Received a twitch prime email:
I wish it was more fun to play with keyboard and mouse.
I wonder why they aren't just calling it a time limited demo
Mouse and keyboard is slightly better if only for faster camera movement. You lose nothing over a controller. Though, I agree, game being lock-on based takes away alot of the potential fun there could've been on a mkb scheme.I wish it was more fun to play with keyboard and mouse.
Yesss! They needed to do this. This is one of those games you have to play to understand it. Watching videos of it, I was kinda like "looks cool but would probly get boring after an hour or so." I played the Alpha and Beta and now I have the Gold edition pre ordered. Can't wait for more ppl to get their hands on it. Just PLEASE fix the servers. I feel like they're screwing this game over by not having dedicated servers :/.
I agree, I had no issues with lag during this beta and don't really care if they add dedicated servers, but if it helps with PR I'm all for it. I want the game to have a healthy playerbase.Yep, I've been saying this for awhile. When people were comparing it to Ryse here on Neogaf during E3 my eyes almost rolled out of my sockets. The game has a really great combat system and its a lot of fun to play.
As to the dedicated servers business, I had very limited issues for most of the beta. At the beginning I had some legitimately terrible server lag and some other problems but they really fixed a lot of those with maintenance. I feel like dedicated servers with this game would be more about positive PR than anything because there are issues with dedicated servers too. Someone will always have an advantage depending on how close or far you are away from the server location. I also believe they aren't using a strict peer to peer setup, it's something different but I know a lot of people are worried about the servers.

That would be amazing, I'd definitely want dedicated servers for that.Only thing I want dedicated servers for is to enable massive elimination matches with like 20 people, like Chivalry.
I didn't really have serious connection issues when I played it. I saw one guy teleport...but maybe that's a spell?

None shall survive my blade.
Played the closed Beta, and it was... OK. The complex combat system is nice but the overall gameplay got really repetitive and somewhat boring really fast. While playing the main mode (4v4), getting into 1v1 duels is rare. You are constantly being ganked or ganking. Very chaotic and somewhat confusing. It was hard to utilize the combat system to its fullest when you are just swinging quick attacks trying to survive being mauled by 3 people, loosing all stamina, and dying. Also, no matter what anyone says, some characters are OP. Then there is the 2v2 and 1v1 modes. I have not heard of any other modes. If that is the case, not worth $60.
If you do pick it up, make sure you have few friends to play with who you can talk to and strategize and take objectives together, or you will be seeing alot of what i mentioned above.
There are 2 other 4v4 modes. Elimination and Skirmish. There is also a single player campaign. There is also a DLC that can be unlocked by playing the game with 6 new characters, new maps and possibly new game modes.
The way people currently play Dominion is like people in a shooter who play Capture the Flag like their playing team death match, or when people in Overwatch don't play the objectives. They are not playing objective based gameplay at all and roaming around in gank squads is generally not the most effective use of your time. I think part of that is that it's not explained very well in game and that's it beta and people just don't know. I think in time people will have a much better understanding how to play. I spent a lot of time playing Dominion this weekend and had a lot of fun simply playing the game as its meant to be played and winning the majority of the time.

Wonder how much content will be in this one, hopefully we'll get the whole shebang.

I will definitely play in the open beta, at least what little I can play before work and sleep pulls me away. I played in the closed beta, and I really enjoyed myself!
Hopefully Ubisoft gives players access to every hero. Three of them were missing in the closed beta!
