Yeah, I'm that guy
I'm working on the fixes personally.And just to point people to the right place for feedback:

my quote from the OP:
"Disclaimer: I cannot comment on any possible fixes, as that type of action requires many more people, technical hurdles, and all sorts of things beyond my individual control. I am seeking feedback here as the owner of the camera system, and because I want to get a clear sense of what you, the player, are experiencing."
But you can be confident that I'm fighting like hell for this fix. "If" is just a word I have to say because it's not in my power to promise anything here.

Preordered (On Steam)! Can't wait!
I may or may not have done it for the ridiculous TF2 hats.

I think if we bang our heads together we can come up with a better one.
The current one makes it seem like everyone in the thread is raging (in a bad way) about the game.

Waiting on a price drop. Nice OT though.

Well you're definitely doing the right thing, but it sounds like it's a bit out of your hands.
I know Curt and some other guys have eyes on this thread, as well as the one on your forums. Can't help but feel like this needs to be aired out as something that is definitely going forward. For the sake of this game's word of mouth, the sooner that happens the better.
Doesn't seem like it. I'm getting it on Steam just for convenience.

I dont even feel like playing anymore games right now until Reckoning comes out. First time this has happened to me, when waiting for a game.

Hopefully next time around us European fans will get a CE/LE. I would have snapped one of those up right away.
I would not worry to much about it if you want it on steam. The pre order items seem nice but your likely going to grow out of them very quickly. The dowsing rod seems like it could be pretty useful though in the right situation.
Everywhere except Steam.
Only the weapon pack. The Armor pack is a Gamestop exclusive.
Somehow I missed that he even mentioned the armor pack. That one is Gamestop, and Amazon has a divining rod exclusive thing that helps you find crafting materials in the overworld or something like that.

I have to admit, this is like a kick in the nuts. Here's hoping you win the fight and fixes come soon.It's definitely not going to be changed day 1. We're working on some tweaks, but I cannot guarantee when or if it will happen (but I'm very persuasive, so it probably will). Purchasing the game would speed that decision along though...
Here is my build for the Universalist Destiny.
Might
Longsword Mastery: (Rank: 6 / 6)
Harpoon: (Rank: 1 / 4)
Skillful Defense: (Rank: 5 / 5)
Greatsword Mastery: (Rank: 6 / 6)
Quake: (Rank: 5 / 5)
Adrenaline Surge: (Rank: 1 / 5)
Hardy Constitution: (Rank: 6 / 6)
Concussive Force: (Rank: 5 / 5)
Aftershock: (Rank: 5 / 5)
Finesse
Dagger Mastery: (Rank: 6 / 6)
Longbow Mastery: (Rank: 6 / 6)
Assassin's Art: (Rank: 6 / 6)
Faeblade Mastery: (Rank: 6 / 6)
Drawpower: (Rank: 5 / 5)
Envenomed Edge : (Rank: 6 / 6)
Smoke Bomb: (Rank: 4 / 4)
Blade Honing: (Rank: 5 / 5)
Sorcery
Staff Mastery: (Rank: 6 / 6)
Storm Bolt: (Rank: 6 / 6)
Chakram Mastery: (Rank: 6 / 6)
Conservative Casting: (Rank: 5 / 5)
Healing Surge: (Rank: 5 / 5)
Chain Lightning: (Rank: 5 / 5)
Ice Barrage: (Rank: 5 / 5)
Frostshackle: (Rank: 1 / 5)
I plan to use 2 sustained abilities with a heavy focus on stun and the damage dealt to stunned enemies. I was left with 2 throw away points that I put into Adrenaline Surge and Frostshackle.
This build heavily depends on the Mastery of Arms bonus. So if I understand it correctly I'll unlock all Brutal, Precise and Arcane Weaponry IV's. If not then it's back to theorycrafting.
Looking at the build I might have overdone the Weapon Mastery ranks. This is me assuming I'll use just about every weapon. So later on I might remove some points or entire Weapon ranks and put them into new actives and upgrades for them.

Nice, hopefully there will be several big boss battles like this.

Skill trees look pretty interesting. I had quit the demo during the initial tutorial part because the game didn't seem very good; might have to give it another try.

you know.. if you wanted to "leak" an unofficial dll or something that would allow users the ability to configure the camera.. that would be fine for most of us.. though obviously the official stamp of approval (tm) would be the preferred situation.
Some people will find the game unplayable with the camera in it's current state unless there have been major camera improvements since the demo code (and not just fixing situations that place the camera under the game world)

I feel somewhat upset that I'm buying this for PS3 instead of PC, but I can't help that my PC decided now was a great time to take a shit. Oh well I'm sure it will still be fun, from what I've seen the PS3 version seems to be well done which is a nice refreshing change of pace from most PS3 ports.

Is post processing effects not supposed to work in the demo? Everything goes black.
They don't, you need to turn them off.
Dammit, I'm on my way to work ill have to fix it in the morning. Can some point me in the direction of another better service. One in english preferably.

Figures it happens after I leave.

Careful you don't get any old man dust on you.
That'll be an amusing event cause it's not that big of a GS store. They should get Ken to convince the Coldstone next door to give everyone free ice cream.
Yeah I'm trying to limit myself to 2 weapons per tree, but even that will be overkill. The 2- handed weapons in the Might tree aren't really my style. But there's too many points that need to be spent so it's either weaponry or more low-tier active skills I won't be using.

The one thing I absolutely hate about the game (that won't stop me from buying it) is the fact that incompatible enemy types work together to defeat me.
By that I mean, bears will attack me on site, but not any other human I lure near them.
Why does the bear ignore the guard attacking me, and only focus on me? Better yet, why is the bear planning its attacks in tandem with the guard?

I find it hilarious that the creature is shooting a large beam, yet the beam cannot rip apart those giant rocks. Talk about bad design.
Other than that, the game reminds me of GoW.

When using the keyboard, 1/2/3 are all keyboard shortcuts for anything A/X/Y do on the controller, including stuff like directly adding to junk from inventory. So pressing 3 with something highlighted instantly dumps it into junk, 1 equips it, etc.

I for one, do not find it fun to learn from a mistake when my mistake involves not spending hours out of game number crunching to determine if I should go for +3% fire damage, or +8% to daggers.
Especially when the game is 100+ hours long. Do you really think it is fun to have to restart 80 hours into the game because you invested in the fire tree and it turns out Meteor is totally underpowered compared to some other high tier skill?
And not being able to respec in this game makes no motherfucking sense.
It's definitely not going to be changed day 1. We're working on some tweaks, but I cannot guarantee when or if it will happen (but I'm very persuasive, so it probably will). Purchasing the game would speed that decision along though...
Wait, so you are Joe Quadara? Pretty much you and Ian Frazier are the ones to really sell me on this game. I mean by watching both of you in the "Inside Reckoning" videos. That and the way everything has come together within the game. I hope the camera can get the tweaks needed for others. I can make due with what I get but I can see where the adjustments would enhance others enjoyment of the game.

Yeah, Bazooie is Joe.
Thanks. It's been a fun ride, this game is friggin huge.
Ian and I were just talking about the camera and how the feedback during development didn't come through nearly as strongly as it did on the forums when the demo was released. I think next time I want feedback during development, I'll just do some sort of neogaf invitation only thing or something.

I got the impression that the last place in the world Ken wanted to be was sitting there answering those questions. Not the best foot they could have put forward.

Argh, microstuttering when you connect an attack. Why do they do this?
