Even though I can't afford to buy the game right now (need paycheck :D), I'm starting to see an interesting concept here. I mean, I wouldn't mind paying for a game if I can play it like right now even as a beta, 6 months from release. It allows players to give some feedback and allows the company to get the highly needed money to polish the product/do whatever they want. More companies should apply this concept. Kudos to SD ;)

Hi, Spells or Abiliy "zone" sometimes not showing up (you know, the circle that shows, for example, the limits of a fireball, or Bat swarm). [e digicons]X([/e]
[quote who="Zargon0225" reply="3" id="2380811"]We are also adding a new feature today that will display recommended and friends even if they are not available (but with no check boxes next to them) so you can see that you will get matches, but they may not be online at that moment. Basically so you can see the program is doing something, even though you cannot contact those users at that moment. Zargon[/quote] What would be great, if possible, is the possibility

Hi, Just to report an annoying bug. You know, when you hover a spell or an ability, it usually shows a circle that materialize the distance up to where you can cast/bat/whatever. Well, sometimes, this circle disappears. If someone has an explanation, I'm curious. I can play a few games withouth having this bug, then all of a sudden, I get this a whole game (just happened with erebus). Thanks for taking a look ;)
[quote who="acare84" reply="29" id="2381702"]I have got Sins of a Solar Empire and Demigod but still no sign of beta. I hope they will invite me too soon, because I really want to try this. [/quote] You will get an email, where you will find a serial number. You will then be able to activate R2P within Impulse and join us there ;) Best of luck to you.
[quote who="Zargon0225" reply="2" id="2381550"] Possiblity to have only a system tray icon (I just don't like having programs in both systray and taskbar - personal convenience) We already have an option to set only use the system tray. It is just turned off by default. [/quote] Hi, Thanks for your previous reply, it's really nice to be in touch directly with someone who actually cares :-) Anyway, I don't think we are talking about the sam
Really nice app, need some polishing but already great !
Hi guys, Thanks for R2P, it's really a nice app we got here ! What would be lovely : - Main window can "anchor" to the limit of the screen (see how winamp does that ? well that's the idea) - Have the program remember its last main window position - Possiblity to have only a system tray icon (I just don't like having programs in both systray and taskbar - personal convenience) That's it for now, will come back later with other ideas. [Edit]
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="49" id="2379950"]I hope people still appreciate that if Elemental isn't available at retail in Europe. [/quote] Who cares about retail when we can have digital [e digicons]:grin:[/e] if (and it seems to be the case) it is fairly priced, I don't mind getting the latter.
[quote who="aLap" reply="40" id="2377571"]Also one big difference in communication, as FidelCastrol can attest.[/quote] I for one appreciate the honesty of Stardock (via Frogboy's answer). Unlike on steam community forum, no post was deleted whatsoever and we got a straight answer. Thanks for that :-) Will keep on supporting Impulse by buying games that are normally priced (I have high hopes for Elemental [e digicons]:D[/e] ) . For the rest of the games...well...I'll
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="36" id="2376992"]You have no idea what sacrifices were made behind the scenes to have Demigod have a single worldwide price. [/quote] Thanks ;) at least you care enough.
[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="33" id="2376943"] Not much of a choice is there?[/quote] Like you say, not much of a choice. That's really sad because Impulse is potentially a great platform. Let's see how this evolves around.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="31" id="2376829"]It is something we bring up all the time. The publisher sets the price which in turn is bound often by retailers who are very dominant in Europe.[/quote] Long story short, Stardock can't do anything ?
[quote who="Peace Phoenix" reply="24" id="2376538"]And if 1€ = 0.8 $ like it was few years ago, would you still complaint about regional pricing? [/quote] Did I complain when it was the case ? Certainly not, as it was normal to pay more. During this era, I bought games in store, so don't know if I was paying more. Now, go figure why some retailer like play.com can sell the game for 30€, shipping included. Plus, I get a box and a manual (or something that looks like i
[quote who="ZehDon" reply="20" id="2376495"]American and non-Eurpoean gamers will be charged more. Food for thought.[/quote] Sure, but at least we would all pay the same. The pricing in EU is something that make me ask the following : do they think we are actually rich ? I mean, my average paycheck is around 1300€. I don't know how it scales compared to US average paycheck but I'm pretty sure it doesn't scale well regarding the price difference on Impulse/Steam. A
[quote who="Spooky" reply="17" id="2376480"]Ah proxy wouldn't work, since the actual price will simply determined by your credit card.[/quote] Then I guess gifting is the only solution left.
[quote who="Haree78" reply="15" id="2376472"]Yeah that was the one I was using at the time, wasn't able to buy in dollars though. Steam wouldn't even start with it.[/quote] Awwwww crap. Well, looks like we're screwed. Or maybe we should organize something where someone from the US could gift games to us ? Using paypal for this would be quite a blast.
Anyway I'm glad to see that I'm the only one finding this matter quite disturbing. Will report it to steamunpowered.eu so they might hit a larger audience.
[quote who="Haree78" reply="11" id="2376430"] Last time I tried to do that it had been disabled by both Steam and Impulse but maybe it was the proxy I was using. Does anyone know a handy proxy to use?[/quote] Did you try using Hotspot Shield ? Had great success using this to watch episodes on Hulu. Even though I'm in France. :-)
[quote who="Peace Phoenix" reply="4" id="2376324"] Anyway I hope I'll get a straight answer as for why there is such a big difference in prices. It is very simple: the publisher has decided to have regional pricings. One for North America, one other for Europe. This happens on all Paradox titles (which is an european publisher). The publisher can also decide that the default price is in euro and that north America has a specific regional price.[/quote] What I
Hello guys & gals. I see that what happened to Steam is starting to happen to Impulse, and that's really a shame. Do you guys at Stardock realize that for example, Majesty 2 should cost 28€ at most for us europeans ? And that's just one example, really. Red faction guerrilla : 49.99€ instead of 28€ (39.99$). How do you explain that ? Of course there are games worth gett
[quote who="pacov" reply="17" id="2376159"]Showed up in impulse as a download.[/quote] Damn, and nothing for me. Even though I'm player #339 according to the stats website. How weird is that. I'm so angry now I'm gonna eat a kitten [e digicons]:pout:[/e]
I play only during week ends and that's when it's possible. That will change when readytoplay is available.
[quote who="pacov" reply="15" id="2374111"]Dito - it seems to take awhile for the emails to go out on their system... no idea how or why it works that way. Looking forward to trying it soon too. [/quote] Same here, still nothing, and didn't hear about someone getting any email [e digicons]8(|[/e]
