Ok, thanks. I'm at work so I couldn't check 
. Really wanna try it out.
. Really wanna try it out.Bummer on launch issues. I was playing when it launched for 4 hours and had zero problems, lag, or anything. Just talking with some guys and someone who played another version was giving me heads up on a lot of stuff.
Melee targeting like I said isn't the best. I'd like some animations to be shorter too so I can dodge some of those bigger guys easier. And if you get too many mobs together if you jump on one guy you will 'crowd surf' and get hit a lot. No fun.

Huntress isn't bad at all, she just can lay fire + gas to hold them and pretty much kill any wave.Ceebs said:

Hey, guys!
The patch is now live. Hopefully this will alleviate some of the disconnecting and character wiping. It's looking on good on our end. Please let us know if this continues to happen.
We're sorry about the launch issues. We're working as hard as we can to get everything smoothed out.
I'll keep you guys posted on any additional patch details.

We're still working on the disconnects, but it looks like the patch fixed the character wipes.Euphor!a said:
Thanks for keeping us updated. I'll update this thread with any additional patch updates as soon as they're available.
In a way, I think this game has everything I like about Orcs Must Die.... just split over 4 characters.
When I played alone, as the Squire, I felt no synergy with my traps at all. I really enjoyed the melee personally (The "Auto-target onto what you're hitting, instant-block if you get into trouble" worked realy well for him), but his traps just held stuff back, and didn't offer that "cause a concusive chain og fun!" feel from OMD.
But then I pulled my brother into playing... And he set up Mage Fireball towers behind my barriers. It was like making mini-trenches anywhere we wished. Or paring my attack barriers with his Ability drain ones...
Later on, we tried a Huntress with a Monk. (I'm really sorry if there's no 3rd person view with the huntress on other platforms... I barely see how she can work at full potential without it!) The D.O.T fields of the Monk mesh so well with the A.O.E effects of the Huntress. Since everything they have effects wide areas, we were able to trail enemies through stuns and slows all day, letting the significant enemies who survive finally be felled by the Huntress ability to snipe all over the battlefield. Considering the poor Squire has no ability to shoot at all, this was very freeing. The Monk looked to be a solid hybrid character, with his ability to shoot as well as melee with ease.
Really looking forward to getting in deep with the game. It's colorful style is very plesant to me (messy in a way, yes, but it kinda reminds me of old PC of 16 bit games, which had a lot of garish tones and design choices, but they all made it fun and light-hearted), and I love the fact that your handdrawn character art actually takes on the custom colors you put onto your 3D model (I wish this was standard in all games!). Huge weapons, victory cheers from the characters upon winning, substantial changes when you level something up... it just feels like the underlying details are getting everything right, overall.
Looking forward to playing more later in the day!

If you have an anti-virus program running, it could be an issue with that. Try disabling it and run the install again.notsol337 said:

bad gameplay lol
Played a bunch today, both offline and online splitscreen with a friend. It really feels like Trendy thought of everything when it comes to playing multiplayer. Just a great experience.
One thing I'd like to know, though, is if it's possible to change your character's color and crystal shape post-creation.
Other than that small thing, though, I absolutely LOVE the game and will definitely spend a ton of time with it.
(Also, is cross-platform play up and running? If so, how does that work?)

Cross-platform play is something we're trying to have up soon. It's going to be unranked, and it's going to use GameSpy's servers. We use GameSpy for PC/PS3/mobile. At any time, players can switch between GameSpy servers and Steam servers through the configure option on the launcher.Seraphis Cain said:
As soon as cross-platform is available, we'll make sure everyone knows about it. (My boss just said that, "We'll vomit it all over the Internet." He's a little more colorful with the language.)

Actually, TrendyNet is going under maintenance right now. It will be down for the next 30 minutes, and hopefully that fixes the errors.
(And sorry for the dp. I wanted to make sure that everyone saw the update.)
(And sorry for the dp. I wanted to make sure that everyone saw the update.)
Made new Trendy.net characters, played until the end of the first area, disconnected.
Reconnected after a minute, played until the end of the first area, disconnected.
This game could be so good, I hope you guys get it working with this next maintenance If you could do us a favor and let us know when the maintenance is finished on here I'd love to give it another stab. For example we were playing up until about a minute ago so not sure if maintenance just started or what the deal is.

Thanks for working hard to fix the servers and keeping us updated. Just bought 2 copies of the game for my friend and I, we hope to be able to play Open at least. We will double dip when the game gets released on Euro PSN, shame it wasn't out today.

Did you get kicked on the final wave?Ceebs said:
I completed a level successfully, finally. No more kicks yet for me.
I'm not even getting an invest button on anything, even when it glows blue. I see Investment right above the gauge but nothing is clickable. Dunno what the deal is. I'm stupid or blind.

Make sure that the weapons/gear you are trying to level can be leveled. It will say "Level 1/8" or something like that if it can be leveled.xelios said:
Hitmonchan107 said:
It can. I have gear and a pet that can be leveled, but I only see the gauge at the bottom with "Investment" above it, and it tells me how much mana I have banked and how much it takes to level the item. Nothin' to click on though.
