un: Mithrun1 | Re: Digital Conference

There's a digital conference on September 23rd. We'll be able to ask CC Corp questions about the game and its anomalies.

How clearly they'll answer, I don't know. But it may be worthwhile to pool together everyone's observations, speculations, and complaints here. Different people have seen different things in Fragment, and not a lot of that information is consolidated.

If you've commented on the forums with your observations before, or seen a worthwhile comment, then you can re-link it.

For example, on the topic of the level cap armor:
• UTA's post (in-game NPCs' warning against using it)
• Zelkova's response (indicating the armor was not an intended feature, nor are titles)
• UTA's comment (in-game NPCs claiming only two individuals can "create things")

If you want to talk about something offline for whatever reason, DM me. I don't really mind sharing my number or email.

Yes, the game does appear to be filled with quite a number of bugs, as it were.

Part of the debate does centralize around whether or not they've been purposely allowed to become this bad, however. There are fixes that arrive, but often a bit too late for comfort to most.

what kinds of bugs? are people clipping into walls and stuff?

So far, these 'bugs' seem to be more or less inducing odd side effects and incidents such as:

Physical pain, nausea, loss of touch, loss in awareness of one's state of being, blindness, memory, deterioration in physical condition, one's personal past being shared in various ways and methods to strangers, sensitivity, headaches, temporary loss of consciousness, increased sensitivity to temperature changes in-game whether based upon weather or interaction with bodies of water or various dungeon effects. Spontaneous, unexplainable temporary changes in mood, personality, states of mind that include experiencing irresistible compulsions into taking certain actions or speaking a certain way.

In addition, for the more technical aspect, you have odd outliers such as harmless creatures turning into exactly that, apparent unexplained increased aggression from monsters, avatars being switched around with others, and other various oddities. Of course, those seem to have received resolution.

In either case, one might say that these strange occurrences warrants more investigation.

You're a new user, right? You've caught up quickly.

In truth, I have been playing for awhile. Just not as often as most had.

Not to mention, it is fairly easy to catch up when there's a good amount of information available to be read on the network.

While true, there's a good amount of information withheld in official spaces. It makes it inconvenient to gather additional information, beyond hands-on testing.

Perhaps that remains the case now. Still, I wouldn't be so concerned.

After all, it's only a matter of time, isn't it?

Are you referring to how things will become known in their own time?

Yes, that's definitely what I meant.

If not that, then what?

I suppose that one other meaning of my response can be interpreted less loosely and more as, 'that it is an inevitability that the situation shall escalate so that, naturally, more information will be readily available.'

that's a lot of side effects?!!

It is. But you could always potentially avoid them as well.

Nonetheless, you are at least more informed than you were moments ago.

i can understand some of them from a psychological or mental standpoint but "deterioration in physical condition" and "one's personal past being shared in various ways and methods to strangers" seem intense even for that??

That could be precisely the point.

If they are seeking particular kinds of information, they could be looking to observe the variety in reactions and effects in certain conditions on those present.
