CeruleanShaman

Maybe now I can finally get into a match without wasting half the day trying to do so, hehe. Thanks for the heads up.

Greetings everyone. Was stalking the forums while venting some frustration at the issues impulse and multiplayer are having and decided to read a few posts here. I didn't see much on Queen of Thorns, my personal favorite Demigod, so I thought I'd write up a quick strategy I like to use. Note: It hasn't been tested constantly against anything but A.I. and newer players (I assume they were), so constructive input will be welcomed. I also plan to write a full-on and organiz

[quote who="JinxOfSin" reply="1" id="2140437"]Wow! I really didn't expect this thing to be ressurected. I expected demigod vs dota comparisons, but in new threads. At any rate, you should listen to what Kestrel says. As a Dota player, it bothers the heck out of me when some person comes in saying the heroes are totally imba after playing a couple games and getting rocked. It takes some time to get a feel for the game flow and how to "get ahead"[/quote]

[quote who="Jaradakar" reply="16" id="2140249"] Quoting Marlowe Lawbringer, reply 11 I'm on the fence concerning Demigod and came on this board seeking information. Learning that the manual is poor (no surprise, Stardock manuals are invariably poor), that there is no turorial, no campaign (I wanted one in Sins also), and you cannot pause the game to ponder decisions (I really, really hate this) have pretty much pushed me off the fence and I will probably give the game a

? I'm not afraid to tell you mine, It's the same as my forum name (because it made an impulse account for me when I registered here) but my actual showing name is what I put in my profile "Cerulean Shaman" without the underscore. I'd expect it would be whatever you put for your profile.

Last night I had the same issues, however since the patch today I haven't had any lock ups on the online screens and joining games has been smooth.

[quote who="Sowaka" reply="4" id="2139062"]Ahhh thanks a ton! He did feel fairly balanced when I tried him, though I'm a pretty horrid player at the moment. Still trying to get a hang of the generals... tricky lot. The game feels great... I don't know if I'm gonna get to bed tonight. I keep saying "one more game"[/quote] The generals are really hard to play correctly. It's a different mindset and you just can't think of your pets as orbital damage pods. It's a lot of fu

[quote who="TorchedGeek" reply="2" id="2138988"]If by Vampire Lord you mean Erebus, I don't think he's underpowered at all.. Was playing a game as Regulus and I kept almost getting the Queen of Thorns but Erebus kept hunting me down. ;x[/quote] He used to be underpowered, he got buffed up in the version we downloaded along with all the generals, oak, Queen of Thorns, and Sedna.

I was asking about this quite a bit earlier. I'll save you some time as I finally found an answer. The day 0 patch is still tomorrow, though the gameplay portions have been added in the preorder download. A mini day 0 patch, if you will. So play him, he's the way he'll be tommorow now. Tomorrow the patch is just going to add networking stuff.

[quote who="NiknudStunod" reply="3" id="2138938"]I have been trying to keep track of both forums general discussions for official posts on the servers. Dev and forum mods should sticky official posts about the state of the game. Most of the responses seem to be made players giving second hand info from dev posts. All the lag issues I had earlier today were gone tonight so I figured the matchmaking was fixed as well.[/quote] Fair enough, but remember th

Just go practice against Nightmare computers or beat singleplayer, tomorrow the normal servers will be up and I'll be more than happy to destroy your soul. :D

[quote who="tlhays3" reply="7" id="2138810"]The torch bearers the way to go i feel. Still cant decide which i like better. Ice, Fire or a little bit of each haha[/quote] I found myself entranced by shield/shamble QoT with plenty of mulch. Given armor and mana regen, I died once in an hour long game we were playing online and that's when all three of them (3 vs 3) were after me and I got caught popping Heart to gain my empty mana back. Rook, Torch Bearer, and the Vampire Lord, so it hu

Playing my first all Rook match as Queen of Thorns and feeling oh so alone. Seriously though, Rook needs to be bigger. And his summoned towers should be called Pawns and be half his size, hehe.

[quote who="woca" reply="4" id="2138759"]is leaf similar to hamachi[/quote] Basically the exact same thing, except Hamachi's developers stated they never intended it to be used for gaming and always point people to Leaf as it's better for gaming and intended for just that. Been using Hamachi for years, but switched over to Leaf when I found out about it.

All in all so far a good experience. The game looks amazing, sounds amazing, and so far is plenty of fun. Download was extremely fast, installation smooth. Small nicks with not being able to play online against others yet, but that's fine. Thanks for the great download, the great game, and for coming all the way out on your day off to help set this up!

[quote who="Ralsar" reply="4" id="2138636"]The Light side is going to win this first tournament. I forseen it! SEDNA POWAR!![/quote] Looking forward to seeing you on the battlefield, then! I've managed to settle down on Queen of Thorns and to a lessor degree Unclean Beast (he's my assassin, though I'm going to really try and play my general to get better at her.) At any rate, that means I'll be parking on Dark Side, stealing your flags.

We could always just use Leaf and host our own game with some otehr forumers.

Still beats the one arena Hosk and Dota both have, even if they have a bit more of a nature tint. Give it time and we'll see some sweet stuff.

Sorry for the late reply, been trying single player. I sorted it out, idiot was using the next door's wireless instead of mine like the fool he is.

Great game, been playing against A.I.'s and thirsting, aching, to play with some humans. I understand all the issues going on and that most of it will get fixed tomorrow. However, I didn't see anything about lan itself. I've spent the better party of an hour trying to get myself connected with friends playing the game over lan, simply put it won't show any of our games to each other. Is this a known issue? If it is, I apologize missing the post. Otherwise, I'd like some

Thanks guys, didn't know you were supposed to have Monday off..but I suppose you're used to it, working in the gaming industry is brutal and thankless. You have to love doing it or you'll just jump off a tower some day, hehe.

[quote quoting="post"] But I have to wonder how I got in the top players list as number 5? I never gave any feedback after the alpha and only played skirmish type games (me vs. computer players). Is it just a time based thing? (I must admit I have been playing it constantly over the last few weeks and am waiting with baited breath for the final Bzzt [/quote] The game was supposed to be rele

Let me use this time to quickly ask one of my own pre-order related questions, if no one minds. It's likely been asked before, but I couldn't find any info by snooping around or searching. Does preordering from here vs. ebgames really make a difference? I was thinking of preordering in store so I could pick up the physical box as soon as possible, but the truth will likely be that those who preordered from here and got the box + digital version will be able to download the
