Reply to How to submit bug reports in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="14" id="2326812"]Will there be a specific forum just for bug report posting? (not that some people won't post non-bug reports in there, anyway, but still...) [/quote] Probably.

[quote who="landisaurus" reply="20" id="2326601"]do you think they'd stop posting because they are too busy playing, or because they fear they may accidently break the NDA?[/quote] I know why [i]I[/i] vanished when the Sins gamma occured, and it was only have because I was busy playing. Ever since, I've made it a habit to stay out of dangerous waters when I'm under NDA.

[quote who="Paradoxnt" reply="17" id="2326511"]Once the Alpha comes out, I suspect that some people might disappear from these forums. If the Alpha testers want to remain International Men/Women of Mystery, they better keep making regular appearances here with the rest of us.[/quote] You just [i]had[/i] to say that; now you've locked every single Alpha person into sticking around like it or not!

Reply to good/bad defence/offence healing in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote]since the form of life magic is based on good or evil, I'd say good would be more defensive, just because evil is more aggresive by nature. [/quote] O RLY? So good guys can't go on the offensive to take out the bad guy? The best defense [i]isn't[/i] a good offense?

Reply to What is up with the graphics for this game? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote]It's not that it is just cartoonish, but that it's extremely minimalistic.[/quote] Hrm, you make it sound like minimalistic is supposed to be an insult :P Sometimes, being minimalist / impressionist can actually improve the impact provided by an art piece. (For example, a story I wrote garnered some very good e-mails pointing out the fact that the minimalist approach I use on details really worked for the story)

Reply to Could the beta program be an experience unto itself? in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote]That has potential to be great but remember that Master of Orion 3 did something similar to that and in the end that didn't work out too well for them. [/quote] More like changing publishers 3 times, with 3 different visions for the game, and a [i]way[/i] overambitious design idea didn't work well for them :P

[quote]Honestly Ron, if you are not on the list after all the countless hours you put in on other projects, I would be flabbergasted, frankly speaking. I sincerely believe they recognize your value on several levels and clearly understand your motivation so I would not fret brother man.[/quote] Yeah, well, I guess I have a self-esteem issue.

Reply to Art style=FAIL in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I happen to like the stylized approach to graphics for this type of game! There is nothing more annoying that having to mouse over every single tile simply because the graphics are so complex and detailed that I can't tell at a glance what the terrain type, improvments, and other 'fun' on the tile means. Sure, it looks good, but it gets in the fucking way. Besides, the way they're going looks good in it's own right, even if it is stylized.

[quote]I'm under the impression that NDAs are going to be mailed out prior to thursday so that the lucky ~100 can start playing on thursday.[/quote] Well, if that's the case then I imagine a lot of very happy people must have e-mail in their in-boxes. Well, they still have a few days, but *I* wouldn't put it out any later than tomorrow, simply to give those lucky people time to get it back in 'on time' before thursday release.

Reply to The Return of the Survey! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote]In fact, no one has said that they are 100% certain they will be selected, which honestly surprised me.[/quote] Doesn't surprise me. SD hasn't said who it will be bringing in, and even if you take a 'hand-picked team', the question is which previous games will they pull from? Sins gamma test? Demigod? GalCiv 2 ToA? Or, instead of porting whole teams, are they just going to grab a person here, a perosn there...

Question: does anyone know if thursday is the day we can start playing because they've released the stuff, or if it's 'merely' the day they start setting everything up? (Mailling out NDAs, registering serials but [i]not[/i] giving access to the game, etc etc)
