[quote who="MichiganQ11" reply="24" id="2247832"]i dont think ppl that say 2 rooks or something is the same as 2 beasts are getting the picture...Its the fact that u can't escape that combination of the slow down, speed, grasp, and spit that is overpowered. Even two spits itself is not overpowered and I agree with that. I'm just saying, there are no other combination that allows for that type of stun and slowdown in addition to 3000 damage every 8 secs that make escape impossible.[/quote]

[quote who="OrleanKnight" reply="18" id="2236096"]Bots will still be in Elemental. He's just removing the concept of Bots joining the game like real players, which they did in Pantheon, and no one liked that idea.[/quote] Which was totally the correct decision. While I think a mode against a variety of learning, custom, unique bots could be interesting, when I click the Multiplayer button instead of the Singleplayer button, it's to play against /with other

How much resources does XFire take to record, and how good are the options? I've been meaning to possibly record some Demigod or something at some point, but I remember FRAPS being incredibly resource heavy.

[quote]Well. this is not exactly an MMO, so maybe you're right. In comparison, what do I know or understand about Demigod? Hopefully the bots would've been improved, but since everyone hates them, might as well remove them all together.[/quote] Remove from competitive multiplayer? Yes. Remove from everything? Heck no. Bots are excellent to learn with, and the occassional comp stomp can be amusing. [quote]I also see a lot of NO NOOBS comments in th

[quote who="Hannibal777" reply="5" id="2235984"]Everything sounds great but the tower thing seems odd. I think I remember tower giving experience.[/quote] They don't. You can notice this by pushing a lane with towers but no DGs or creeps.

It's Prison. Prison is, in my opinion, the worst map ever. One side or the other gets horribly and completely trounced every game. I don't think I've ever seen a game of prison with fewer than a 10-15 kill difference between the teams. You were just on the wrong side. Now, that said, I find an early Shield helps give Oak and his teammates a much needed survivability boost.

I think it's a HP scaling issue. I consider TB to be one of the better late game heroes as I play him, but I simply could never chew through 8K HP unless the target was AFK.

[quote who="Lord Cinnamon" reply="11" id="2216129"]I just got horribly slaughtered by two UB, as torchbearer. I sat through it, but the thought "spit is overpowered" was basically all I could think (as if me losing would imply anything, with a grand 2 online games on my resume =P ), together with utter terror when I encountered the illustre duo. But I'll see if any of this helps. It seems to make sense. Thanks for the effort [/quote] A few tip

[quote who="Sythion" reply="21" id="2215961"]He was a dick, sure. He did occasionally have a good point, but he did more to derail threads then support them. I'm not 100% sure I would have kicked him from the forums, but probably would have. However, banning him from ever purchasing a SD game again is overboard. He was banned because the community didn't like him, given a refund and banned from DG because he requested one, and banned from ever using SD again because Frogboy didn't

Orb of Defiance is a useable item that makes you invulnerable for 5 seconds, and it cleanses all debuffs, including Venom Spit. It also acts like a Nimoth replacement (+500 HP, +500 Armor) passively as well. So, you can remove Spit and still have a free favor slot. Edit: The monk thing (buy, cast, sell) is an exploit though, and shouldn't be part of your recommendations. Hopefully that's on the to do list for a fix in the near future. Still an exc

[quote who="Busdude" reply="8" id="2215721"]I would suggest decreasing Bestial Wrath's mana cost by 100 at every level, and changing the duration and recharge from 7 and 15, to 10 and 20. It should also switch cast times with Venom Spit meaning BW gets 0.3 and VS gets 0.5 Spit could use a slight nerf too, an increase of recharge from 7 to 10, a decrease of range of 66%, and 2 spits shouldn't stack.[/quote] A gigantic cast time increase (66%), a gigantic coold

If you're getting kills without Foul Grasp (outside of 2v1s or the occasional fluke), your opponents are so new at the game that no reasonable conclusions can be drawn. Honestly, that's just ridiculous, and if I ended up in that game, I would hit you on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. And for that matter, you only rarely kill a general 1v1 in the game without at least three buttons (venom, ooze, foul grasp), as they all have pretty good defenses against spit.

