Just let him whine, it's all he does on these boards :P

It's siddy. He's an idiot and a troll, and I don't understand why the moderators don't do anything about him. Really, this forum could use more moderation.

That said, he does sometimes contribute to gameplay discussions when he's not being an ass.

The boards are well moderated in the sense that if there's anything that needs taking care of, it can get done in minutes. They're just being nice and not very overbearing on moderation. Lots of people can be asses, but most of us are adults anyway and don't need our hands held ;)

Of all the expansions I've played, they always have their own icon, if it did not, that would be just dumb to do that.


 

Yes, but this is a "mini-expansion", not a whole different game, like, for example, C&C expansions.

And?.....does it realy matter what type its as long you can play the original with someone else.

Normally i whuld agree, but since Ironclad is a watchword for CRAPPYEST ONLINE CODING EVER WHITNESED BY MANKIND, i will hold my (wallet) distance from anything you make untill the biggest bugs are killed.


!!!!!! Jerk...negative karma anyone?

Yes we need negative karma.

Order processing should start around 1-2pm (probably closer to 1) EST, if past indications are to go by. They're done first-come-first-serve so the earliest preorders get done first, and depending on the number it can take another 1-2 hours to get them all done.

You'll get an email right away when yours is done, and it will automatically show up (somehow) in My Games. Make sure to keep "show pre-release" checked.

This may be a dumb question or one that is answered else where but, can you use maps made with galaxy forge during/with the beta??

What I really don't understand about Siddy is that seeing as almost no-one agrees with him about Ironclad why he is trolling this thread.  You WILL find bugs and unbalanced elements in a beta, thats the whole point of them releasing it (so we can find them).

We'll have to see. I don't imagine how maps are read got changed, at most it might be another edit of the maps' versionNumber, like for the few previous patches.

It's part of the definition of the word 'troll'.  No one understands why a troll does what he does, only he can answer it.  And pray to god the monsters never do, for the answer shall drive ye mad should ye ever hear it.  Mad, I say!

Just as a clarification on what constructive criticism is...

I have experienced problems with Sins multiplayer.  My game crashes out repeatedly when trying to play online games.  I have numerous minidump files that I have submitted to Ironclad so they can fix the problem

And what constructive criticism is NOT....

Yes it is one thing to be a devil's advocate, then it is to be a pain to anyone in destructive criticism.

Stardock's game betas have been for pre-orders only for as long as I can remember.  The idea is simple: Those who have ordered the game have a vested interest in the game doing well and will provide better feedback than those who are just looking for a free game to try.

Betas are not demos, they're not there to try before you buy.  They are an opportunity for users to have input into the game they've purchased and be involved in making the game better.
Wait, so you're saying I wont get to play the beta because I waited until today to pre order, even though thats the exact same reason that I waited this long to pre order in the first place?

If you ordered today you should still get access. Your order is just at the end of the list.

 

All the orders that were taken over the past couple months are being done in the same order they came in. So someone ordering right when it was announced is ahead of mine (from last month), which is ahead of yours (today). But it should still get done.

 

If you don't have access by tomorrow, you should bug support. :)

You get to play today, once everyone else does.... the longer you waited to preorder the longer it will take to process your order.....
