This falls along the lines of the need to cap spell casting with a channeling mechanic ala MoM, to avoid having the ability to spend 1000's of mana on a single turn. It isn't a matter if the spell being global or not. A character must have the right skill level to use/learn it, regardless of what has transpired in the game. What I'm talking about would be allowing skill 1 fire mage to cast fireball (a skill 3 spell) because you have another master fire mage who has already

It could be turned into a town portal spell that's more expensive. This way you get around the outpost abuse and it being expensive, caps it's use. I definitely think that we are in dire need of the channeling concept. Unlimited casting in combat and on the cloth map is way wrong!! Time/mana should be a factor when it comes to magic. This is the only way to add really powerful spells in the game. Casting call to arms 4-5 times in a row in a city with the magic buffs af

I would like to see other sources of mana being added to the game. So I'm concerned. I would like to see 2 way alchemy for instance. I would also like to see finding new rare spells in ruins. The current system is "all spells come from picks" That being said, with the current balance of the game as it is, a single end game spell can ruin the AI's day. I tend to conserve my mana always for those early big casts. Try saving mana for an early double crusade cast with 2 st

[quote who="StillSingle" reply="2" id="3070191"]22. I don't mind this. There's enough spells in the base categories from levelling up. And you can't cast the spells unless you are high enough mage level in the discipline, so there is no point in splitting spell acquisition from spell mastery level. I don't think however there should be more quests/loot/champions that give you spells outside the base discipline spells. Especially some more early on spells to add variety in magi

After playing 3 games since the launch of the beta (2 of them were on .76 .77) I wish to give this project some feedback. Also I would like to address Das123 issues regarding: The champion stack of doom City spam micromanagement hell. The reason why FE is facing trouble is not due to 1 or 2 reasons IMHO. There are many reasons that contribute. 0. Winning and losing. There's a thought constantly going on as I p

Can't really tell. It might just be the specific node you're using in stardock's content delivery network. Installed the game, and it plays ok... Good luck ppl.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="34" id="3058818"]I'm getting corrupted downloads as well. They just end before they're finished, with no real warning.[/quote] I expected as such. This kind of problem does get detected by download managers and they re-request the missing chunks. Still corruption does occur which is strange. My first DL was corrupted at 97% extraction. I'm using Getright BTW..

Keep in mind that the beta at this point might not even run, and even if it runs the probability of causing internal hemorrhage is quite high as Brad said. Even so you can expect long youtube runs tomorrow. At least FE is almost done, can't say the same for Diablo III.
