Well you said it yourself. "They do help take down creeps quickly" If you can't take down creeps quickly, you will level and get gold slower. Don't underestimate the AOE in this game. Especially ones that are an instant 2700 damage and 30% slow to any demigod who needs to melee you. If you're getting both Mageslayer and Ashkandor in every game, your games are taking too long/you aren't upgrading the citadel enough. If you're only using snipe for kno

Random demigod. They can't pick which demigod they use. Given enough plays, they'll be able to use them all. To prevent them just making/joining games over and over again, make it so it uses the startup time of their computer or something, so they only get a new demigod when they next restart their computer. That should provide enough hassle that they are unlikely to abuse it. Demo games should disable artifacts and favor. Demo games should be marked as s

Actually no, this WOULD be a good thing for Stardock. 0.91 is the version that spams their servers for updates every time you *start* the game. The later versions removed that so it would only check when you log on. They had to separate the servers because of that. Forcing them to a newer version would actually reduce the load on their servers overall.

Girls don't reveal themselves because of sexists like Demigod3k. I sure as hell don't want some idiot creating a thread about people of my gender because he played one of us. It's creepy as hell.

Click he Impulse icon at the top left of Impulse, make sure show pre-release is checked. Update! From my experience it seems. 1) People connect to lobbies much faster. 2) Connections between people in lobby seems flakier, but it'll still show green non-0 ping. It does generally seem to work, unless you're really not connected to a lot of people, in which case 3) You may still drop at the beginning of the game 4) Drops in-game seems to be gon

Oh I dunno about Rook having to sacrifice health/speed. All Fathers Ring, Cloak of Elfinkind together is already like +40% speed, 25% to dodge rate, +30% attack speed, 2250 armor, and other stat boosts. Throw in a Bulwark of the Ages for another 25% damage reduction and more health/armor. With that much armor, I think that Regulus would be doing 1k crits at best while missing 25% of his shots. I mean, you say you got Boots of speed. 10% speed increase for 1000g

See, if one team had put the gold necessary for 1 Ashkandor into a full upgrade of Priests -> Giants, the game would've been over already. Assuming you aren't being stupid and feeding the enemy in the early game, citadel upgrades > 1 demigod using the same amount of gold for artifacts. Also, people who see no use for the death penalty upgrade have clearly never played against a Last Stand Oak in a fortress game.

This guy's is pretty naive. No company in the world is stupid enough (ok, maybe some are that stupid) to pay for your shipping charges. That's just asking to get griefed. Buy products, return via hand carried courier on next flight. Fedex has such an option. Heck, most companies will charge you a restocking fee even if you went up to the store in person and handed the box to them. I sure hope he never tries to create his own company. I'd feel sorr

Based on what they'd said earlier, my guess is they have a bunch of servers at the backend and for some reason they aren't in sync, leading to varying numbers. Or if it fails to grab your favor, it gives you 0 favor.

Let's take 1 to its full logical conclusion. You, with the fast attack speed, go away. You're stealing my kills even though I probably did the majority of the damage from a bursted 6 mines + mark of the betrayer + 3 more mines as they run.

Yep, #1 just says "I'd rather get 1000g for myself instead of having my team get 1500g" If I'm playing Regulus, I am NOT going to leave it up to chance on whether or not you will actually succeed in killing the demigod. Maybe he'll heal and his teammates will pop out and stun you and kill you instead because you're being a greedy dbag. Given that in most games now, 2/3 of my gold goes to citadel upgrades that help us win, you really shouldn't be complaining about who gets

Hammer smash only good for creeps? Um, no? Fake hammersmashes are one of the best ways to make enemy demigods run away. If they stay, finish it. If they run off, cancel it and just start it up again when they come back. But the fact that it's good for creeps means it's good for xp. And get swift anklets. Makes you faster than most demigod's base speed if they don't get speed items themselves. Regulus mines are also good for creeps. And 5

Boulder roll, then Orb of defiance while he's in your tower farm, then boulder roll again. That said, not all builds are viable against all builds. A well-played (meaning fake smashes) fast bouldersmash rook can make Erebus run away quick.

AI just needs to play a lot more cautiously. Like not walking into the middle of 4 towers then going Oh Shit and try to teleport out while in those towers and dying. They're AI, they should be able to figure perfectly whether or not the DPS they're taking is enough to use an item and survive.

Actually the current bugged effect of Deep Freeze is weaker than its intended effect I think. It's not even silenced for 7 seconds. It's, for 7 seconds, abilities on cooldown are silenced. The way it seems like it's supposed to work is that 1) it only affects abilities used during those 7 seconds, but any abilities used will get the massive cooldown, and keep that massive cooldown when the debuff wears off.

Not by a longshot. Communities vary. Dota is agreed by most to be one of the worst. That's like saying just because /b/ in 4chan is awful (and 4chan itself has a pretty bad rep), I must think Stardock forums are the same.

Don't feel like spending $20 on Warcraft 3 just to play Dota. Also, maybe if Dota Community 2.0 gets released I'll think about it.
