Just to say, Frogboy have said, last week, that MP is ready to go. But team need a rest. So they will enable it this week. Which is obviously not the case. I still do not get it. Why they are changing MP experience, from SP. Would not it be better, to release it with same things as SP has, to make sure it is working and then continue from there? Instead of changing rules even before people get the chance to decide what they want? There is enough limitations already.

I would vote for Fall From Heaven 2, especialy its mod mod, Wild Mana.

I would like to point out, that using hardware mouse cursor does increase FPS quiete lot, when is cursor moving. This is definitely bug. When I have it ON, my FPS stays same(100) , but if I turn it OFF and moving my cursor all the time, FPS are going down to 15 !! Another thing, if I move my cursor fast between two object(there and back all the time), which pop up info cards at the right bottom, FPS are going down by arround 10

Can not wait for day 0. Thank you very much for your hard work, and good luck in the future. BIG thank you, for tactical battles in MP as option !! Now, being able to see setting of the game in the lobby would be instant win !!

I would like to point out one thing. If we had a proper MP beta, this disscusion would most probably never happened. But they did not test MP at all, other then, "can we connect" phase, and at the end they have decided to please people who like to play fast and simple. I mean common, this is 4x game. Everyone who decides to play any 4x game does not expect to finish game in 20 minutes. And I am sure that people who play those types of games, play them for their complexity and r

You must be joking right? Why the hell you have removed tactical battles from the multiplayer? I hope, this is the case only for your official servers. But I do not really like, how you force people to play the game, the way you want. I have absolutely different opinion then yours. And I do not mind waiting for tacticals battles to end in MP. As I enjoy playing with my friends. I have never had such an issue in HOMM and tactical battles took quiete long time there, or in Age of Wonders. If it

If it really ended up that way, I am not sure. There is not any definitive info on MP at all. But it was not long time ago, like month, maybe two max. And because there was no other info then that, I take it as the most actual one. I assume random maps are generated then handed out to

[quote who="kryo" reply="255" id="2715002"] They decided to make a multi-player service that is reliable, can keep cheaters/hackers, and coincidentally pirates away. They still plan to release custom servers of some sort, so let's see how that pans out. The main thing is really from a support/quality of service point of view. If it's client-server, then 1) you don't have to worry about people opening ports (as most people find that sort of thing confusing and cumbersome at bes

I really like how beta started, and continued, but not how it ended. It was great, that stardock took so many ideas from players, and later on implemented them into the game. However there were some great ones, which were left behind. Overall, this building part of the beta was great success (I think). What I did not like, that beta ended before game was even complete, and all the balancing issues and polish is being done by stardock only. Other then that. I was really impressed

The game is good, but everything can be better :-). Nothing hold you from waiting till release, and then get an insight on a game frome reviews and forums. I am sure, there are going to be different opinions here, and everyone has a different taste. Also, noobody saw a finished product yet, so it is really hard to say. And if you want to know, how is the beta, there are videos on youtube, so check them out, and you will see :-)

Nevermind...

I do not really like the fact, that you want to limit multiplayer, instead of giving players choices to ban some artefacts or spells etc... I am looking forward mainly to multiplayer, and I was expecting mods to take care of balance, but I do not want to play dumbed down version of elemental. Just because of the reason you wrote. If you can not do it properly, leave it to players, but do not screw it please. And for +3 sword, what is the difference, if AI get it and own

Congratulations [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

It looks very good, great that campaign is going to be different from sandbox mode. I hate building my empire again and again in campaign. One thing, as always from me :-). I do not really like shadows, which are round and only under big trees and characters, what about ohter stuff, trees and building? It would be a nice touch :-P

I really like this new screenshots... lighting is much much more nicer, and is giving nice depth to the terrain. Also, Empire tree is much more advanced, and I like the bottom bar. Very nice work, however what font face means? Is it new rendering syste, for fonts, which you were talking about? Please, make animation of individuals asynchronous, it was always looking stopid, when all the same units moved at the same time, with exactly same animation [e digicons]:blush:

I am not bitching, I do not take it as bitching. It might be, that my english is not as good as others so I can not express myself in polite manner. But as I said, there is always room for improvement and you should take it positively and not negatively. It should be something what can drive you further to improve your game more and more. That is what you have been doing until now, and its something what you are going to do for another few years. So why so serious?

I do not understand, why you take criticism so personaly frog. I mean, there is always room to improve your game, and there will always be. If someone or me, post something what they dont like, or point out some problems, it does not mean, that the game is bad or that they attack you. If you do not want to admit, that they are things which you could or can do better, then it is shame on you. Because, there is always room for improvement! I dont see any flaming at all, so there i

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="4" id="2706014"]I don't think these videos are running the "finalized" UI. A bunch of stuff Frogboy posted about it in the "last day in CA" journal isn't actually in the video, so I assume it was taken before the stuff was ready. At least, that's what I'm hoping. If this is the final, then I agree it's pretty underwhelming.[/quote] I hope you are right, but there are actually changes on the UI, if you have watched all the videos, so its not

I have checked all the videos, there is acutally alot of them, which si great... but sadly, I have to say, that UI is still very limited, and rough. It is just too small and too clicky. I do not like idea, that I own large screen to have more space on the screen and be forced to 1024x768 UI screen. Also, it seems, like you do not really think about expanding it. If people come with more races, backgrounds etc... its going to be horrible to choose them, because of clicking on one little smalli

I agree, its just too blurry, thing is, that I like look of the things more, with advanced lighting.... but slider does not work, at least, I can not spot difference now, between 100% and 0%... which is strange... However, this two screenshots are not very good comparsion. Advanced lighting makes things look nicer, but its just too blury now :-(.

I like advanced lighting, but on much lower levels then its default (75% I think)... I usualy set it arround 20%, higher then that, and everythings gets too much blurry. Also in game options its called Softness(Advanced Lighting), which is about right I would say. Also, what is Ambient Light and Specular Intensity good for? I was trying to change it and did not notice any difference, same for Max Texture Atlas Size.. Also I have no idea what is Mi

[quote who="Wylaryzel" reply="7" id="2699122"]And again as said several times already If you are not happy with the August release - wait till next year. Improvements/Mods will come and maybe than its the right game for you. But I don't want that because a view are unhappy that others have to wait. The decision is up to Stardock. If they are happy with what they have achieved and think it's ok to release, they will release the game In the end, it's their Business decision[/
