As promised, the indie team at Dynamight Studios has officially begun Fractured’s relaunch pretest as of today. This is expected to be the largest stress of the game’s post-Gamigo build. The event – available only to players who own the right tier of the game since Kickstarter or early access sales – will last through July 30th, a full 12 days.
“The Server War is a time-limited testing phase in which new characters are thrown directly into the end-game, with free progression and items,” the studio says. “Its purpose is to get feedback on the balancing of end-game combat before the full game relaunch, with a special focus on PvP, including city warfare.” Players will be limited to a single continent, Aerhen, and granted perks like unlimited respecs, capped ranks, cheap land, free city raids, and admin commands, so essentially nobody is starting as a total newbie for the test run.
On Discord, Dynamight has invited players to post their builds on the forums, which are otherwise pretty quiet – again, the fact that this event is locked behind a box fee is probably not helping that.
