I've randomly tried to join over a dozen listed games. Just wondering if anyone has actually been able to join a game online with a person they didn't know. Just saw a game listed, joined and played. Anyone?
Thanks GPG and Stardock. Very pleased where my pre-order money is going so far. I even gave you special thanks in the credits of my completely unrelated you tube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmLlL7DIces
I'd like to start making some good fan movies and spread the word about DemiGod. I have a good PC running the game at max gfx and it looks amazing, especially when zoomed down. But before I do it, I want to check if were under any NDA. The forums are public so I wasn't sure.
Just wanna throw it in that I've been having no problems against Rook as Regulus. Rook is really slow and fairly easy to kite. Upgrade your run speed so you can dodge his boulder and generally build accordingly. I've seen a lot of people complain so and so is overpowered. In fact I've had someone tell me each toon is over powered after playing against me. Just think more strategicaly and be adaptive. When fighting rook don't try and tank him, that's just stupid.
Sorry I missed this one with fraps, I hadn't had any noticeable bugs for a couple hours so I turned it off. I was playing Regulas and after a death at I think level 14 I respawned and my inventory had been whiped clean, but only my permanent things, not my consumables. This was in a 3v3 game over hamachi and don't know if it matters but one of our players left and the AI kicked in. But after a while he seemed to go perma AFK at our base. He was al
[quote who="Nokthra" reply="2" id="1862080"]Will there be a teamspeak server too? I prefer teamspeak :>[/quote] Not unless you want to host one.
For anyone looking to communicate with the masses today without alt-tabbing out to post on the boards you can feel free to use our Demigod Ventrilo to communicate with other testers. The info is: Host: fierce.typefrag.com Port: 24576 Password: demigod The server was scaled down to 25 man while I waited for the beta but I will be upgrading to 100 man if and when we hit the 25 man cut.
Ok I got Impulse. Wondering how much I can do right now. Should I be able to register the game already? I have my receipt from Stardock for Demigod but I didn't recieve a key, just an order number. Will it be tied into my email address on it's own?
How do we download the client? Do we need to get Impulse?
I read an early interview in one of gaming mags about Demigod and when I read that it was inspired of Dota I was sold immediately. Later when I saw that if I pre-ordered I got in the beta I jumped all over it.
Well if that's the case I hope it atleast has around a 4-6 second cast time and can be interupted.
I know Demigod is not a Dota clone, but I do want to know if the maps will allow hunter vs prey chases like you do in the dota neutral forests. I think that's a big element to the gameplay and I hope its being carried over. I always love watching that one greedy player who chases another from the hunters base to the preys base cause they just need that one more hit to kill them. And they're so greedy they sac themselves to the fountain fire to do it.
I really like the suggestions on how to handle leavers but more so I really agree with having different random aspects for the game. When gaming I love a good gamble. Here's a couple completely NOT thought out ideas on random things. 1) A potion or some other item which when used grants a 90% chance to instantly give you a temporary buff like the runes in Dota. Haste, regen, double damage, etc. And a 10% to give you a debuff like a snare, or get stunned or something to that eff
heh I'm quite sure he's just being playful.
DotA, Legend: Hand of God, Civilization Revolution, Soul Calibur 4 and Mass Effect. So lots of exercise from my PC and 360 while my Wii collects dust on the shelf.
I know that to people who only tried Dota a handful of times the experience can be lacking. But for those of us who have been playing for months and years we know that there is a lot of hidden depth to Dota and a lot of needed Team Work, Skill and Timing. The Overpowered heroes statement is the type of comment that comes from inexperienced players. The great thing about Dota is when you know the ins and outs, selecting the right skills at level ups and building yourself up with the righ
Frogboy, any relation to IceFrog? :)
As a Dota player looking to Demigod for some new innovation on an original genre crossover, this part has me excited: "That is, there are certain parts of the Arena that you can control that give your side significant advantages. Hence, there are multiple strategic objectives." Questions to the Devs: A) What are your favourite Dota Heroes? B) Do any Demigods draw inspiration from these heroes?
I've done a lot of betas but never with GPG or Stardock. Any veterans with these guys know what to expect for the beta format? Is feedback posted on forums, do we get emailed or in game surveys? Or do they just focus us on stress testing/playing the game without taking in player feedback towards game mechanics?
Just wanted to Add that I'm also in the Dota community and that's how I heard about Demigod. I think the initial interviews I read that made references about Dota were spoken well. I was left with the impression that Demigod won't be a retail Dota clone, but it is inspired by the main Dota mechanic of generally controlling one Avatar in an RTS type war and battleing through tons of creeps and enemies as an overpowered being with the goal of destroying your opponents base. It's somethin
Secondly I want to throw in another games concept to be incorporated. The MMORPG Vanguard tried to implement an idea into their combat. It didn't add as much strat as was intended I think but it could work for Demigod. It's exploiting weaknesses. Here's an example how it works. Ever drop an ice cube in warm water? With your demigod you shoot an Ice Shard at Enemy_01. It does it's regular effects but also adds an exploitable weakness for lets say 3 seconds.<br/
Most important thing is Skill Synergy and Combos. Stuff like this makes games that are easy to get into and tough to master. Which usually means replay value and overall game longevity. A great game to showcase this is the Warcraft III map/mod Defense of the Ancients; aka Dota. In Dota your skills are what define your Avatar and your choice of Items are what define your strategy. That's why it works so well. You can pick characters that you know will match your play style,
Hello future Demigod soldiers. My Gamer tag is Jooma and I'll be starting development of the new EDL site in the next couple weeks. What is EDL? EDL stands for the Ethleets Demigod League. Ethleets is a project Gaming Mockumentary I'm producing. The details aren't important right now but a quick background on the term Ethleets is an Athlete who specializes in electronic competition = Ethlete. And an Elite Ethlete or Leet Ethlete is an Ethleet. Now that that's out
