With speed debuffs capped at 1/3, slows should be easier to counter with speed items.

I don't think it's about out-dated hardware anymore, because since 1.1, it seems that there have been more games with negative sim speeds. In fact, every game I've played since the patch has seen someone in the negatives.

[quote quoting="post"] Hi all. A friend of mine is doing research for an article lobbying against anti video game laws and he needs more information. Specifically: Do you feel video games have stripped you of a life skill? Yes/No. If yes, which of these life skills do you feel you've been stripped of: Communication Self-esteem Passion - drive or will to do something Compassion - humanitarian for 'care'<br

[quote who="Zechnophobe" reply="11" id="2284019"]Also, it looks like the code allows for snipe to take any on hit damage buffs with it. That seems consistent with my memory (You can get maimed by a snipe from regulus). It does suddenly make me wonder if things like Gloves of Fel Darkur or wyrmskin gloves can proc on a snipe.

How exactly did you come to the conclusion that Reg was not meant to be a tower-killer? Were you there when they designed the game? Cuz I don't see anywhere that states Reg is officially not meant to be good at killing towers. Seems to me you want the DG to fit your perception, rather than to just play the DG for what it is. I mean, as TB, I can take a tower down pretty easily, too, with taking barely any damage.

Yep, have no problems upgrading priests early on. Although, I don't think it's as much a tide-turner. It's better used to turn up the heat.

[quote who="Sinzer" reply="8" id="2286666"]Pantheon also needs to be extended in points I think. 1000000 just doesn't feel like enough, would rather see it at 10000000, so there is a good duration for it. [/quote] Ouch. Are you familiar with comma usage in numbers? [e digicons]X|[/e]

[quote who="EricW." reply="18" id="2286930"]There is a built in randomness on most damage in the game that accounts for this discrepancy. It is a small amount, but will still result in what you're seeing. It is intentional.

LOL Zubaz, your response is priceless. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

We honestly need an "MMO" solution with a waiting-for-game chat (that works in and out of lobbies) so people can "LFG 3v3 premade" and invite people to private games. It's hard for premades to join a game because when it's a 3v3, and it's already filled up to 4 players, how can you get your team of 3 there?

[quote who="wnmnkh" reply="6" id="2286579"] Pantheon was terrible idea from beginning. [/quote] I think it was a great idea poorly implemented.

[quote who="Desamator" reply="14" id="2286395"]Maybe you guys should consult a developer and/or a tech guy around the forum, and/or file a complaint and see if its patched/resolved? [/quote] Is it that simple? Really? [e digicons]:drool:[/e]

I usually don't join without a location, and always put "US" in games I host. The location just indicates where it's hosted from, not who can join. If their ping is under 200, I let them stay. It simply cuts down on the trial and errors you have to go through while picking a custom game. I hate joining a "4v4" then realize they're hosting from Europe and I have a 250 ping, have to exit out, better luck next time. I am US West but I join East games (and sometimes CA games too), bu

[quote who="Melric" reply="5" id="2286094"] Quoting InfiniteVengeance, reply 4 That's because you get matched with AI in Pantheon and Skirmish. Of course they won't be saying anything. I had a Pantheon game the other day where a member on the other team kept cursing out the AI player in the global chat. We kept telling him that the player was an AI, but I dont think he figured it out until about midway through. [/quote] <

[quote who="Goggris" reply="10" id="2284739"]I acknowledge your point Shadow, though I don't see how this renders stats useless. In a team game like Demigod, the win doesn't solely depend on which individual player is better than another in a 1v1 setting. Players A, B, C can each independently be better than D, E, F, but if DEF work together better and plan out their strategy in the game then they can surely overcome individual skill. DEF would get the win, be hig

[quote who="Primal Zed" reply="4" id="2280904"] Just the other day had a teammate saying it was his first match. My other teammate and I convinced him out of Rook, so he went Queen. He focused on shield and support that match and (though the other team wasn't expressly bad) we pulled a win. I was pleased. (He did get the priest creep after I suggested he get priest minions. Since it was after the patch it wasn't a disasterous feed-the-other-team, it was just

We're talking about randomness in ability attacks, so let's stay on topic. Circle of Fire deserves its own thread. I'm pretty sure this particular issue has nothing to do with items that reduce damage as well as shield absorbs. It has been done on me before, and I was carrying nothing that should reduce the damage, so I'm pretty certain. Not to mention grunts don't use any sort of items or shields.

[quote who="Sylis" reply="22" id="2285029"]Some input on your last post: It doesn't keep me in the game and let me finish it out. It just automatically disconnects me entirely from everyone and gives me an auto win due to being against all AI. [/quote] It must keep your "game" alive somehow because how would the "game" communicate to the server that you're playing against all AI if you (the host) are physically disconnected? Does it report the game AFTER you have reset your

If by "expired" you mean that the cooldown was over in your consumable belt, that doesn't matter. You have to wait for the lock to physically disappear from the flag and cap it again. If the lock animation is still on the flag, you will indeed lose your lock that you just applied, effectively wasting it. Aside from that, I can't think of anything else other than an exploit that could do something like that.

Correct. Player A might beat player B in a 1v1 match, but player B might beat player A on a 3v3 if B is using voice, while A is not. A has better skills, but B has a better team.

I've noticed this too. I see pings of under 200 with decent sims but still get lag.

Is it consumed on use?
