Reply to Armor? Whats the point...? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I don't really understand what's being said here... Are you implying that you have found a way to accrue large amounts of HP while keeping your armor low and that it's beneficial, or are you simply talking about the single function items - the ones that provide only armor? It's been pointed out here several times that the majority of good HP items also provide armor, so this is kind of a moot point unless your specific purpose is to knock items like scalemail. Speaking o

[quote]Yah mabye, i can see where your comming from. The idea was to have throw be the only scaleable ability.. so that it is good from lvl 1 to level 20+ 2hr games. I think it could be done[/quote]You have a point, but I'd love to see the problem fixed some other way since so many characters suffer from it. A handful of items which increase ability damage by x% would be really cool, imo.

Reply to HUGE DESIGN FLAW: The loosing side has nothing to do! in Demigod Demigod Forums

Okay, lemme point out a few things here: All the feedback defending the way the game is, explaining why certain things are fair, reasonable, well-implemented, etc. are missing the point. The point isn't what you think is fair, it's about what's causing the rage quits. The word implies the subject is being irrational. You tales of comebacks mean nothing, because clearly someone who's losing fairly badly isn't concerned about the 10% chance of pulling out a wi

Reply to Some thoughts on the Priest upgrade in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think it would be funny if priests were like archers in that they spawned automatically once you hit a high enough war rank. It'd make it much easier to turn games around. Seriously though, priests are awful, and yet like most awful things, you can find some uses for them. That being said, the fact that a scratched CD makes a fine frisbee or a fried hard drive makes a lovely paper weight doesn't mean they're working like they should.

[quote]Also, an Ooze UB can beat a Tower + Hammer Slam Rook of the same level at level 7, with a full tower complement for the rook (this is anecdotal, but I had no special items besides maybe having Hauberk of Life early because I got a kill very early game against a UB who was at low HP and spitting on towers.)[/quote]Your mileage may vary, but this simply isn't true in my experience.

I was thinking the other day about a ninja DG, though I thought a japanese demon would be a more exotic candidate than a human, and I'd rather see this kind of thing as a stealth alternative: Flash Bomb - The Oni (generic interim name) throws a powerful flash bomb at his feet, leaving a cloud of smoke which disorients and blinds his foes Rank 1 - Stuns nearby enemies for 1 second, reduces the vision radius of enemies in the cloud by 8

Reply to Biggest Imba's That Need Balancing in Demigod Demigod Forums

I play rook pretty often, and towers really don't need a nerf. The root of the problem is that upgrading to priests is suicide, so you're stuck rushing into towers which synch attacks on you immediately because all of the nearby troops can be obliterated by the rook's archers alone. When priests hit the field towers become much, much more balanced, but priests don't hit the field until catapults and possibly giants can be purchased, so there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth

Reply to A plea to players out there - on behavior and good conduct in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

I think it's on the host to convey that the game settings are different. I play a lot of games and the vast majority of ones I play are standard settings. If you're still reading this frogboy, adding in a status alert that just indicates whether the game is on full default settings or not would facilitate things quite a bit. Nothing too cumbersome that would clutter up the screen, just a custom game icon or something that lights up when things are off.

[quote]there already is a counter in the game for stealth, totem of revelation. it is the cheapest item in the entire game , so invisible heros would not be a problem if added.[/quote]Is that really a good solution though? Unless the stealth ability had some other major benefit you know that a 50g item couldn't be allowed to completely negate a core DG ability the entire game, and it would basically just mean that you lose a trinket slot every time you face said DG. &nb

Late Late game a parasite egg with RoI is an instakill on every minion, not that it helps you with your early game issues. Honestly I would just be content with tagging mobs for gold and leveling up without flag control until you get the capacity to really pressure them.

Reply to Tower rook OP? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I dunno. I play the rook quite a bit and I really don't feel there are many good counters to a towering strategy, my only real downfall is when I'm ganged up on or side capped too heavily late game, but not super late game when I can afford the pricier movement speed increasers. They say the rook is slow, but is 5.4 speed really that slow? It's still 90% of other DG movement speeds and it's not like you can't use portal scrolls. Also when it comes to people saying towers d

I was sitting around thinking about what kind of new DGs, items, mechanics, etc. would make the game more fun when it occurred to me that quite a few people must have things they're sick of from other games they absolutely wouldn't want to see added. So what makes your list? For me it's stealth/invisibility. Honestly I'm sick of this kind of power and in DG it could be particularly frustrating, walking into 2v1s or worse. I think the ability would be one of those abi

Reply to New Egyptian Demigod Anubis/Guardian/Xolotl in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Throw absolutely could not stay in the form you have listed. Late game with a +melee damage ability your DG would be breaking 600 damage easily on auto-swings, perhaps even higher, meaning it'd be a 2400+ damage STUN that restores mana at high levels. Way overboard. Also your final skill on the +autoattack damage has nothing to do with the skill itself... I know reg's are a little random, like the final point of snipe, but I don't feel they're quite THAT random as a
