I dont know... I tend to play Reg/TBfire/Erb, in that order my time. I have dominated with each of those, agianst all 8 demigods. I have also gotten dominated by all 8 demigods while playing. I think the game is relativly balanced. Could it use some tweaks, yea. I firgue after about 5 years the balancing issues will be worked out. The reaso nit takes so long, is because the ballance issues are not drastic, so small corrections are

[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="13" id="2228813"] Heart of Life is several kills worth of gold. The fact that they need one and you don't helps balance things out. Besides, angels pretty much negate the HoL. You don't get a Heart of Life so you can camp out in front of their base. You get a Heart of Life every single game for every hero because it's the best item in the game. Angels don't negate it if you're competent. [/quote]

I did the math on what upload speeds one need to play this game: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/353556 If the OP only has a 15k upload speed, that is barely enough for a 2v2.

[quote who="Istari" reply="4" id="2225379"]v1.01 of Demigod is designed to use less bandwidth. BTW, 5 on 5 Demigod uses around 26K per second right now now 36K per sec. [/quote] Im sorry but for now I will say that I personally reccomed 36k for 5v5. That is the theoretical max one should need. I understand that it is often not what is needed, but that is what MAY be needed based on 4k a person. And that number is from Istari. For

I did a write up on the numbers: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/353556

If you stupid enough to get in a 2v1 ( and yes it happens to me sometimes) then you deserve to lose.

[quote who="BeaverwithaGun" reply="8" id="2225289"]Has anyone used the 34 month payment option? How exactly does the interest work with that? [/quote] It works by you bending over. Seriously a 34 month plan? Dont buy it if you cant afford it. That is almost a 3 (2.9)year plan. They charge from 15-30% apr interest https://www.alienware.com/Payment_Pages/Titanium/Apply.asp

Just a heads up but Gold/exp gained from killing a demigod is baded on their lvl. So killing a lvl 1 net nowhere near what killing a lvl 20 does. So there is a built in mechanic to make the death of a weaker player less useful/damaging. Also there is an option for custom games to change the death pentaly, so I would think this issue is already adressed in game. If you dont like noramal setting, host your own games.

[quote who="muusbolla" reply="1" id="2225158"] quoting post Now I have Att DSL Express With an actual upload close to the advertised 384 kb/s. It is also my understanding that K and kb represent the same thing, Kilobyte (please correct me if I am wrong). I believe that the discussion of bandwidth used was using kB (kilobytes) but most ISPs rate their speed in kb (kilobits). This means that if your ISP rates your upload at 384 kb/s, thi

First off did you contact Stardock? If not then do so. Do you have anything running in the background, or is any one else on your network? These have cause issue for mean, as in a really high unstable ping. Closing background programs that connect to the internet, and not haveing anyone else on you internet connection sonve my ping issues, maybe it will help you. If not Stardock offers 1 on 1 problem solving. And if you wonder who these people

Ok, most people who have internet have larger download speeds than upload speeds. As a result many are having connection issues in game due to the upload rates. From what I have read Demigod requireds 4 k/s for each player in the game (not including self). http://forums.demigodthegame.com/353092 posted by Istari on page 1. It is also my understanding that K and kB represent the same thing, Kilobyte (please correct me if I am wrong).&nbsp

I think built in is always the way to go. I first started unsing voip in BF2142. Why the heck you would want to mess with vent or TS i dont know. First you need a 3rd part app. Then you need to fin the "room" and if you want it to be public, then anyone can join it, including the other team. yes a password would solve this but it complicated things for the casual player. If its built in, then you use say button 1 for p

Kicking someone for a STABLE ping under 400 is stupid. Anything under that wont make a differance and we all know it. What kills me is there are ping spikes when someone joins, for like 5 secs, and then it settles and many hosts kick for that too. Ping is not a real issue for this game, it is the bandwith usage. I can play it just fine at my place (356k upload). But if someone else (say on a loptop) is connected to my network, even if they are no

Hmm with war rank at normal creeps dont affect the game that much. Mosy people are stupid and will get priests and angels. To me those units need a buff, becasue currently all they do is feed. It is best to wait to get cats or giants at the same time as priests. I dont see how creeps control the game, then agian I am a Reg/TBfire player, so creep controll isnt that hard.

PC are not xboxs or PS3s. And they should not be. PCs over a much better gaming experiance, but it is at the cost of complexity. See, every Xbox or PS3 is the same. Not every PC is. This can complicate things for the PC user. But as a PC games, most of us have a good understanding of how PCs work, and can follow simple instruction such as opening/forwarding port. In fact MOST online games mention in the manul that forwarding port may

You are probably getting hit because of your processor. While it is above the minimum, it is not all that much better. These day games are optamized for multiple cores. Even though my cores are only 2.4 (the minimum) I have 3 of em. As a result my sim speed will be better.

Here is my solution to people who quite. (I am a long time lurker btw). The current AI is terrible. It just suicides and gives the other team gold and exp. This = fail. One suggestion has been to just remove the Demigod. This also = fail. It leave a void, even if that void is just cannon fodder. Another suggestion is to remove gold awarded for killing the AI. This to me kind of works. I dont htink it whouil
