About AL: Don't worry guys, as soon as the forums come back up AL will go back to douching it up there. Until then just put up with him lol.

I've experienced NONE of this. This person is either lying, or experiencing issues specific to them (ISP/hardware/etc). My guess is that this post is coming from a forum QQ'er that got banned or just wants to spread more misinformation about CO.

Launch has been good, the headstart event was frustratingly bugged, but the game is stable.

My only issue with the early start program is that in addition to getting retail specific in-game items (like action figures / costume pieces), the head start event gives out another set of bonuses that includes MORE action figures, MORE costume pieces AND special "perks," that are only available to the head start crowd and only available to get between now and sep 1. Seems like the head start people get 3x more for their pre-orders compared to everyone else (2 sets of bonus items and being able to play early. If they had made that clear from the start then I would have tried to dodge Amazon :-(

never would pay for it.

more to the point I would be disappointed in xbl and the 1 v 100 brand

Okay, well you guys can continue to spend your $15 bucks on buggy "creative" software. Meanwhile, I'll invest my money into games by companies that don't take 6+ months to deliver half of what was promised (online play that doesn't wipe your save data) and 1+ year(s) to release bug fixes to leaderboards that are obviously being hacked. The game has been out a year and it's still plauged with *common* bugs (just check youtube keyword: castle crashers bugged).

What really get's me about this is that between then and now they somehow found a way to release the kings pack (and probably the necro pack later this month). Gotta love a "creative" company that continues to milk a game they don't continue to support.

Indie or not, if one of the big ticket publishers / game companies like EA did this, then you can bet you wouldn't be hearing any apologists claiming that a games "creativity" somehow justifies it's inability to function as it was intended (through shotty programing). No, you would hear about the evils of EA and their corporate machine.

I just want more Castle Crashers content please!

Or at the very least do something about all those -1 exp and lvl 256 hacked savefiles.

Or maybe fix any of the 25 or so major bugs in Castle Crashers.

Or maybe just support your existing IP's instead of putting all of your time and money into future buggy and broken games that Behemoth wont support because they've once again put all of their time and money into making another game.

I get that the company is small and all, but thats not an excuse to ignore support for their games, and if anything it's made me not want to buy from them in the future.

Winning this will have a Mass Affect on my happiness!!!

Mike, I applaud you for posting your spec and the detailing the reasons for each talent choice. It takes a lot of guts to open yourself up for critique to a community that tends to be low on tact. Your build emphasizes a key philosophical ideal on gameplay that seems highly debatable- namely that hybrids ought to spec in a way which allows them to fill in for dissimilar roles during a single encounter, or alternatively, focus on your gear to determine your role (you mention dpsing in 5 mans or raid healing on weekends with a simple gear switch). There are many many many arguments for and against this ideal, and it seems to me that most of the point-blank-in-your-face responses listed in these comments are from people who fundamentally disagree that a hybrid ought to attempt the type of "fill in the hole" gameplay it seems you're in favor of. I think a lot of people missed the part where you said that this is what you want to do.

Having said that, and with all due respect, it seems very silly for this build to be on display before wowinsider even gets a chance to show what the good solid cookie cutter builds are for each class/role. It's easy to look at this, which is only the second shammy buildshop, and think that you guys don't really know what you're talking about... simple because wowinsider
hasn't properly addressed what the accepted/theorycrafted builds are for raiding and pvp. It's not difficult to do, others mentioned hopping on the shammy boards and simply reporting the work that other people have done, but on here. Do that, and then toss us some builds like this inbetween updating what the most current cookie cutter builds are (because they do change, even if it is only a little bit at a time). On the off chance that you guys are worried about running out of builds too report on too soon, why not just report on a single talent or talent level and really examine those talents in some detail? Doing this would be a lot of fun for a lot of people, and it would definitly help a lot of people to understand when it is good to take Ancestral Knowledge and when to skip it for instance.

Poorly made, poorly scripted. 1/10 for the funniest moments.

People come here to see the videos, news and events that STAND OUT against crap like this. I understand that if there isn't anything new that comes out, then wowinsider will have to throttle down it's posts. I'm comfortable with that. Your readers are comfortable with that. Please don't post videos for the sake of posting. If I wanted to sort through all the wow video crap myself, I could easily do a "wow machinima" search on youtube.