I've been having crash problems in custom games, which is a new issue to the 5/18/08 patch I believe. This is the error report: Failed assertion: Reached the supposably unreachable.

[quote who="Vesuvius"]Vengeance and Vyper, your arguments hinge on the premise that doing something in your own interest at the expense of others is bad. This premise is inconsistent with the manner in which you are applying it. Leaving a game early is self serving and does have a negative impact on the remaining players, but it is equally self serving to demand that another person spends their time with you when that person does not want to and this will also have a negative impa

I would like to see Rook Towers fundamentally changes to be: a. more killable overall b. Take less of Rook's time Power off the Tower is four skill points ever, so it should give 4 skill points worth of effect, or to state it another way, even a Tower based Rook should be required to do other things in order to be effective. That's why I say each tower should be 50% more mana, 50-75% more damage, and the same HP, but you get only 1

Frogboy, Pretty please with sugar on top, do NOT allow a single player to concede without penalty. It should be a team decision or nothing. Even if you remove the demigod (rather than allow the AI to feed), it still greatly disadvantages the remaining teammates. People do need to be encouraged to finish games. As for additional features (most of these are repeats): 1. Replays are a big one. 2.A few UI changes: a. Health and

[quote who="Sythion" reply="3" id="2210758"]however, I wouldn't mind if brand new players started with about 500 favor instead of 0.[/quote] They start with 150 I believe. I wouldn't mind if it was more per se, but the Charm of Life is actually an excellent beginner favor item, because it increases survivability and reduces the death penalty, and newer players will and should die, as it takes a little while to learn when to run, when to chase, how much damage a certain

I feel like this is a matchmaking issue more than anything. People who can't afford the cheaper good favor items have only played a few games, and I shouldn't be playing with them at all, short of custom games. Also, one of my concerns with your suggestion, line0042, is that favor items that were only available at higher war ranks would have to be ridiculously good to compete. Economically speaking, a small benefit now has to be counterbalanced by a large benefit later,

For one, I strongly believe in conceding games when they are finished, but the people I call "rage quitters" are those who quit within the first 5-10 minutes because things went slightly unacceptable. That's like quitting a game of chess because you lost a pawn. It's ridiculous, and it's unfair to all of the remaining players. For two, the way I would handle concessions is this: There is a vote to surrender which anyone can pick (minimum X minutes between votes, so that

My change to HoL would be to simply double the heal duration. That alone would probably balance it, as you would have a lot more downtime, and it would be harder to get the full duration without being cancelled by angels or trebuchets or whatever. There are some hidden gems in the trinket section. Narmoth's ring is actually a very good item for certain heroes, for example.

[quote who="stryker247" reply="25" id="2207604"]spit is ok mid to late its when you are level 1 to bout 10 or so. I mean i get hit 1 time i need to get back to base . sp IMO they need to decrease the range in the beginning and increase it as you level the skill. Also alot of abilities are kinda op early in the game as well. So what can be done?[/quote] I'm not even sure Spit would be on the list of OP skills early game. There

[quote who="Haree78" reply="15" id="2207207"]My main issue with UB is combined with mostly any other DG he gets a garaunteed kill if he can get near another DG at the same level. As a rook yesterday with tons of HP items and the HP favor item I could not survive the other 2 UBs would come over, both spit then take it in turns to stun me, auto attacking all the time. They just run from my partner then as I didn't do any damage to them so they weren't even slightly bothered. &n

Custom game: Seems to be pretty good, but there generally is one guy who cannot connect to one other person, despite, say, connecting to 7 others. Sometimes a rejoin fixes it, but on occassion the rejoining player loses their slot, so a little work here wouldn't be bad. Mostly good. Pantheon: I've run into a lot of problems tonight that half / all the game drops the second the map loads. I can connect to people, including in Pantheon, so I don't think it's an issue on m

[quote who="ABecks" reply="4" id="2206869"]I agree, I either think the range on spit needs to be reduced, or the damage. Or we need more counters.[/quote] Um, what? Sedna's Heal is actually overpowered against UB if anything, removing Spit and healing a huge amount of damage. This can be cast on other players. Oak's Shield removes it, heals him, and makes him immune to damage for X seconds. This can be cast on othe
