Reply to Beta 3 is OUT!!!! in Demigod Demigod Forums

So Cari_Elf on IRC said a little while ago that Stardock does not yet have the update, GPG is still looking at it. I think that means that if it does come today it will be at least a couple of hours because it takes a while for it to upload to Impulse. Let us know if you mad betas out there hear anything else...

Reply to Sedna Strategy Guide in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Nice guide, Ralsar. Another build for you to try: Rogue Sedna: Sedna and Cloak of Night were made for each other. Grab warpstone too, and maybe wand of speed. Skill up Pounce, Silence, and Heal. Ignore auras and Yetis past level 1. Buy both 2nd tier gloves and any other dps/snare items you like. This is a quick, aggressive, glass cannon build you use to either finish a wounded opponent or take half of his health so quickly that he

Reply to Is beta still open? in Demigod Demigod Forums

At this time Stardock is not planning on opening Beta to anyone who pre-orders from third-party sources like Gamestop. Incidentally, if it is much cheaper from somewhere else it might be because the Impulse pre-orders are the Collector's Edition.

Reply to [Tournament] War of the Trinity in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

One thing that made me put some time into Rise of Nations was the Risk-like metagame. Something about pulling out from a battle and seeing it affect your territory and resources on the larger map makes it a much more compulsive proposition than just seeing your name or faction rise on a list. It gives the metagame a tangible quality of achievement - always a good thing. A metamap would be difficult to implement before release but even some detailed tou

Reply to RakNET doing Multiplayer Code and/or Audio? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I wonder if Stardock is licensing their system for longterm use in Impulse or if this is an interim which will be replaced as they have time? Either way, if the integration is simple it's most likely a very good idea to use a proven API, especially considering release is just around the corner.

Reply to [PERFORMANCE] The game randomly freeze for 10-20 sec then continue in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

I see this in most multiplayer games about 5 minutes in. Total freeze for 10 seconds or so but music doesn't stop. After first freeze it doesn't re-occur. It occurs for all players in the game. I've also had it where you can still chat but the game is frozen which seems like a lag issue to me. I always restart DG client between games. Intel X38/Q9300 @ 2.6GHz/4GB/ATI 4850

Reply to [REQUEST] A.I. Cheating in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

[quote]AI doesn't cheat on Normal Difficulty Settings I think.[/quote] That is correct. You don't hit "cheating" until you play hard or nightmare AI You have advantages no AI will ever have. If it makes you feel better, some lil AI is probably posting in a virtuality about how humans are cheats because they use adaptability, awareness, and intuitive decision-making. Against those a 20% buff to stats and resources seems pretty paltry... ;P

Cloak of Night OP? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Cloak of Night is the General item instant warp that delivers 300 damage to all enemies near target. I like it a bunch, but it might be slightly OP through level 10 or so, being as it is an instant AoE damage spell you can't run away from. It's the perfect finisher. Alot of times you see people completely confused as to how they died because it happens so quickly... One favorite is 2 QoTs with this item. Two Groundspikes and two cloakwarps will kill most anyone

Reply to [Item Tweak] Staff of Renewal (1/27 Edit) in Demigod Demigod Forums

In a Rook Duel the one with the staff will always win. I would argue that this (along with Cloak of Night) is the most powerful favor item currently. Kurgan's tweak to affect abilities used after trigger works but I would add a short channel time if you go this approach - 1.5 second channel, cooldown on abilities used within 10 seconds of trigger is cut in half. Other possible tweaks - - reduce effect to 30% rather than 50%, still an advanta

Reply to [SUGGESTION] Bring A Gun To A Knife Fight - Regulus in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

This topic has been beat to death in many threads - with people who actually play Regulus on one side and everyone else on the other. Any DG is going to seem overpowered until you play it against skilled opponents. Then it becomes clear that there are weaknesses and blind spots that can be exploited. Regulus has range - entirely mitigated by his low damage, health, and armor. He has no stuns, his main damage spells have been substantially nerfed, a
