[quote]Side note, if you buy items for your DG and he dies, are the items stil attached?[/quote] Yes - the only way to lose items is to either sell them back to the store or right-click on them to drop to the ground. You will not lose items by dying. Incidentally as a workaround to under-the-hood numbers - all damage to your DG floats, so if you playtest against minions of various levels you will see what their damage range is. It's clumsy, but if you really

Invitation: Come Play Wednesday April 15 in Demigod Demigod Forums

This is an open invitation for you all to come play too ;) Not taking Monday because I'd like to see what it looks like post-release Not taking Tuesday because release days are always buggy So hopefully Wednesday is the sweet spot :D Hope to see you ingame Kestrel

Reply to Basic Question in Demigod Demigod Forums

Each Demigod has a lot lot more skill choices than an equivalent Hero. They still need some balancing, but the Rook on your team might be playing a completely different build than the Rook on my team, and you might pick a different build depending on which Demigods are playing with or against you. At this point you can see three or four discrete builds for each DG (though maybe only one or two of those are well-balanced right now) and you can mix and match your skill lines to tast

Reply to Favour Points -- how does it work? in Demigod Demigod Forums

If you are seeing negative favor it's a bug. Sometimes your favor will reset (another bug) but you will still be left with the base favor of 150 points, which at least allows you to get a few of the available items (swift anklet is the best cheap favor item imo)

[quote who="Jaradakar" reply="4" id="2130730"]Lots of issues design wise (Doing a 3 player free for all, or having more than 2 sides). Where do the minions/creeps move? Which citadel do they attack?

It's a fair point. I can come up with a few scenarios where two UBs tagteam Grasp to "bridge" immunity for allied stuns but we'll really have to see how it plays and I doubt public games will really see it abused the way TB + Rook could have been. And can I say that it's nice now that crunch is almost over to see GPG back on the forums :)

[quote]My favorite is the map with more than two start points. Having to defend both bases would be a lot of fun in a 5v5.[/quote] This would be cool. I was thinking more about those situations where you have 3 people in the lobby and can't find a fourth. Just hop on a 3-sided map and each of you has a citadel to defend. ;)

Reply to [Bug] Idol UI broken in several places. in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

to add to this - if you have bought level 1 units, summoned a pair, and then sold the idol back - the idol will continue to show in your UI after sold and when triggered will proc summoning channel bar, though the units won't appear.

Thanks for the quick advice, guys. Right now I'm looking at the Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 which is on Newegg for $65 But I'm seeing this TRENDnet TEW-631BRP for $10 cheaper and it's N protocol. It probably won't work with Tomato however. Thoughts on going with the newer, cheaper tech even with nativ

Once the game is out and devs can focus on patching it through, what are a few very ambitious things you would like to see in future updates? (I'm not talking about UI tweaks - think big) Personally - - Dynamic Fog of War - Engine limitations mean we probably can't see this implemented as maps with multiple levels, but what about buildings that act as FoW "generators?" Line of sight when close to one of these buildings would drop by 80% or more which introduces lev

[quote]Interesting. I wonder if the new combo will be UB + TB or UB + Rook[/quote] Yah looks like UB has replaced Rook as the anchor in a stun team - Rook boulders, UB grasps, Rook hammers, gg. I'm not sure why Foul Grasp is being given a pass here but at least they can turn on immunity-trigger easily when it starts to get abused.

optional portraits for your allies, as mentioned many times elsewhere, would really help anyone playing a support DG. I hate casting shield on some spirit floating directly between my cursor and my target :/

Reply to [Bug] Inconvenient Unstacking of Items in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

[quote who="Sevenix" reply="5" id="2129460"]Think you consume the potion if you right click it TheBigOne :/[/quote] You consume a pot if you left-click it. Right-clicking drops it and it shows as a treasure chest icon on the ground. This can be quite useful if you are pushing and your ally needs a health or mana boost. Incidentally you can sell items that are cooling down, even if you can't drop them. Buying them back will not reset the cooldown, though.

Looking for New Router Advice in Personal Computing Demigod Forums

I'm thinking about getting a new wireless router, because apparently my year-old WRT100 is dropping sockets when playing Demigod. To be clear, the devs are recommending a router less than two years old. The router will be hooked into my PC, but needs to have good wireless range for 360, laptops, etc.. Budget: $100 or less Any thoughts?

Really good set of updates. We'll see how the DGs play but I think the three key things we were looking at - teleport tells, stunchains, and slow stacks - have been addressed. Thank you, devs.

Hey mcmjon - You have two days til they disable beta to prep for launch. If your router allows you to finish games with people (which mine doesn't as of 3F) you should play some custom team games and see what you think. Right now Erebus is underpowered, stunchains are still a problem, slows are imba, AI are bad (which means Pantheon is a grind), and they nerfed spirits and yetis pretty hard, but I'm having alot of fun with Oak and UB. The ranking system is co

Things done wrong: - Beta schedule was too tight for the clinical, gradual introduction of phased elements. Rejecting balance input in Beta 1 or 2 as "Beta 3 is when we will talk about balance" only works if Beta 3 is, indeed, about balance...as it was Beta 3 was about balance for about 2 weeks and then oops! Private Gamma! It seemed like the devs would work on something behind the scenes in preparation for the appropriately scheduled phase and then if
