Seriously, you guys are sad and surprised? I keep telling SD to stop with giving us dates, because pretty much every single one of them has been missed. Just say "soon".. I knew Oct was too soon and only came back now to see when in Dec it would be completed? And no, I don't count a "beta" seeing as, as much as I love the game (edit: as much as I love what the game can be) this is still a beta as a whole considering major elements of what the game IS are being changed in their entirety.  "Fixing Magic" isn't just a small adjustment, it's a change to the core (some would say heart and soul) of the game.

Don't get me wrong, I'm bitter, but WILL jump on 1.1 as soon as it's out.   Good luck getting the final 1.1 done by Dec..ooops.."soon"!

Amen, at least when it comes to Stardock. I bought Elemental in the preorder deal and got the Limited Edition. Not only did I have to fight tooth and nail to just get it sent to me (several weeks after actual release) its been mostly unplayable. Even in its current state its just not much of a game. Beta had a better UI than the current game, that pretty sad.

If I had waited to buy the game I could have gotten it for 5 bucks, thats how much I see it for at a few used book store chains. That's new copies mind you, stores are already dumping the product. I think Stardock must take advice from Peter Molyneaux, over promise till your eyes bleed and then just ship whatever you the hell you feel like shipping. Patch it later if there is enough outcry. Although at least Molyneaux's games dont crash to desktop for the first 2 weeks or so.

1.1 in September huh... guess they meant Sept 2011. Oh well at least Civ 5 is a great game.

Shame the game didn't just come out when 1.1 was done. That way it would have got better reviews and more people would play.

I think we can all sit back and think about "what might have been".

I think, at this point, the best path is to look ahead and work together on making Elemental the great game we all know it can be.

Yeah. Well maybe when it gets really good people will re-review it. And if you can make it better than AOW:SM and HOMM5, then maybe word will probably spread anyway. I personally would post about it all over the web. There are a few big gaming sites I visit and there is one place I visit full of people who play old games like HOMM1-5 and the AOW games, so if I posted about it there, it would probably get quite a lot of interest.

"Don´t ask Lantros. Its done when its done. You know that. So...hold back yourself  and don´t ask. Its stupid. Patience, Lantros, Patience."

Hä? What?... ohh....sry. I´m off.

Oh! It`s "next week" already. I wonder when we will see new troll topic about beta patch time and new answer "next week"
