Well I am just glad it doesn't include Russian. I am kind of banking on translation as a career. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Don't be ridiculous. Spears are heavy and we are already paying our heroes and soldiers next to nothing. Now you want them to carry a shield too? But seriously, it would take very little modding to make a polearm weapon class. The real question is how it would interact with the current weapon environment.

This just in... Stardock games are kicking ass on steam. They seem to be at the top of the top sellers list and there is no sign of it going down until millions of copies are sold! Maybe this is a good enough incentive to get the old website Library up and running? I am almost considering digging out my modded files from the game directory and trying to put them into a sharable package. [e digicons]:star:[/e]

Banned for summarizing.

But KOTOR is largely heralded as one of the best RPGs ever made. So how is it a risk to make that game only larger and with several thousand people? Maybe I am simplifying it too much... no wait, they are. [e digicons]:thumbsdown:[/e]

I was hoping the beta would be out by now so I don't have to buy those games. Except Old Republic. Hey guys, remember that awesome game KOTOR? Well we have used it to make yet another MMO that ignores the basics of the FPS genre and yet uses it as the foundation for our game! There will be some token dialogue and characters in the quests, but it all ends up being an xp grind so most of you won't even read them past get 5 bantha skins and return.&nb

It might come out this month. But as I look at the calendar I see that we are nearing the check out phase of the holidays. Maybe January then. [e digicons]-_-[/e]

JK, I would still play, but the game has some flaws that weren't fixed in any updates. If you don't mind some of the bugs and a crash or two. I wouldn't mind testing it out some more.

I can see you.

Oh I see it now. Thanks!

Ya, that is probably the biggest flaw in the setup screen. You can't change the turn timer at all that I could see. Anyways, I am doing some work on the computer today so I am ready to play any time today. Nice to see another early poster. [e digicons]B)[/e]

There is always hope that the devs will cull some good ideas from the wishlists to use in the expansion to FE. There must be a dozen ideas I plan to partially use in my planned mods. So don't give up hope, it's just that most of us already created our lists.

They need to make the glass interface have a changeable display. A great piece of tech, but it is stuck on using an outdated concept, the keyboard and mouse. It does have the potential to get us closer to the future I have been dreaming of. Star Trek is not that far off afterall.

Yes of course I agree. I was only pointing out the fact that our first beta will have a pretty good AI, which is odd for a first beta. Beyond what the devs have said about the beta also being about proving that the game will be good, there is alot of evidence that this particular beta is directed towards that goal.

Well if the Catholics can change his skin color... Banned! [e digicons]8C[/e]

Yeah, I am still amazed that Elemental has come so far from the ashes of its release. One of the biggest reasons for the lack of development time was that the engine had so many birthing problems. Elemental was a backbirth. [e digicons]:bebi:[/e] They had to spend alot of dev time working with the new engine and trying to figure out what it could and couldn't do. Then on release day they found out that the majority of newer gaming rigs were not even slightly

Actually I need to know how much sowing will need to be done. I could do a troll transmogrification spell and turn every body part into a forum user, but they would all be trolls and who can find so much troll blood on short notice? Have we taken this too far yet?

Actually, she had that look on her face like she didn't know video games were also played on a PC. Bet she is a COD4MW3 junkie. [e digicons]:hugme:[/e]

I have been saving mana so that I can cast mass resurrection before the beta opens. That should help. Does anyone know if the bodies were mutilated or buried on unholy ground?

As far as gameplay goes I realized a few things. 1. There are 2 + n players. AI counts as one and beasties are anonther plus any human. 2. Each player gets ten seconds before the turn seems to end or you can manually click end turn. You should probably use the autoturn feature in the options menu so that moving all your units will also end the turn. 2.5. You can still use your move points during other people's turns I think. But it really helps the flow. I wa

Yes but FE has alot to prove. The beta needs to show that the game has potential and will be able to live up to it. This is kind of a special circumstance as far as betas go. The devs realize this. That is why this first beta has work put into AI, map generation and general polish that would not otherwise be necessary for a first beta release.
