Yea, now that you mention it, I went to check and there was an 11mb patch this morning.

Here's one more thing for modding:
Awards (or medals if you prefer that name) are capped to level 3. as reported here. Please remove that cap or at least bump it to five so there's some room to play with.

There is a 45 page long Bug thread now, and the game has barely been out 3 weeks... That has to be a new record. The last time I have seen such a bugfest was with Temple of Elemental Evil, and that game was self-admittedly released well before it was finished at the urge of the publisher. Oh, and Heroes of Might and Magic Online (the Chinese MMO), but then, I'd barely call a strategy game that requires you to LOSE as many troops as you can to upgrade them a "game". More like a chore.

I now wonder - what reviews did the game got so far online? I figure most reviewers would just start it and add their review instantly without delving into it, thinking "this is the fourth game in the same installment, and at first look, looks and works the same as the 3 before it..." - but if they do a more through walkthrough, they will discover some of the more fatal and annoying bugs? Because in that case, expect scores of 1-2 or 20%.

Which brings me to the question we all have been asking... does 1C even care? The game is unplayeable right now due to the horrible amount of bugs, there is no official reaction so far about a patch, and people who bought the game should be rightfully pissed. It should not be up to the players to discover and fix bugs.

I wonder if this will have any impact on the testers of the game, who - we can say this with utter certainity - have done a really shoddy job.

I think you're wrong at full.

First they pinned the bug topic and let the community discuss it.
Other companies, thrust me, don't do the same and even ban whoever criticize their product.

Game is playable, only need to be fixed in some part.
Also, they relase an official patch and you can use the community workaround for other problem.
Read all this discussion, please.

Yes and no.
Because you can always ask a steam refound, if you are unhappy. So...

Have you ever before make a game test?
You can work 1000 hours and not discover any bug because dozen of factor come at hand.
Also, you need founds to test 100% your product and no game company nowaday can affort this, because develope a game cost time, resource, maketing, and you must pay in advance only (sadly) to discover someone has blocked you game because in their country censorship o market got different standard.

Pal, you can wine if you want, but the best choice in this scenario is to do a contribution to make a good game even better or whait until the bug are fixed in full (1-2 month, and you get a shortened price as well)

Be calm

[Mandea]

Other companies, trust me, don't ask 30euro for a product with so many bugs.

it has nothing to do with wine, spare us this bullshit please.

1000 hours and no bugs? come on, this is ridiculous, I've encountered at least 20 different bugs in 80hours playtime. I don't believe there is a single person who hasn't while playing WOTN. the game is riddled with bugs. this game hasn't been tested, period. not 100%, not even 30%.
if you are happy with this game you should stop posting because the problems obviously don't concern you.

How much are they paying you to post this crap???

[Colbert30]

I noticed units retaliating more than they normally should with the last hero spell cast by the skald unit. I don't remember reading that on the spell description. Is that intended?

I'm not happy, i just try to make the game better for my enjoyment

Nothing. I can assure you.
I simply liked the Kb series from the beginning, and want this game working 100% and a next episode as soon as possible.
Keep the dev motivated is a way to get it.

ice dragons are now gaining charges of ice minion on kills! Check that one off.

[camelotcrusade]

@Zechnophone, got it.

Two questions for the patch users out there:

1. Do rune mages have no ranged penalty now? I forgot I bundled that in with their other bugs so if they still have a ranged penalty I need to put that part back on the list.
2. Today when selling in the castle it will let me scroll to the right exactly one box, effectively show only the top row of my inventory. What's it doing for people who have restarted and have a big inventory? For me the bug didn't start appearing at all until I got to the 3rd of stuff, so you may not see it yet if you restarted (or maybe they fixed it).
