Reply to Bottlenecking Maps - Please Stop in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="transitive" reply="8" id="2220296"]perhaps a better criticism is that you were playing Conquest on a map that is a poor choice for that game mode. Crucible and Exile are both best played as Dominate maps. the best conquest maps are the ones with multiple ways into a base and a healthy separation between the Citadel and Health Crystal. Cataract, Leviathan, Mandala, Zikurat and Brothers are all good for this. Prison seems intended a

[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="1" id="2219863"] It was 2v2 Conquest with fast DG respawn. Um...that's why you got a stalemate. The respawn timers are there for a reason - so after you kill someone you have time to push while they're dead. I have similar disgust for the innumerable TF2 servers with instant or fast respawn. NO SHIT that no one is ever going to win, when you take 2 minutes to walk to their base and kill someone and they come bac

Hi Bara, Played a game 5/21/09 at 9.52 pm EST or so. Custom game on Crucible, 2v2. One opponent dc'd. One opponent quit. My ally and I stay in and finish the game, but I see no record of it. My impression was that as long as someone played the game out it would show up on games played? It doesn't look like dc was a split either, because it doesn't show on the dc'd player's record. Thanks

Bottlenecking Maps - Please Stop in Demigod Demigod Forums

Two games I played last night: A 51 minute game on Crucible. It was 2v2 Conquest with fast DG respawn. The other team had better pushwork and better killwork throughout play. They had giants at about 25 minutes in. We buffed up towers and played defensively until we had a 5 level advantage and enough gold to max out grunt stats and get priests, angels, catas, and giants ourselves. And artifacts. That took about 15 minutes. Duri

Tough Love for the AI in Demigod Demigod Forums

Sometimes it's hard to see, but the AI now is alot better than it was in Beta. I say it's hard because in most cases the AI feeds kills like a little tramp. But on the off chance that GPG is working on AI along with everything else, a few observations: First - the good stuff - - Sometimes on a map like Cataract AI will work to cap side and portal flags. It's a nice secondary action, and they are decent at not dying to towers while doing th

Slows are capped at 33% effect. That's not too rough. It's certainly not imba, and it has nothing to do with "Demigods that start off with instant slow/stun/interrupt skills, and those that don't" Except for Mark of Betrayer, which with mines and maim can pretty much slow you to quarter speed. That is rough, and imba. Micah sets that all out, and even includes the fix DeadMG if I'm misunderstand

Following the typical RPG model you need a Tank, Healer, and DPS.

I really don't get the OP mentality, but it seems people share it? Damage doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all. The game doesn't care how much damage you did. I don't care how much damage you do if I'm playing you. All that the game and I care about is whether you did just enough damage to kill me. If you did then you earn a kill. If not then you don't. It's pretty simple. [e digicons]:\[/e]
