Reply to Making flags uncappable in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="ViViDGear" reply="2" id="2167169"]Or if you see a player who is known to do that kind of things: Keep an extra eye on your portal flags, buy yourself a Capture Lock and if you see that he's going to your base port there with a scroll and lock your flag before he can do it. Normally he have to run trough half of you base, so you should be able to see his attempt more than fast enough.[/quote] And if you've lost vision in your base you can buy totems of revela

[BUG] Friend chat not updating until I send something. in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

I've been trying out the "friend" in-game chat feature to talk to someone I know who bought the game, and I've noticed that sometimes I don't see the messages he sends me until I type one of my own, then I get all the messages he's sent me since my last message at once. They have correct timestamps, so it's like they're getting stuck in a queue of events to process, but not being processed until I send a message of my own.

Reply to My 1st MP Demigod experience in Demigod Demigod Forums

I actually almost lost a game like this once. It was Slaughter and I had no enemies, but I got two AI "allies". So I had no way to get gold, and my "allies" spent the game rushing at the enemy citadel and being killed by its thorns. I barely knocked the citadel over before it singlehandedly hit the kill limit. :-D

Reply to [suggestion] Kill vs Assist mechanic in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

One thing that bothers me about the current system: I mostly play Oak, and it's not uncommon that I see an enemy Demigod with low health in range of my Penitence. If I let my team-mate fight with them for a few more seconds we'll probably get the kill -- or maybe they'll pull something out of their sleeve and escape, something that I've seen happen more than once. If, on the other hand, I zap them *now*, they're dead, no question. But if I do that I'll be stealing the kill.&

Reply to Unclean Beasts - Foul Grasp and it's stun element. in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Is Foul Grasp not triggering the stun immunity timer intended or a bug? I believe it was Foul Grasp atleast, played against a Rook and Unclean beast tonight that would do a boulder roll + foul grasp for full stun lock kills. So it was either boulder roll or grasp, pretty sure it was grasp though. It's a fantastic tactic, but I'm wondering if it is an oversight? Or have I just been non observant lately and stun immunity timers didn't go in?<br

Reply to 2v3 in a Pantheon game in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

Unless this was a Domination game, the other player who dropped was wrong. 2v3 is totally winnable if there are no AIs, especially on Crucible. I've played it on both sides; when I was on the 2 side I won both times, and when I was on the 3 side it was tough going before I got kicked by network problems. You just need to know the game mechanics and how to exploit the situation. Those have been some of the most fun matches I've played, and I hope Stardo

Reply to Does Linux/Ubuntu support this game? in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

I wouldn't be surprised if it ran in wine, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't. What's definitely not supported in wine is Impulse, so you'll need a Windows machine to actually acquire the game. With Sins I just sneakernetted it using a USB stick, but I haven't figured out an easy way to get Demigod copied over (other than using this as an excuse to buy myself a bigger USB stick :-) ).

[BUG?] Erebus can pick up dropped Mana scrolls while Misted. in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

So you kill an enemy Demigod with Erebus, but you're near death, so you hit Mist to chill out for a while. Then you realize you're also almost out of mana. But no worry: the Demigod you killed dropped a mana scroll! Will left-clicking on it pick it up? Why yes it will! Then you think: that can't be right! So you write a bug report to the technical support forum asking if that's what's supposed to happen.

Reply to Help with favor items? in Demigod Demigod Forums

There are no super-powerful "Win Button" favor items (unless Staff of Renewal is as overpowered as it was in beta, but I bet we'd have seen people complaining by now if it was). While some of the really cheap items are useless, the Brilliant Bauble (+10% XP) is only 250 favor, and the Swift Anklet is 450. Those are nice generalized favor items that IMO are perfectly fine alternatives to the more expensive ones.

Reply to Fix the BS command problems in Demigod Demigod Forums

When this happens you can usually get around it by issuing a move order; your Demigod will respond after that. I've gotten into the habit of issuing the shortest possible move order every time I want to attack or use an ability. I hope this is one of the first bugs they fix after the networking is under control -- it's pretty obnoxious in a game that relies so heavily on timing.
