That's true, I think. Either you skip it entirely and the battle is automated on the map or you go into the animations where you can see it unfold roll-by-roll or you just watch the animations automate.

There is no way to see just the rolls without the animation. Does it really matter since it's the computer rolling anyway?

flashburn

Bastard!

Is your Tag also superfro?

superfro

I sent you a request. I had been full at 100 for a LONG time, but some folks must've wised up in the last few weeks.

pinata242

Speaking of that. I just accepted a FR from FatalSpiderbite (brianluvdvd). After he's removed me at least twice in the past. This time, I will remove him before I'm rejected again!

superfro

Accept it, send him a message saying "Thanks....but no thanks.", and then delete him.

One peeve of mine, is people who send friend requests, where their name doesn't match their forum name, and they don't send me a message or give me any sort of indication of who they are. I got an invite from Bob##### but I don't have a damn clue on who he is. Sometimes I'll at least try to search the forums to try to find who they are, but I shouldn't have to investigate to find out who the hell a person is that wants to "friend" me.

pinata242

Yeah, I hate that too

PixyJunket

Friend categories would be nice (as would deleting games from your gamercard).

Both have been promised at different points (I think) but never delivered.

But hey, we have a new dashboard color scheme, the Indie Game store was hidden away in a corner and now you have to go through hoops to rate a game!

I'd like to be able to just push A and see the outcome of the roll instantly without having to fight to the death. It isn't the end of the world, but I think it just takes too long over the course of a game. It is like not being able to skip the attack animations in a turned based RPG. By the 20th time of seeing the same thing, you want to pull your hair out.

Liver&Onions

yeah, some dude names Spreg or something requested a friend, and i don't recognize his dvdtalk name either. Come out of the woodwork - and show yourself.

Trevor

Hate that as well. I get several requests a week, despite the fact that I hardly ever game. The only ones with messages are kids begging me to sell them my gamertag.

I think a DVDTalker has only put in a message indicating the forum once.

I just keep the word DVDTalk as my 'interests' or 'about me' or whatever that area is called. Anyone looking at my profile sees that. If we all did that, it would make things easier, and eliminate the need for messages in friend requests.

I just do auto fight for all the battles. They really should have added an option to retreat in the middle of auto fight though. Watching my army of 10 people die to 3 people is a joke. Once I got to 4 or 5 units I would have retreated if I had the option.

Michael Corvin

Kind of annoying, but you can still check their "Friends of," in their bio, and if their FL is populated with DVDtalk folk, you obviously know they are from here.

Groucho

Now I'm curious...?

My Live name is "Runner Groucho". People from this forum call me "Groucho". Everybody else calls me "Runner".

superfro

That's not at all what I call you.

pinata242

Does it fit in 21 characters?

flashburn

Sure, but that doesn't tell me WHO they are. Also, just because they are on DVDTalk doesn't mean I necessarily want to friend them.

superfro

This is probably my biggest complaint about anything ever.

Trevor

That's a good trick. Does it have a mutual friends section like Facebook?
I got in on the beta and somewhat regretfully picked Trevor as my gamertag. Now every jerky kid named Trevor who gets addicted to Xbox Live begs me for my gamertag.

Or I get constant requests and messages from people thinking I'm "their Trevor" and don't believe me when I say they have the wrong one.

pinata242

Yeah, until Friday

pinata242

It only costs $10 to change it. Why don't you just sell it?

Michael Corvin

Not exactly. It just lets you see their friends list, but if you recognize a ton of names, it's pretty clear they are from here.

Dammit, I'll send you a message next time. Happy?

flashburn

You are on my friends list though, aren't you?

fumanstan

No one ever tries to add me as a friend

*wonders what any of this discussion has to do with XBLA.
