I can't tell you how frustrating it is to work on a bug for an extended period of time, to have someone look over your shoulder and point out where the problem is. Having a fresh pair of eyes is invaluable.
I think he stated his position and response to it pretty well. He admits to not really liking multiplayer games because of things like this. That's fine and good, what more do you want from him? He thinks it is reasonable to play 3v3 with an AI, but there are those who don't. It is their decision to play without AI and all GPG and Stardock can do is support them and help them do that, which they are with the new "no ai" command. If quitting a game with AI is objectifying other peoples' time,
And yet all of the reasons you stated apply to what we have now for the most part. Difficult decision? "Well, I need more damage. Do I get Mageslayer now or save for Ashkandor?" You can sell your early items for a benefit later on. My argument against recipes isn't that it will be too hard to figure out, although I think it's a good one, it's that it adds complexity for little to no benefit. It seems like you can get all the benefit of ite
This was one of my least favorite parts of All Stars and one of the main reasons I only ever played DotA 3.7. It just makes the game less accessible and diverts your attention from what is fun about the game, the combat and interaction with other people.
Or they could just make the generals less powerful as assassins and more powerful as generals. Just a thought.
[quote quoting="post"] Here’s my personal preference list for v1.1 in brief: Favor points increased by a factor of 10. Option to Concede. Would let players quit a game they feel they’re losing. Their Demigod is removed. If all players from that team concede, the game is over. Smart Quitting. If someone exits within the first 3 minutes, there’s no harm, no foul. It counts as a disconnect but not a loss. Sometimes there&rsq
[quote who="BeardKing" reply="10" id="2202444"]I share a similar sentiment that I had expressed in another thread. I am not sure if Erebus is OP, I play almost all the demigods, less rook and torch bearer, and holding them in juxtaposition I can honestly say I never really had a problem with him (and in another thread posted some methods for dealing with him). I worry a great deal about a nerf so early in the games development when a competitive seen has even yet to developed. Based purely on
It's a cool idea and one that has been thought of by many people for many different games. The problem with it, is that it doesn't support the core mechanic of Demigod, which is controlling your demigod. Instead it turns it into a rather trivial game of RTS chicken. There really isn't too much depth of strategy with this, and it just distracts from the rest of the game. Cool idea for a game... that's not Demigod.
I really like Exile. I think the layout is pretty decent. My friends and I usually play fortresses anyways so we don't have all the flags. And no, the Heart of Life trinket is not the same as a one-sided free healing bonus.
[quote who="Tidus1492" reply="3" id="2200710"]Yea, at the start of every game I hit tilde 11 times.. I count to myself, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11! It's a sick little ritual now.[/quote] What is 11? I always do 5 which turns on all bars. Is this documented somewhere?
[quote who="Chaoticon" reply="4" id="2202074"]I tried this because I thought it would be neat but I could never get it to work. Doesn't really matter much though because they can just push the other side or use the two crystals in the middle.[/quote] In a game like this, any inequality that gives one side an advantage is huge. Also, not all game types have those extra crystals.
I've found something on Exile that seems like an exploit, but I can't find anyone else talking about it. If you stand on the path opposite your healing crystal that is inside your base, you can get close enough to receive its healing and mana regen. This makes defending one's right-side path trivial. Fight, lose some health or mana, run a few feet back, heal up to full, and run out to fight again. This is of course less of an issue when playing Conquest as you have the other crystals
