[quote who="Spooky__" reply="16" id="2437423"]Err, yes, that is the point... you thought he didn't know that there was a single player mode, while he actually meant that playing against the AI isn't useful for playtesting.[/quote] No that isn't what I meant too ;) Could have used more words for that point. If you want to learn something about a (new) demigod/hero then it is a good idea to start a single player match. There is no problem to stay 5 minutes at your base and read

I want to give you my 2 Cent for releasing Demigods step by step, too. From my experience with DotA I can tell you that new heroes are always "overpowered" except they are really weak. So when a new DotA version contains one or more new heroes they are always "stronger" than the old heroes, because nobody is used to play against them. Even if you read the abilitys (like you can in Demigod forum too) you will get owned, because ingame experience is worth a lot more. To get used to play against ne

Armor: When you look at your start armor you see that you can have a lot of armor for very small money. Especially demigods with low armor like Rook need armor items. But you need only one item and you can buy hp with it, too. Health recovery: Imho damage of spells is too high to be useful. But some HR is nice against all the small damage you get from creeps/minions and maybe some normal attacks from other players. One item or skill (sedna in team) is

Replays are finished! But we have to wait until they implement some bugs. Now I understand you! Title is a quote from: Journal : "Demigod: Start of September Status Report" http://forums.demigodthegame.com/363381 I think we have to wait for new demigods until they are bugged, too. Omg, even possible they are finished and in the game already, but don have enough bugs! [/sarcasm] Why did frogboy stop comments in his journal? Now we need 5

[quote who="ItchyDustbin" reply="68" id="2363050"] No, not only is the content slow to come out, but so are the bug fixes, the Sedna priest bug was a simple typo in the code that was known for well over 3 months and was submitted in bug reports and forum threads over and over and over because it caused huge imbalances in gameplay and was a blatant bug, it was fixed when? Oh that's right a few weeks ago. Yeah real high priority fixes going on here, takes over 3 months to fix a very imbala

Really nice tool... for other games. Demigod doesn't have the players to select players you want.

I will start with HoN: Basicly it is a 1:1 copy of DotA, same heroes, same map, same items. Heroes walk faster (imho bad). Some advantages in features that DotA can't have, because it is a mod for Warcraft 3. And the main problem for every DotA player: They changed every graphic and name (items too) :( So you have to relearn everything until you can play it at your level. [br/] Now LoL: It is a different game. It is not Demigod, because there are no citadel upgrades and just one map.

Without a good match making - or without some players in there - the stats are totally nonsense. Custom games can be joined by team and they have a huge advantage against the free for all team. Most games are just decided by who gets the best / worst player or team. It is like throwing a die. But the other games are a lot of fun. And if you have a look at my last games you will see that I have always someone with 0:10 stats or worse in my team. Even with knowing some imba tactics you

Lets compare the old Starcraft and Demigod (my opinion): Starcraft beta was like Demigod release or maybe Starcraft was better because they used the normal host-client connection. Starcraft release was like Demigod today. Playable but many bugs, missing features and some balance issues. Starcraft 1.08... possible Demigod 1.2 will be similar. At least both will have replays ;) The problem I see is that today games should be released like Starcraft

Keep in mind that the game runs very slow when someone got a simspeed lower than 0. If it changes between -1 and 0 it could LOOK like it lag, because it switches the game speed. Low sim speed means someone got a slow computer (mainly cpu) and have nothing to do with lag. And finally one tip: Play 3vs3 max, because in the demo a lot of players will play with bad connection and/or download in background etc.

[quote]Replays are all about improving the overall skill level of players and this is what GameReplays.org is all about.[/quote] That is wrong. Replays will lead to better balance, because every unbalanced build can easily be copied (and will be). Replays will help to detect maphacks and other cheats. So replays will not only improve the overall skill level of players. It will improve the game and competive playing, too. </bloc

I would wait until I can play 3vs3 at least. If I decide to stop waiting I will stop waiting. Depends from day to day. To get better games they could try to create games every 15 min or 30 min. So when everyone knows the next games will be created at 20:00 everyone can join in a time frame of 15 / 30 min . This way a lot of players will join at once and they can be sorted by skill etc. With more players the time frame can be lowered. Or in other words: I would wait...

