[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="22" id="3067764"]Mortenart, I don't want you to think that I am in any way picking on you. I want you to continue to post what you don't like about the game, what you think could be fixed, etc. But the attitude of entitlement gets in the way of healthy discussion. Please continue to post what you like and dislike, but please leave those kind of entitled statement out of it. [/quote] I will continue to do so. It was in response

[quote who="Mmrnmhrm" reply="21" id="3067749"]What rights do you think you have? You paid money for a product. You have product. You didn't like product. It's too bad you don't like this product either. You don't seem very interested in solving the things you don't like, such as adjusting the video settings to your liking. More to the point, this is a walkthru discussion. People are reading this so that they can see how the game is played. If you want to complain, mak

[quote who="Sarudak" reply="17" id="3067739"]I really think that this is just not the game for you. Also your general negativity is and harshness as you call it is in no way going to help the development of FE. If anything you'll only be discouraging those people that are working on it. And discouraged people are not effective workers. If you have criticisms they need to be accompanied by REASONABLE and SPECIFIC suggestions. Otherwise you are wasting everyone's time. I'm seeing th

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="15" id="3067730"]You have no rights to that.[/quote] No right to an opinion? I appreciate all the work that has been done on FE, that's why I'm disappointed. We all have the right to an opinion.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="15" id="3067730"] But, one, I don't think you paid a dime for this game, and two, if you did, it still doesn't give you these magical right that you seem to think you have. We can have disagreements without becoming insulting or entitled. [/quote] I paid for WoM, which was and still is broken. And please show me where I have been insulting. You are insulting me by saying so.

[quote who="Murteas" reply="10" id="3067617"]yes, there are issues that need to be taken care of, but they are polish issues, perfectly appropriate for a beta.[/quote] The cursor in tactical battles was a polish issue in August 2010 - it is still a polish issue in January 2012.

[quote who="CariElf" reply="11" id="3067661"] Let's let newcomers come here and ask questions without bombarding them with personal dislikes okay?[/quote] It's just my personal opinion, which as a paying customer for a product that was not as 'advertised', I am quite within my rights to do. FE has not been hyped, which is good - but I was expecting a little more for a game that is 76% complete. For something which has been a work in prog

[quote who="Lantros" reply="8" id="3067293"]The rotate map thing is broken - it spins when you hold down the middle button, but then snaps back to default. I like that. But you can switch this ON or OFF in the options...[/quote] Ah ok, thanks! :)

From other people's comments and my own preconceptions, I was expecting more from FE. It still feels like WoM, with bells on. 18 months after the first release, there are still issues with the same things: The cursor remains annoying in battles, with that red circle still there, and the crossed swords icon remaining after an attacking action. I mean, this is basic polish that should have been sorted in September 2010. The Quests are still often baffl

I've just downloaded FE, and my anti-virus programme is saying 'Fallen Enchantress-0.75_beta_setup.exe is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer'... Why is it doing this? edit: Ah, because not many people have downloaded it yet, so it's flagged as suspicious..

[quote who="ins2" reply="82" id="3061645"] PLEASE PLEASE introduce equipment, weapons and armor crafting / enchanting with the ability to NAME the items created!!! I know it was a small part of the MoM experience, but it made the game soooo much more interesting and exciting! I know it may be too late in the development, but even in an expansion I would LOVE the ability (in-game) to forge my own sword, select its magical qualities (from those that I have learned), select its icon and gra

[quote who="jmccrea" reply="75" id="3061457"]I would like a slow feature for Tactical combat, because the enemies and my chars go thru their animations so fast, I cant catch everything. Yes, I know that sounds silly, but for me I like to see combat a bit slower, in that regard.[/quote] I've only seen this through the videos, but I'm in agreement here. Please add a scaling option for tactical combat animation speed. Oh and bring back Dynasties, you

[quote who="Kravick3" reply="15" id="3043217"]Quoting Aeon221, reply 14I mean sure this game is free and all, but maybe you guys should cast Summon Standards or possibly research Modern Gaming. Modern gaming is terrible. Its what gave us Call of Duty 8. I would very much like it if developers would STOP dumbing games down. The RPG genre is an absolute mess as it is. Taking away stats just turns games into a FPS clone but with swords,

You've spelt encumbrance wrong - might be a good idea to correct it before release... ;)

Excellent stuff, thanks for posting! Just one thing that would kill all sense of realism: the squareness as seen in the mini-map, in the final pic. Pleeease, do something to break this up a bit. I guess this is a tiny map, but any hint of regularity really knocks you out of the immersion in a wild and mysterious world.

[quote who="leeboy26" reply="48" id="3015400"] Quoting Mortenart, reply 41 I second this.. There need to be more penalties for the best weapons and armour, or everyone will be using them. I know that Stardock have gone some way to remedying this, and I will wait for the Beta before I make any further judgement. Having penalties for armour other than initiative might go some way to remedy this, maybe- Chain/plate a

[quote who="Alstein" reply="34" id="3014882"]Well, I'd like to see platemail lower spellcasting ability personally, and have some magic armor that doesn't but requires different resources (crystals) to make, but that's probably beyond the scope and too late to include. The magic armor shouldn't all be fluffy robes though. [/quote] I second this.. There need to be more penalties for the best weapons and armour,

Great stuff, but the grammar needs a bit of work.. Are you sure that an author wrote this...?

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="32" id="3008577"]Also, after seeing the screenshots of the new rivers, I am now completely in favor of a hex based map instead of the square, the strange bends and curves in the river look so silly to me.[/quote] Yes, it should have been hex-based from the very start - it's the only way to go.

[quote who="maniakos" reply="75" id="3006116"]If you want to talk about the design of tactical battles, that's Derek's thing. I can say, IMO, that I am not keen on tactical battles being the deciding factor in whether someone wins or loses a given game. If a tactical battle with say 8 units takes more than 5 minutes then that's very very bad.[/quote] This is generalising hugely. Battles with bandits and wolf packs, sure - you don't want these skirmishes to last f

Please stop mana from going into the negative. I'm not sure what was draining it, but now I'm stuck with -700 mana, with no hope of casting another spell in the rest of the game - there are very few shards on the map. Also, please add a strength requirement for the heavier armour and weapons - all my heroes are now identical tanks. Game is crashing now - the quill pointer changes to a Windows arrow, and the game freezes..

Firstly, I have to say that it's a very long time since WoM kept me up untul 4.30 am. And secondly what a commendable job has been done, to bring the game almost up to speed. Many things have been fixed and tweaked, and more than being playable, it's fun! And not a single crash, touch wood.. Some great work on the AI, I have to say - both strategic and tactical. At last, the AI has cottoned on to actually casting </strong

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="54" id="2998493"]These have pretty much been confirmed in the following links. https://forums.elementalgame.com/409834 - Dev Journal on Armies https://forums.elementalgame.com/407109 - Dev Journal on Weapons If you look at the actual spreadsheet on the Weapons page it shows speed penalties for heavy weapons. The encumber system also allows stronger units to use heavier or more gear. While weak ones have to pick and choose.[/quote]<

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="39" id="2997972"] Reduced 61% Original 927 x 695 Work in progress. [/quote] I hope that heavy armour and shields will significantly lower Initiative, and require a certain Strength to use - in WoM, there were no penalties for using the best, heaviest armour - so if you had enough gold, all your champions (be they Level 1 or 5) would just get kitted out in the best stuff available - which made no sense at all, and p

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="41" id="2997981"]They have magic knowledge but still must be imbued by a Channeler. Looks to me like the text needs to be tweaked to make that distinction clear.[/quote] You also need a few more commas in there, to make it scan properly...
