Sorceresse

In the OP of the thread he is refering to, in his previous post, this quote of Stardock CEO [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e] answers the OP of the present thread : « We absolutely do not want to do any more "betas" [as was the update of today, on May the 2nd]. The betas don't really solve our problems. We're getting rave emails of people in support today saying how this [May 2] beta "totally fixes connectivity". NO, it doesn't. The only reason it seems that way

That one, last evening, stretched-on for 98 minutes, at normal speed : http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/331449/player/11664/ It was originally a 4 v 4. Everything looked great in the game-setup lobby : all 8 green pings -- nobody above 175 ms, and most below 100. One player of my team8 dropped out during the loading of the game : we had to start with a normal A.I. But the game lingered on as a stalemate. Then, another

I was in the Beta, on & off (alternating with my dad), from the very start, 8 months ago. My dad ("CyberMage") and I were very happy, then : the game had a lot of features from the start, and it never once crashed. (The release version has crashed 5 times, in April, with debug-error windows popping up -- since we play the game in a window.) Even though we were very happy with the whole Beta process, we believed that the game was not ready to be released in April.<

I've been in contact with the Stardock employee "Bara" about the problem of the ranking stats not being correctly updated. It is a known issue, which has not yet been solved. Take my case, for example. If you do a search on the player "Sorceresss", you will learn that she only played ONE game and has a 0W / 1L record. But if you go to that player's "Games List", she is credited with 21 games. And according to me, even that list is incomplete, because, at the v

Well ... you're asking the best person around. Brad Wardell is an expert A.I. designer & programmer, as illustrated by his work in the 2 recent Galactic Civilzations series. Some people forget that he's not "just" the (all powerful) CEO of Stardock and a regular forum star (as "Frogboy" and "Draginol"), and that he is, first & foremost, a genius in A.I. design & coding. But ... I think he was not very much involved i

For the moment, you have to do this. Launch your IMPULSE , and wait for it to connect & identify your Account (there's a temporary, swirling icon in the top-right corner : it disappears when the account connection has been established).

[quote who="Takkik" reply="1" id="2176006"] Most people play fire (as myself) because they want lot of kills and underestimate the power of supports skills in a good team. When you play support you don't get lot of kills but you can make your team win! [/quote] Exactly! I have specialized in the Frost TB for on-line MP, and I get few kills, but I also rarely get killed. I accept to play a second-line, support role. For example, when I'm near a Citadel (m

[quote who="Takkik" reply="10" id="2175917"] I think that lot of people really need to forget the score/kills and focus more about fight as a team for gain the victory. Demigod isn't a deathmatch game! [/quote] I agree 100%. I've lost a few matches because some of my team8s were obsessed by FPS-style streetfigting against enemy DGs. I was even insulted once, on the team chat, by an ally who taunted me because I had not killed one single DG

The review was posted on 23 April. It grants DG an 8 / 8 : http://jaguarusf.blogspot.com/2009/04/demigod-review.html

[quote who="Takkik" reply="18" id="2172988"] Sorceresss why not open a fight with an erebus with the freeze touch that add +130% cooldown? With that Erebus cannot even escape. Then use your others skills and you'll be able I think to use again the freeze touch for the bonus damages. And team up with a dps dg for 100% kill. [/quote] Thxxx : I'll try that. But I'm still at the stage where I'm in awe & terrified by a competently played Erebus. [e digicon

[quote who="LookOverThere" reply="2" id="2173659"] Personally, the whole mage thing doesn't seem too far off like the TB (I've said this in a previous post). Maybe later on throughout the year the mage idea woul appeal more to me, however at the moment I would like to see awesome creative innovative NEW ideas. [/quote] I agree . Frogboy's New Demigod Concept of a Mage is not that new, and some of us expect a more original & daring

The old Impulse Account name was my dad's nick. With his permission (of course, since he pays), I changed it to my Stardock forums nick. That part was easy, but for over a month, even though I had succe

Oups .. I said "100% correct" in my previous post, but upon further examination, I am not so sure anymore. On the 24th, I was on the winning team of a Fortress-destruction game, on Cataract. I don't see it on the list of my 18 games. Perhaps it was mislabeled as a Conquest match. It was a memorable victory , in extremis : I'm certain it happened. In what concerns the debug-error text, my bad for not doing a copy/paste in Wordpad. It would have b

[quote who="innociv" reply="18" id="2170224"] [You think i]t's broken that a team with lower levels and less kills can win handily? Why? You think just because our level and kills where lower [see image in relply #63] we didn't have madder skills? It's strategy. [/quote] I agree. I've played with some guys who treat DG as a tactical FPS, with little overall vision of the victory objective of most games : destroying the en

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="4" id="2171012"] [1.] According to your games page it shows you played a lot of games on the 24th and 25th: http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/games/player/11664/ [2.] As far as the numbers (W/L) not being updated, that means a job isn't running as it should be to get the wins and losses. I'll take a look and see why that is. Bara[/quote] Thanxxx, Bara, for the reference : I didn't even know that

[quote who="AngryZealot" reply="9" id="2170109"] Every single game I've played as [Erebus] I've had the highest number of kills by a significant margin (2x or more). I go toe-to-toe with the Rook; often times I don't even bother moving out of the hammer slam. I can kill Sedna solo. Regulus barely tickles.

REPORT (update) : None of the 4 or 5 games I played Saturday the 25th were saved & recorded on the Rankings. I'm still stuck at 0W / 1L. Lucky me : those all were defeats. [e digicons]:D[/e]

[quote who="Tototot" reply="3" id="2169533"]It won't change your ingame nickname though.[/quote] You would have been right before April 24. It seems to have been fixed. You go into the Community section of Impulse and change your log-in nick. When you log in the Internet game, that Impulse nick is the one that must be used, and it is now supposed to be recognized in the lobby & the game itself. If it doesn't work immediately, a Stardock employee reco

[quote who="Crash486" reply="16" id="2169476"] However, his [= Erebus] weakness deffinately is TB. There's not much he can do against a fire TB standing in the middle of his fire ring. [/quote] That's interesting. As a icy TB I see myself as weak in a toe-to-toe confrontation with a skillful Erebus : I would not have considered the reverse. But your talking about the fiery TB, which I have never tried. (Not saying that you're wrong.) @ Takkik</stron

If I may put in my 2¢ ... I modestly say that because I enjoy playing the game to relax from very intellectual university stuff. I consequently don't have the time & energy to analyze DG data like you experts do (no sarcasm intended). My very subjective impression is that the Vampire Lord, if competently played, is very deadly against some enemy DGs. Is he OP ? I don't have the analytical expertise to answer that. In MP custom games, I always play the icy TB, an

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="12" id="2165404"] Any games you've played from last Friday until a couple of days ago were lost due to a bug. I apologize for that.

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="6" id="2164885"] Soon enough the ranks will be a good representation of a player's a skill. Actually, I think showing the "Experience" number would be far more helpful. Seeing someone with 400 experience versus someone with 1200 experience should tell you right away how good that player is.
