there is still 1 1/2 years till SC2. so he will have more than enough time to get his "skills" back. SC2 wil not be release before 2011 like the announced recently.

no teamed matchmaking system -> no competetive palying. it won't and it does not work. most players left, and no one want to join premade games. well, it's nothing that they didn't could knew prior release. that's also one of the main reasons why the very most part of the demigod players left the game for months. and it seems this is getting worse. patch 1.2 may attract some players for a short time as it is something new to paly with. some weeks later we get
[quote who="lifekatana" reply="1" id="2429137"]1. these issues are getting fixed[/quote] how i hate to hear that for issues already known even in beta, while some of them has been introduced by patches after release. p.s. if i would do my business like this i would have been fired long ago!
it's not a matter of going out of the window. but it is still going in the totally wrong direction. and what i find so annoying is the fact that one that truly had read the forums would have known that. obviously SD/GPG did NOT! doing totally stupid things again. this sucks. edit:... yeah you believe.. since i am here (demigod) i have nothing seen that jsutifies such believing.
[quote who="morpheas768" reply="33" id="2440976"]Sorian in his blog http://soriandev.blogspot.com/2009/11/demigodagain.html said: "I volunteered to test it and after several test games where 1 of the participants lost connection I did not get a single desync or endless connectivity screen. Hopefully this means it is fixed."[/quote] lol because after ONE disconnection he didn't got the error he assumes it might be fixed? no wonder why i am called pessimistic if this is the base of mess
such restrictions are not necessary because one to conter can take one of these two itself, thus although he has less hp messured relatavly to the total amount of hp it is a relativly smaller difference. stacking of similar favor items does not make it imbalance.
yes it quasi replaces only. but it is quite a big deal. botf was already very strong, so strong that in most cases no alternatives were usefull (in most cases not all!). given now extra 200hp and hps from 5 to 8 is a quite big and TOTALLY UNNECESSARY upgrade. the advantage at the beginning of the game is quite big. yes, this 200hp are making the difference. beside of that it is still a totally unnecessatry upgrade. i really don't get it how one can get this idea while there are so man
i emailed them this already for months am still waiting for a response (beside the automatic one). morpheus did the same i think a week ago. i also had a forum thread open for this issue. maybe you have more luck.
allowing 2 favor items would increase the balance. it can even out some of the problems with the new favor items. you can still take an important active favor item + an hp one. hence the relative difference reduces compared to the actuall situation (the absolute hp difference may remain but the relative one is the important one).
why should i use R2P to play demigod? easier and faster to start the game and enter a open game or host one. i find it totally useless and it seems most people feel the same regarding finding matches for e.g. demigod. edit: if i am not already in demigod i don't want to play it. if i am i would not see any message coming from r2p.
allowing qot to repair buildings will not make her more valuable. the buff on shambler summoning should be without the nerf of entourage! if it remains how it is said up till now qot will suck the same as before. the highend favor items are reducing the diversity of used favor items highly. they also maybe will tip over the balance between some demigods. all in all i see more problems with this patch than it resolves. at least as far as the information is now.
haha, BotF tooo powerfull... well i think its balanced but anyway... what is about the new 1.2 "botf" for assasins only? (forgot its name) if you think BotF is too powerfull this new one must be gamebreaking. and at least it will remove the already low diversity of favor items used.
seeing the partial changelog i chances are high i stop playing with upcoming 1.2 2 of the new favor tiems are reducing even more the diversity of used favor items. and the mentioned changes for qot are... well at least redicules. they applaied the very needed HP buff to shambler and removed it from another skill at more or less the same amount. wtf? well, this is only a part of the changes but it does not seem good. maybe they fix the mentioned things another way. but it seems
Oh and about the shambler.... the reduction on entourage is not needed. the buff you add at the summon skill was VERY needed.
the new favor items, i mean the Spirit of the Fallen, and even the haste ankhlet are quite game breaking! BotF was quite balanced in the way that they were usefull alternatives allthough they were only few and only under special situations. but now basically we have a much better one out there destroys this balance. it does not play a role that you ahve to may 5000 favor points. regarding the ankhlat, yes this 2% extra make the difference for escaping concisdering the most used builds
before there is no teamed automatch feature i won't play premade like games. i wont to register a team and enter a queue awaiting other teams matched to our level (well, this needs of course a working stats/ladder backend that we still lack!). up till than i keep puggin and sometimes joining a friends game. or i will stop playing.... no otehr features are so needed like this must have for every multiplayer rts game!
[quote who="morpheas768" reply="7" id="2439574"] Quoting CelMare, reply 6my bet is next week. Always pesimistic CelMare! Have some faith. it will be this week [/quote] i am not pesimistic. considering the time since release i am quite optimistic i would think. at least i am realistic!
well, as we are talking only about two minion demigods: oak and erebus, regs mines are only a coutner to one of them, because spirits don't activate the mines ;)
my bet is next week.
haha... sry :D
this is definitly not the best rts game. it has probably one of the best gameplays but to be a good RTS game i concider having the must haves EVERY RTS MP-TITLE has: teamed auto matches (registering as a team and getting random fitting opponent teams). This is an ABSOLUTLY MUST HAVE and a shame demigod didn't had it already in beta. in fact it is scandalous! This breaks the community at most as we have seen the conflicts between puggers and premades... and it is even more to b
@ Zechnophobe when talking about "pure" ooze or not it is not a question about inner beast and/or ooze it is a question about SPIT and/or OOZE. pure ooze means NO SPIT spit and ooze are called HYBRID builds my pure ooze build is as follows: 1. ooze 2. deseased claws 1
in closed form it has aoe, in open form its single target.
Omicron, it would be nice if next time you don't start a forum thread accusing one for hacking although it was a one time event. try first to contact the person ingame by chat or in the forum over pm before you accuse one in public. i would understand this if it happened more than only one time only.
