http://www.gameranger.com/ For all you people who dont know what game ranger is: Game ranger is a simple program that allows people to create a custom game of demigod and not have to go through the pains of wondering if everyone can connect to everyone. I have spent the past week just to play 2 custom games and 1 skirmish while wanting to pull my hair out. After trying this I was in a 5v5 with in 5 minutes. Heck
Listen to kstampy and get game ranger: http://www.gameranger.com/ takes like a few minutes to install and works like a charm. They are working on patching up the multiplayer so it will work as well as game ranger. You have nothing to lose but a few minutes setup. Simple as that.
Yeah what I dont understand about the current system is why it takes minutes just to connect even if you do connect fine to everyone? Why does it take so long even when it works? Most of the time there is some stupid crap, I spent like 2 hours just to play one 15 min game before giving up. I tried this today on game ranger and we had a 5v5 up in < 1 min and everyone was ready to go. Heck the longest part about the whole thing was having 10 people decide which map an
I just tried it out and it was awesome. Took like 2 mintues to install. Found that all the legit users post the .93 version in the title so its easy to find a game and get going. My first game was a 5v5 but one person had lag spikes and once he left it was smooth sailing. After playing that match THIS is how the online should be. I hope that stardock and gpg can get their online working this smoothly because this weekend I wanted to smash my head in from not bein
In game there is a friends list that keeps a log of what you typed to your friends and seems to work fairly well. The chat room overlay looks to use an irc style interface if you need to talk to multiple before setting up a custom game. All in all its not bad. Once you get a game setup you can chat in there as well. You can setup a custom game with however many people up to 10. Like if you want yourself and 4 friends vs 5 random people.
I had a similar instance before even picking light or dark when going to the pantheon. I was only able to see or select any of the demigods that I have never played yet. So after picking light side I could only choose rook because I played with the other demigods before but not him. What was interesting is I alt-tabbed out and when I went back into the game they were all selectable again. Weird bug, its like it greys out the ones you have already played as only allowin
Wait which RTS's do this right now? It is a fantastic idea though.
I would love a spectator mode but I think they need to make the connection stuff work like 95% before they can even think about have spectators connect to a game.
How about not have the camera reset each time as well.
How many RTS's do not have a random faction pick? I cant think of any game actually. Variety is the spice of life.
Apparently you have never seen a 109 minute long game: http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo78/SilverHusky24/Dota/WC3ScrnShot_041109_133018_01.png
Yep I played offline for 2 days and then after my 1st game online it wiped them all. Somethings is definitly up with that.
[quote quoting="post"] What is the biggest thing you do not like in this game so far? For me, it's the 2-3hours matches. The back and forth. It's REALLY boring and gets so annoying! I loved DoTA because I could just jump in when I had some free time, play a 10-15min game and be off to work or back to studying. I was hoping this game would be as fast paced as that [/quote] This is so funny I dont really have anything to say but.... [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]
I too wish there was a random demigod selection because its always nice for a change of pace to play something you normally do not. I always -random in dota because its good to learn every char so you know their pros and cons.
Its in the upper right corner. Type the name and hit search. [e digicons]:D[/e]
I had this happen to me in tournament mode (hard) at the end of a game when vamp was level 20 as well. He was not in mist form and was evading every attach for what seemed like at least 5 seconds before I was killed. It seems special abilities were the only that that would hurt him and base attacking did nothing but evade. Not sure if it was permanent because my team lost shortly after it happened.
[quote quoting="post"] Skadi was also one of the most expensive items in the game. Regulus gets it for free with no associated disadvantages. [/quote] Seems a bit unfair when put in a context like that doesnt it? I agree with the maiming and wyrmskin gauntlets 100%. The perma-mist is interesting because it does not really become effect until late game whereas sand king it was damn effective by the time you reach level 5 and sandstorm i
Correct we are missing 2 maps in beta so far: mandala & exile.
I agree with pretty much everything on here. Alot of them just plain suck for the cost and are neglected.
At minimum there should be consumable item that allows you to view a players items. How is this not stategic? Your getting vital information on how to couter a certain player because you know what they have and can deduce their weakness. Its not like your ruining a big surprise I dont see how that could be the case. Think of this as scouting in an RTS. Those who do it are generally really good because they know something you dont know. If its at least an
HorseRadish - I dont think you get why people are wanting to view the demigod items right now. Its not so that you can figure out what people are you using for items after the fact but its so that people can stategically counter certain builds. This is a big deal stategically because it should not be cut and dry get these 5 items every game for a certain character. If you are allowed to view other players items you can come up with couters to them on the fly. This has
It sounds like you want a party bar similar to world of warcraft so you can click on their portrait instead of on the actual character in a mess of fighting since you will most likely click the wrong person. It would definitly help for the demigods that have buffs thats for sure.
[quote who="Sevenix" reply="8" id="2073148"]The hammerslam is fixed in beta3 and as such if you move away from it you wont get the full damage.[/quote] So when you say you wont get the full damage your saying that if someone warps away from the hammer slam before it hits the ground no matter where you are you should take damage but not the full damage? I have only tested it out once and to me it appeard that I was taking near full damage. I couldnt tell exactly how much be
I know that [e digicons]^_^[/e] . I am talking team kills and deaths. Right now it displays totals for individual players, not the whole team.
How about a non ranged spell like rooks hammer slam? I had the warp stone and warped past him after you start to see the animation and it still hits... pretty lame is you ask me since you cant "dodge" it with warpstone.