I like Regulus' Dead Eye. In my normal build I get a lot of attack speed, so 3% isn't that low. And this skill comes with no cooldown and you don't have to aim and time the attack to interrupt an enemy skill.

Just to make it clear: Even simspeed -10 wouldn't cause the game to lag! The game will run very slow, so every pc can handle the data. Make sure to read the sticky simspeed thread to understand the meaning of simspeed.

I will waiting for 1.1b or 1.11 or what ever will be the name. Too many bugs got implemented. And gratz for the stat reset BEFORE everything is working correctly... I am looking for an Era that isn't destroyed by bugs since start in the future.

I think there are two ways to get a comeback. The first way you can find in DotA, too. It happens when your team was fighting solo on each lane and suddenly you stick together (like the enemy that owned you before). The second way is to play for a comeback since start. Means you get gold upgrades and save gold for every creep upgrade while buying nearly no items and trying not to die. And after some time all the gold will be spend suddenly for an attack. Ok, there are more ways: 3rd i

Gold I - Like many wrote before, do it as soon as possible. Your team (and even you) will get more gold than paid in no time. The other upgrades are imho to expensive for that fast game. Maybe the 2nd in a 5vs5 game I would buy, when I don't need the gold for items or I got many kills (and so the most gold, too). Tower Upgrade I's - They are cheap and give them skills they don't have before: HP regeneration and AOE. I would get them early and nearly always. The other upgrades don't he

[quote who="TheGuildfordStrangler" reply="2" id="2247024"]I suggest forcing the game to run at lowered settings if the simspeed drops to a level below 0.[/quote] I have less sim speed than others, but a good pc, so i tried to lower settings. The result was that I got just graphic bugs till a new match loaded. Plus I know I don't have a high-end cpu. So sim speed depends mostly on cpu and all settings depend on graphic card. And it doesn't help to lower settings ingame.

AI got worse than before (imho). More suicid and more stupid moving. E.g. Sedna moved in a line from bottom to top instead of running directly away from me, standing right, to healinng crystal at left. _____ Connection worse than before. I got 5 games in a row where I couldn't join the lobby and I never(!) had that problem.

If you don't have a girlfriend then you can look for this:

Some games ago I saw an Oak which ghosts dealed more damage than all 6 heroes on the map could do together. And I don't have to mention that we got raped by him, because there is not much you can do against it. (-> everyone have to know the anti strat) ///// But I still think Erebus is the perfect assassin in the game. Jump in, deal damage while healing himself, stun if enemy wants to run away, jump out. I don't want to tell you that he is imbalanced. The problem is that he is perfectly desig

At first I want to say that there is no real problem with a minimum sim speed of at least 0, because every match can be played with normal speed this way. To increase you performance you can try to update driver... bla bla (I think you know the typically answers ;) ) Or maybe it is time for a clean windows installation. And try all settings.

@ass128: Try to reset your router. Always helped me in this situation.

I always get a lot of hp items because 1) there are so many skills that do a hell of damage (sniper...). 2) most other items are crap especially +damage (imho) 3) you get other bonuses like mana and armor I never ended with 8000 hp but about 5000 hp is normal when I don't need mana for mass heal or something else. And I always get Citadel upgrades so I don't have the gold for so much hp.

For all people that want players rate Karma: Have a look at Xbox Live. After your first 10 online matches all of your friends and clanmates rated you positive and you have a 5-star ranking. When same people rate you bad your friends will just rate you good again. So get a system that gives Karma automatic. And for flaming or something that can't be detected automatic you need some helper that give bad Karma after a screenshot proofed the bad behaviour. Like it is done at dota-league.com ;)
