Are you aware that you're praising a 3 second video put on repeat ? How could a town screen(even 2D) that shows every building, has animations on it and weather effects(if i remember right) be a downgrade from a video on loop ? I swear the more of your posts i read the more facepalm moments i have.
I suspect the image will be full-sized and animated.
But hey, it's an idiotic request, so that's okay, eh?
Let me, as per my usual habit nowadays, correct you. YOU felt that town screens were not necessary, and YOU consider them to be a silly thing to request. This does not make them objectively idiotic. This merely causes you to think that this is a silly decision. That's fine. Your opinion on this is valid. But it's not automatically idiotic because you don't like it. Most of us are quite pleased they're finally coming around, if far too late.
To me, the town screens represent the slight separation between going into your city and back into the 'world'. In older games, you went INTO your city. In this one, you pulled up a quick non-interactable image. I've been more excited for Excel-spreadsheets. Yeah, they looked nice. Ish. But they weren't what I wanted. Town screens like this are, to me, a definite improvement.
Please note my insertion of 'to me' there. Others may disagree. They're at liberty to do so. That does not make either them or me idiotic.
although i like the necro town screen that i saw, and i ti gives us a heroes 3 taste with the 2D effect, the current town screens are rather pracrical and the video on loop is not so bad in my opinion. i do see how great the TS are but they were not THAT necessairy in general. i'd rather have the dynasty weapons fixed and the option to reset my progresss and connect to the souldforge and the conflux in its full potential. still each one of us has a differnet opinion and i do agree that we must express it in a nicer way. i just want to say that i was a little surprised when i saw so many complaints about TS when the game reeks of bugs even now 4 patches later. so my opinion on this is that TS are welcome but not enough in the current situation the game is in.
This is fair enough. Personally I'm quite happy that the town screens are finally back, and frankly, I found the ones in Heroes VI to be poorly done, interface-wise, but that's preference. I definitely agree that I'd rather have seen some of the more obnoxious bugs fixed first though. While it's funny to use Arachne on occasion, it's just cheating as it is now, and quite a few other bugs are just as irksome at present.
i still can't get over that i can't really reset my progress! am i getting too obsessed with it? i think every game has a reseting progress thingy!
Well, it's clearly a feature you'd very much like to see implemented. I don't disagree either, it'd be a very nice feature to have, especially if I wanted to restart if/when they finally fully fix the game, so I can play the full experience.
While i do agree, and keep saying, that they need to fix the bugs and stuff before any serious extra content, in this one case i'l be happy with what i can get. I understand that some people are happy with that stupid, in my opinion, video on loop, but for me, you have to understand, it kills all feeling of immersion, and, in some cases, i've noticed it slows down the game for a few seconds since it needs to start up the **** loop. I understand that some people disliked, hated, whatever, the old town screens, but, from what i've seen since the game launched, it's been one of the missing features most complained about. And lets be honest here, the town screens are not the reason we are not getting more bugfixes, i bet you they took a whole of a lot less resources away from fixing the game than that DLC did...
Nah, that was nothing. There was one guy who said that some minor graphical glitches, like some animations not showing up, were critical, game-breaking and that they should be fixed post-haste.
this!
