Reply to Demigod Communities: Impulse to the rescue in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

[quote quoting="post"] The reason we aren’t using Steam is that, as good as Steam is, and it is good, we don’t want it to be the only option. Competition is good for not just consumers but good for us (Steam and Impulse). Doesn’t mean I’m not going to use Impulse to buy games when there’s something on it I want that isn’t on Impulse or use it for community. I just don’t want Steam to be my only option. So with Impulse, we&rsqu

[quote who="nobalkain" reply="25" id="2228158"] I think the ability to fix/buy destoryed towers would be a nice addition.[/quote] BTW, this is a bad idea. Part of the pacing of this game is that it escalates and the game will end . A big part of that is, if you let towers fall -- there is no getting them back. So the goal is to defend your towers. Of course as the games moves on, towers become easier and easier to destory, again this help

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

Much like RTS games... The greater the disparity in skill level/coordination in teams the more likely that a comeback won't happen. For example: Lets say player skill is rated 1-10, with 10 being god like and 1 being noob . Game #1 Team A: Player Skill = 10 Team B: Player Skill = 1 No matter what team B does, the chances of a comeback are pretty much imposs

[quote who="BigAbboTT" reply="1" id="2226830"]To be fair... I never even try to kill Sedna. I count it as a major victory if I push her out of a lane. I don't think she is overpowered. I just think that she has great staying power.[/quote] Erebus used to have close to the same staying power, but now he's forced to retreat from her almost every time... imo it show cases how under powered he is now (or how incorrect his nerfs were).

[quote quoting="post"] Sedna's pounce needs to be nerfed. it does way to much DAM + a stun at level 1. Oak - 200 dam + interupt at level 1 Sedna - 400dam + stun at level 1 Rook - 200 dam + stun at level 1 (bolling ball) lord - 200 dam and heals him for 200 dam at level 1.

Game Crashing to Desktop in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

Okay so I've played a bit over this weekend. Because it seems most of the work on connectivity improvements is being done for custom games, I've broken down and been just playing them. Here are my findings: Game 1: Played and finished a 3v3. Game 2: Crash Hard lock, had to turn off the power supply before I could restart my computer. Was stuck on a Demigod screen, could not alt tab. Game 3: Was okay and playing fine. In the connection window p

Yeah some sort of system that ejects people if they can't connect after X amount of time seems like it would help. The situation you outline above has happened to me multiple times and then it usually ends with the search stopping and me getting an error message. If I've pushed the button to play Pantheon, that's what it should do. It should not stop until I get into a game successfully or the search takes too long (n time) at which point it should come back with a prompt, "Havi

BTW I'll totally admit, Steam when it was first born was a mess. It had tons of issues and not even close to the features it has today. It was far far from perfect. It's only after years did it improve to what it is today. While I like Steam, I don't want it to be a monopoly and for that I'm happy Impluse is around. Having competition will only force both products to improve (Steam is still far from perfect). Some of the friends features that <a id="ctl

Reply to Erebus "Mist" ability - working as intended? in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote] So I gotta ask: Is this intended? [/quote] Yes. As you you explained doing this tactic not only costs large amounts of gold (20K is a ton) but it also requires Erebus to sacrifice a huge amount of DPS. He can't stop teleports or potion use. He can't move. He's sacrificing everything so that he can push for his team , to keep momentum up for the creeps.

[quote who="VoxOrange" reply="23" id="2214596"] quoting post One of our frustrations (and this is one of the reasons I’m not a fan of MP games in the first place) is how inconsiderate some people are. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out why people were getting “disconnected” right when a game starts. Well, it turns out, from looking at the logs, is that some people, having only 2 on 2 or 3 vs. 3 where an AI player had to be substituted to fill

It has nothing to do with tech and everything to do with user base.[/quote] Demigod has multiple issues: Skirmish and Pantheon games only allow you to enter solo, this is not conducive to playing with friends. So in effect this lowers the number of people who play them and adds to the problem. <

If I get matched with AI, personally I'm okay with it as I'm up for a challenge BUT I'd much rather be matched with all human opponents. If after searching X amount of time, say 5+ mins and there are not enough people, fine throw some AI in. I'd be more tolerant of AI bots on my team or fighting against them if the AI was actually competent . Getting put in a 2v2 when you want to play 3v3 or bigger is also annoying. <li

Reply to Favor Items "nerf" in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="Enzi" reply="4" id="2213619"]The only imbalanced item I think is swift anklet. If you have speed chars like beast or sedna as oponent there's no running away. And running away is a huge factor of "tactic". The only thing you can do with DGs that have stacked speed is stand and fight till someone dies. That takes away the fun imo. But then again, I'm not pro maybe I'll learn it someday to counter it or the bug with gaining favor points will be fixed and I can get a swift

[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="12" id="2212229"]Perhaps all favor items could start out weaker and gain bonuses as your war rank goes up? Example: Swift Anklet = 10% ms bonus + 1% per war rank This mitigates the early game problem as well as giving more flexibility to favor item power (some could be better early game and some could have big bonuses unlock late game) This could also fix the weakness in many favor items
