Hi there!

I'm new to this, actually just bought the game on a whim today, but have been stalking this game since I saw the pictures of the giant building-god thing and nearly drooled all my saliva from my mouth at the trailer.

Maddd props for all that

There's something in me that just burns when I see a chick, dressed in epic gear, sporting fire behind her, or holding it in her hands, and her hair is wisping in the wind, and her eyes are flashing (think Phoenix from X-Men).

And when I saw that in the trailer, I knew that this game was going to be GOLD.  I'd have to say that right now the game feels a bit difficult to understand what's going on.  The buildings aren't "close", for instance, that first building you buy things from is a little off in the distance.  It isn't very welcoming in terms of spatially on the map.  Secondly, I don't know when I'm selecting my character or my minoins or what have you.  I think that's what makes DotA (using wc3's excellent engine) so great.  When I select my hero A.) He talks, and B.) it shows up down below, with his face and whatever else about him.  I would like to see the minoins gets some sort of visual "I'm in your selected group" representation, via an icon somewhere.  Those green circles just don't cut it.  I need more, I feel.

I love the idea of POWER that you gave the Demigods.  In my first battle, my first swing, I swung so hard it knocked a little fighter straight back into the flag pole.  It was glorious!  Keep more of this "Wow!" stuff in there.  Let me go "This is Epic.  This is huge.  This is fire billowing in a pretty girl's fingers, and swirling around behind her in her hair."

Love the game so far, and looking forward to more builds.  Keep it epic, and remember that the word "God" is even in your game title.  Let us feel divine when we play.  For some reason, I don't feel like I'm in control, and it could be because I don't know when I'm selecting my summoned clerics/archers/whatever, or my Demigod.  (Other than those green circles). Let me feel like I'm in control.  I like the way we pick our talents, like a skill tree, but the icons all look the same, and are a tad small.  Nothing is recognizable.  DotA and the like have a great sense of visibility with icons of things.  Everything is distinct.  I know what Blood lust looks like.  I know what Shadowstep looks like in Guild Wars.  The icons are PERFECT and clear. 

Camera -- If you could make it rotatable when I click the middle mouse button instead of Insert/Delete, that would be great.  Also -- can you make it so we can interact with the minimap?  I wannna be able to click the minimap and go to that location on the map.  It helps a great deal rather than zooming out, mouse-mousing the screen, zoomingback in.  That's just a tad too tedious. 

Great game.  Happy Holidays, and good luck to ALL of you.  Your community supports you thoroughly.  I know I do.
