Default Re: The biggest problem with Dom III

Good points Xietor. I have a similiar opinion.

The only difference is that i think easy to mod things that take not much time (= less than at maximum 1-2 hours) i prefer to mod myself to exactly my liking.

Things like improving the AI and giving players more choices are not specialized requests, but would benefit all players and should be done by developers in a patch.
I would be very happy if especially the AI and the UI would get some additional improvements too .

If the AI would for example build somewhat useful SCs or pick decent blesses and use them would be great.
Or waypoints and other features that decrease the micromanagement.

Default Re: The biggest problem with Dom III

Another game i play at times WOW, actually does a good job of reviewing forum suggestions, and implementing the good ones in patches. Obviously, with a game base that huge, there are numerous suggestions they disagree with and do not implement,
but the ones that they agree with, you see frequent patches tweaking the game.

WOW obviously has a bigger staff, and players pay a monthly fee, so their expectation to new content is a bit different.
Dom III players do not pay a monthly fee, so our expectations are rightly less, in terms of constant patches.

But the answer is, of course, you make the improvements, then sell an add on, so you can recoup some of your investment in time.
