Boy do I hear that Hate: Played 1 3v3 game last week, me as Sedna, BOTH my teammates kept writting "Heal", and I was healing them, as fast as my cooldown would allow. They'd even wrote it seconds after I just healed them. I think they thought we were playing WoW, and I was a preist. A couple times, I had to choose to save them, or myself with a heal, and I healed/saved them and they complained that I died. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e] &n

1.1 will be out any day; HoL will be nerfed with increased cost, double cooldown (and at Artifact Shop), so new tactics for everyone are in store. Erb sounds a bit like when I play Sedna; People complain sometimes they just can't kill Sedna, and sometimes that's true, but that's if I always retreat, which means I can't hold flags/lanes.
Yes, I noticed this, but never put 2+2 together: Suddenly people realize just "quitting" outright has consiquenses, so I too am noticing pet/wife/child emergencies exactly at the time their team might be losing (underline "might"). Real life things do happen, but still, I think we will just have to write down and remember those who don't seem to have any "emergencies" when they are winning. . . "Honey, can't you call poison control yourself?
FB, it seems you already implemented one of the most important things so far into DG that has made the social experience MUCH better in the game. You did'nt know that? You guys fixed most the connection problems. . . I don't think it's any coinceidence that the amount of rudeness in the lobbies/games has gone down a lot lately. As for ideas, seperating games in advance for different types of players: Specifically, a "Play Pen area", designated f
The way BMan's mod works now is, it quickly and easily conveys important imformation you can already access anyway; but the way you have to acces that info now (type/chat and ask your ally over and over and OVER about) constantly interupts gameplay flow and is a major pita to do. But the mod does not show enemy items/mana; those things are not known to the enemy in the current form of the game either. You find out much of your info about the enemy by engaging in battle.&nbs
Wow, you got a 5v5 game? I can't wait. The few times I've tried, they never worked, but now maybe they do. GREAT!
If I was one of those "only in it to win" type people, then, the way the game awards favor/victory points currently, it would be FAR better of me to just spec/spend Sedna to help me/myself/Sedna. Only heal myself, get lots of pouce and yetis and minions to kill stuff. Healing wind or healing other teammates, HAH, no way. But I want to help the team, so I spec and spend to that end. But I'll never play Parth with her, cause you'r d
The option to vote-kick AFK or rage-pouters sounds great. That's happened on my teams twice, and there's really nothing you can do about it but know your a man down for the entire game (who will get Favor too for doing nothing).

HoL is more money now; double cooldown, and at artifact shop. I think they fix the minion cast "loophole" in the upcomming patch too. I would'nt try to kill Oak in that situation; in order for it to work, they all have to stay together. Split up and capture flags (maybe even ther flags in their home portals) and kill minions. If 2 or three come up on one of you, run, they have to split up to stop you all. It's like fighting superman; you can't win, but one of h
I've had 2 AFKers, but that's since the game came out. The changes in 1.1 may help things. Guess we'll see. Yes FB, Bman's Mod is great, more than a mod if you ask me, but a much needed info-pannel for this game. But I'm not sure if the mod to let you see all the enimies stats and stuff is fair or not. Seems a little too intrusive for strategies possbily.
I think it's great that they put Random in, I know so many people ask for it. But I won't be using it, as I've never played anything but Rook, Reg, and Sedna, so in random, you KNOW I'll get one of the others, and be a total noob at it. I know the Concede button is needed, I'm just a little concerened how it's going to play out (pun intended) in a game. Will Rage Quiters become Concede spammers and AFK pouters now. I hope not. Ya Dead, Bman's Mod is jaw-dropp
As Sedna, I have to type OOM constantly, and a couple allies have actually died just before I got the "M" typed. And I KNOW my allies are always wondering what my mana level is when they see enemy Demigods near us, and they are thinking "I wonder if he has mana so I can attack". And trying to use the current healthbars is awful (and as a healer, I mean REALLY awful). Not to mention, you could see if an alli is in any kind of trouble at a glance. So, the OP wants
Personally, I would even settle for no extra favor, just anything that showed my teammates at the end I was a big help. Maybe if you heal someone while in battle, they can add that to your "Assists" rating; that would be great, because you are "assisting". Many battles a teammate would have had to retreat, instead of getting a kill, if us Sednas were not there to heal. You can save butts all game, and still get "Partisipant" as your reward.
Yes, please send this to GPG so they can put it in; in 6 months; if ever; like it should have been from day one [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]
That is great! I know I'm hoping beyond hope, but if I'm playing Sedna, can I heal by just clicking on the healthbar of my teammate to heal him? Or will that just center the screen over him? At least now people can see my mana, and I can see if a teammate might be in trouble.
Yes, if you spend all your points on healing/support abilities, and then you spend most your gold on items that keep your mana up all the time to heal/support others on your team, then your going to be in last place 95% of the time for favor and all points/awards. You can't really get kills or farm when your busy healing and helping. It's backwards: The more selfless you are with Sedna; making her more helpful/supportive to others, the less reward you get. As for "
You can make a friends list, that will start helping. Sadly, you should consider making a "red flag" list, as I call it (I don't call it a ban list, yet). I've been playing games for 15 years, and I have to agree, this is the first time I've EVER had to make some kind of "ban list". Friend me Pax, I'll be glad to play with you any time. And these may help: http://www.scarylogic.com/demigod/items.php </p
Since I play Sedna a lot, the thought of having to get most my gold from minions (or even kills) makes me grimmise; if only I got some gold/xp/favor for healing. And another thing for us to "playtest in our head" is how agressive, even crazy, people with almost no gold may battle; could be great, could be bad. . .
Yes, another bump here; I died last night twice standing in the TBs fire circle, and you have no idea your even in it till you notice how fast your health is going down. I also ran right into that Vapire Lord when he was "misted" a couple times too (but got away). I'm sure my teammates were shaking their head at me.
Shadow, I was thinking the same thing, that FB could lock after he posts. But from what I've seen, some of the most positive and supportive posts are from people in the same thread as his updates. So I would'nt want him to miss out on that; just got'a try to read "around" the flamers I guess. FB, I don't know if you have kids yet or not, but it seems you already know how it can feel to have one thanks to GPG: If your kid get's into any kind of
Maybe a compropmise: The person/people that killed an enemy DG get less gold/xp than they do now; the person who died also loses some. What happens in Dota if the person killed had little or no gold?
I'm embarassed to say, I respect angels a lot more now, since one them killed me last week. I was playing Reg, and had escaped a fight with an UB player with just a bit of health left. So, I just wiped my forhead, glad for my luck, headed towards the healing crystal, and BAM; in comes an enemy angel and kills me. Wish we had replays; I'd link that one and call it: Angels are OP! Nerf Angels![e digicons];)[/e]
I just ignore the cussing, and most the name calling, but a few times there have been players that have just started spamming racial insults/obsenities using the "All" chat to people they are losing to. I'm talking about things even Howard Stern would blush after reading; those types need reporting.
In my situation, I love DG, and wanted my friends to love it too. But even with the 50% off coupon, nobody would buy it. I kept trying to get them to "wait, it will be fixed, just give it a little time". And they did, because it's Stardock. But every week they came over and tried the game, and have so many problems, I could see they were about to give up. Then one of my friends finally got DoWII. My other friends saw that game, and, sadly, are going
