[quote who="zingo77" reply="157" id="3673105"] Why go through all the trouble with woodoo- catch and wait Frogboy or whomever on chat hoping to get keys- I mean that's nonsense. [/quote] This.
My guess is we could use both...?
I am in, but basically nothing happens.
[quote who="Avatar137" reply="148" id="3672925"] EDIT: To add insult to injury, I decided to go play some more in my last game that I started and noticed that we got a 13.5mb download today. Now I can't get rid of the launcher and my game won't start. LOL Oh well, I guess the universe is trying to tell me today wasn't meant for any version of GC3. [/quote] That was the Crusade DLC, Avatar, are you enjoying it already? :D Obviously SD needed more time to
[quote who="Larsenex" reply="2" id="3672823"] Erolies, you should skip any 'adulting' you feel compelled to do and instead focus on things that will change the Universe that being Galactic Civilizations III! [/quote] Haha, Larsenex :D I am in similar situation, though. Have to spend the whole weekend at school. Being 36 years old! :P
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="125" id="3672767"] Working. Very. Very. Very. Long hours. Short version: We expect to have a Founder's Build to you tomorrow. I will be posting the password in this forum so that only those who understand it's under NDA will be talking about it. Feature wise, it's basically done. But there's so much polish and AI stuff still that makes all the difference in the world. [/quote] Thanks, Brad, for le
[quote who="mrblondini" reply="121" id="3672676"] jirkaesch, I still think we're the first people who'd be told. [/quote] Yeah, I am sure we are. It is actually not the waiting itself, but the lack of communication that sort of disturbs me. It is rather a project management deficiency or community management deficiency. But hey, who cares if the final DLC is great :) Hopefully the Axl Rose rumour is not true :D
Yet another day passes and still no word from Stardock staff. Makes me really worried, whether we Founders are still considered the first in GC community...
You mean carbon based and so? Maybe put that into the wishlist thread. BTW Who said that today is the Day? :)
[quote who="Avatar137" reply="114" id="3672525"] I'm kind of surprised that we haven't heard a word from them after hearing a tentative release time frame for us founders... Not their usual MO. [/quote] Yeah. Again - this is very strange communication policy [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]
Who is bitching, my friend? I guess it is only you :) Of course we can and will wait, if necessary, we are all adult and sane. But from professional point of view, it is also a matter of communication culture. And letting your VIP community stumble in the dark is not very... professional :)
So I guess the lucky day is *finally* here! Will monitor the forums between meetings... ;)
It would be fine, if founders have the beta concurrently with the stream, so we could examinate the stuff in parallel. Haha :D
Never got the magazine, although I am subscribed. Can it be downloaded online?
Well, since Stardock typically releases stuff on Tuesdays or Wednesday, I guess we will have to wait to the very last date. That is tommorrow :) And about having the time to play - tell me about it. I went on a business trip and had to spend four hours in the train... working, when I could be playing ;)
[quote who="Avatar137" reply="82" id="3671508"] From your lips to Brad's ears! [/quote] Lol, hopefully no more torture-waiting :)
Well, IslandDog said during the yesterday stream something like: Watch dedicated founders forum for upcoming info on beta. So hopefully the word "upcoming" referred to hours rather than days or weeks :)
Thanks, Kristy. Few questions, although partially answered by our friend DevildogFF: 1) Any changes to alliances mechanism? 2) Any changes to combat mechanism - small vs. big ships, evasion etc.? 3) How about changes to military starbases? Making them more competitive?
No. I am actually looking forward to them.
Hi guys, I strongly feel that Stardock is gradually loosing credit with this Founders beta thing. It is not about not being patient, we are all adults, it is about being honest and open with your (VIP) community. You should not really keep these people in the dark, or not even bait them with 'mid February'. Stardock, we need some community management! ...and preferably beta as well ;)
[quote who="erischild" reply="69" id="3670028"] Running late with no friendly informative words for us slavering founders is a different thing [/quote] Exactly. Hopefully Frogboy will lost some honest words with us, his most faitful...
Even better! Considering Frog´s statement in another thread, the Founders´ beta should be almost ready, right? Do not bait us anymore, guys ;)
[quote who="lyssailcor" reply="65" id="3669701"] But if that mechanic is brought back it would only be reasonable (and fun) to be able to assign escorts to your mini freighters, otherwise raiding would be too easy. [/quote] What do you have your fleets for, my friend? :)
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="3669655"] Getting the Founders build ready... [/quote] Hooah! Can´t wait :)
[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="61" id="3669656"] Was it GC1 or GC2 that had the mini freighters that could be attacked and destroyed? If I recall correctly after the mini freighter was destroyed 3 times (might be off on the number) you got a message that the trade route was being discontinued because it was too dangerous. I liked that mechanism. [/quote] Indeed, that was great and we need this mechanics back. It put on another layer of strategy when playing (againts) merc
