Reply to Interrupt, slow and stun stacking in Demigod Demigod Forums

What exactly are you asking for? A cooldown on interrupts? That's going to take away a lot of the interest in playing a team game for me. The skill in playing as a team is to use your allies abilities in conjunction with your own, if you can't stack interrupts you're negating the whole point of playing some character combinations and rendering them useless. Likewise with slows and stuns, it would become even more important to play the right character combos so that you dont have two c

Reply to Stat upgrade skills - any use it? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

So someone has a build that's good at endgame and you want to punish them when you fail to destroy them after 15 minutes? Stat Reg is what I played during beta and in the first week of release before switching to Sedna. The only reason I ever did well with it was because the overall game skill level was generally low, leading to long games with artifacts. I have no problem with people taking a stats build. It's painfully obvious as an opponent, and all you need to do is stack armor/hp

If you were playing in the same room on a LAN would you also just get up and leave in the middle of the game? Yeah why wouldn't I...if I had to take a phonecall, or answer the door, or go to the toilet, or do any number of things I would either be AFK and useless or leave if I was going to be away for a while. I'd tell people where I was going first. Unless you mean a LAN with randoms. I don't go to them so I honestly have no idea. Got internet and stuff...don

Reply to When will this game be more than 2v2 in Demigod Demigod Forums

The Clan Wars update is coming this season and I'm guessing they will have the stats tracking ready before that comes out (would make sense), but I don't know of any hard dates. I guess I wouldnt trust them even if I did given the shaky patch deployment. My only advice is to maintain a personal banlist and host your own lobbies. Try to play with people you have played with before that you know are skilled and not leavers. But then again you are probably already doing this since you've

I think saying the game is completely balanced is a little wrong TBH. You're saying that for all the maps, for all the different numbers of players, all of the playable characters are equally useful? Think two rooks on crucible are going to lose? You tower farm the single lane up and you'd have to be a complete retard to lose after that. Played a long game on Zikurat or Mandala before? How'd you go playing as QoT? Got caned by characters that rip you to shreds in the e

Characters with low auto-attack and low attack speed will NEVER kill you if you heavily stack +health and don't play like a retard. If there is a Sedna/QoT against you, buy +hp items and get the +800hp favor and they will probably get very frustrated. I know I do.

Good post. My housemate and I play Oak/Sed or 2xOak/Sed and it works quite well. You don't need kills in 2v2/3v3 to win, though.

I used to play as part of a premade, we stopped when, like Deepjay, we got bored. Being at War Rank 10 while the enemy is at WR2 isn't even remotely interesting. Suffice to say if you're in a premade and using voice comms you're going to have a giant advantage over your opponents, so don't be surprised when they leave in under 10 minutes. Yes, it's very obvious. And no, I'm not going to enquire about whether you are a premade team every time I join a lobby. You d

Reply to Lame mechanic in Demigod Demigod Forums

It takes 3 seconds to teleport out, interrupt the tele and kill your opponent. I play Sedna so obviously I'm making it sound easy with access to pounce, but most DGs have access to stuns/interrupts. If he hasnt taken the preceding flag, he can't see you coming. I love it when people get smart and try to backdoor too early in the game, they die quickly and they have nowhere to run.
