This is a beta

And there is not nearly enough discussion happening here. I implore you to write more topics about how you feel about the game so far.|||Thing is, the online's dead. You don't get many players, it's a horrible place to be. When things like chat and such are implemented, I'll play it more.|||The networking problems make it difficult to find games, and many people prefer to post at the official Stardock forums.|||The "official" forums stole all the thunder. Damn shame really, that bright white layout makes my eyes bleed. We were pretty much pushed by the mods and devs here to take the discussion to Stardock, so no surprise on the activity level. I do give props to stardock though, ugly forum aside, they are very active in the discussions over there.



The online portion is still in its infancy. I don't even bother waiting for people to join my games, I just load 'em up with AI players. When I do see games I'll click on them but most the time I can't connect, presumably because the game is already in progress, but who knows.



It's no big deal to me, the devs are well aware and have stated a lot of work still needs to be done on the network side of things.|||I can't read the official forums, the whiteness is physically painful and the people on them are mentally painful.|||I really hate the stardock forums :S

Even quoting manually is a pain in the *** and if you quote the op you get "quoting post" instead of actually saying the name of the person that posted it -_-|||I cant stomach the stardock forums either which is why I want more discussion here...|||The way they handle links is really annoying. The CMS we have at work uses the same system so I usually add liks in the source code later. Why cant they just buy a decent forum software like vBulletin or at least use phpBB...



As far as the beta is concerend, Id love to discuss it here but I doubt the devs read it. And I havent played much lately...|||I'm all for attempting to revive the discussions here. I do think the devs, at least those in the GPG camp, read this forum. Perhaps we could try and make a push on the official forum to attract some of the RTS enthusiasts over here.



I think this forum could serve as a good platform to voice our opinion on the RTS aspect of the game and Generals in particular. Right now my fear is that our voices are being drowned out by the pre-existing Stardock and Dota fans who seem focused on the action-rpg elements to the near exclusion of the RTS side.



I don't mean to brag but...well, actually I do. SupCom players are generally a cut above the rest, especially when it comes to discussions on strategy and balance. This may be the best place to see that our concerns and ideas get heard. What do you guys think?|||Just start the discussion when the update is out, either today or next week again. Nothing to talk much about except I want TB to stab someone with his sword.|||Techubus|||Looks like that update is out. Don't know how I missed it till today, downloading now..



Checking the patch notes, lot of interesting changes. Level cap lowered to 20, XP req raised per level. New high level skills. Some interesting changes to Generals, and the QoT is out! |||But is the online actually multiplayer now instead of single player with smarter enemies?|||I can't even login anymore

Frogboy posted there were 2 reasons



#1 some people with an illegal copy of XP has problems with some of the validation functions but they are working that out (yay)



#2 the email address tied to my demigod install is different from the email bound to my account. (mailed the sales department as advised)



I hope I'm one of the people that don't suffer from #1 :p|||Rofl at number 1. Microsoft could sue them for fixing that.|||Microsoft actually encourages piracy.|||Lol, I don't think even Microsoft would pursue such a frivolous lawsuit.



It is a funny bug though, and even funnier that the devs have no qualms about fixing it :) MS does encourage it though. I can't remember the last OS I payed for. Yet I don't pirate games..|||they certainly prefer a home user who has a nongenuine windows over a linux or apple user who bears the potential risk of carrying that OS over in the enterprise he works for.
