[quote who="Frogboy" reply="294" id="2766561"]I will say that those people who choose to assert that we are "liars" or worse are not welcome in this community. There are plenty of web forums that welcome vile, nasty people. But this is not one of them.[/quote] I think the problem is that some of your statements have been contradicting others, while others is a matter of opinion, that is hard to relate to. My own gripe is that you praise Elemental as one of the b

I battled a couple of trolls, with human names at the end of the master quest... they could represent someone else, but a troll named Jeff is hardly a coincidence.

AFAIK Kingdom starts with Teleport, while Empire has to research their equivalent to it.

phazonfreak: You might want to add some of the answers found in this thread I started. I will link you from the topic. :) Good work.

Names should be put together by syllables, with some syllables being more likely as ending, than others. That said, I just had the last Master Quest-battle against a bunch of trolls and demons named Jeff, Paula and the likes. Probably either lazyness or an easter egg of some sort :P

I'm having trouble with the quests that are appearing. My character is level 4 or 5, but every place seem to have a different view of what level I am. A level 3 quest says I am level 1 and a level 2 quest lists me as level 2. Bug or am I missing something?

[quote who="elmo3" reply="8" id="2723317"]Somehow I got the game into top down mode and now I can't get it out. Anyone know how to do that? Edit - You can quit the game to get out of top down mode but I'd like to know if there is any other way.[/quote] Top down? Is that the cloth map? I just use the scroll wheel on my mouse, I guess.

[quote who="PeeKay777" reply="9" id="2722984"]Out of interest, is there a downloadable manual? It would be nice to read it before i get home and install the game[/quote] There is one in the directory, but it is lacking, IMO. I'm not sure if it is the same one that comes in the box, but if not, I would like a pdf of that as well.

Allright, I think I'm beginning to grasp most of Elemental, but there is still some things I can't figure out, and I need to know whether it is because I am missing something, or because the game is bugged. Therefore, I am creating this thread to allow people to ask questions about ingame things. I'm starting out with these issues: - Summoning. When I try to cast "Summon familiar" nothing happens. I have the correct amount mana - am I doing something wrong?

But the game does have issues, and even though not everyone has the Shakespearean skills to administer their critique in a sensible way, it is still valid in most cases.

IMO there should be a forum (or alternately another way) to report bugs.

It would be awesome with an "not for the next couple of hours"-update, so I can resume eating and sleeping.

I was hoping they took a path like in Master of Magic, and made every spell school something special and unique, thus limiting how many schools a player can have access too... my fingers are still crossed!

I bit the sour apple, and ordered the limited edition box through Stardock, and I do agree it was quite costly getting it shipped to Denmark. :/

[quote who="SteelFin" reply="65" id="2720694"] Quoting Khardis, reply 62Wondering if Frogboy meant MONDAY by tomorrow (the post time was just before midnight..... especially considering Kryo's last post. *gnurf* He did say Sunday though.[/quote] Yeah, and he wrote it around midnight in Europe, not midnight Plymouth. :D

[quote who="glucero0" reply="1" id="2720699"]You should get an e-mail. That's how the Beta worked but since the Beta is over we should all get a new e-mail with a new serial number. I think.[/quote] I dont think so. Beta players already have the game activated, their serials should just be reactivated within Impulse, and we should be good to go.

[quote who="Das123" reply="49" id="2720578"]Percentage bonuses should only apply to the base resource, not compounded through multiplication. If you multiply then you are applying a bonus to the bonus which isn't right. Referring to a salary isn't a good analogy because when you get a bonus one year the base resource (your wage) is changed and the next year the new figure is the base resource (compounding). In this case we are talking about base resources that don't change over tim

[quote who="Tridus" reply="19" id="2720556"] Sufficied to say there's no adding going on there and the UI saying +25% isn't telling you what it's actually doing.[/quote] I disagree. You are adding a percentage of a total, and that makes the total change all the time. If you didn't, working with percentages and low numbers like this, would make no sense. To me, the +25% is acting exactly how I would be expecting it to; it is increasing the previous total by 25

[quote who="OliverFA" reply="29" id="2720507"]Despite I almost never write in the forums, I am a big Stardock fan since GalCiv2. And if I am not worried is because of the GalCiv2 experience. I think it's safe to assume that Elemental will grow and improbe like GalCiv2. So even if the reviewer is right, I am confident that patches (I mean, early patches. No patches that will take months to be developed) will solve it soon. Stardock is not like Ubi, that took 2 years to make HOMMV pl

[quote who="IBNobody" reply="12" id="2719884"] I preordered in February and played every beta that preordering gave me access to. Yet, I doubt I'll get to play tomorrow.[/quote] Weeeell, basically, you are at least a preorderer, which means that you will play it midday tomorrow. I do think you count as a beta tester though, as this is an open beta forum, and thus it would be misleading to announce that the other betatesters would get it early... And basically, thes

I have abandoned all hope at the door... that way, when they release it, I will be pleasantly surprised!

Please send this in an inconspicuous parcel marked as a gift, so it will slip unnoticed through customs here in Denmark! [e digicons]:typo:[/e]

I preordered it a while ago, so that should mean I should have it around yesterday. :D

[quote who="Moderatus" reply="7" id="2713862"] Steam understands differences between regions better than Impulse. Of course big companies keep AAA prices on the same level, but games from Valve have prices comparable with other games in Poland. That's the reason I have 30 games on Steam, and only 2 on Impulse. (They have other downsides though.) Still, that's my opinion, voice of one customer. I don't know how many people think alike and made their choices similiar to mine.[/quote]

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="1" id="2711399"]You will be able to update directly, but unless you're on a really bad connection it's always beneficial to just do a clean install to get rid of any garbage/unused files that might end up causing issues.[/quote] Are you absolutely sure? The full game will be no where close to the beta - the version the developers have been working on is entirely different, so I doubt if they are going to make a patch.
