly and those new weird terms would annoy more of people rather get anyone interested.

@PeachMcD said in Gamer Demographics & Namings:

Not saying women & non-binary folk won't play a game that's not taking them into account - we've been doing that for decades now

You make it sound like you are some kind of victims here..

but if the idea is to make the game as attractive as possible to the most buyers..

If every gender related words would been changed for more neutral ones, that won't attract everybody. It has positive impact to small portion of players, but negative impact for wider audiance. That is one of the problems purely from business point of view

..I'm having trouble understanding why suggesting non-gendered naming is so upsetting to y'all.

I stand 100% behind every kind of equality, but I would not like to see this kind of politics having influence in any game. Totally wrong place to promote specific ideology imho.

The biggest problem with your suggestion was that word man or men does not only mean a male. It is also synonyme for words like person, human and human being. So word man also includes females. Beastman (as a word) can be compared straight for human in Fractured, in both case it is not about males, it is about persons. Moreover, etymology for Beast + Man is "an intelligent man-sized beast".

Sooo, I am not here to segregate anyone, just speaking behalf some words and their true meaning, and how I see changes like in your suggestion more like negative for business.

@Roccandil said in Real Crafting:

Anything but chores! I don't want to see items decaying unless they're being used.

I agree with you. I understand if items will need repairing when used and even eventually come to the point and break, but items which are not used should stay permanent.

Beastman is a real english word and not something what Fractured developers has created. We have in every language these old traditional words, which are referring to specific genders. Even we are currently living in much more equality times than past, it is still important to not go too far and not over react too much. What it comes to word man, it does not just mean gender, it also means human, human being or person. So with that logic we would need to invent new word for human too.. should I as a father hurt my feelings of words like earth mother or mother language? No I do not.

There is some other options for item sinks on top of decay:

• Salvage
• Research
• Crafting
• Repair
• Loot drops PvE

Possibility to salvage items back to portion of resources is a really effective feature.

There could be research feature, which is used to investigate item to find a crafting recipe or part of it. Item itself will be destroyed in process.

Some finished items could be used as ingredients for other items.

Some items could be used for repairing others.

There could be hardcore PvE content where some mobs/creatures/bosses are lethal and will not just knockdown players, but also tries to execute them. That leads to loot drops and trashed items like in PvP.

@Gothix I thought you were against restrictions in sandbox games..

@Kralith I am not actually against swimming, but I would more like to see rivers and lakes separating areas from each other and creating bottle necks for combat situations for example. If swimming will be implemented, I still hope there will be points, which are too deep or there is too strong current for swimming.

@Jetah said in Are we able to collect water from Rivers,Lakes,etc:

@Tuoni

but any frost mage spells can freeze the water so players can walk on so while you're right it isn't always the case.

It is okay that some spells can freeze water and hopefully we can see a lot of that spells will interact with environment.

I'd love to see professions offer a way to make bridges of different materials to traverse water, valleys, etc.
rope bridges that could be upgraded to small wooden plank that are upgraded to full wooden bridges, as examples. Now if they could be destroyed!!! \o/

Something like this would be nice.

@nebunu There is a chance to win an alpha-key if you promote Fractured. Here is link for that thread: Win Alpha key

Otherwise you need to buy a proper package from store. Different packages have access to different testing phases. So if you want to hop in to the next Alpha 1 Test 2, you need to buy Knight package with 130€. You can get to the store from here: Store

@Gothix Game does not need to restrict the freedom of choise how many professions and how deep players can dive into those. Timewall and different interests of players will keep the system and trading in balance. Basic sandbox stuff.

@Kralith said in Are we able to collect water from Rivers,Lakes,etc:

I am almost sure, they will think about swimming through water later on.

I would actually guess opposite. Rivers and lakes are good way to separate areas from each other so players needs to use shallow spots or bridges to get accross. From my experience isometric games does not usually have swimming, but I could be wrong as well.

