Fallen Earth: Reclaiming The Wasteland En Masse

So, there's a fantastic niche MMO out these days by the name of fallen earth. Well, it's more of a classless, mmofps, sandbox, but that's impossible to really identify. Regardless, it's the deepest, most intricate game I've played yet!

The world!
Is absolutely massive. There are no loading times. Everything (with a few storyline exceptions) is open, dungeon-style format.

Oh, it's also totally destroyed. It's littered with debris, scavengable tech, and dozens of warring factions.

No map can convey the real sense of scale, but I'll try. And nothing is empty. Everywhere you go, regardless of quest, there's something to be explored, and lots of vast underground facilities.

This is about a fifth of the first section zoomed out as if from space.

The system!
The FE classless system is similiar to SWG of yore; however, there are no backsies yet, no respecs. Essentially, you get 20 AP per level; some quest grant 1-2 bonus action points. You get these points 20per-level points every 1/10th of the level you achieve; in total, there are about 1000 AP points in the game, with a minimum of 880 at 45.

Establishing that, the fallen earth system is very complex.

There are eight physical stats that require 5 action points to put a point in. Skills require one AP - I'll explain those next.

Essentially, you can build whatever you want by using complementary stats, or using reccomended builds.

Each skill is 75%/25% or 50/50 two stats. Generally, people max out four stats, and four skills or three skills and a mutation. Here's an illustration of how the skills look:

There are three combat ability trees/specs, three defense, and 3 support.
Combat: Melee, Pistol, Rifle. (Melee: 75% Strength, 25% Coordination) (Rifles and Pistols : 75% dexterity, 25% Perception.)

Defense/Buff Self/Tank Debuff: Armor Use(End (50end, 50 coord), Athletics (Coor50/End50} and Dodge(Coord75/Per25)

Support: Social, First Aid, Group Tactics (Charisma, Intelligence, Charisma)

There are also basic mutations. For the first 20 ish levels you don't have to worry about basic mutation. It doesn't take skill points until you acquire mutant abilities in sector 2.

image003.jpg

Finally, tradeskills. You are expected to know them all. You acquire xp making things. They make everything; they are the commodity. A crafter with fighting abilities is a lethal scavenger who makes up for lack in support by making people things. The crafting system is like galaxies: to make a gun, you need a stock, an action, and a barrel. All of these require individual components that can be scavenged, and so on. Here is the list.

all of this was done on a level 2 character

    nah see we don't have too many people with rifles here, we aren't texas damnit.

    Also rats don't get that big, we have killer ass snakes that keep them down pretty well.

    the roads do seem to be in better condition on the game though.

    As an inhabitant of Arizona I would resent this comment.
    But I look out the window and see nothing but desolate wasteland and I know that I must hold my tongue.

    there are big chunks of the map that say "pvp" on them

    you will get your horse killed or vehicle blown up

    okay uh

    unique setting? Loads of quests, very intense crafting system, practically an FPS (there's still some weirdness to it, but they'll fix it over time I'm guessing)

    hrm, yeah not doing it for me

    for example, you say unique, and perhaps sarcastically

    i mean, if we got rid of the UI i'd just think it was a mod
