No DG is overpowered but Lord Erebus with heavy gear. UB does need a bit of "fixing". TB and QoT prob. could use some fixin too (minor buffs) all the others are mostly fine (and please don't say the Rook is UP, he's just perfect and can make many wins or losses depending how good/bad you play him)
Torch Bearer - because he is just so cool!
I will have to think its all about getting people connected. 2v2 does have a much higher chance of getting all Humans to play. That being said, me as UB and another guy as TB did get paired against 2 sednas... and yes it was painful for a while
[quote]What's with all the bigger more commercialized companies (ie. EA) that make tremendous amounts of money but still charge $50-$60 for a game.[/quote] For a couple years now i stay clear of EA and all their games. most of them now are just a useless incomplete bugged overpriced bag of poo. I have to admit i had no clue whatsoever about stardock - i bought the game because: played the only available "demo" version the price is
[quote]Forgive me, I assumed you had played this game before. Most teams when they lose only get like 15-30 points per person. So, yes, 80 is a significant number in this case.[/quote] To get 80 FP on a loosing team means that player had to earn a LOT of medals... it is definately NOT easy to get a score like that loosing - so yeah, sry but i think it's totally deserved.
[quote]think i would have an easier time paying for people to fly out to my house and setup a lan, then pay for them to fly home after each match.[/quote] So.. how much money are we talking about? do i need to bring my own PC? do you provide food and cool beverages? (beer for me, please) thx
[quote]I don't think there is any balance issues with individual characters. The imbalance become obvious with how certain high gold items scale the character. Using the right combination of gear can really exploit some of the strengths of your character to almost exploitive levels. Some of the gear needs to be nerfed a bit, and gold for player kills needs to be reduced.[/quote] Signed. Specially Lord Erebus on a rampage - that's a big "run for your lifes!" sign to me In regar
[quote]Or just run away. However, that's obviously the pay back for it having the most damage, by far, of any ability in the game.[/quote] I found that UB's Venom Spit dealing 1500 DoT works much better, because one can actually land quite a few hits. also, if you're fast enough, Spit/melee/foul grasp/spit is an amazing combo that will do a HUGE amount of damage (even more if you add ooze). So while in theory 1700dmg looks awesome, i really dont bother going past lvl2 on hamm
dunno... but "Freeze, dirtbag!" is pretty decent
And i (like many others, i am sure) thank you for another great wall of text! Things have surely gotten better, and i can just see how they are about to "just work" for many of us if all works as planned... does this mean we can start nagging GPG now? :P
Speaking of hammer slam, it just has to be THE most interruptable ability in the game. Any good player will see it coming and smite/pounce/silence/grasp/freeze/etc etc etc...
as an example on cataract i have managed do (almost solo) hold position on 1 of the enemy portals for over 5 minutes - when i knew i was going down i flag locked, teleported, bought catas, and whent back in :) So playing offensive doesnt mean go out and die, sometimes capping/defending strategic points turns the whole game - and IMHO thats the whole point on playing rook
(where's the delete button anyway?)
[quote]If favor points are totally buggy, then take them out until you can figure it out. [/quote] I hate to see people put the favor issue above others... here's an idea: play with favor turned off!
i want demigod on my cellphone too... [e digicons];P[/e]
[quote]I've even seen it where my team wins and I get like 110 favor points for healing and the enemy TB gets like 80 even though his team lost. All because TB killed a ton of creeps, and healing is not tracked.[/quote] You make no sense - your healing helped your team win, hence you get more pts (110 IS higher than 80)
+1 here, no nat/router issues - just ctd on fail to connect
While most of my connectivity issues are gone, i still get the ocasional and random "NAT facilitator" disconnects/timeouts. because i have a feeling many share the same issue, is this something that is also being looked into? Other than that, can't wait to start reading about new ideas!
[quote who="dyingsole" reply="17" id="2171014"] This is why i'm hanging in Frogboy. This game is gold. I love the deathmatch style RTS and I'm having a blast with it. I'm hoping more for what the game could be and not faulting it for the small fixable problems its having now.[/quote] I can't say the problems didn't leave me in a really bad mood, they did - spending hours in lobby to be able to get into a single game was painful. Yet, things have been working much better (for me,
[quote who="Adepht" reply="22" id="2171085"]I personally don't think about Giants as good creeps. Yes, they are fat, but usless if you are not Regul. They can't hurt heroes coz they still suck at DD(if you are not playing on extra powerful creeps...), they can't do anything alone(coz 1 AoE spell and all other than giants is wiped. And what will those BSF do?). I'm trying to say that creeps is nothing without heroes.[/quote] While i agree, i also think a wave or 2 of cre
[quote]8.) That brings me to my final point, thought this is not feedback or a recommendation but rather a heads up. The point is that there are a lot of us that will pay a monthly subscription fee for an online game that runs well, has excellent gameplay, flawless execution, and ongoing content updates. The model for this is MMO's but I think think this could go well for an RTS that is constantly introducing new maps, units, heroes, and abilities/skills/spells. Basically, a lot of us are lo
[quote]Also the team that is controling the map, killing the enemy should have a advantage.[/quote] Uh, no... different modes need different tactics. i don't even need to kill the enemy to win (unless its slaughter) Here's the result of a game against the AI:
[quote who="Ouchy Dathurts" reply="22" id="2168021"]What about when people have more favor than they know what to do with? This does nothing anymore =P[/quote] Well, some people seem to like stats - so i would add the number (and percentage) of quitted matches to the player stats.
[quote]i cant even connect to any games since last update.... thinking about getting my money back and play this game by hamachi...[/quote] I just hope any and all future updates have a 0% chance of getting released to pirated copies - like new demigods and such...
