Looks like these comments about line up with what we're thinking internally...thanks for the feedback, guys! [quote]I'm a little frustrated by this post and feel the need to speak...[/quote] Absolutly...we understand EVERYONES frustration, but the situation is-what-it-is, unfortunatly, and this post is 100% about having a solid view on what folks like vs what they don't (and we have the 'what they don't' lists). Next week Derek will be joining us to solidify our direction

A List of ‘Positives’ in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

One of the things people like about our office is the hallway-long whiteboard wall that the games team uses for a variety of purposes. Right now there are several to-do lists for 1.1 and beyond, a rundown of sales for our various titles, and a HUGE ‘wish list’ of Elemental features/tweaks players and press have requested. In fact, we’ve switched from writing the suggestions down and now simply print out feedback lists and tape them to the wall. My request today is in

We're looking into ways to make it more obvious that the DLC is there, but for now it's luck of the draw I'm afraid :) So 'good luck'!

[quote]BUT we have a re-occuring issue with the bows 100% missing the same as a month ago[/quote] DId you get to reply to that other post you made in support about the issue? Looking in code at your saved game, it was looking like the bows being used had been modded. We tested the campaign with core data and the bows were hitting as designed.

Reply to elemental 1.09e CTD on ANY map NOT stock [Fixed] in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Still embarissing on our end any time a hotfix is needed :( If you've heard stories about Q/A testers having to re-play through an entire game as the gold RC is tested, every time the littlest code-change is made, know that those stories are painfully, 100% true, as are stories of those of Q/A testers throwing controllers, consoles, chairs, etc out the window in frustrated rages.

Reply to elemental 1.09e CTD on ANY map NOT stock [Fixed] in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Yeah, this was discovered and fixed soon after the build went out...restaging as we speak. Needless to say, Q/A has a very deliberate, direct focus when testing a build (if we had them test EVERYTHING, we wouldn't be able to put out builds at the speed we do). Apparently 'Test Loading Modded Maps' should have been a RC test instead of a weekly test (was working fine Tuesday), so we appologize for the hiccup.

Reply to 64bit Elemental still in the works? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote]When i heard about it, I didn't wanna buy a version, and then have another one come out that i would much rather have. [/quote] Yeah, when it's done the 64bit version won't have an upcharge. We're still hammering out basic performance and enjoyment issues, but once more players are happier with their purchase we'll officially tackle 64x Elemental.

Elemental: v1.09E Changelog in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Hey Everyone, Tonight you’ll be able to update to v1.09E of Elemental. There are several bugfixes and tweaks in it, but the major change is the shift to a public Multiplayer build. If you’ve been playing the ‘release candidate’ MP builds, we suggest turning off ‘Show Pre-Release’ versions for anyone that has it selected that ONLY wants the official updates). After 1.09E we’ll be shifting all our energies onto v1.1, where you’ll s

Reply to Campaign 01 Relias 25 Crystals to go in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Sorry guys, there was a performance fix for 1.09 where an event was borderline spamming the trigger system, but unfortunatly it broke this bit of the campaign. The fix has been made internally and will be released in the next patch (this Thursday, if things go well).

Reply to [1.09] Campaign - Unable to complete "25 crystals" quest for Capitar [Fixed Internally] in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Found it :( Looks like there was a redundant event call that got cleaned up, but in the clean up, certain situations would leave the 'AddResource' function without sending the event, which would leave the trigger un-triggerable . It's fixed internally, and I beleive an update is scheduled for this Thursday, so you have a few days to muster your forces for the later chapters :) Or play sandbox mode...which would probably be the more enjoyable of the options.
