Silence her with Sedna and burst the shield.

I really like how this system works. You have only one (or two if you count items) silence and the rest of cast-cancel skills are interrupt and stuns. interrupts work exactly the same like stuns only with a very short duration. So stuns are, in my opinion, only interrupts with the advantage of an unconciousness of the target. The funny thing when you kinda describe stun + cast cancel is that while you are stunned your cooldown runs forth. And hey t

[quote]idol resell would be awesome. Ideally they should actually function like the units you summoned in sacrifice, that would fit the design of the game the best.[/quote] Yeah that was what i thought of for a Commander of light: large packs of those idol style minnions. But in larger numbers than normal generals have (24 total) and with the choice to use more priests and no minotaurs etc. at least with a little more choice. Like you controll your own lane. Hey perhap

Yeah I agree that there should be a penality for losing the minnions (at least xp for the killer). But beside that: Belancing is quite fine but to be honest: Why has erebus minions and torch bearer not? Erbus plays totally like an assasin if you wish but torch bearer has an possible aura ealier than erbus. And why have the generals 3 item/idol slots more than the assasins? And how would you describe RTS like? Just like a walking base? Or at least depandable on minions?

This problem is caused though the other payers not trough demigods matching system. If someone passes out during connection he will not be replaced with ai (happened to your 2nd light guy) if someone flys out after the loading screen starts players will be replaced with ai, which is wwas happened to the two dark players. In other words: If not versus AI there wouldn't be a game at all since no one could connect with each other.

Hi folks! Many people on the forum criticize the lacking uniqueness of generals. To a certain degree I agree. Basically generals feel like assasins with 1-2 Minion skills + Idols. That comes mostly from the fact that you can play all generals completly without minnions but you can put some easy 900 $ in priests which give neat healing while all assasins dont have this possibility. I don't want to say that GPG & Stardock did a bad job with the generals. I wo

The spell goes of as soon as you click it. Only the effect kicks in just after the cast is finnished. I see that its quite hard if you are canceled i certain situations but if you see it from the opposite side: What would cast cancel help if the cooldown isnt started? Nothing you couldnt cast it for 1 second and after it just cast it like there happened nothing. So my impression is that this system adds a layer of tactic & strateg

The most important thing: Play you first games in singleplayer . Look at all items wich you could buy and get a good overview about them. Same for the Demigods, read their abilities and chose the one you like the most. And then just play. First maybe against easy AI, afterwards against normal. Try a few tactics, items only then start to play online. Many people will thank you for that. You won't make yourself happy if you play in

[quote]However, you can consider the achievements for chain killing, etc. in the same boat.[/quote] It's ture, some Demigods are better at killing others at the moment, but that is not the same. Your ability to kill enemys is strongly based on your item and skill build, if you go for support you really have a hard time to catch kills yourself, but you are still able to kill. Otherwiese you can still play Sedna / Oak / QoT Assasin-like and then you are definitly able to get all kill ba

[quote]I guess QoT bramble shield would count[/quote] Yeah, I forgot about that, but as you said the balance would still be in favour for light side. If a future Demigod for the dark side would be a heal based one it would something else. Another thing about a heal award: A heal award would still be kind of unfair. As it stands now there are only 3 of 8 Demigods wich even got a heal like skill, In some games there is only one of them present, if at all. So the player w

[quote]I think Demigod would profit from encouraging team play more.[/quote] Agreed. I highly support teamplay and would like to see some team based achievements. But what you wrote sounds a bit mixed up. Do you mean achievements, the awards allocated at the end of each game or both? (If you mean both you should separate the two categories, eg. fist citadel upgrade should be a award etc.) Also you should be a bit carefull with the "- life saver (healing/shieldi

Could anyone explain me how it comes that dark side leaded in points since start of this round and then in a matter of a day light made a 22,000 point leap? It should be even moire since dark side leaded by ~ 7,000 points. I dont't want to acusse anyone of cheating but how did this happen? Anyone got an idea? And now to an idea to increase the seriousness and to differentiate it more from skirmish: Add an pantheon winner trophy (as favor item). &

Well, sadly that is just bad luck for you. [e digicons]:S[/e] There were a great bunch of people out there who couldn't play online at all. The devs worked hard and fast to solve the problem and with this patch the fixed the problems of very many people, so they did a good job. You both are the first players I heard of that got this problem now. Sure it would be better if you could still play, but they didn't do this intentionally. Try to do it like the people who couldn't play online

[quote who="DroopyTheDog" reply="8" id="2161954"]I dunno about that, they managed to fix the bulwark of ages bug alright, it used to reduce healing by 25% too. I imagine they would have similar root causes and they managed to differentiate between healing and damage in that case.[/quote] Yeah, you are right, i forgot about the bulwark. But I don't know how they fixed that in the game mechanic, maybe fixing damage increase/decrease is way easier than fixing counting at all? (Maybe they

[quote]Or, you know, rather than wait for a PM you can follow the game's progress by yourself, like a big boy.[/quote] Or he likes the game like it already is and the only thing giving him a hard time playing the game is being reminded after every match that the favor won't be saved? Even big boys get addicted. Especially to a game which has such great potential as demigod do. If he follows the progress himself he would eventually feel the itch to play the game again. And afte

[quote]Heart of Life (and, I assume, any other thing with interrupt upon damage) is interrupted by heals from allied priests. I've died once or twice because of this. Apparently it's an old bug that got forgotten.[/quote] This issue is based on the fact that heal spells at this time only do negativ dmg, eg. if you get healed by 500 it is actually -500 damage. Ever wondered why your demigod spams the "i got hit" sound if you regenerate at a health cristal? [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

The problem of favor points and achivements (should be the "success" you mentioned) getting reset is a known issue, there are many people experiencing this. The developers are working hard to fix the matter.

That whole issue is also the reason for so many generals not, or rarely, using their minion skills. Minion generals aren't bad at all, they are just less good at killing other demigods. [quote]1- only the players that do something the most is rewarded, if the 3 top killers scores 16 kills, 15 kills and 6 kills, only the first one is rewarded and it is a bit frustrating for the second that have also played well.[/quote] For the one with 15 kills its quite frustrating, one more

They planed to implement replays, or even implemented it to a degree. But it looks like somehow it didn't work as intendet so they turned the feature off. You allready should have a folder called replays in My Documents / My Games / Gas Powered Games / Demigod. Atm they are working at the connection stuff, and the other more important things. It could take some time, but they will repair the replay system for sure.

The Warlord's Punisher's effect isn't that "special" (the lightnight bolt item), true, but I think it is quite adequate for a 300 dmg 1.5 sec. cast item, allready the first level of Torchbearers Fireball deals equal dmg, so it would be a bit "overdressed" to give it a more special effect.
