[quote who="gapper4" reply="35" id="2646884"] Quoting Tridus, reply 32 Quoting TarponCrest, reply 31 why not just make it so that in multiplayer(or both single as well) there is an option to play the game as RT or TB tactical battles. This way insane players like me that like to take "days" on one move can do TB and for those that have limited time and want to do fast battles in multiplayer have a RT battle with all its chaos and glory

[quote who="Raven X" reply="30" id="2646783"] Note: No offense to any gay people. Some of my best friends have been gay. Some of my wife's friends are gay. Hell, I've even had some ex girlfriends who we Bi and or Lesbian. What people do behind closed doors is Their Business. [/quote] I don't know a single one. There must be lots of gay ppl in the US. Either way...wow. We went OT again -as usual- but ah well. :D

[quote who="Burningpet" reply="3" id="2646670"]http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/05/31/dungeon-keeper-world-hmm/ dungeon keeper mmo is being developed appearently. which makes me sad. [/quote] DK MMO? What the?!...yet another "facepalm" moment. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="3" id="2646620"]Lol! Is that gonna be in the vannila game? [/quote] Lol! :D I've got a crazy idea! Why not add a spell, which will "exploit" these dancing animations? It could work like a "Hold Monster" spell or something. IE. When you cast the spell on a creature it will start to dance for X number of turns. While the creature is under the effect of the spell, it won't be able to move or attack...if the creature takes any dmg, the effect

[quote who="seanw3" reply="26" id="2646573"]If turn based flops we will see a swift change in combat before release. [/quote] Nop, the current turn/tile based system won't be changed before release. It was quite expensive for SD to change from the old system to the current one. Froggie was talking about this in the tactical combat topic. Also why should it flop? Just because X number of players are against the current battle system? I trust in the devs, not to mention that they s

[quote who="Climber" reply="13" id="2646459"]Great idea, like it! Should be 'canon'. [/quote] Agreed, but IIRC Froggie dislikes the idea. :P

[quote who="Hawks282" reply="88" id="2646444"]And people hate elves why exactly? [/quote] ..because of Dwarf Fortress! [e digicons]*_*[/e]

[quote who="Tridus" reply="17" id="2646415"] Quoting Saeter, reply 16 Others like tiles/turn based more. Or WEGO which is also great when well implemented. But why argue that all games should keep to one battle system or the other? That would be very boring. Instead we can enjoy them all, in different games. The point is which system should Elemental have? It was billed with one of them, then changed to another one. So, in changing

[quote]also i was thinking of ORDERING you to do Wizardry 9... same reasons [/quote] Wizardry 9 with isometric tactical combat = I would pay $100 for that game. [e digicons]:pout:[/e]

[quote who="majiger" reply="85" id="2646399"]I think that is what he means too. As in you CAN choose Elves, Dwarces, Halflings, etc. but not in the Beta. They will be available but they are not the main race I guess you could say...I mean how many fantasy games do we see that do not have elves...at all even the pointy ears or some forest lovingness, I am yet to find one [/quote] Huh? [e digicons]o_O[/e] We won't have elves/dwarves etc. in the vanilla game. Elemental's world

[quote who="gapper4" reply="13" id="2646378"] There's certainly room for some innovation (like timed pauses in MP, for example) but it seems to me that this is a step backwards . The TW battle system is polished, responsive, and extremely epic. [/quote] I don't agree with you, but this is a matter of subjective opinion. It's pointless to argue about something like this. :)

No video is available at the moment. Here is the latest combat related screenie:

Some company should start to work on DK3. Seriously....DK was one of the best & most unique games in the history. [e digicons]:pout:[/e]

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="80" id="2646324"] BTW, am I the only one who noticed two of the best devs are called Toady One and Frogboy? It's a conspiracy! [/quote] Nop, you are not the only one. ;)

[quote quoting="post"]I was just wondering when we might see the full magic system in beta. A couple of the objectives of beta 2 are balance and pacing. I expect that magical research and the presence of magic in the world is going to play a HUGE, probably even central role in that. So why is the magic system being held back for so long? And during what phase of beta (if any) Can we expect to see the full magic system implemented? As much fun as I ha

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="2" id="2646286"] Quoting Tormy-, reply 1 quoting post What do you guys think? Do you have a "sim" itch? Nop. I always found the "Sim" games extremely boring. The only sim that keeps me interested is Dwarf Fortress, and its scope is quite different than your average sim. [/quote] DF isn't a typical "sim" game. ;)

[quote who="RandomEasyPlayer" reply="77" id="2646287"] Quoting Bill_Door, reply 76 There shall be Fun, in the Dwarf Fortress sense of the word. another Dwarf Fortress fan out there, they are multiplying like, well Dwarfs who get lonely mining underground. [/quote] I am also a DF fan, but I am waiting for a decent bugfixed DF version to be honest. :) Also....Toady is hella slow

[quote who="gapper4" reply="6" id="2646275"] Quoting Tormy-, reply 5 Quoting gapper4, reply 3 Thanks for the link Wintersong. I'm not a huge fan of turn- and tile-based combat due to its chess-like nature. I may be missing something, but can anyone point out the advantages over the TW model, where you can pause at any time and give orders ? As far as I understand, the tiles in Elemental are square, which would seem
