Thanks for the info Zozz. My bandwidth is pretty decent so maybe I'll give it a shot later today. If so I'll let everyone know here. I may need to try it out first to make sure it doesn't come out too bad (quality).
[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="55" id="3060598"] Yep, it's nice to see that RavenX is still there [/quote] Appreciate that brother :) .Yep, still alive and kicking, for now anyway. The docs haven't killed me....yet...lol.
[quote who="Tormodino" reply="4" id="3060289"]My life hero summon was named Jesus and was so strong that he could probably have soloed every single character and monster on the entire map in one single battle. It was very non-New Testament, but awesome to imagine him as a crusading battle-god floating over the battlefield, while laying waste to huge armies and cities. He had everything. Good times, but horrible AI and broken abilities. It's still the best, but in the long run I
Is it something I would need to dig out my mic and web-cam to do?
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="52" id="3060256"]I'd suggest a MUCH more temperate response to Jafo. He really wasn't being mean to you... and I didn't read that as an accusation. Don't take it as one, ok? Please edit... *edit: Too late.[/quote] Bah, abusing Jafo is one of my favorite past times :P lol j/k
When I remember back on my MoM memories I think about the work it took to get my heroes up to that OP level where they could solo everything on the map. There were literally spells that made weapons and items make your character untouchable. This was part of MoM's charm honestly. Heroes should be OP at a certain level....eventually. I think what it boils down to with FE's heroes is they get a little too OP too fast. Then again I haven't played on the hardest level eit
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="3" id="3060155"] in FE due to the locked camera angle [/quote] There's a togle in the options for that bro. It's the "snap back" one. Un-check it and you have your free cam back, you just can't zoom in quite as far as before. I'm sure that's easily changeable in XML though. Still, not having tried to change it yet I wonder if when I do and I zoom in closer are my wandering peasants still there in my cities?
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="16" id="3060147"]Yes, that is true, RavenX. But you are forgetting that there are also many, many traits that give you spells. These are very important. I see only three or four melee abilities, but there are I think more than a hundred spells. Certainly we can go on and on about how spell gameplay differs from melee. That isn't really the point. The point that is important, in my opinion, is their relative strength in game. And currently, melee i
On. Now add a link/button to the tile editor and let us design our own buildings for our factions please :) . Also, I notice on the world map I can't zoom in so close as to see my peasants anymore. I miss that. Seeing people walk the streets of my cities was nice.
[quote who="Sanati" reply="13" id="3060064"]Spell damage isn't listed on the stats page for whatever reason. There are however many talents/perks that add +25-50% spell damage, and some equipment that does as well. There's not really any difference between melee and spell damage, for melee damage you pick +strength talents and gear, for spell damage you pick +spell damage talents and gear. The fact that it's not int talents doesn't really change the fact that you ca
[quote who="starkers" reply="17" id="3059062"]I was speaking with my sister about this MegaUpload thing and she's quite pissed because it was the site her scrapbooking group used to store and share their brushes, filters and other elements. She reckons about 15 gigs of her own work is suddenly gone from the net, no longer for others to share until another suitable venue is found. Fortunately, she has backups of it all, but that's not the point. Her entire group has b

I also have super anti sypware running it's spam shield thing. I did have iTunes running at one point.

I checked all the stats listed and none of them increase spell damage according to their tool-tips. Of course, it also doesn't say any of them directly affect mêlée damage either, but lots of other things like abilities do. It may be that the problem we're seeing right now is that there's lots of things that boost over-all mundane damage or add damage types, but not much of anything aside from shards and the occasional magic item that directly
Just out of curiosity what programs do you guys have running in the background? It's true E:WoM did have some memory issues, but for me I only hit them when playing on insanely huge custom made maps ( I also have 6 gigs of RAM). With as often as it's happening to you guys it's making me think there might be a conflict with something else you may have running. Have you tried turning off any active virus blockers and such that eat into your active memory? Norton as well a
The FE Beta is incredibly stable over-all. I have had 3 CTD's though and all of them have been when I hit "Save" after I designed a unit. After it happened the first time I've made a not to save the game right before I try to design a new unit. It reloads and works just fine so it's not corrupting the save game, but I do have to re-design the unit and save the design again. Not sure if it's creating a crash dump file or anything but if it is and you want it or the save
New 8 Bit intro should be a pixel for pixel remake of MoMs only with Scott's face on the face of the attacking Wizard and Brad's face for the guy in the Wizard Tower. I think I'd pee myself laughing. For those who aren't old enough to remember the MoM intro, here you go :) . [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMNk-YlpuBo[/video] Just imagine Boogie and the Chief in this...LoL.
[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="6" id="3059670"]Panstasd: Game\Data\English\ElementalDefs.xml --> 1 Some screens are missing, but the core functionality should still be there. Have fun![/quote] I thought modding was out for this build? Or will we have to change it every time it updates? I like that's able to be enabled :). This is great news.
Indeed the praise is well deserved. FE is turning out GREAT. As a Veteran of WoM though I do have a few small complaints I hope will be addressed before the release build. Here are my suggestions. 1. Put the Dynasty System BACK IN, please. The Dynasty System was one of the best things about WoM. It made WoM stand out and it's absence is definitely missed by many I think in FE. It could use a few tweaks from it's iteration in WoM. It shouldn't be used as a General Fac
[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="9" id="3059388"]i've been keen on this game since it was first announced. my biggest concern is the combat. how well does it translate to mouse/keyboard? [/quote] I think the default keyboard layout leaves a little to be desired. Luckily you can bind the keys whichever way you want or even plug in a compatible controller.
[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="79" id="3059230"]Quoting RavenX, reply 78What? Seriously? Man....I should have stayed active more and known stuff like this. That's pretty damn crappy imo. That was one of the best things about Elemental. I hope that's reconsidered. If not, maybe we can mod it back in. (I hope) Some unknown portion of us middle-aged and old-guard folks are still hoping that the first FE expansion will bring back the dynasty mechanics in some form or another. I
Intel should DEFINITELY boost magic damage....just saying.
[quote who="StoweMobile" reply="3" id="3059227"]Ya, I believe the custom sovereigns all start with "base stats" and then their stats change based on the traits you pick.[/quote] Which I guess in its-self isn't a bad thing. It's an interesting design choice and I can see why they did it. It makes it easier to balance.
I'm thinking putting points into individual stats has been axed. I noticed when I made my first Sov I had two points left over and couldn't figure out how to spend them on stats.

I thought it was very decent. I just played through it today. The only thing that bugs me a bit about it is How Much everything looks like WoW. Honestly, I expected more from Todd Mcfarlane. Seriously, graphically the game could be a WoW clone. Weapons, armor, textures, you name it and you've seen it in WoW. The few graphical errors that show up aren't that bothersome, but, it's disturbing because on a game that looks almost exactly like another game it should run as smooth
