I'd like to see a mini skill window, similar to what we have for combat stats (health/speed/dmg etc) so we can grab a skill on the fly when leveling up.

Try upgrading your creeps armor. Mist is just a fluff skill. It will not kill upgraded creeps by itself. At best it is an evasion skill that is useful for dodging a killing blow or shrugging off a spit, at worst it's a slow creep killer. Yes, "perma" mist is atainable, and very easily, however, your argument that Erebus can simply bite more to make up for lack of health and armor is a bit naive. Furthermore, insinuating that mist may or may not need a nerf (I am guessing you think it
Well, an editor would be nice, don't get me wrong, but just because the game is based off of Dota doesn't mean it should have an editor.
[quote who="Sly_Squash" reply="11" id="2211068"] I am far more interested in someone providing evidence that global connection are not more prone to being unstable than regional ones. Plenty have claimed it "doesn't matter" that they are from the other side of the world, so it's time to substantiate these claims.[/quote] They can't, and thus the state of this thread.
I like the concede option, but rage quitting is not the same as a concession. Rage quitting is simply leaving becuse you got killed a lot early in the game or leaving because you do not understand some mechanic in the game. It is a total disregard for your teamates, and a selfish act. It should not be rewarded or made light of. Saying GG and leaving because the game cannot be won is totally seperate from Rage Quitting.
what times are you playing? It's a little sparse at the moment. You have GameRanger, Himachi and Demigod itself all splitting the player base. The new patch seems to work quite well though, so I would estimate seeing a lot more people in the coming weeks as the advertising train begins to roll out and DG begins more international distribution.
It would be cool to hit a button and see the hero pics start rolling like a slot machine until it lands on a random one and auto checks the ready button for you.
[quote who="taintofven" reply="18" id="2207854"]every 250+ ping player i've let into my games has caused major problems. most recently, i let two 250+ ping people stay in my 5v5. no one's SIM speed was bad, but the pings were a bit high so the game lagged and was almost unplayable. eventually one of them dropped, and a desync occurred. sorry, based on experience, i'm just going to kick people with over 200ms, because enough uncontrollable stuff coalesces to ruin this g
You guys can talk tech and quote your google research notes all you want, but at the end of the day, for most people, high pings equal laggy games. I dont need to have any IT knowledge whatsoever to to know that 90% of my laggy, unenjoyable games are when there are folks with very high pings.
nope, no plans, many people ask, wish and even demand an editor, but there are no plans at this time to ever release one.
[quote who="WickedBear" reply="13" id="2207310"]So the shouts of cowards of randoming a certain way is already starting? Exactly the reason why I don't want this in demigod. It promotes ill mannered rooms of trivial things that don't even make logical sense. What is the purpose of an all random game? I have yet to figure this out. I don't see the value added by everyone randoming, as opposed to those who just want to type -random at the start. The DOTA(RoC) community in the 7 years I played,
dead is dead. Enemy DG dies, mission acomplished.
Took a break for a few days, was able to connect and start a game in a matter of seconds tonight. Looking good. Thanks SD
Good news. Legitimate players should have no issue with this.
If you bought the game, it's one thing, but the OP has not, and not only does he want his own game half off, but he also wants his two buddies to get in for half also. It's insulting to those of us who purchased the game at release. The coupons are intended to be a thank you for sticking it out during launch. I wish Stardock would regulate them somehow. How about making coupons useable only by those who paid for the game before May 10th, and allow the game to be "gifted", that
yep, i'm in the same boat
Rank only updates once a day (at midnight) and you do indeed get experience for AI, unless something was changed since last pantheon. But you are corect, it is a flawed system. Players give far more ELO weighting than bots. You could play 50 games against AI and still be be out ranked by someone who played 15 against humans, especially if they were higher ranked players.
open impulse, right click on DemiGod and choose "view history"
you are on the correct version, the patch numbers are not the same as the final build version
yea, I was able to finally get a game tonight, but it was a long wait and a lot of hassle. A lot of people where hopping lobbies as well and not giving the lobby a minute or two to fill/settle. I managed to get two games going, one finished normally, the other Desync'd about 45 seconds into the game.
Nice write up. Thanks for taking the time, should help some people
honestly, I'm a bit shocked they nerfed him already. Has not even been a month
