The community is quite good on the whole. I've found jerks to be fairly rare, and most people are quite nice. And welcome to online :)

Yea, some people are jerks. I remember playing with you earlier and you were a very good Reg, but some other people weren't so great (although I wasn't in that game). The nice thing is that the bad apples are fairly few and far between.

[quote who="The_Regicide" reply="1" id="2514093"]Yeah, I hate those idiots too. Also, these are the people who often have High/Low instead of Low/High AI settings, expecting ragequits. [/quote] Yea, I agree. If you have non-default settings you should say in the title...but some people just don't have that much courtesy, so you always have check the settings.

Ok, thanks.

Honestly, I don't know the specifics of here, but if a UB on my team goes boots of speed+ankelt, I know we're trouble. I doubt a quit was justified, but I've never seen a pure speed UB do well (I may be wrong, but against good players it's not really tenable imo).

Where are you guys finding the DA/Occ origins stories?

Is it possible to remap to mousebuttons 4/5? (I.e. the back and forward buttons). Because that has always annoyed me that it won't let me do that...does the Game.prefs method allow that?

[quote who="Teseer" reply="3" id="2508190"]Hes definantly fun to play with and challenging to play against (when the person knows what hes doing) Thanks Frogboy! We appriciate the FREE addition to Demigod! [/quote] Thanks Stardock. Enjoying him already!

I can vouch for Mrreddy being a good teammate. I just did a game with him (as Occ, so I was way worse than normal :P) and he had a very nice DA. Something like 8-1, and he communicated/ported in well.

Alright, thanks for the reply. That was my general understanding, oh well... I guess I just have to avoid him then.

Ok, I generally shy away from making these types of posts, and I don’t want to come off sounding like I’m certain it’s the case. Nonetheless, it seems to me that yelsewshane was abusing the host bug in the two games I played earlier tonight. I have replays for both of them saved on my computer in case proof

[quote who="HorseStrangler" reply="6" id="2504535"] Quoting iokke, reply 4 true but than your topic seems misleading;) i associate team balancing with game lobbies that fill up and than spread ppl as equal as possible, ex: 40 50 70 vs 40 50 70. 40 will learn if he/she pays attention it should say to get better you need to play vs people better than you are = true; but u can also get better by playing balanced teams with peopl

Friend me if I'm on and I'll play some games if I can. I have probably only played ~200 games, but I've beaten a fair number of the other "top" players, so I certainly think I'm fine. I'm normally on during 12:00-3:00 AM Eastern time zone.

eh, personal preference to a point, but here's my reasoning: 1. Hopefully you have a good player playing UB on your team, since he's so good if played right. 2. He is very powerful, but is easier to die with than say, Sedna. 3. Fewer other people will want Sedna, so as a noob you can be Sedna fairly consistently. 4. She has monks, learning how to play with them/hold lanes with monks is good practice for playing an assassin later (if you choose to). Goin

Woopate, who are you playing against? Because I can't see a full-passive DA even being remotely dangerous, much less OP.

Here's my advice for a noob: 1. Read the forum guides. That's what I did, and I had no trouble joining the MP part. 2. For your first character, go as sedna/Erebus/Oak. Basically, be a general. Then focus on not dieing. Not dieing is your absolute top priority (bar a few exceptions, but they don't matter at this point). Second is holding a lane. Third is taking down towers/getting kills. 3. Stack hp. You should almost always have 3-4 armors (that increase hp). Basic st

Yes, what they meant is that you haven't played since the stat reset (which has been some time).

You're absolutely correct. Mom and Pop companies could never pull of an achivement like developing a game like Demigod.

I just try to tell noobs to 1. host their own game/join "noobs only" games, and 2. read the forums a bit. Granted, not many people listen, but on occasion someone will say "thanks" and then go do it. The biggest issue is that in Demigod one bad person can very very easily lose the game for a number of competent (even superior) teammates. So it really is imperative to prevent someone who doesn't have any idea w

[quote who="niz032" reply="9" id="2491598"] IMHO I think dev's need to go back to their roots and just accept gamers who don't pay and that they should be honored and take pride in the fact that people enjoy and play their product, instead of playing a mean corporate (expletive). [/quote] I'm sure that "pride" will mean a lot to them as they're evicted from thier homes because they can't afford their rent/mortgage anymore. I mean, you just said they should "just accept

Easiest way is to just host your own "noobs only" game and then check stats. I try not to be a jerk about stats, but there is simply no way I'm playing with someone who is 15% at 22 games against a solid team with 50-70% win rates (as an example). One bad person can very easily lose a game, even if their team mates are significantly better than the opposition. Reading the guides on the forum can be helpful. Also, make sure you know the basics (i.e. hp stack/use BotF/lane control/not d

[quote who="synnworld" reply="1" id="2490510"]Actually the ai is still worse than noobs [/quote] Not always. I played a game a day ago where one person dropped on both sides and we just kept playing it. At maybe 8-10 minutes in their AI had one death (he had mainly fought our AI, but still only 1 death) and their DA (human) had 5. He kept on running in to attack me as Oak next to my tower when I had 2x his hp and monks. So while you're normally right, some of the time the

Just tell people that you know what you're doing and have several hundred games prior to the reset. It is sometimes difficult to separate the new people from the people who have been on vacation since the reset. Personally, as long as you can vouch that you know what you're doing (and don't act retarded at the start) I'm good with it.

I don't know enough to comment on Orion's ideas, but I do agree that QoT is not very competitive in my experience. I play Oak, so normally I just concede the lane to a good QoT who is shielding/etc and stay by my tower. She can normally hold the lane until level 7 or so, at which point I start passing her. By level 12 I have never lost a 1v1 encounter with a QoT, even if she held the flag early game. The fact that bramble shield doesn't scale, she has no interrupts, and is only 6.0 in

[quote who="Esuzu" reply="6" id="2484403"]If you wanna do jongalts build you could just as well change learn DJ at lvl 2 instead of Pen, won't have many to use it anyway. Better to add staying power earlier. [/quote] As a pure Oak player I am seconding this. At level 2 you won't have enough mana to use penitence more than once (maybe twice, but then you might not be able to shield, always hold enough for a shield). At 3 you get pen so you can get level 2 penitence at four (
