HoN's lobby and ui owns demigod in every concievable way. In fact when you look at the multiplayer lobby of HoN then compare it to what's on offer in Demigod, it's literally an almost laughing matter.

Having played HoN for a solid week now and being totally addicted i can safely say there's no going back to Demigod. It's actually laughable when you compare the mutliplayer lobby of HoN to Demigod. There's no way Demigod is ever going to get to the same standard, no matter what they promise.
Yeah i have to say while on one hand i prefer being able to clearly see what's being written i find the chatbox now is way too obtrusive and distracting. Definitely needs reworking.
Love how with every patch they mention what's going to be in it, then people are like OMGSURPRISED when not everything under the sun isnt on the change notes and cry to high heaven. Retarded as.
Werd, i've noticed an increase in ingame shittalking too. It's becoming more like DOTA by the day.
There's some serious need of L2P in this thread. There was definitely something broken with favour early on. I had a few hundred favour and was saving up and then one day, boom, i had like 7k worth. And i am bet I am not the only one who randomly got favour for god knows what. Pretty sure most people complaining got their favour that way also.
I'm still pissed that 1.1 didn't make the Chinese Government acknowledge the Tiananmen massacre.
According to http://forums.demigodthegame.com/357324 it's a one off.
Do we keep previously bought items?
The old chat didnt need fixing, it just needed an option to stay on screen imo. Not a fan of it fading so fast, needing to basically type or press enter to see it. That being said I am at work and havent been able to see the new one yet.
The HoL was ezmode because rather than needing to buy potions for health or mana or you know, that old concept of returning to the base to heal, you could instead step a few places away from your enemy, completely recharge and be back in the battle within seconds. If you play Oak, you can just shield and run away while using it, getting an even easier complete heal very very often. Anyone who still ceases to see how powerful that ability is in the hands of a strong player basical
I had high hopes for this rant, but as usual, another one down the crapper.
The HoL was basically ezmode removing the need to use things like potions. While i think the price is a little excessive, im glad it's been somewhat nerfed as it was a bs item that in the right hands was ridiculously op'd.
Yeah that is a shame it was taken due to that. Hell i actually used it in a post the other day as ammo showing demigod ISNT dead! I used to browse forums while flickering a glance at it and if i saw AUS games hosted i'd usually jump on in. From time to time i've actually hosted a game, alt-tabbed, started browing and checked that page to see if MY game was filling up. Found it extremely useful and really miss it now it's gone.
Server stats are suddenly gone? http://www.demigodthegame.com/errors/PageNotFound.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/opengames.aspx I used to use this for finding if any active games were hosted prior to loading the game - any idea why it's suddenly gone?
Played a game last night with aussies and singaporeans -wwhich is usually fine latency wise and despite fairly good pings, it was choppy as hell due to one person being proxied.
Heh you say you've been around since the BBS days Frogboy, you should know better. I too have been around since those days and spent far too much time on forums, involved in a myriad of gaming communities etc etc. Of course I have not been involved in a forum community where I am involved in the creation of a product/s that the community is based around though I have seen communities wriggle and writhe and frankly, I would be surprised if there was actually a community out there that was 100%
IMO it's both a good and a bad design decision putting so much into the existing demigods. On the good hand they look fantastic and have terrific animations(despite imo some of the worst voice acting ever). On the other hand as you have demonstrated you cant easily add new ones. Same deal with the maps, you have severely limited yourself by creating them on basically 3d backgrounds etc. New things are the lifeblood of games with online communities nowadays. I think League of Leg
God cant believe how many of you havent included company of heroes. /shocked
I agree, you dont need 30+ demigods, but for varieties sake the more the merrier. IMO you need at least twice as many as there are now. Hell i'd be even looking at adding model variants to the existing ones so we have different looking players with the same abilities- ie maybe a female oak, another variant on oak etc - all do'able, just a similar model and associated animations. Variety is the spice of life
IMO LoL is either going to completely nail the DOTA gameplay style and be a fantastic game, or is going to be completely crap. It's graphics are pretty distinctly inspired by warcraft 3's and I am not completely sold on them yet. I suspect the full product will either look superb or like something from the 90's. I think it is going to need to be a very very good game to beat Demigod in the DOTA stakes though one thing i think it will have in its favour are maps. One of the thing
Note the sarcasm before stats which clearly show healthy activity. /sigh fanboys
