List : Bugs or Exploits that needs to be adressed.

April 23, 2009 9:21:19 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Ok I'd like to sum up in a single post, all the gameplay bugs/exploit in the game right now, and hopefully it'll be easier for the devs to notice them than having to search every single post.

If you have found some more just reply I'll edit the post. It's not about balancing the game, I think it's really too soon for that.

Graphics:

-While using the shadow settings on LOW, after an alt-tab the game is very dark. And you have to reboot it to fix it.

 

Multiplayer Lobby:

- Sometimes you push the join game button, it enters another game or asks for a password. I think it's due to how the selection is kept in memory after a refresh. It's probably a integer index of the item in the list, then when it refreshes it's not the same game anymore.

Units behaviour:

- Sometimes after issuing an order the demigod won't respond and just stand there doin nothing.(High)

- Melee pets don't hit a moving target, need a small buff of their attack range.

- Sometimes after issuing an attack order the pets or the DG won't chase the target and just go back hitting whatever is close to them. I think it's related to the above bug.

- In Exile, the pathfinding of the pets is broken. Can't explain properly without a replay, I'll try to get a screenshot or video.

 

Generals Demigod:

- If you buy an Idol rank 1 , summon and sell it, and then buy another rank you'll be able to summon the pets.
Ie : You can have all 8 Melee + 8 Priests + 8 Sieges.

- Queen of Thorns Achievements : Kills are counted as packed and unpacked at the same time.
- Queen of Thorns : she should have a slower attack when she closes, faster attack when opened. When freshly spawned she has the correct speed. After closing and opening again, the attack speed stays on the closed (slower) values. It resets again if QoT gains a level while opened. http://forums.demigodthegame.com/348086

- Erebus : He can kill himself with his poisoned blood and earn money for the kill.

 

Assassins Demigod:

 

Items:

- Heart of Life : effect should be canceled when you receive a HIT not Damages. Exploit possible with Oak invulnerability.
- Heart of Life : effect is canceled if healed.
- Wand of Speed : Activating it should'nt make you stop while running.

That's the point of the post, summing up all the very frustrating bugs in one place so that it's easier for them to find

One more bug with heart of life -- shouldn't stop on a heal, only on damage -- e.g. if a priest/sedna heals you, it stops heart of life.

That happens with the UB too. Though I believe it's probably related to the above mentioned/quoted bug

- Heart of Life : effect should be canceled when you receive a HIT not Damages. Exploit possible with Oak invulnerability, and possibly with Queen of thorns(Need confirmation).

This does not happen with the Queen. If the Queen is hit (shield or not) then the Heart of Life will stop.

Noticed the same thing on Rook this morning. I was low health, popped heart and it just dissapeared? No healing, nothing.

Just noticed another related bug with heart of life -- any health increase at all stops it. For example, picking up a potion and drinking it.

I really feel the heart of life is way too strong an item for being so cheap.

The friend I play with... his grasp on UB fails to go off like half the time. We lose out on alot of kills because of this.

I have noticed with both Erebus' Bite and UB's grasp, both these abiities seem no to go off a lot.  I have read several posts stating that they cannot hit a moving DG.  Cnt verify this for sure, as it is often hard to tell, but they definitely fail to "go off' enough that there is clearly some bug somewhere.

This should not be in the Developer Journals section.  Please move it by editing your original post.

No one mention erebus mist + heart of life? (although it dont recover hp, but he can recover mana and stay there for...)

How about teleporting in and out? Essentially you will be fighting wave and waves of erebus.

Nerf heart of life straight, that thing is broken as far as I can see. All who got it play on even level, all who didn't will lose every game. I don't think demigod should be centered around heart of life.

Actually, HEART OF LIFE makes playing easier for everyone. If you have the brains you will buy it, and when you buy it you won't have to run all the way to the healing crystal every fegin time. Do you know how annoying and time consuming it is to go back to the crystal every time you are near death.

SINCE EVERYONE CAN USE IT, I DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM WITH IT.

That's a paradox, because we need replays too, so we can show the bugs/exploits (and also help with play balance).

Two things to add:

1)  alt+click to attack move does wierd things.   Works kind of well with ranged units.  Melle units tend to walk straight to the destination.

 

2)  Erebus can batswarm across the gap on Crucible and capture your portal flag.  (idunno if that's a bug or a feature)

Link?  I've never seen a dev post directly acknowledging that it's an exploit.  I've seen frogboy say they're going to change it but that was a post from the beta.

AI needs to be more conservative and prioritize health items more. I assume this would be a relatively quick change. It has no comprehension of burst damage, which really cripples it against humans. Having more health and retreating sooner would make it feed less.
