I'm really excited we passed the line on character creation

Welcome to the community!

Pretty solid update, thanks for the news. Excitement keeps building in to next month.

Welcome to the community!

I noticed the same thing earlier and went to work excited for some news or an update soon. I can't wait for something new since the whole Spatial OS situation weeks ago.

Welcome to the community!

Hello and welcome to the Fractured community!

We're all on that same grind brotha. Welcome!

@TelmiWhy

It's gotten pretty deep and it looks rewarding to. Check

for crafting. He's been going pretty hard on it.

Too soon to tell OP.. The game will change heavily over the course of development and we're not even in major testing phase. The major differences that are being promised fall back on the planets, the factions and their unique rule sets.. The politics of the towns.. etc.. Even still, some of these things aren't new.. It's just the packaging that makes them unique. The question is, are these things going to divide an already small niche player base OR will they be the things that draw more people in then before.. More people then a game like Albion Online.

Too soo to be specific IMO, it's all hopes and dreams at the moment.

@FibS said in What elevates Fractured above similar games like Albion Online?:

Fractured is almost the exact inverse / opposite of Albion Online.
etc etc etc
Please check everything you know about Albion at the door; Fractured is unlike it in any way except its camera angle, and God bless that.

Sorry to say, this is biased and pretty misleading. I get it, this isn't an AO safe space.. but it's pretty over the top.

The crafting in crowfall is looking promising. I've been watching streamers and it's shaping up nicely over there.

Great news! I'm looking forward to that state of the union.

Man, I've always disliked this forum platform.. but this took it to a new level. I feel like this software really limits the ability to have thorough discussions compared to some other more popular platforms. I used to administrate some large communities from self-hosted to PaaS type solutions and this downtime was insane.. Never seen anything like that.

Reading these posts everyday continues to concern me.. When you back a project like this, you never think the engine developer or a middleware developer will be it's undoing.

I just don't see how this gets resolved the way the statements have been coming out of both sides.

@kralith said in Unity has blocked SpatialOS - What's up and what it means for us:

But it is true, that their Cloudplatform is in Alpha right now:

That's concerning.. Interesting how it took a few days for this to get dug up. The initial press pass missed this as well. This competing platform paints things in a whole different light.

@mazikar said in Unity has blocked SpatialOS - What's up and what it means for us:

It is looking less and less like this will have anything to do with Fractured. Looks more like in fighting and posturing with another developer. It should all be over soon.

See something new? I agree with the posturing.. but I'm not seeing the other stuff you mentioned.

@specter That's very concerning, I sure hope it doesn't come to that.

After following this all day.. it really reads of greed. I mean, I get it..Unity wants a piece of whatever Improbable license.. and they're likely entitled to something. I'm just not sure how Improbable expected this to play out? Now you're got Epic involved.. trying to take sides. Ugh.

Welcome and happyn ew year to you too!
