Reply to I like what I see, but I hope that Stardock has enought time and resources to finish and polish it... in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="32" id="2679705"]If you're not a Game Designer then how do you know one month is not enough? I'm not trying to insult you here, it's just that these kinds of "I don't make games, and I don't know how to make games, and I don't know how to make this game better, but this Game isn't good enough." posts are pointless.[/quote] I am not a game designer, but I am a game player, including many betas, including Stardock betas.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="29" id="2679373"]I guess I don't quite understand why one would make a "I'm afraid the game won't be ready in " thread instead of "The game is lacking in currently, here's a few things you can do to make it better: ....". If you're worried about the game lacking something, wouldn't it be better to post ideas and suggestions that would make the game more complete in that regard? It's okay so say you're concerned, but with

[quote who="tesb" reply="26" id="2679178"] that is what i meant by shallow, i do not mean bugs, missing features, lack polish but a general feeling that comes after playing a few games: been there, done that, next.][/quote] This is exactly what I mean as well. We are not testing much of gameplay! It is quite possible that they have the gameplay testing for already half a year, something that we do not see, but somehow I doubt this. In all good betas, that become good game

[quote who="Dreaderr" reply="2" id="2678291"]...but I disagree with your point that it is only now that the game is starting to shape into a beta.Honestly the word beta has been warped in the industry to indicate not a testing phase, but a preview to the game, where 'beta testers' dont really test anything, they just play the game. Stardock clearly still holds to the true belief that a beta is precisely a testing phase, where players are meant to encounter bugs, graphical glitches, and crashe

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="4" id="2678334"] I'm not trying to be rude here, just curious, but are you aware that the Beta build that we have is, at least, several full build versions behind what Stardock actually have? The game, on their servers, would be much, much further along than the Beta that we have. [/quote] I do not think that they are "much much further", because there would be no reason for beta test with us in that respect. And while we do test

This thing has great potential, but it needs SO MUCH MORE WORK, before it becomes something interesting to play. I think only now the game shapes itself into something that actually could be called beta, but still lots of things are missing or not working, so I am not sure if it can be called beta, it is still more like late alpha. Anyway, I see huge potential, but lots of balancing, tweaking, and fluff is required in this game, but it can not be done properly yet, because lots things

[beta 3A] [5 Suggestions] in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

1) When city levels up, one can chose a benefit, however, after I chose it, I do not see it anywhere mentioned, not in city description, nor in other places like calculations for output. It should be more visible. 2) Somehow I can not build gardens, or whatever food producing buildings in the cities, I do not understand why. There probably some requirement for that to appear even as a gray item, but I can not even figure it out. I do not know how, but there must be a way to see that s

Do DeskScapes work with Fences? in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Somehow when I run DeskScapes with Fences, my fences disappear in Vista. The icons are simply put on desktop without fences themselves. Do I need restart computer or purchase Fences Pro or do something else?

Couple questions before upgrade to OD2 in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I can not see OD 2 in impulse, I assume that I have to buy it from website, and after that it will upgrade my OD 1.9 in impulse to OD2.0, and I will not have OD 1.9 icon in impulse any more. Is it right? Or will I see separate 1.9 and 2.0 and I can at any moment revert back to 1.9 if I chose to? If I upgrade, will it preserve my current configuration of the docks and the icons in them? Can I run 1.9 and 2.0 at the same time? Thank you in advance...

Reply to [BUG in 0.295] Collocated Hero and Monster in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

[quote who="tour86rocker" reply="3" id="2565189"] Notice how when you hover your pointer on an enemy, the pointer normally changes to a crossed swords pointer? And how sometimes it doesn't? I think when it doesn't, you're pointing at a shadow/ghost/what-have-you. [/quote] Well, as I mentioned in my case, the pointer does change into the crossed sword "attack" pointer if I hover it about the cell with hero and the spider. So, by this definition it is not a ghost.<

Reply to [Suggestion] Double left click on city should open the close up build screen. in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I think that right click also can be good idea. And I am not talking windows right click type of interface, but the one that gives your icons arond cursor when you right click (those icons can have sub-menues/sub icons as well if you click them). It is strange that they try to save scrolling time by letting us drag the map, yet they want us to go through the menus on the bottom of the screen, which is fine but if one has "accelerators" through things like double click or middle click

[BUG in 0.295] Collocated Hero and Monster in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I tried to attack the spider, but I could not. Instead I went to the same cell. If I hover the cursor above the cell, I can see the "attack" cursor, and the info card for the spider. Please also note that info card says that the spider awaits orders. The cell itself shows both my hero and the spider.
