If you're a GM why didn't you just handle it yourself?

Yes, but I disagree with your premise so there's not much point. There are currently no particularly strong pairings between specific DGs. There are DGs that work together, but because of general strengths, not specific abilities which outright do not function outside of the pairing. It's not as though Surge of Faith only enhance's UB's speed. I just don't see how Uproot in its proposed form would be useful when rook weren't present. Not compared to just shielding yours

[quote]neither will I if "u" cant spell... didnt "no" this forum was ultra formal. That *edit* sounds ridiculous in an informal environment. Not wanting to make this a big issue but sounds like you thought i was 'attacking' you when i said what i said.[/quote]Obviously typos, not a conscious choice like the AoLspeak. *edit* Yes, I realize I didn't put a verb in that sentence.

[quote who="gkrit" reply="110" id="2527855"]can u give me a detailed explanation as to why they are. Its no use to me if u just say... "QoT+Rook is absolutely ridiculous with this mod. QoT vs. Rook is also ridiculous." if ur not happy with it, justify it.[/quote]I apologize if I'm mistaken, but I believe we went over this several months ago? Rook's towers will become anchors for QoT's AoE, which does more damage than Ooze with a larger radius as it heals the tower. Granted

Rank 1 Blast Off was likely given a shitty radius because it insta-kills creeps when used in melee range, which any other DG would have to give up a favor item to replicate and also and because it doesn't make a whole shitload of sense for a level 1 character's burst damage to be miles ahead of everyone else's. This mod breaks rank 1 Blast Off. QoT+Rook is absolutely ridiculous with this mod. QoT vs. Rook is also ridiculous.

[quote]*taps again on shoulder* *coughs* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxrJlLgitnc[/quote]Tapping on someone's shoulder and coughing implies you disagree with them, FYI. The line you responded to acknowledged the possibility of something like the wow signal, I was disagreeing with the guy who called us a tiny spec.

[quote]The Great Depression wasn't a good and natural thing, it was a bunch of people being stupid with bad things happening to them as a direct result. You don't reward idiocy with a pat on the head and a government check (lol, welfare) because they idiots.[/quote]The majority of people on welfare (before this most recent crisis anyway) were on it for less than two year fyi. Most people don't like being on welfare. It's embarrassing.

Splitshadow, If you considerable reasonable taxes to build roads; protect people from crime and hostile nations and their citizens; provide basic welfare services, the majority of which goes to children; provide basic education so people can rise out of their class tiers; and so on as negative and tyrannical aspects of government like some kind of Rand acolyte then I'm more than happy to disagree with you. I read a shitload of Rand in my late teens and early 20s and could never figure

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="50" id="2522066"]We just need more power to do it. Somehow. We won't get mass effect technology until we uncover hidden alien ruins on Mars. Just one more reason to get there.[/quote]And it's absolutely gotta be living humans who do it because you need a hand to activate the colonization mechanism they left behind.

[quote]Because, you know, we've met so many different species and if there are those that have evolved beyond their own solar system, I am sure they'd find just our tiny little speck in the middle of nowhere. Seriously. [/quote]We're not just a tiny spec in the middle of nowhere unless you're talking about the universe as a whole. If you're talking about a large enough sample area in which you'd expect other life to have developed/traveled, then we're a pretty massive, expandi

[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="36" id="2521977"]There is no way to get machines out of our galaxy either. Machines need power, there is no power in some parts of space. Right now we're trying to drive from VA to CA with a car that gets 1mpg and tank that holds 4mL of gasoline. Also, there are only four or five gas stations left in the country, and if you accidentally get too close to one, you die. And after the first few miles you lose control of your car. And you driving on a crowded highwa

Don't get me wrong, I'm as interested in a cloud city on Venus as the next guy, but I don't think we're going to leave our own solar system in the next century. I seriously doubt we'll ever make it out of the Milky Way. There's no evidence to suggest that any other race has ever made it out of their own near space, on some level you've gotta admit the odds are against us being the first. I hate it, but I just don't think we're going to last as a civilization until that point unless so

[quote]Are you really arguing that human suffering only occurs in free-market economies? When you come up with a better set of principles around which to organize a society, do let us know.[/quote]I don't have to. I already live in a country where a generally free market is regulated by the government.

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="35" id="2519973"]This is certainly debatable opinion. There is nothing in history that would suggest your opinion is the correct one, however. Failure is a regular feature of a free economy and my opinion is that's a good and healthy thing for society as a whole.[/quote]The only way you can interpret history to prove your point is if you discount the human expenses of the Great Depression and the one which could possibly have followed inaction on Bush's p

[quote]Bestial Wrath has crazy synergy with Artifacts, Inner Beast and UB's already very high DPS and attack speed. For the vast majority of the game, Spit does more damage for less mana than Wrath. This is no longer the case when you've got Narmoth + Mageslayer, for example (Akshandor really is the best).[/quote]You're talking about levels 16-20. That's a long game and you're likely to see artifacts in it.

I'm sure everything will work out just fine now that corporations can finally channel as much money as they want into elections. This are going to turn a corner, I can feel it.

The election wasn't just about Obama. It was also about an old man who said he wasn't a good economist, oblivious to how important the ecnomy would be at the time; who acted erratically several times towards the end of the campaign; who picked an unknow vice presidential candidate who botched most of her interviews and gave Americans little else to judge her by; and who in general didn't represent a strong enough break from his predecessor. The election was an election, it wasn't libe

My guess is because the culture generating media outlets benefit greatly from the free market.

Here's what I would most want to see in a DG expansion: Automated team matchmaking with a forced map rotation Solo and random team matchmaking Removal of rankings from custom games No automatch fortress games on any map but Zikurat unless the game type is revamped More DGs, else the game won't sell Rebuilding the entire map system so that the maps are 2d elements superimposed on 3d objects I think GPG is unlikely

[quote]Try 2v2 prison fortress, oak+ereb, you are TB and another assasin against good players. Your games can't even compare to mine, you get a lot of more evenly balanced demigods.[/quote] [quote]and another assasin against good players[/quote] [quote]and another assasin[/quote]There's your problem. Monk idols are the most important item in the game.

First off I'm not convinced it's even a working cheat. My understanding of the claim is that a game from which you disconnect causes no exp loss, or is there supposedly some other trick? Second I'm not trying to rank up and nor have I been for a while, certainly not since before this thread was started, and third my game hangs indefinitely at times when the citadel animation is supposed to play, to the extent that I sometimes have to crash my client to end it. I'm not at all surprised

You had an opportunity to use this list as a shoutout to the players whose skill levels are top tier. The ones who you would most likely want on your team or whom you would most likely dread playing against. Instead it's turned into a critque of the players' values and other aspects of their playstyle which really have nothing to do with the odds of them winning some kind of tournament. Now that I think about it if we wanted a real list of good players then a tournament should have be

I do wonder what 15 second duration sigils and 2.0 second cast time potions would be like.

[quote]sigil is an item I'd like to see removed from the game personally, getting an extra couple thousand HP for free is like a instant heal, it's little wonder it's so popular, why even bother with healing potions with their massive cast times?[/quote]The game would be unplayable without sigils functioning pretty similary to how they do currently. That being said, I definitely agree healing potions are inexplicably weak. I don't really know what a good solution would be.
