I just hope the game is fully explained in the manual.It seems even some beta testers are not fully aware of the game features.

Better is expect too little than too more.
If your expectation is too high then even good game can make you feel disapointment.
If your expactaqtion is low even medicore game can make you feel like you find a diamond in mud.

Unfortunatley for me my hopes is still high.
Lucky for me my hype died yesterday.

I can see some bad signs but still I hope that this game is good.
This isnt about be optimistic or pessimistic. This is about to be realistic.

I said before: my hype died. Now I am somewhat pessimistic.

Also I think that most of(what we can see) betatesters arent very experienced or old school players. I would like see someone who can say something like that:"I hate this <XXX> freature." If I see here only yes, good, wonderfull that my awarness is making noise.

But that is me.

Also copy paste man is killing my mood here. Minor inconvince but still.

A very bad sign indeed. Let me fix that. Seriously, I've seen this before and I think you all need to relax a bit. We are all very excited about DW and I think you will enjoy it too.

Maybe it's a code from Erik...

Image of a rainbow... what's at the end of the rainbow? GOLD! Maybe he's trying to tell us the gold version of DW is ready? [X(]

NOTE: The above is a joke!

Gotta save those trees, I'm glad it's PDF!
Wait a sec? Save the trees? WTF are you on? I mean you are online correct? Being online means using electricity. You will be using electricity to be playing the game. You are doing more harm surfing the net than reading a book. [:-] Espically if you are in the US wich keeps using coal fire to produce electricity.

[:'(] Just kidding, having some fun.

Seeing the last picture with the house in the small hill,   depends on how you see it,  and probably you wont see golden gold where the rainbow is coming from. It could be a bad sign...

...either way, ive been waiting something like this in a game, large and conquering the stars like a crazy man, and I still play Stars! the poorly graphical game, still the game is good in this days\ but since then when the Stars! Supernova game was canceled because of bankruptcy and lack of support, i haven't seen something decent around, even so some of them are ok and i still play them.
*That* is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence.

So true, agree 100%
I want the game to be good so I (futile attempt at capitalizing the word I to emphasize it, damn english!!) can have something new and fun to play [:D]

Oh so that means using nuclear power then eh? (see I am Canadian eh LOL) So you nuke the planet now. [:D]

Ok, serious now, did Matrix say they will release the manual for download before we buy?
