[quote who="Aeris130" reply="6" id="2217195"] quoting postThe problem was not the # of sockets but the precise timing needed in handing off the sockets. We didn’t realize until 2 weeks in that the scalability problem in Demigod’s MP matchmaking was due to the third party network library we used having up to 30 to 40 second delays once there were thousands of players on. During the beta, users ran into this problem too and the solution was to add more servers and increas

As you well know proving facts or having a philosophical debate over what is a fact or how we should define them won't really get us anywhere. I believe you should show some respect to those communicating with you.

[quote who="Extacide" reply="17" id="2200874"]Aw man, I'm going to break down some quotes tonight. fraggelsmurf: I were going to say that you shouldn't tell the creators to wait longer before balancing the game when you whine about the balance without giving it any time yourself. Huh? Where am I whining? If anything, I'm whining about people who whine, because the developers obviously are using the whine as

[quote who="Extacide" reply="8" id="2200826"] *yawn* the 'small' effects as you call them are often the most powerful piece of an attack especially I'll cut you off there, because like every idiot in these forums, you neglect too many things. Erebus has low HP, lowest armor, and low health regen. He has the lowest base mana, lowest mana regen as well. Spending gold on pots just reduces erebus's potential to actually out-melee another me

[quote who="Extacide" reply="4" id="2200804"] don't know about overall balance but I can tell you that Bite itself was an overpowered attack, damage, life drain, slow, and armor debuff all in one attack translation: OMFG IT DOES MANY THINGS WITH SMALL EFFECTS, THEY MUST MULTIPLY BY 500xXXX. OMFG. LETS COMPARE TWO SKILLS, BUT NOT DEMIGODS OVERALL AND TEAMWORK. LLOLOALOSLAOALOL I SUCK AT THIS GAME. yeah... read it again.

I don't know about overall balance but I can tell you that Bite itself was an overpowered attack, damage, life drain, slow, and armor debuff all in one attack made it by far the most powerful ability in the game, coupled with the fact that it was extremely mana efficient...I think it's obvious why this change was made.

Since they're allowing you into the lobby before you're finished connecting, I highly suggest that it displays 'connecting' or some sort of business until you are connected to someone. In addition, considering how bogged down it can get if multiple people are connecting to multiple other people, I suggest a Queue where people join one at a time...just based off what I'm seeing this minute....that is, one person connects to everyone else in lobby, then the next person does the same.</p

To say they are 100% useless might be stretching it a little but yeah, I would say that the opportunity cost of angels is FAR too high. Getting them is mostly just a pre-cursor to getting catapults and giants.

Queen of Thorns' AoE, Erebus's Bite, and so forth. If you have multiple queens does the debuff stack (Curious about this) ? If you use both QoT's and Erebus's move does the debuff stack (find this likely).

I like it! Go take a look.

[quote who="kerzain" reply="1" id="2198652"]Erubus is a Demigod, he doesn't need blood to get life, all he needs is hit points. The shield is allotted a certain number of hit points, all Erubus is doing is tranferring them to himself. If Erubus had to rely on blood he'd never get anything from Rooks bricky leg. He isn't Venril Sathir, he's Erubus.[/quote] I think Psycho has a point, the idea behind the bite ability is that it 'drains' life from the opponent. Shi

I think the main issue is simply that erebus's bite ability has far too many effects. Slow, Damage, Life Drain, and lower armor? In addition to having a reasonable and low mana cost? Torch's fireball is fine, he is a glass cannon at best unless you stack armor. In terms of Regulus and Torch it sounds as though you just have gripes with getting hit by the abilities that your move speed can't counter....lets not buff move speed thank

I see what you're saying...I actually haven't ever really used swift anklet with torch, and if I'm really keen on having the move speed stick to the wand of speed to run in general.

Agreed, I have had many matches at this point where using capture locks and teleport scrolls toward mid game, despite thier initial lead was what garnered us a win. Having Giants first can also be highly advantageous as you point out. While Swift Anklet is ok, I find that more often than not if I were to be ganked....15% move speed wouldn't have helped anyway *just keeping in mind where the enemies are versus me and how tough they are at that point*.....teleports are aweso

As far as I can tell it's like the Heaven's Wrath Favor Item shooting off automatically now and then, although it might deal slightly more damage. Occassionally it can be useful, generally speaking though...leave it to your area damage DGs.

Currently the method highly encourages team play, where as the method you speak of would greatly hinder anyone playing as support and create the extremely irritating complaints of 'team killing' more often than usual. I understand the concern however...imagine you're playing healing sedna or bubbling queen of thorns, you don't deal nearly as much damage but negative defense heals/bubbles. I find it irritating enough that there isn't like overall 'healing' done at the e

I can hardly wait to play 5v5s, that's going to be fantastic. I love this game in general anyway, but it'll make it all the more exciting and interesting. Clan matches should be a blast...

The problem is, they are items you are supposed to gradually obtain, a sort of carrot on a stick method.....and it's fun to work toward them. I admit, I have well over the amount to purchase all of the items as I have been playing since the game came out..and it is highly frustrating when I randomly have no points, however I believe that since there is a player option to turn them on and off right now that there shouldn't be an enforced developer rule be it infinite favor for all

I'm rather fond of this idea, but I believe it would be best implemented in maps that also were interactive (example: a flag you have to control so that you can have that portal of units walk across a bridge to join your others) Thanks for the post, certainly an interesting idea. Problem is, while priests do give experience, they also heal the players that they walk by...which can be extremely handy, and mean a huge difference in a fight with other demigods. Wh

Thanks! You're certainly welcome, glad to get comments and to have you as a teamate that match, you didn't give up (despite the fact we were behind that domination match)...and because of that in addition to capture locks and teleports we pulled off a win. Much more than can be said of many allies I've had in the past.

Currently there are many 'pantheon' players whom join thier 'random' team by simply connecting at the same time and having quality connections to one another...leaving and rejoining pantheon until they see thier teamate. I have noticed this can and does create highly unbalanced matches and advise if you are playing pantheon to do the same. While I don't currently have anyone I play with regularly....I consider this to be a flaw/bug at the moment, however it is somethin
