I Forgot to mention this earlier: balance. Not of the units but that of the equipment. Also a comment on unit training time. Both things have been added to the OP.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="27" id="2723329"]Some people like finding and reporting bugs and issues, others just like not worrying about it and playing the game.[/quote] Oh I don't like finding and reporting bugs unless it's a project I'm working on. But I figured since I've already invested into the game, the only logical thing to do is attempt to help it grow and mature. Hopefully the devs get a chance to read my points (as well as the responses) before the thread is burie
[quote who="Gnoupi" reply="13" id="2722950"] Not every program is multithreaded, so it's probably normal. [/quote] Please, that would have been acceptable if this game was released... 6 years ago. Today to release a game (based on a brand new engine) in a market where dual core, quad core and now, 6 core processors are the standard? That is either a massive oversight, OR, something is going wrong.
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="7" id="2722816"]What settings do you have enabled on the Elemental Video options tab? Also what resolution are you playing at?[/quote] Full screen, 1920 * 1200 resolution. Depth of field on, anti aliasing 4x. Low res shadows. Normal ground cover. advanced lighting @ 60. If it's any indication from the beta, performance doesn't increase with a resolution drop. Also, I've said this many times: from the beta, it was only using
Disclaimer : I'm writing this post as neutral as I know how. It's not a disrespect of the developers - merely a list of issues (both large and small) based on my short time with the game so far. I have ONLY played through a portion of the campaign so far - haven't even looked at the "actual" game. These are legitimate concerns / issues with the game (from my POV) - I'm not sitting up at 3:00am for the fun of it. If you don't agree with something I've said: that is your preroga
[quote who="Dariune" reply="4" id="2722771"]Its a shame because if you like a company or game, which i assume people in these forums do, then surely a little respect is in order when saying you have found a problem with the game. Not ... "This is terrible" which strikes me as a pathetic way of putting a point across. I have no doubt that the game will have bugs and some of them will be game breaking for some people. But they will get fixed. The people who experience them
[quote quoting="post"] Hi all Long time lurkey 1st time poster Im at work but i have had the email and i look forward to getting home and trying the game. I have watched everyone in the last few months praising Frog Boy and Stardock for their excellent way of doing things, their focus and their games. Praise i believe is deserved. Stardock are quite probably one of the best companies as far as passion and community based development around. <b
This issue seems to be completely reproduce-able: it happens every single time for my 3rd or 4th tactical battle that isn't auto-resolved. If it makes a difference, this is while playing the campaign.
[quote who="Cruxador" reply="11" id="2722596"]spell is not enough to implement a spell solidly and usefully in game. [/quote] They were not "bare concepts". We were asked to specify book type, shard relations, what the spell did, how much mana it used, etc.
I get the exact same thing. Performance is far from ideal. I'm getting something like 20fps while over top of a simple (level 2) city. Core Duo @ 3.0ghz - nvidia gtx 260
[quote who="kryo" reply="1" id="2722391"]There's an issue with older nVidia drivers that can cause this, and yours are from January--try updating to current.[/quote] Ok well I did as you suggested but I've just run into the issue yet again.

[quote who="Kuriostone" reply="1" id="2722331"]I'm very upset there aren't more dinosaurs. I guess they just don't care about their customers enough to put them in. Oh well...[/quote] The game isn't about dinosaurs. Nice job at making a completely nonsensical remark. 60 spells is saddening. I would have expected 20 - 30 per spell book.
During the campaign I attempted to attack a spider with the first 3 character of the campaign. I selected the "battle" option and the screen faded white EXCEPT the screen stayed white and never faded to the battle. I was forced to hit the auto-resolve button - but once I got out of the battle, the game was lagging horribly. Also, major design flaw: we can't quit the game when we're in a tactical battle?? The ESC key does nothing. Debug: http://www.youshare.com

We'll be notifying those people once the content is available.[/quote] Bwaaa. I could be playing the game already WITH bonus content waiting for me in a few days.
