[quote who="mechanoid" reply="3" id="2749922"] I think Stardock should start to work with professional fantasy writers and provide some really well written missions. Of course the community modders will do a lot of interesting things, but probably the result will be similar to the official campaign.[/quote] Funny, Stardock *is* working with professional writers but somehow this is the campaign we got anyway :(
[quote who="DethAdder" reply="13" id="2748425"] but what is up with all those commas? I wonder about that too. I have seen a couple of different quoted lines and paragraphs from the book and they all seemed filled with commas. Two words comma, three words comma, etc. I plan to pick up a copy, I just hope it isn't all about the commas .[/quote] I can already predict the plot twist when the semicolon makes its appearance :)
@Nenjin: In SD's defense (and make no mistake...I am not a happy owner of the LE Elemental right now), this exclusive campaign is being written (built?) by the book publisher. Not SD. So in theory that means SD is still working on the game while the publisher works on the campaign.
I'm deciding on whether or not to buy and it wouldn't mind some reviews. The few reviews on Amazon are all very negative. Don't take this the wrong way, but please try to leave the fanboism out of the reviews. I'd like honest opinions.
I'd like the font when you get it finished! It would be sweet to switch my Visual Studio to use it so my co-workers could be awed by my mad coding skillz.
I've also seen fanboy threads get deleted too...so don't think they are just wiping the rant threads. Edit: Isn't FB supposed to be on vacation? Like in some valley with a fake moon or something?
and also they need to implement a no-move-once-you-take-an-action policy to prevent the kiting cheeze you can do now.
[quote who="Sarudak" reply="25" id="2738977"]This was intentional not an exploit or a bug. When asked on irc Brad said he hated ring limits.[/quote] Clearly because in real-life he has 1337 different rings he wants to wear but he can't due to the ring limit! [e digicons]:D[/e]

[quote who="KingHobbit" reply="301" id="2738937"] Bugs are a big part of initial impressions, but being unfinished is about far more then just being buggy. It's about haing poor AI, poor balance and having gameplay features that were clearly not well thought out or playtested and which do not work well with the game as a whole. Well then I guess Blizzard is glad that I can overlook initial bugs, because I was part of the group that the computer froze almost every 15 minutes of play.
[quote who="Rune_74" reply="65" id="2738927"] They gives cheques out for being a dick? Noone said having issues with it is bad....going on a crusade is moronic.[/quote] I dunno, have you received your cheque yet? [e digicons]:erk:[/e]
[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="297" id="2738869"] Quoting TheProgress, reply 293Well I tried posting this earlier, but apparently some mod is cencoring the forums. I don't blame them for deleting it because that "review" is just another shallow rant at Stardock's expense. And anyway, when something gets moderated, it's bad form to just post it again.[/quote] I'll be curious to see the fanboi reaction when other reviews come out. Will every negati
harsh but not unexpected, except perhaps by SD
i'm still waiting on my copy. Kinda bummed they didn't label the tracks...
Yep stuff happens. The fail is that they released the game before the job was finished. The paid beta test has been extended without letting unsuspecting people know it is still in beta.
I think the Raze City tech should just be renamed "Discover Fire". [e digicons]^_^[/e]
[quote who="TheProgress" reply="8" id="2730409"] Quoting Qyth, reply 6This sounds so disappointing. Hopefully the AI is drastically improved soon. Until then there is little point in playing if there is going to be no challenge. I should have mentioned all opponents were on ridiculous and extreme.[/quote] Well that's your problem right there. Or are you trying to say the AI is not acting extremely ridiculous?
[quote who="Star Adder" reply="43" id="2730352"] The technical bit about the white screen however seems to be something related to his rig since most people seem to be able to see what's going on on the battle screen.[/quote] check the support forums. He's not the only one that gets a white screen going into combat. I'd call it a "known issue". Me? I pre-ordered before the first beta b/c I had a 20% off coupon code I r
