For DG's with no heal/sheild, the sigil is pretty important. Maybe reduce the time to 15 seconds, or do +40% health. Otherwise it tips balance to Oak/Erebus/Sedna, even QoT more.
C'mon guys. Take it easy on Mike, he's from Ohio. English not always taught/spoken/typed here. And I'm sure he was still pizzt and laughing at the same time when he typed. We had just finished a double kill on one side of Cataract and ported back to our port and killed exborderline. Boom, instant desync. Timing was bullshit if nothing else. Now if he had chatted that he was gonna desync, then desync appeared, we could probably
It's easily the most addictive RTS I've seen in a long while. I'm a huge Rise of Nations, Age of Empires fan too, but never played them online much, only at LAN. As someone above said, the games are fast paced, right from the start. No watching TV and playing. Very immersive. Not as massive as Empire Total War, but if you think minion pathing is bad, watching your troops do everything but respond in Total War is infuriating.
Don't laugh too quickly about Belier and Apika. Had those 2 or a duo using their names try to join a game of mine last weekend.
I've run into this type of build a couple of times. The only nice thing is Reg can't stun you out of a teleport, but he can chase my beast out of the lane with enough kiting. Even a Sigil won't last long enough to get you home safely on foot. For DG's with no heal/debuff, that Reg is truly a pain in the ass.
I am certainly not a pro, but I recently played in a game with an Erebus (ooshawn) who left all base defense, and the health flag to my partner and I. He did a marvelous job with the mana flag, being all by himself except for creeps. He even knocked down 1 tower, in front of the manna flag. We repeatedly asked him to help us as they pushed the other side 3v2. He responded he had '0' deaths, like that was the holy grail. Of course it's hard to get killed by creep
Is your screen resolution supported by Demigod ?? Might try a lower resolution ?? Does the 9600 have the memory to support your res?? Should be a sweet setup once you get it working.
Try TB with Blade of the Serpent. Fire Nova or Ring of fire can refill your manna, plus i think it's +40 weapon damage. Of course, then Rain of Ice gets real tempting.
Played against kitty a couple of days ago. We had an odd grouping of demi's on 3v3, and he told us we needed more dps before we started. He was right of course, but we were experimenting, teamwise. He and his team played well, and he would explain his trickery when he pulled some tactical stunt. Not a bad guy to play against.
Answering ntropy - #3 I don't understand the reason the proxy server only switch works, but it is amazingly quicker than whatever got broken with the overlay.
I never noticed this happening before, but with replays, it's easy to go back and check out stuff. Played a 3v3, bought priests, angels, and cats, and my partner got the reinforcement award. We never got giants. I also got a kill, according to the top of the screen, that I was not credited for. I don't need anymore favor points, so it's no biggie, but I'm surprised that the scores reflected were obviously inaccurate. Has this always happened and I've just never n
If you hadn't tried it, use the proxyserver switch: add /serverproxyonly to the executable in your short cut. That speeds up connections. Now, we need to address the ton of crashed games "unhandled exception error" that I've seen.
Something is seriously wrong with the last patch. I played/attempted to play several game Saturday. I had 4 unhandled exceptions and lockups (2 requiring reboot) in 7 games. I haven't seen that kind of problems for a while now. I had 2 lockups playing '/serverproxyonly' , and 2 without the proxy switch. I don't think the problems were connection related. The overlay is great, but something got screwed up in the process. It needs to be fixed.
In case you missed the other thread, richtofen found the fix for it.........................and it works great. Quoting richtofen: just resolve the isue just click in properties in you shortcut for the game in the desktop and add /serverproxyonly in the destiny field....for me and my friends it resolved the issue.....probably will resolve yours Example: "C:\xxxxx\Stardock Games\Demigod\bin\Demigod.exe" /serverproxyonly &nb
I will try that, thanks Awesome, just zooming into games comparitively. Thanks for the help...... This really works, guys!!!!!
I feel ya, but nobody tries to play a dead game for 4-5 hours. Must be something about it you and it like.
I started a thread, probably in the wrong place about this. http://forums.demigodthegame.com/366766/page/1/#2409306 On the basis of replies, we are not alone. I came over here to report it, since I haven't seen any replay from SD anywhere to the other posts.
I played a dominate on Zukarat yesterday. 3v3 with 2 ai on each side. Game finished fine. Of course I had only 1 guy to stay in sync with.
In reply #5 to abuggeredhedgie : You probably grabbed the wrong replay on the third game. It's against a premade with losing records. You certainly played good (great) teams in the first 2. I neglected to point out that the 75% team I played against (of my own knowledge and will) were advertising for a 2v2 medium game. http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/1026158/player/63
I stumbled into one of those yesterday, and played it anyway with a partner with a good win percentage, but only about 50 games. We got smoked, and i told him to save the replay and learn from it. That's what I try to do. May be playing a few less of those in the future. I'm wondering how many of the 75%+ players really want to play each other?
After the new update yesterday, I started to have connection problems with random other players before the game could start. On 3 occasions, i was asked to leave 3v3 games because i could not connect to 1 or more players. I hosted a game myself, and it ran fine. Tried a second game, and in opening and closing slots to move players, and extra players starting to join, got hard locked and had to reboot. I played with another 'fast' host, and all connections were pretty q
Does the overlay increase the bandwidth requirements??? Seems slower for me to connect. Is it possible to disable it?
This a pretty sweet game, with a few problems waiting for the next patch, but nowhere near the problems experienced in Empire:Total War. Just a thought, tho, next time you're cruising the custom games list and don't see a game up there that you would want to join, put one up yourself. Chances are, several other players are looking for a game too. I hope you find them.
Quoting Reply #11 -Actually, the worst aspect of Demigod are the people who play it. Hands down. The game all by itself is a gem. There are some great games to be played online, with competitive, respectful opponents. There are some bad actors and idiots, but they seem to be in the minority. It's a great game, but could use some improvements (soon), and an easier way for people to get through noob initiation.
