Wasn't the biggest complaint the horribly slow scroll speed when you have the cyborgs or whatever?
Has anyone played this and liked it?
The biggest complaint (at least for myself) was the very VERY slow and frustrating walking speed and the ability to run for, let's say, 10 seconds in a row before being exhausted. Oh, yes, and the cyborg cannot run at all..
So, basically, it could take as much as 5 whole minutes to cross the big (very empty) maps without doing nothing apart from walking.

Anybody knows if something about this has been changed since 1.0 ? Or is about to change ? (maybe in 1.7 ?).

It says that the map speed was increaes dramatically in this patch. I am curious to see if that makes the game worthwhile....

As I understand it, it's only the scrolling speed (when moving the camera around), not the speed of you party, actually.

Blah, that is retarded. It is such an easy thing to fix. Companies stupid like that just don't deserve to be in business.
