[quote who="ItchyDustbin" reply="15" id="2304405"] Quoting woppin, reply 10 I don't want to play DotA. But you'd rather play Demigod, the game with very little strategy, low variation between maps,.[/quote] I preordered Demigod last year, and I'm happy to stick with it for the time being. I think it has a decent amount of strategy to it when the matchups are close, though admittedly this happens less often than I'd like. The maps are varied enough, eve

[quote] Can you give a specific instance where you purposefully alter your gameplay so that this become useful? At the same time, consider that SupCom was built around the whole concept of minimising micro to bring that big-scale battle feeling.

[quote who="pseudomelon" reply="15" id="2297078"] I've played against Reg a number of times. If you don't think you can get a good warp on him, then you can keep dying. I don't give a shit. [/quote] +1. Protip: BotF isn't a whole lot of use against regulus. It only takes one character with a stun (usu. UB) to catch up to him before he's vulnerable to ganking.

[quote who="swflcomputertech" reply="12" id="2304166"]no really this is crap, I bought a game to play not to repeatedly shut down my computer and I have run memory tests, hard drive tests, graphics tests, my computer is solid this game however seems to be the only one crashing.[/quote] What? I don't think anyone else is having DG shut down their computer.

[quote who="Misfortune" reply="20" id="2304159"]Wander if they even have bug managmenent procedures.[/quote] See Kestrel's thread from yesterday. They do.

Ice has an AoE stun, why in god's name would you not use it. Unless you're playing Sedna/QoT/TB or something stupid where you have no DPS, stuns are an insanely powerful move, they can save you and your allies allowing them to run, and they can snare enemies alowing you to catch them and get kills. They also get you the occasional interrupt on careless opponents. Deep freeze is an instant cast interrupt, it's one of those counters for fireball you were talking about not existi

[quote who="Snowju" reply="9" id="2303998"]ZERO. If you think that 8 demigods is enough for a game as repetitive as this and feel the need to charge money for more demigods, then I feel the need to tell everyone to wait for Heroes of Newerth and never buy a Stardock game again. NEXT THREAD.[/quote] HoN == DotA. I don't want to play DotA.

[quote who="SoFFacet" reply="24" id="2303481"]There will be DG battles on Cataract too, and the winners of those will still gain the advantage. Again, the primary difference is that they happen later on once people have had a chance to gain some levels and items. Mixing up your map selection is good so you don't get sick of any given one, which is usually my motivation whenever I do in fact play Prison. The other thing I like about it is that there is no health flag that skew

I guess all the people who have been playing since last year should tell him to stop buying at release and preorder?

[quote who="Miyamiya" reply="1" id="2304099"]Judging by the amount of question marks, this is an extremely urgent matter! No worries, I have inside information AND I can see the future. The next patch will go online in exactly 27 days 17 hours 46 minutes and 4 seconds. [/quote] I asked a guy in the street and he said you're right.

[quote who="SoFFacet" reply="5" id="2303981"] maybe all premades use sedna + UB + erebus No doubt its a strong combination. It's possible, but why do you think they choose those? Thing is, you can't actually factor out player preference from skill. If only the best players use sedna, it is probably because she is quite awesome. This is what I was saying earlier. How much are UB/LE/Sed's win rates a function of their raw power? How much are they a fu

Try turning the sound fidelity to low and turn system reverb off.

[quote who="Kokujin" reply="5" id="2303452"] Quoting ZehDon, reply 3Please do not complete these commentaries like Blizzard's Starcraft II Battle Reports. Those things are horrible and need to stop. Having said that, I think it's an interesting idea and could provide a little more insight into the game if you upload them on streaming sites like, for example, YouTube. Awwwww.... It would be so cool to hear "terrible terrible............. ad infinitum...... dam

Player A would have a different amount of gold on his screen to the other players, so one way or another it's going to desync. In the situation you described it might be something like: Player A submits (purchasing item X) information to all peers Players B,C,D now have player A as not having purchased the item because he had insufficient funds. Player A has done something fancy, so he will have the item. -> desync.

Looks like aussiedoc completely outplayed you. He deserves more favor for that.

[quote who="MABManZ" reply="10" id="2302865"]Free weekend(s) deal would be better IMO. Less work on SD's part and players get the full experience.[/quote] +1 Free weekends are one of the great things about Steam. Demigod would benefit from them in the same way TF2 has. I always like looking at the server list for the places I play on (Internode) and seeing that theres 800/816 players/slots when theres a free weekend. I think you would need team automatch sorted out bef

[quote who="StAcK3D_ActR" reply="3" id="2302884"] it is annoying, and strong if you get caught in it, but it does not turn them into an auto-win team. double beast is not game breaking in my opinion. so does double beast deserve to be permanatly banned from the game? no it doesnt. ofc there are many counters. I do have a personally problem with foul grasp not triggering the invulnerability to stuns this. i had a 3v3 game and this is what happened:<

I'll try to break the mould: Regulus Level 9: Items Boots of Speed, Poisoned Dagger , Rejuvenation Elixir, Unbreakable Boots, Vlemish Faceguard, Wand of Speed, Wyrmskin Handguards Abilities Angelic Fury I, Angelic Fury II, Explosive Mine I, Explosive Mine II, Explosive Mine III, Mark of the Betrayer

That's an 8400M equivalent. EDIT: According to Wikpedia it's both a G86 core and an 8400 equivalent which makes no sense to me. Stupid wiki. I don't know a huge amount about this sort of thing, but what may be happening is that Demigod is unable to recognise your graphics card as being an 8400 varient due to laptop drivers registering it as an 8400M instead. Try running something like a CUDA app, if after installing the CUDA runtime and running one of the samples you r

[quote who="aalex12" reply="2" id="2302095"]Yes, but calculating, for example leveling, item, abilities effects is veru useful. Also I can't say you don't need to predetermine build. It's good to have a predeterminerd build in mind, you have basis and corrcting it during the mathc depending on situation. I use www.demigoddb.com, but, sadly, it hadn't been updated for long and doesn't provide full information. I really hope Stardock/GPG will run such a ca

[quote] Why does it hurt some people's ego so much, when the new guy hosts his game with the simple rule that there be no doubles. [/quote] It splits the community for no good reason. The house rules played by inexperienced players will either become the standard because they are the majority, or they will die out when those players find they can't get a game with their particular rule set enforced in the case that they are the minority. I could make games that

[quote] On first glance i think he fell into his own definition of a scrub and doesnt play to win if he doesnt choose Akuma to play with because its lame [/quote] Akuma is akin to an exploit in online games, he's god mode. People don't skybox in scrims when playing Source Engine games, you get banned from the server if you do. Doubles are not even close to this kind of situation. [quote] I think it is still to be seen if doubles are OP. If the game is s

Most RTS games don't do very much simulation, take for example Starcraft where things always hit rather than simulating the projectiles. Compare this to Supreme Commander (which Demigod is based off) where by dancing units from side to side you can dodge incoming fire, I would imagine the extra bandwidth is coming more from the simulation requiring it than anything else.

If the game is balanced for the hardcore playerbase, the casual playerbase will be able to play a balanced game. If the game is balanced for the casual playerbase, there is no certainty that it will be playable at the highest level. You've been reading too much Sirlin imo. The number of complex moves in Demigod is really low. Chaining skills like stuns/grasp/silence, and group bursting are the closest it gets to the very complexcombos in arcade fighting games. The difference in player
