You are all ignoring the fact that even if it had awesome MP, the number of people who purchase the game that will really use the MP system is a very low % of the user base. Simple fact, most people never play these type of games in MP. Doesn't mean it isn't fun, or that Stardock shouldn't add it in, it just means you have to factor that in your decision on what to work on. Purple Paladin, no need to attack people by calling them game loner

[quote] After a few loads, [/quote] Wait, so you are loading a few times within your game? Isn't that one of the known issues that Frogboy mentioned would be problematic? Loading a game within a game (i.e. reloading after you fail a combat or something).

[quote who="Kestral2040" reply="11" id="3059739"]a couple notes, the game is actually always in windowed mode, if you change your resolution it will be smaller and in a window, not stretched full screen at lower res some of these are bugs (the overlap, the string not found, range info on spell tooltips) and others I will pass along. edit: is anyone else getting string not found errors on that screen? I see the text there f

[quote who="Bellack" reply="69" id="3059656"] I don't get you people. It does not take any more time than playing single player. What 4X MP games have you been playing that takes for ever to play? My average 4x SP game takes about 2 weeks of time to finish (I only play on the largest map with max Enemies selected.) With Simultaneous (which any good MP TBS game should have) it takes the same about of time (Sometimes it is even quicker.) Having a timer is nice wh

Same with me, I've crashed right after saving/during saving. Sent in my crash log and debug.err file. I would recommend starting a new game, most likely your save is corrupted. I should mention that was only 1 crash for me in several hours of playing. Most of the time it was smooth sailing, well except for the monsters that killed me and my champion, but that is another story. [e digicons]:blush:[/e]

Make sure you attach your debug.err file (see the reporting FE Bugs topic for details).

I really fail to see the "I didn't get what was promised" argument. You may not have liked the MP in EWoM, but it was there. So you were never lied to. FE was never sold to you as guaranteed to have MP, in fact as has been pointed out, Frogboy announced that MP was in jeopardy months ago and most of the people responded that they wanted him to focus on SP over MP. I would love to play with other people, but even if FE has MP I will never play it:

I think I am a little sick... maybe need to take tomorrow afternoon and Friday off from work ::cough:: ::cough:: [e digicons]:sick:[/e]

[quote who="Gandhialf" reply="3" id="3056975"]So no discounts or free games for me then. I never owned WoM. edit: Thank you very much Alstein for comprehensive answer. Correct me if I'm wrong: I will have possibility to activate, continuously patch, and play FE on two PCs (edit: without active internet connection, except for patching, which can be done manually). (If Stardock keeps their old DRM policy.) It would be great, since I will be possibly buying a n

[quote who="jpmcconnell" reply="33" id="3055110"]One small suggestion on the character display screen. Some sort of logical grouping for the traits would be very helpful. Right now it looks like there displayed to the side of the picture in a somewhat random order (I'm guessing its either the order they were acquired in or alphabetical). It would be great if they were organized in a more structured way. For instance, since magical skills are probably most importa

[quote who="Avant2oo7" reply="40" id="3054140"]I'm sadly not as happy with SW:TOR. I found the game to be alright.. storyline for me.. when forced upon you rather than discovered is not something I am overly fond of. I don't enjoy movies much.. unless they're *really* good. SW:TOR has an OK story for the most part.. the story for the individual classes is good enough. BUT I found myself getting extremely bored of the "filler" planet quests.. the quests meant nothing at all an

Sanati, I think in this case preorder= prepurchase. I don't think there was any way to get the WoM beta without paying for the full game. But, I do agree that we should get the beta a week early. :)

Yes, Yes, and Yes.

Same as Tridus & HeavenFall, Impulse was my main digital download service, but I haven't bought anything there in months. I won't uninstall as I have some games there I want to still use, but Steam and others are my main service now.

Another vote for this feature.

It's looking great. It is a little disconcerting, that your storytelling style matches how I play games almost exactly. [e digicons]o_O[/e] I tend to like to have a running story going on in my head as I play. I really like the fact that we can play against heroes/factions we have previously created. Looking forward to trying it out soon.

athelasloraiel, check out the other threads. This one is old and probably doesn't do the game justice in terms of what is really there now. Of course, we'll have a better idea once the beta is out.

Elemental : Fall from Enchantress :) For me I have been following it so closely that the name is really irrelevant. However for the broader audience, I like Elemental: Fallen Enchantress. I don't think it will put off other people as much as you might think. Elemental 2:Fallen Enchantress would be okay as well, but I think it is unecessary. Actually, I would even vote for Fallen Enchantress: A 4x game

Didn't we get a timeframe for the beta already? IIRC, Jan. 18 last I looked from Frogboy's update thread around Christmas time.

But don't champions make the whole RP experience? Yeah, armies are a big deal, but it is all about the various heroes that make the experience fun. Hopefully the champions are few enough that they can't be everywhere at once. However if you are facing one, you'd better bring your best troops. I don't know, I kinda like the powerful champion idea. Granted, I'm sure they will need to be tweaked a bit to get the ju

I can join on the server. I'd like to be part of the guild. What type of character do we still need?

I love this stuff!!! This is absolutely my favorite part of following Stardock games, is to see the game evolve in terms of what the AI can do. I know that good AI is not the most popular thing in the industry, but it is what will get my $$$ everytime. Brad, thanks for sharing the "sausage factory" with us.

Looking forward to joining you guys online over the next week.

I will be online soon as I am getting this for Christmas. It was hard for me not to turn it on since I had early access, but if my kids saw me playing the game they were getting me for a present they would be crushed, so I've had to wait. :) We should start a stardock clan, Elemental clan...something.

@Heavenfall - thanks for the clarification. :) Looking forward to seeing the magic system, and I would guess that it will be one of the systems that will see some serious tweaking once we get our hands on the beta.
