innociv: I totally agree. I think that we need to work hard as beta testers make sure stardock and gpg make skills that are useful and we can debate which is better and never really agree. Of course for one play style or another, one skill will beat the other, but it would be nice to have it so that no skill is truly better than another, just different. Please help me with that idea, as that is very important to me. Also, on a re
Trigeminal
Article aboutuniqueness and number of heroes. It basically says that the number of skills we currently have will be increased dramatically for release. This will make 1 rook play differently than another. Link
I you read the journal post on the main page they mention beta 1 a with stats screen at completion and new general in ~1week.
Try deleting local program and re-downloading and installing the program. Reply if that does or doesn't fix the issue.
I currently have no background programs running and I get 90-97% on core 1 and 20-37% on core 2. They definately have multicore support. Not sure what else you want. It will never be perfectly balanced or "spill over". The program is clearly multithreaded and allowing the program to throw physics and what not to core 2 and maintain good frame rates. This is the state of mulitcore gaming today, like it or not. In a few years programs may be better optimized
Do you need the game installed, or can i use this to get friends to join beta?
The cost makes it highly prohibitive. But yes it is my fav item. I am sure they will balance in beta 3 and post release patches.
I agree seperate the forums. Also have the forum link in impulse take you to the main beta directory with the choices.
I have seen the rook rebuild towers bery close to the spot of the far tower to keep the tower of light chain attack intact. They need to be a certain distance and I have on at least 3 games seen the rook roughly replace the tower. I was at fist confused as well. After it happend a second time I noticed it was smaller than the other towers and then realized it was the rook tower. Since then I have noticed in the other 2 games.
When I am killed while playing the game at 1280x1024, the resurecting countdown covers up the name of the demigod who killed me. When playing against an AI, this is no big deal, but when playing online against others, I will want REVENGE. [e digicons]}:)[/e]
I agree with above: No buying to ress, but shopping would be great.
When playing as the rook and when I buy the breastplate that gives +1200 armor, I get a "buff" lister above the ui toolbar of a pink heart or shield with a white sash acrossed it. I am not sure what this is, but it only shows up after this item is purchased. No pop up text is shown to give me any info on this "buff".
Works for me at 1280x1024 at 70Hz. Please give your full system specs.
You can use a long range shot at anything. Snipe is just a extra long, extra strong attack. I think hitting buildings is ok. Sniper in TF2 can be very good at taking out buildings. The ability is not called "Headshot". Just my thoughts.
It is based off Supreme Commander's engine and as such should have native quad core support. I'll take a peek to see if I notice this too.
Lock and then crash or just hung for a few seconds?
[quote who="SneakyChopsticks" reply="1" id="1862682"]im having a fps issue where it runs perfectly for a while then it jsut starts having horrible delay until it freezes then it goes back to normal...[/quote] This happend in my first game when playing as Regulus, whenever opposing rooks would use hammer ability or torch bearer used fire spell, I got a 3 second freeze. The second game, when playing as the rook, I had no issues with freezing.
In my game, the demigods on my team stand at the spawn point and do absolutely nothing. Unfortunately the opposing team demigods were still working. They did finally reactivate when they attcked the stronghold.
You are a liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After my first game, I must confess, the beta is actually very fun.
In addition, I was wondering if a smaller ui might be possible. All the same info, but 30% of the size.
I agree with the mouse scroll idea. Everytime I pushing up a few feet and I then have to zoom out and zoom in to regain focus. This is annoying and slows me down, more importantly, it take me out of the experience.
10 minutes, already downloaded and installed. I sed to like steam, but this was much better! I appreciate the contol of choosing directories. We just need integrated voice chat for gamers and then I have a new favorite program.
I checked 2 minutes ago and then just checked. I'm IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pre-ordered on Monday of this week by Credit Card. I'm thinking that should make it most everyone now. And suprisingly, I'm 1.1mb/s with other things downloading.
Hey all, If and when you get in, it would be great to let us know if you paid with token, paypal, or credit card. Thanks. I'll do the same, if at the time I get in this is even mildly relevant.
Kitkun is correct. I am talking about the icons in the "links" or "favorites" bar in IE7 or Firefox next to the name of the site. I know it is a little issue, but it is the only site without one and shows a level of professionalism and care to detail.
