just make them so you have to make them or buy them, cant spam them if you cant make them, and cant spam them if you cant afford them

Ok, I don't think this is a healthy way to handle consumables. They should be affordable to everyone.

Special consumables slots vs taking a spot in the skillbar; cooldown for each consumable vs a potion toxicity meter. It's all the same to me as long as they not spamable as in hack'n'slash games and everyone can afford them.

i like the idea of a toxicity meter, Dunno if DS will have much control over price , if its all player driven unless they do what BDO does and have a range of prices things can sell for and depending on the demand depends on the pricing of the item

@Robviously said in Uninspired Confidence:

@Xzoviac as someone following this game for a while now you are surely giving off a sour taste. If communication is not your strong point than maybe you should leave that to other people.

Thanks for your opinion mate, ill file it with the others.

Next time you fancy bumping a post thats a month old , maybe think of something more then nonsense to add to the thread, maybe even try being on topic with the thread?

Otherwise great point thanks for showing everyone on the forum how communication is done , hopefully my reply is sour enough for you

With the requirements to fulfill from the knowledge tree though you will have both sides complaining about each area lol.

I'm sure a pvper can cope with not pvping for a few hours

But some pve only players will complain if they cant do everything with out pvping

I used to play wow, I dont like raid Mentality of spergs who want you overgeard, and know the run perfectly on your first run. So I didnt raid.

Cant get everything you want sure I would have liked to be able to get the best kit in game solo but it's tough lol

@asspirin said in Opening inventory during fight ?:

@Xzoviac why not, but it would be closer to abilities rather than consumables (if such flasks had cooldown). But they would have to be potent, or noone would use them (in DII fireflasks were used as help for low lvl characters, but after few hours of playing they sucked, in GRIM DAWN there were some nice offensive flasks, but you wouldn´t get them from start, so again noone used them)

So make them available from start and let them scale like rest of the abilities ---> but then if no mana would be necessary to "cast" them, it would give quite advantage to user - especially low mana chars (warriors in plate). So either give them mana cost (not logical and potions would become just reskinned spells) or make them cooldown dependant on armour or something (or heavily armoured guys would just spam you with fireball flasks ) or dependant on inteligence (so low int chars would have serious disadvantages, high cooldowns and such).

just make them so you have to make them or buy them, cant spam them if you cant make them, and cant spam them if you cant afford them

Thank you

@asspirin said in Opening inventory during fight ?:

@Razvan Totally agree about balance thing, but I was rather responding to Gothix´s "single slot reserved to healing ability/potion/whatever for this purpose". I bet every build will probably use healing of some kind, limiting healing to one slot is imo limitation, so let´s leave it to player --> for me only limitation should be "8 slots for abilities" and leave choice of abilities to us.

P.S.: How many active buffs from consumables can we have at time. 1 buff consumable with long duration and 1 healing item ?

Be nice to have more then a mana and healing potion too for the alchemist potion guzzlers

Potion of explosion throwing out a fireball potion of transformation turning you in to a chicken or a powerful beast depends on how good the alchemist is

Potion of speed so on

Drink too many potions and get potion sickness and cant take anymore for 10min

@tulukaruk said in Is this game using these Unity Asset Store assets and why?:

The whole Unity is a ready "asset" In old days they would have to code everything from the ground. No point in reinventing the wheel.

No, Unity is a game engine. Writing your own renderer alone takes a lot of time and it won't look as pretty as an industry-standard engine, so it makes sense to use one. On the other hand, when it comes to assets (the ones that will be in the release), you want a homogenous graphics style, which is kind of hard to achieve by gluing together cheap assets from unity store.

They are making there own monsters and spells, apart from the UI , and some animal mobs such as rabbits and deer (hardly need a unique rabbit).

The UI could always be updated later if its necessary (take black desert for example)
I Personally think the ui looks fine atm and looks like it fits fractured

Rupies....

@Gothix said in How big should guilds allowed to be?:

Depends on how much "survival" will Fractured feature when it gets released.

With a bit more focus on survival, a big zerg (without resources, because people will be weight limited) could starve or freeze to death in night without shelter, and die, loosing all their gear in the process.

Would love it if we could use tactics, like starve the enemy out.

Massive enemy guild hold up in its castle freeze the water source and stop supply wagons so the guild has to leave its castle to fight or starve to death

Wooooooo

congrats

Will the planned open weekend at the end of this month be just for paid backers, or are we going for all registered users again?

Is the spartial OS issue fixed or is it still in the process of being?

Next time a 13 year old in any game you play tells you they did your mum, because you killed them.
Are you gonna ring your mum and ask about your new stepdad?... no

i report them. i take it seriously.

You take what seriously?
.... As I thought a gm time waster.

The fact you would report that as abusive chat is exactly my point.

The gms are not the hurt feelings police.
I hope people who abuse the report features lose the privilege

However, I think the real-life threats and in-game threats should be treated differently because in the latter case it's basically just stupid kids whose mouths talk without their brains but are harmless otherwise.

so we should treat swatting lightly too? threats to the player should be taken seriously. I will report them all. if the player continues then i'll press further for some type of action to happen.

at no point should a threat be passed on.

Why should it be taken seriously?

Why cant you just block them and move on?
It's just words... they have as much meaning as you give them

Why let some pleb have so much power over you, actually feel threatened by these scrubs?

if you dont feel threatened then you are just abusing a system to try get someone who's actions you dont like banned.
Wich is a waste of gm time.
Deal with it in game.

Block PK move on

Also not sure what calling the police in real life declaring a fake crime to scare a person has to do with abuse in a game

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatting

the main reason is you dont know for a fact when someone is 'joking' and being serious. it's better to take it all as being serious than to just pretend it's a joke.

besides you wouldn't take a physical threat while being in public, the same should apply in games.

video games shouldn't be a way for bullies to threaten others.

peta tried to ban pokemon because you wouldn't fight animals in real life so same should apply in games

If the problem is with bullies, then people shouldn't be allowed to gang up on solo players and pk them over and over again.
thing is with a real life threat, the person is REAL and in front of you and has access to you.

Someone online from probably a different country has no way to carry out any threats its just words.
how can someone bully you with words when there is a block button.

ill ask you the question i asked before that you didnt answer again.
Saying G.Ms should take everything people online say seriously is crazy.

if they keep making alts to harass you then its a GM problem

It's just words... they have as much meaning as you give them.

Do actually feel threatened by these scrubs?
if you dont feel threatened then you are just abusing a system, Which is a waste of gm time.

@Razvan said in When will shop items become available ?:

Sorry to necro this thread, but I didn't want to start a new one.

Anyway, I have some questions about the cosmetic items.

• I read that they are bound to the account, so my guess is that dropping them on death or selling them it's impossible. Is that correct?
• Can I use the same cosmetic item on 2 characters from my account in the same time?
• There are some pets and decorations for sale right now. Will these be exclusive to early access, or they will remain in store when the game does live?

The shop stuff will change eventually I think you will eventually lose the chance to buy them.

You can use cosmetics on all chars and swap and change skins at will

They want to avoid pay to win so I think you wont be able to sell cosmetics but I dont know

Why is this game using bought assets from the Unity Asset Store?

I know it's easy, but it gives the game a bad name when such lazy practices are being used.

How much else of the game is made out of purchased assets?

Considering how the stress test was a complete failure and almost nobody was able to play, I'm curious will this game ever amount to anything...

Why does it give the game a bad name?

Who are the assets aimed at if not people making a game?

Not like DS is a massive studio...

Surely game assets (that imo are high quality)
Are aimed at the demographic of companies like DS
