Opening the "Spell Resrarch" menu results in video artifacts. The only way to fix is to toggle lighting quality or reload application.

The player is given two options. Attack or retreat. However the wording of these two options are misleading and look the same. The second option says "You have worn out your welcome." This could be misread as "You have worn out your welcome and will retreat." when really this is the attack option.

That is what EA does best and I couldn't agree more.
Sounds like Archon with the realtime battles
[quote] Elemental has multiplayer. To ensure that it is robust, we basically threw money at the problem (i.e. set up servers around the world to just host the game) rather than monkey around with trying to get players to connect with one another. However, Elemental IS a single player game that happens to have multiplayer. Out of the box, Elemental’s multiplayer will be essentially skirmish on fixed maps that have been pre-balanced (i.e. not randomly generated). [/quote]</p
I haven't played one of Akellas bug ridden games since Age of Pirates... I still want a patch for that POS.
I wouldn't mind if they delayed the game to make it great. I'm not in beta so I can't really say but even if I was I would reserve judgement until it's ready. I like the "When it's done" approach. However I wouldn't worry at this point as it sounds like your only testing bits and peices of the final product. I'm sure once they get closer and start putting everything togeather it will start to take shape. Keep up the good work! I really hope it runs smooth and plays well at release.

He's spot on the money with his theory. The latest information they have brought to date about particles escaping a black hole is again correct. Aside from the Black hole seeding galaxies they can also seed universes. Amazing to be part of the internet at such a crucial point in history. Where the entire planet comes togeather to further our knowledge of the universe and nature. Highly recommend reading/watching any if not all of this mans theories. Einstein wasn't perfect either as he failed

[quote who="wilebill" reply="42" id="2674763"]I have used an S controller quite a bit. It works really great for certain types of games and the best part is it simply becomes an extension of your desires. Yes, I like controllers where they work with a game designed for them. And yet ... way back there I played Halo 1 on an XBox, and then later on got the PC version. For some reason, I found that game much easier to play on PC with a mouse and the keyboard. Borderlands ..
For the record I hated Mass Effect 1 with a passion. I bought it on launch day and after trying several times to get into the game I put it away. After a while I ended up selling it. Then I saw it for 10 bucks one day and thought to myself after much debate about the game maybe I was hard on it or not in the mood for a slower paced RPG at the time. So I bought it again and while I made it a bit further the second time I still ended up hated everything about it aside from the fact it was Sci F

Make sure you have "Show Pre-Release Versions" selected in the Impulse drop down menu. Also select preferences and make sure you have "Show Pre-Release Alpha/Beta" selected. That should do it...
Halo Wars LOL...
[quote quoting="post"]ok to start off i gotta say i pirate,and before you try to find my address and slit my throat,i pirate to see if i can run the game well(saves money so i dont buy a game i cant run)and to get down the controls and basic skills then i buy it.i believe its ok to pirate for this reason but if your not going to buy it at all then thats just wrong,and it makes the developers suffer support the devs!

[quote who="coreimpulse" reply="40" id="2674390"]I dont see the controller an any innovation in gaming input over the keyboard and mouse. The keyboard and mouse aren't the "holygrail" either, they are just convenient and open. The controller wasn't made an an innovation, it was something shoehorned into gaming, forced by console companies since it's their interest to sell more 360s and ps3s. [/quote] I disagree. Dual analog sticks was an innovation that also changed t

[quote]I am not "afraid" of cross platform per se in Diablo 3. However, there will be some limitations in the game itself that will arise from limited memory of the consoles, limitations in the CPU and the GPU, and a simplified control scheme.[/quote] True enough and at this point it's probably much to late in development to address the issues of limited memory when trying to port it over as the engine needs to be designed with this in mind. The CPU and GPU in the XBOX though are more

I mean WTF do they need Tages on a STEAM version of the game? Are they really that stupid and or lazy?
[quote who="lbgsloan" reply="1" id="2673679"]I remember this from years ago. Tried it single player and the AI cheats so hard it's painful. They can do a bazillion actions per turn, get blatantly better production, and psychicly predict events. One turn all the AI changed all their production to food for some reason. I was baffled...until an event that turn hit that increased all food production! Unless I'm mistaken and the events are actually fixed, that's going
[quote]Well then you don't hate Steam that much, do you? If you really hated it, you wouldn't have bought anything, deals or no deals. Nor do you want in the Elemental beta that much either, otherwise you would have pre-ordered it instead of buy whatever you got on Steam.[/quote] First of all I just found out about Elemental. No email no nothing from Stardock. Second I hate STEAM with a passion as a matter of fact. It's sitting in my tray EATING 75MB of ram right now for no frakking r
[quote]Haha I got much higher end system specs than you and I still had to purchase my pre-order to get into Beta [/quote] LOL newer and faster doesn't make it a better test bed really unless your testing out how much you can push. At least I know my rig is stable and works 100% Makes debugging a bit easier when I'm not troubleshooting hardware. It's past it's prime though. I will be upgraded in time for Diablo 3 don't you worry :)