@Belligero said in Have Target HP Suggestion:

I'm sure the UI will improve over time and be more useful. Seriously, everything is just bare-bones right now and shouldn't be any indication of the final product.

Pretty much this.

@Medic said in Hey guys, just trying to get an idea on this game:

I play Albion Online rather a lot, so obviously this game peaked my interest. Is this game similar in many ways or am i looking at it all wrong?

Many thanks.

Both are full loot sandbox MMORPGs with player-driven economy and moba styled combat. So yes the starting point is very similiar, but there is a good amount of differencies too with the content itself. Character progression is totally different, Albion's vertical versus Fractured horizontal. Fractured caters equally casual, hardcore, PvE and PvP players with three planet system. I have understood that GvGs are not just restricted for 5v5 and we are going to see larger battles around towns and other objects. These were few main points what came up my mind.

@Warlunhardt said in Ease up Starting Zone Gathering Resources:

For example in Albion Online you have enough resources around to create the basic needed tools and the basic clothing. If not we’ll end up naked like on Ark and it becomes night fast and your dying from frost.

I guess we are going to see more starting area testing in beta phases. I remember how even in Albion there was times at launch when every resource node was depleted everywhere all the time. However, one option was to travel a little bit away from starting area to get better those resources. Usually game performance was much more playable away from mass of players too. Furthermore, back to your concern, if it looks like, that starting area lacks of resources, one easy way is just to speed up respawn times.

You can lower Resources for Demon Race since lore says it’s a very hard land.

I would keep it same for all. Tartaros will be enough hard land without lack of resources.

@Althalus said in WoW Classic is coming:

WoW single handedly ruined the mmorpg genre!!! the mmorpg genre would have been so much different if WoW hadn't been such a success...

Have you thought, that the success of WoW has also got more people to intrest about the MMORPG genre. Many people have started with WoW and then moved on something else. I am not sure how someone can ruin a whole genre just by making popular and well done game..

@MuriBuri said in [KTMH] Kynigos Theraton:

@Tuoni oh yeah i joined another guild so you see your own profile now haha! Click on my banner under my name to join us

Hmmm.. maybe it should not show anything.

@Meiki It is hard to see that they can change the direction of subs during BfA and their-long term bait attempts are also turning against them, and are in best case just a temporary bandage.

Classic will provide valueable information for devs when thinking the future of WoW, expansion 10.0 or even long waited totally new game WoW 2. So Classic is not just an important project itself, it is also important for future projects and may have significant influence for the later direction of retail.

Classic WoW might be Activison-Blizzards last chance to save the franchise. If the recent leaks are true and retail has already under million subs, who knows what happens if 9.0 goes same category as BfA, a failure. It might be the end, so I am personally hoping Classic to be a success regardless am I going to play it for long or just few months.

@Lurric said in Town Seiges/Conquest in Different Worlds:

So I understand that humans will have the option to go to war with each other, attack each others' settlements, etc. Will the same gameplay be available in Tartaros, or is the PvP there intended to be more skirmish-based?

In both planets the PvP happens very similiar way. What it comes for open world PvP and like already mentioned, in Tartaros killing other players does not have consequences, but in Syndesia there is some restrictive rules and karma/flagging system to keep PvP more in control.

Both planets will have town/object sieges, which are most likely very similiar from each other. We do not know much about sieges yet and even devs have still designing the mechanics if I have understood right. Still, these sieges most likely needs to be declare and then there is time for both sides to prepare for the battle. So these sieges are more like events rather than random fights.

You can read a little bit more of PvP generally from here: FS6 PvP

Welcome to Fractured and its community. I am GoT fan, but I have never even concidered to play that game. Maybe because in most cases, games which are licenced from series or movies are more or less failures, at least from my opinion.

Most likely the best gear will be crafted by players, but the restriction can be gated behind rare resources, crafting progression and recipes found/unlocked.
