As much as I dislike Steam for it's very shake offline modes and forced patches which can fail and lock you out of your games for extended periods of time (happened to me very, very often up until last year... so they have gotten better), I must say that Steam is pretty ubiquitous now. Especially if you own both a PC and a Mac.
I did not know that if a player quits, a concede message is also sent. That seems a bit unecessary and confusing, since the AI should have no say regarding concedes or not. Still, the message text when you try to concede indicate that you will quit immediately, rather than placing your vote and remaining in game.
I've have two games now in which the following has happened: 1) Text appears saying a player wants to concede the game and immediately after, a message says that AI has taken over for that player 2) The game continues and when it ends, that players appears to get 40 favor points That sounds like bugs to me because: A ) When a player chooses the concede option, he should not be allowed to quit until all players on that team has also voted to concede the game.

[quote who="StAcK3D_ActR" reply="9" id="2264877"] this is a team game. assists are more important than your kills.[/quote] Yes, but are assists rewarded? I've also noticed that, because I am usually the only one on my team who locks strategically important flags, and because I keep running around locking them, I usually end up with the least kills and least experience, and thus, the least favor points. Yet, I'm fairly certain that in a few of those games, if I did
I think it is rather silly that if you do 90% of the damage to another player, and then an Erebus swarms in or a Regulus snipes, they get the kill and you get the assist. Ok, I can grant them the kill stat, but I hope the favor point rewards comes from the damage percentage and not just that count.
All I know is that I was Oak in one level, with speed anklet and speed boots, and the Torch Bearer was at least TWICE if not three times as fast as I was, and I never saw him slow down.
I'm playing a single player tournament on "hard AI" settings, and from game to game, one opponents gains absolutely ridiculus speeds. We're talking speeds comparative to a level 20 Unclean Beast with all possible speed items, and this just on level 10. It happened to a Torch Bearer on round 3, and now to an Erebus on round 4. It's absolutely ridiculus. Also, if I may comment, to give the AI stat boosts is a really cheap way to cheat with AI. I mean, everyone ch
[quote who="LORD-ORION" reply="1" id="2262402"]I have an objection. Demigod crashed on me yesterday. It counted as a disconnect and loss. The next game I ended up with the same teammate, who told me not to rage quit. Can you guys maybe add a way for the online client to check the event log, and discount a game if the log shows the demigod exe stopped interacting around a certain time a disconnect was counted?[/quote] This would mean that all someone has to do to
I don't think it's all about unmatched opponents, but yes that is a big part of it. Also, I think this problem is a lot more common than what those who don't agree with me believe. I just noticed this on Penny Arcade (which is quite an influential site), written by one of the creators: [quote who="tycho"]Kiko and I were attempting to play Demigod fairly regularly until we played an online match that went so incredibly wrong that I can't bring myself to execute
[quote who="tradjik" reply="5" id="2259010"] Quoting eobet, reply 2 You will never, ever be able to take out an UB or Oak in 1v1 without mines, and as someone pointed out here earlier, mines are also an AoE, which works as well as angelic fury. This is completely wrong, a speed/AA build can successfully kite and kill both of those DGs without mines, with maxed MotB it is easy. Also, mines may be an AoE but they don't count as direct damage to
[quote who="HateForest" reply="25" id="2241330"]Froggy, instead of punishing players for leaving a game THEY ARE NOT ENJOYING, why not implement a proper ranking system? That way you KNOW you aren't gonna be playing against noobs. This should be more important than punishing players who do get stuck with a team who has no idea and get squished.[/quote] [quote who="DeadMG" reply="11" id="2240711"]I think the fact that people RQ in droves is a demonstration that the game is decided far
Seems I can't join custom games suddenly... what's going on?
This thread has really great suggestions! I'd like to add one (which may or may not be in patch 1.1 ...the wording was a bit ambiguous in the notes): 11. Have the chat history permanently displayed on the screen.
[quote quoting="post"] 2. Heart of Life + Shield. This can be done with Oak, and can provide an easy 6 seconds of very high hp and mana regen. You can use this with any Demigod if you take Orb of Defiance. Whenever you get hit - whether you actually take the damage or not, the Heart of Life regen should be interupted. [/quote] Heart of life should either be removed from the game alltogether, or be interrupted even while shielding, and prevent the demigod from moving while u
[quote who="Sean0883" reply="12" id="2258186"] 1.1 patch notes, all signs point to yes, it is.[/quote] I only know of one place with 1.1 patch changes, and that doesn't mention HoL or the Oak's shield. Where did you read this?
I'll add my vote to this sillyness. I don't even think you should be allowed to move while using the HoL. EDIT: Whoops... I didn't see that this thread was about the orb... I think even the Oak + HoL combo should be nerfed!
[quote who="Pyradius" reply="1" id="2256664"] I fill up Angelic, Snipe and the Scope as much as I can. I've seen some very effective strategies that use mines and kiting but to me the purest DPS build is to max range, snipe, and aoe ability.

[quote who="Shortlived99" reply="4" id="2246805"]this game was never ment to be "better" than every other game rolled into one, i think comparing them to this is abit silly.[/quote] I don't understand this. What are you afraid of if you don't dare to compare it to the rest of the games out there? If you create something, shouldn't you aim to be the best there is?

I didn't understand the elimination of good/evil alignments for races. Will there not be a alignment compability chart at all in this game, like with Age of Wonders, where pairing some racial units with others yielded penalties, and other combinations yielded bonuses?
If you look at... http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/demigods/player/38691/ ...it appears that I haven't played with the Oak demigod at all, but that is false. I've been training with him quite a lot lately, yet he doesn't show up on that page. Am I the only one for whom the page doesn't update? (I know it's supposed to update once every 24 hours, but now it seems more like once every 24 days...)
Hosting my first game, a friend of mine told me via Skype that he got an unhandled exceptions, then two seconds later, I got one too: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at address 0x1023f336 attempted to read memory at 0x3231312e Program : C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Demigod\bin\Demigod.exe Cmd line arguments : Callstack: UPNPNAT::add_port_mapping + 262358 bytes ((Unknown)(0) + 0 bytes)
I received no replies to the scenario above. Perhaps with a little bump and the following analysis, people might be able to view the game from a new direction: The green line is the winning players while the red line are the loosing party. The point I'm trying to make is that in classic RTS games, both sides have rough
Why do they have these errors in the first place? I've played games online since Quake and Half-Life, through Dawn of War and World in Conflict, and I've never seen another game have this.
[quote who="Trigeminal" reply="6" id="2244680"]One of the better games until the opponent said that it was unfair to have me in the game saying, "No fair have OP Demi in 2v2". Not sure what that means but after the next kill he said "this is shit" and d/c.[/quote] I think he meant that you were either playing an OP spitting UB, OP biting Erebus, OP sniping Regulus, OP shielding Oak, OP tower spamming Rook or perhaps even an OP shield spamming QoT... ;)
