I'll add a couple tips for new players as well: -Stay near (mostly behind) your creep wave and rack up the XP by staying near enemy creeps that die. Don't go wandering off far from the creep wave, that'll just lower your total XP and as a new player you don't want to fall behind in demigod levels. -For the first couple of games, play defensively. Stay behind your creep wave and preferably near range of your towers. Even yield the flag in the lane to the enemy at

Does GreenReaper always wear green? Or did he just do it for the video?

a random option would be nice

The favor items could use a bit of rebalancing. When I saw them all there's maybe 4 that'd I'd even consider using and the rest are relatively junk. The +15% movement boots are probably one of the best, since you can't really buy any item for gold that's better. There's the +10% move boots, and +15% move boots available. Also, its hard to stack move speed since there aren't many items that have move speed bonus available. Other favor items that give +mana or +health, provide s

yeah I wouldn't want a teammate that was yellow either.... Click on an empty slot and then 'occupy' and it'll move you into that color slot. No need for you to be top 1st/spot always.

Beaten to the punch :).

I can join the bet by pre-ordering Elemental next week instead if that's acceptable... money still goes to Stardock right [e digicons]:P[/e] . Poor GPG.

Some of the connectivity issues (all during custom games): #1 Sometimes 2 people in the game lobby are red 0ms even though if you look under connection info, the two people are both in each other's 'connected to:" list. If they're not connected to each other they are almost always going to be red 0ms, but I've had it happen even when both were 'connected'. I also noticed that usually when 1 person tries to reconnect to the server due to a red 0 ms person, they'll still

Wait a few more days at least. There are more updates forthcoming. Today they upgraded server capacity and made joining games easier, but there are still a couple remaining connectivity issues remaining, namely 0ms/red people still in the lobby, some crashing while joining games, and occasionally there's unexpected dropouts during a gane where half the players drop out instantly for no apparent reason. Probably other issues too. Gameplay is fun overall, but for most people, unless you

I'm not sure why Stardock didn't kindly ask Gamespot (and other sites) to delay the review by a week with the current state of the game. A reviewer should review the build of the game as it is and not on any future promises. Some games (Age of Conan) promise "miracle patches" that fix everything wrong with the game that never materialize even months/years after, so you can't expect a reviewer to review a game on what it will or won't be in the future. But for multiplayer-heavy games,

If you want to play online you should come back in a week or two. Your experience would likely be better than it is right now. You'll probably spare yourself from some anger/distress too [e digicons]O:)[/e] . Overall the game plays well when you finally get into a match, but connecting to matches is much more of a pain than it should be.

Don't be in a huge rush to play online just yet as there are still connection issues to be fixed. It should get improved over the next few days/weeks, but right now it takes much longer than it should to find playable games and the connection issues detract a bit from the experience. But single-player works out quite well and is quite stable. Games tend to last about 30minutes in length and are quite 'action-packed' without much downtime.

yep same for me: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at address 0x0222d4ef attempted to read memory at 0x09dae000 Posted 3 different crash reports: Crash 1: after successfully connecting to a game I opened up the connection info screen and locked up/crashed 10 seconds later. Crash 2 & Crash 3: both crashed while attempting to connect while having connection info opened http://pastebin.com/m32557db2
