Reply to Buff Sednas Yetis! in Demigod Demigod Forums

Something to bear in mind that the less minions you get the less use the minion buff items are. People playing minion Oak (without getting into the benefits or drawbacks of that style of play) for example recieve a larger bonus from minion based items and the morale skill than those playing Sedna or QoT do. If I buy a +Damage item as Oak or Erebus I get a far greater reward than if I were playing as Sedna or QoT. YES I can buy Idols, but that costs gold, which is in a different plane to the e

"Why do random crashes like that happen? I haven't had an in-game crash in a long while. Why then? Some extremely specific scenario happened, some series of events happened right in succession that the game didn't know how to handle and it died instantly? How does that happen?

Reply to Destroying towers too early? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Something to bear in mind is that your opponents lose line of sight to that side of the map, which can allow you to ambush, and also cap their portal quickly and without them noticing. As soon as you take down the first tower, the next thing on your mind should be harassing their gold mine/celerity flag towers. Once one of those is down you can backdoor without being troubled too much, and the game will really open up. In fact you can just run minions in front of you if you're a

[quote who="Jaradakar" reply="7" id="2230442"]Much like RTS games... As far as Demigod is concerned I like the ideas that player skill could matter. If I've got 100 games under my belt and my ELO ranking is really high, killing me should net more gold then killing someone who just started playing. This could be a very interesting system.

Reply to Game Balance and it's redress in Demigod Demigod Forums

I don't see how stats tracking is going to help you determine detailed balancing issues. Demigod is a team game and the team with the best coordination will win nearly every time regardless of minor imbalances. You also can't track every stat that influences the outcome of a game...if you count kills/deaths you're discounting characters like Sedna and QoT who will get less kills in a game, but will "save" thier allies asses time and time again. I have lost games where my team as a who

[quote who="DalzK" reply="20" id="2229669"] RTS: With classic resource gathering and base building, you often expand and build a backup base, so if your first one is destroyed, you can regroup and launch a new attack from your secondary (hopefully hidden) position.

Reply to Can we please fix the minion exploit in Demigod Demigod Forums

It was confirmed as an exploit by Kryo some time ago iirc. Its also not a big deal, its a powerful strategy that works well when your team is winning just like every other strat that requires a lot of consumables. If your team is on the back foot stacking minions is just one of many ways to put all your eggs in one basket and go for broke, though it by no means works every time. Here's a thought: nuke the general as a team and watch their investment disappear into thin air. You need t

Reply to Silence in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

You'll need it if you want to kill an enemy Sed, Qot or Oak since otherwise your opponent will just heal/shield and get away most times. Once you have it to 4 seconds this is long enough to teleport to safety, so its quite handy if you're backdooring portal flags on Cataract for example. It's not terrbily useful against some DGs, tower Rook, Reg, UB for example won't be terribly concerned at being silenced unless they're about to get ganked because their autoattack is strong e

Reply to Bottlenecking Maps - Please Stop in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote quoting="post"] The problem with a map like Crucible or Exile is that the bottlenecks on the reinforcement streams mean that you have no place to open new fronts. You can't get to the portal flag on these maps (does Exile even have portal flags?) without going through everything the enemy has to throw at you.

There, he just healed 1.5k hp and dealed it to, and there was nothing you could do about it. Not to mention he has pretty good hp regen and you can get him up to very high hp levels. And lets say you do manage to outdamage him despite his healing et

Reply to [Bug] - Already known but still ranting :) in Demigod Demigod Forums

I don't have a magical solution, but I don't get the ability bug if my character is moving, and it's much more prevalent when my chacter is in the auto-attack state. Not sure about idle state. This isn't much consolation for bite, since you will likely be attacking, then bite, then continue attacking/run away, but for both heal and pounce it's pretty workable.

I play TB and I rarely have trouble destroying Rook's towers (and hurting him in the process, if he is standing nearby).[/quote] What if you're not playing one of those classes? Shoul

Reply to Killing a Demigod nets too much gold in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="Viisari" reply="9" id="2213495"] Well that's true, but personally I wouldn't go near if I saw three DG's on a flag, I'd just harass them just outside their range. Plus if all three of the four are in the same place, that makes it pretty easy for the your team to take control of the map, which will probably just end up hurting the would-be gankers. So imo if they can get all their nukes on you you've already screwed up somewhere. And even if they can get them all to hit

Reply to Problem with the 'concede' option being discussed in Demigod Demigod Forums

Unfortunately I really can't see how you can have it that way, either your 2 teammates concede, or if they don't have that option they will quit. I'm not saying I think that's the right thing for them to do, but it's going to happen and you're not going to have any choice in the matter. Your opponents likewise aren't going to get to choose whether they get to keep playing or not.
