I don't have a lot of experience with competative DOTA type games and their online communities...but I will say this experience has forever turned me off from them. Demigod had such a cool premise and I really liked the game...but once I started going online (after beating the SP portion a few times) it was literally sickening. I haven't even played in over a month because every single match I joined was filled with foaming at the mouth belligerent retards. Basically just ch

This was one of the most painful forum posts I have ever read. The OP and his ridiculous post represents all that is wrong with this world. MarkyX, you should be embarrassed of what you did here. May god have mercy on your soul.

Maybe it was a business decision (time/cost/technical issues/ect vs projected amount of players they felt they would pickup)...and not them "being lazy". I tell ya...I have a real contempt for the kids these days who run around calling developers "lazy"...it's unbelievable.

I suck...either that or the people I play are just freaking pro gamers or something. It's not even fun anymore...last night got 2 shotted by a regulus character...we both were level one. At that point I just quit...and I do feel bad for that. But honestly the game isn't much fun for a casual player like me. Maybe if there were lower "ranks" where I could play with other similarly skilled players that would be one thing...but getting totally "owned" with no hope to even

This is a ridiculous statement. You don't treat your car like your pots and pans. You don't treat a rug like a house plant. You don't treat software like a refridgerator. This is a very silly thying to say, and software is very very

Anyways, can I come over and have some of your things since stealing is perfectly ok with you. Can I copy your homework too? Maybe if you ever come up with a great idea I'll take that too...you know...since that kind of thing is perfectly moral.

[quote who="BGH122" reply="7" id="2180246"] Quoting Renevent, reply 4 Actually, you are the one without any real justifications on why what you do is not wrong. Stealing is wrong because if everyone stole games, the commercial game market would crumble. If everyone just stole everything our entire economy would crumble and our society would fall apart. These games are created on the principal that if a person(s) invest their time and money they will receiv

[quote who="BGH122" reply="3" id="2180210"] Quoting Renevent, reply 1 Stealing food to survive is one thing and different scenario that *may* qualify for a different perspective...stealing a completely unessesary object for entertainment is wrong. There is no weaseling around this. You are not enlightened...you are a criminal. Oh look! Infallibilism has reared its ugly head yet again. "It's wrong because I say it's wrong". Sorry, your argument just doesn't work

[quote who="BGH122" reply="23" id="2180184"] Quoting Renevent, reply 21You must have failed that course. Clearly you know nothing about ethics. You believe you are correct in your presumption that "stealing is stealing: it is always wrong". Philosophers call this Deontological ethics. It is widely renowned as simply backwards and inflexible, unable to deal differing scenarios from an enlightened view. Without the God theory to back it up it just folds. Kant made a good stab a trying

Sorry if I don't empathize with poor people that steal games. At any rate, I know you steal games, I don't have to know you personally to see you don't respect other people's hard work.

"I'm currently taking a crouse in philosophy with a focus on epistemology, ethics and political philosophy." You must have failed that course.

Enjoy the action packed AI bouts in single player. If you want to play with the rest

"How can I put this in the nicest way possible? Screw you. I have no money. I buy what I can afford. I wish it were different but it's not." This is part of the reason why you have no money ;) Your sorry attitudes and disregarding of people's hard work (lack of appreciation of hard work) is probably why you are a lazy poor person. Enjoy your gaming welfare...because that's what torrents basically are these days.

Wow...what moral bull****. Piracy is wrong because you are taking someone else's hard work without paying for it. Period. You are not entitled to a game little child...developers don't owe you them. There are no garunteed purchases, everything comes with a risk of dissastifaction. Sometimes you go to a movie and don't like it...but you still pay for your two hours at the movie theater. It's how society works and is the reason there are other movie

And even still, they get a shotgun.

Good suggestion...very good in fact.

The way I look at the demigod is a supportive type general with push capabilities. With his offessive skills (aura, buff, summon, scything sweep) you can make strong pushes, although they are short lived and would be hard to keep momentum over long periods of time. And he has of course the tactical aspects like the walls, building buffs, and turret placements. I see some variation in style, maybe not as much as other demigod's, but the options are certainly there.

He summons them from the bones of the fallen and they construct from out of the ground. And I added a offensive skill that should do some nice damage as well as a damage dealing aura that also reduces the effectiveness of enemy units.

Hah! Yup, I did miss ability 4 :P *edit* Ok added a new offensive skill. Should round out the demigod a bit more, giving him some more options in how you play him.

He does have a summon that when fully invested with his passives and his buffs could be powerfull for direct confrontation...along with his turrets. A tactic might be something like lay down a turret, summon your minions, and cast one of the buffs and assualt while the duration of you summon is active. But maybe I will replace one of the buffs with some kind of aoe aura as maybe two buffs might be redundant...

Name of Demigod: Tactician (temporary name, more of a description) Type of Demigod: General General description: General focused on building and buff'in structures to give tactical advantages to the battlefield. General basics: This is a dark general, who was charged with fortfying the gates of the underworld. He is undead and rides an undead horse. He is kind of squishy (although he can buff himself to be rather tough) and does not have much in the w

Read both of your posts above my initial response to you...what I said was spot on regarding your attitude towards gaming and the people you encounter online. Good day.

I would be careful and maybe even think twice about a Karma system...Savage 2 had one and all it ended up turning out to be was a way for sore losers to "pay back" the winners of the game.

Would love in game voice chat, and I think it would make this game a better multiplayer experience. Agree with all that spoke about mic abuse, but I think benefits are greater than the possible abuse of the system.
