[quote who="InquisitorFelix" reply="17" id="2722613"]Anyone else still waiting for elemental to show up in their impulse lists? I think it's been nearly four hours since the DL's started (not entirely sure) and I know they said up to 5 hours....just curious to know who else is waiting so I know when I should start mailing off about it >.>[/quote]I haven't got it yet, but I wouldn't be playing it this evening anyway, at this point. If I haven't received it by the time I'm done with work

There's no tutorial stuff beyond what's in the campaign, and the videos that were posted.

You can drag with one of the mouse buttons or use WASD, if I recall correctly.

So, it sounds to me that we basically just need a bunch more seeds. That's probably something players can help with.

[quote who="endofdayz" reply="9" id="2722574"] Quoting Aliandrix, reply 8Please don't take this the wrong way. You should give them some ideas on the spells you would like to see in the game instead of just stating there aren't enough. Im pretty sure there was a thread during beta with several hundred. They just got lazy and needed to push it out the door.[/quote]A bare concept of a spell is not enough to implement a spell solidly and usefully in g

Build a farm on fertile ground. The campaign includes tutorial stuff.

[quote who="arstal" reply="12" id="2722526"] Why would the 64-bit version be invisible to those that can use it? [/quote]Because it'll be implemented without any need for user input, presumably.

[quote who="StoweMobile" reply="8" id="2722404"]nah, I mean I've been closing the whole program out, and starting it up again. This is quite strange. Starting from impulse or from the directory has no change either.[/quote]Of course it doesn't. Start a new game, and then you can see the changes.

[quote who="kryo" reply="33" id="2722371"]It seems that the orders are going by type, then date. We're starting in on boxed orders now, back to the oldest (download-only orders should all be processed now).[/quote] I'm a download-only preorder. I've got nothing.

If they played favorites like that, it would just slow everything down for everyone.

Well, right now I'd just wait if I were you, because if you did successfully preorder it, you'll get an email saying you can play it, and it'll appear in your "My Games" in impulse. If neither of those happen within the next fivish hours, chances are you did not successfully preorder it.

I haven't found one I didn't enjoy yet, flaws or not. Well, that's not surprising, considering the fact that the first game since GalCiv 2 that stardock has developed was... Elemental.Even

[quote who="laminblake" reply="1" id="2722126"]My God, Stardock has broken all logic, im downloading at 450kbs, 100kbs higher than my maximum download speed.[/quote]You might find a little surprise in your mailbox from your ISP, then.

I actually agree, it would be better if Frogboy'd been more ambiguous in his statements - instead of saying "you'll get it at __" say it might be available then, and that's when he was shooting for. But it's not like we don't know what sort of issues were going on, and we really can't blame him for a late early release. After all, we're still getting access before the game is actually out.

I also am not seeing it. I preordered very recently, perhaps half an hour ago. EDIT:[quote who="condar28" reply="146" id="2722135"]Wow... just heard from Frogboy it could take as long as 5 HOURS for all pre-orders to be processed... so anyone who ordered late, might want to go to bed :/[/quote] Oh. Well, I'd be up for a few more hours anyway, perhaps something will happen. If not, I'll set it downloading installing while I work tomorrow.

I share this sentiment, though I feel that I should point out that in fact "release" is Tuesday. As such, we don't really know what he'll do in the hour leading up to release.

[quote who="kryo" reply="5" id="2722029"]Any orders placed before we start running the charge queue once the build goes live should get it tonight.[/quote]Really? Well, I'm going to order it right now then.

There's already a couple threads about this, I'd recommend finding one of them for a full story. Short answer, it's because the beta keys are disabled. You should be able to get it when it's ready (non-beta) which may be tonight. Edit: I'm slow. Oh well.

"restarting my game" is not the same thing as "start a new game". If you're loading a saved file, it wouldn't work.

I'm pretty sure most good games can work as epic story generators.

I think the answer to that would be "not very easy". Unless it's something that they specifically allowed for, and I'd think we'd have heard about it if that were the case.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="21" id="2721837"]You guys don't want to know what we gave up (financially) to be able to give out the bonus quests to all users after 90 days.[/quote] Hey, you gotta stick to your guns. Even in the face of large amounts of money. And you know we love you for it.

Wow. When I saw the threads about Best Buy's exclusive stuff, I figured I'd been putting Stardock up on a pedestal as a paragon of virtue in the industry, and you were succumbing to more exploitative business philosophy. I'm glad I was too quick in doubting you guys.
