this is awesome news. i can't wait for the release!

lol wtf all i did was point out that the OP was so confused when they tried to play dota and had no idea what they were doing, and then they go on to about demigod without realizing it was the same game. i found this humorous. grats on finding the WoW similarities too. then i get flamed and called elitist for making comparisons. lol seriously? i never said anything bad about demigod or dota, in fact i've posted several time's that i want demigod to succeed. yet there are always hypocritcal el

we'll see i suppose. i do hope both games are greatly successful though. this genre really deserves the publicity.

rofl. you don't even realize that in the paragraph where you talk about demigod gameplay you can replace all of the specific names of demigods/spells with dota heroes/spells. here let me give it a go I've come to love the PvP in this game so much more than in most other games. I guess you could say the game is rather basic when it comes to the fighting. You have your snares, your burst, your heals and your buffs.. but that doesn't stop the game from being incred

have you seen WoW graphics? i like how blizzard graphics doesn't try to be more than a game. this also allows for running on lower specs, and lets the developers focus that much more on gameplay. it seems like riot games is following in their footsteps. i'm all for it.

if dota players play demigod, that does not necessarily mean demigod will become a dota clone. and i'm sure stardock/gpg will be glad just as glad to take dota players money just as much as they want yours. if they didn't want dota players playing this they wouldn't openly advertise to be inspired by it.

[quote who="Xan" reply="12" id="2107743"]Anything that will get the nutty Dota zealots to go away has to be a good thing. All hail LOL.[/quote] wow and people talk about dota players being elitist? demigod hasn't even come out yet and you're already acting all high and mighty about it.

in contrast, dota has dozens of characters. in demigods you will have several builds, but will have to pick the same character several times. a lot of good things about dota is playing roles on team and combining different hero combinations replacing heroes with others that play the same general role to see how they work out differently. and i'm sure likewise, demigod you will have to see how your unclean beast dps build will work out compared to your regulus build.

the good thing about LoL that was totally missing in dota is that it will have a good tutorial. this will totally tear down the great learning curve barrier that exists.

yes i did read the whole article. that's why i'm very excited for games like demigod and league of legends to come out. and i also want both games to be very successful. now bear with me, i don't want this to be a LoL-Demigod-DotA-you're-comparing-apple-to-oranges thread, but i posted this same exact thread in the league of legends forum and the first response i got was this: "Here's a link to the FAQ page: <a href="http://www.leagueoflegends.com/pa

that's nice. please read this article http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3966/postmortem_defense_of_the_ancients.php here's an excerpt: In order for DotA to be successful, it was necessary to leverage volunteers in a significant way. The entire staff, including Guinsoo, was a volunteer. This afforded the team some interesting

even with stardock's whole "gamer's rights" spiel i know money is still a high priority for them. people don't realize that constant patches based on community input is a goldmine for success. i can see them making a 30 dollar expansion pack with some extra items/maps/demigods and then leaving the players to figuring out the best builds and demigods and then its just rinse and repeat until the game gets stale. i hope they prove me wrong

and if demigod is successful hopefully continue longer than a year? i hope stardock and gpg listen to their customers. afterall it is the consumer playing the game. it should be made the way they want it. and a better game makes for better sales. everybody wins. and i hope a full year of post-release support doesn't mean their just gonna release new demigods into the game without changes for balance. even though more demigods is not a bad thing.

i'm not really talking about mods as much as i am talking about the actual game. i think players should be allowed to continuously supply feedback on balance issues and new ideas to the game creators. kind of like a permanent beta. so the game is always evolving and getting better and you never get bored of it.

Hi, as an avid player of DotA, I know very well that it's greatest strength lies in the support from its community. People are involved, giving ideas, making guides, finding bugs, hosting games, making 3rd party programs to reduce lag, helping test and edit the map, you get the picture. My question is, how much community involvement will there be in Demigod? Sure, there may not be a huge fan base at first, but if the game is goo
