Reply to Healing/Support Award in Demigod Demigod Forums

Okay, a couple things I haven't seen brought up yet, but I apologize if they were as I only read about 70% of the thread and skimmed the rest. First off participation favor is getting boosted by 40, so the proportion of favor gained from playing to actually winning awards will be less prohibitive for support players. Why has no one mentioned the root of the problem - sedna doesn't do enough damage. The yetis are are good candidates for improvement

I played a game on that setting last night and it was just awful, thought granted tower strength wasn't upped. I think some middle ground would be ideal.

I would love to see more obvious animations for abilities which are intended to be interrupted. I really wish everything were as visible as mass charm and hammer slam, those two are excellently done.

Personally I'd love to see the black made transparent if that's possible and a bit of fade of the boxes, but regardless I'd be ecstatic if this were put in game.

[quote]Mentioned above, the idea of the skill point not being finalised until the window is closed is an acceptable method for confirmation as this does not alter the game's behaviour for the players who do not want an additional dialogue box.[/quote]Having to close the window would be an additional keystroke or click just the same as a confirmation box, though... unless mine's bugged, because it auto-closes for me when I run out of points to spend (which is fine, personally I wouldn't

[quote]And the "it's a game, not a sport" thing is silly. Demigod is very obviously intended to be both. That a some of you (and I) suck too much to play it as a sport doesn't mean others shouldn't.[/quote]You're putting the cart before the horse. The game needs a bigger playerbase and more balance tweaks to be a sport. We're all talking about a balance tweak here. Also the mechanics of most games make comebacks way more feasible than they are in this one at the moment.

Well if they do decide to divert funds from this game's continued development and move on, I really hope they consider creating an expansion at some point in time. This game has all the nuts and bolts of a great game except the connectivity (the lobbies work great for me thoug). It really is incredibly fun, and that's saying something because most multiplayer games don't really get good until they've gone through a number of post-release balance iterations. I think an expa

Reply to *** Demigod PRAISE Thread *** in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think a lot of people who have negative things to say about the game are only posting here because they like the game and want it to improve. The average guy who logs on once, hates it, and then never plays again probably isn't going to make an account and write about how it sucks. Just assume complainers have lots of nice things to say about all the stuff they're not complaining about. :)

[quote]Seems like a pretty pointless argument to say, "one guy said he goes with no skills and said he did well" and proceed to worry about it.

If they do that then they need to put armor values helms, gloves, and boots because high armor values are the only things keeping late game auto-attack inflation in check.

That being said, I'd be fine with it just cheating. Just make AI controlled characters give half gold and make them level up faster when they're more than 2-5 levels (the specific number isn't the point) behind the average player level.

Meh, I think Staff of Renewal has it beat by a longshot and Serpent's Blade is excellent too. The real problem is that general only favor items are a bit boring.

[quote]Complexity is not learning that you have to press 1 click, press 2 click or whatever to do damage. Just because you have to press a number key and then wait for a cooldown in one build and you dont in the other isnt really true complexity. The complexity of DG comes from working with your team, developing strategies for your team and the DGs used on both teams, understanding the necessary builds etc etc. An AA Reg is just as complex in all the things that really make

Reply to 4X+ Shatters? Ice TB. in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Alright, I tested it out a bit, and the way shatter works with Frost Nova is it only consumes the snare, not the stun, which means a max of x3. It's possible that it used to consume the stun as well, which would cause the x4 multiplier, but currently it's not possible.
