Update To Version 3.08 Of Dominions 3 Today!

Joining the disgruntled Cainehill:

LE C'tis apparently *still* can't summon Tomb Wyrms. That's been broken going on a couple of patches now. You'd think that stuff that *used to* work and got broken along the way would be fixed by now.

Reverend: how is Illwinter supposed to know what to put in as high-priority? They aren't keeping up with the bug reports themselves, and they started going through Edi's list in the order he lists the bugs. Shocking, isn't it? They still have 26 points in the buglists (not counting the magic/undead/demon leadership list and hp discrepancy, which seem quite minor) before the part Edi has named Nations. The Tomb Wyrm problem is fourth of the nation-spesific problems. 11 of the 26 points left to do are about maxage changing with mod commands that shouldn't change maxage, and there are two pairs of almost identical problems (two bakemono poptypes not having commander, two versions of the smouldercone not increasing heat). If they continue going through the list in order, I'd expect them to reach and perhaps finish the Nation list for the next patch, which might not be that long way off considering that the Fomorian nation is almost finished.

Edi does have a color-coding system for reporting more severe problems; perhaps you should ask him to let you color-code the bugs so that the important stuff are fixed first. The ones that got broken in earlier patches (3.04, 3.06), as an example.

Cainehill: I didn't even remember the tab-research request any more! I don't know WHERE Illwinter are supposed to check things like that. It doesn't even seem to be listed in the Dom4 Wishlist thread... And also, as Reverend reminds us, there are still a host of bugs left to be fixed.

The shortlist is going to get reworked now that the new patch is out. However, I do not have unlimited time, so it is going to have to wait until next week before it gets completely sorted. A lot of issues are going to get color-coded at that point. The reorganization will also clear up the way the things are now sprinkled haphazardly around.

The C'tis Tomb Wyrm issue is going to get a higher priority.

As for the "tab-hide researchers" thing, unfortunately we are not going to get it back. Not for the tab key anyway. It has been requested by several people at several points and was a very popular feature. I would ove to have it back, but all indications from IW are that it is gone for good.

I make a post complaining about this issue after every patch in which it is not fixed; that would be one way they could determine what should be a high priority.
