Here's a question: are item damage buffs considered spell damage? As in - are they mitigated by armor? If not, that might be one reason the devs did it this way...

[quote]This. It keeps me on my toes and forces me to treat any demigod as a serious threat at all times. The rook is a perfect example.

I think of all the game modes the hardest to program for will be Capture the Flag - Ai just won't be able to cover or intercept a flagcarrier the way players will - if they can nail that then the other game modes should be easy in comparison.

[quote]And WTH im not first now! I have 100 wins.

Edit: so as I refresh they are slowly incorporating all ranks, not just top 12 - very cool

Yah that's how Sins' system worked from release and it makes stats fairly worthless - it's a truism in SoaSE that you can play someone with 500 games played and 400 wins/23 losses and they will be completely terrible...the only meaningful stats there are the losses.. at least here time played gives some indication, but they should make games which end in under 5 minutes not count or at least take bot matches out of the equation... Edit: I'm glad t

I wonder if the minutes played only tracks winning games too? Kira's games won is roughly 30 minutes a game, and Wagnard's is roughly 25 minutes a game - games usually last upwards of 20 minutes unless someone is getting stomped... Also Wagnard's games won has gone up by 4 in ten minutes? [e digicons]o_O[/e]

I think we are all curious about this stuff. Any thoughts, Devs? In terms of preference: Automated tournaments would be fine, but I think it's a mistake to limit it to 4 specific DGs on a side, unless you can polish the balance to such an extent that they really match each other - never easy when the Dgs are not direct analogues. Of course that's where balance testing will come in next week, but we don't have alot of time, and this looks grim: Sedna vs Q

Great news, thanks Frogboy This has been brought up before but no answer was given, afaik - Are the light and dark sides going to be DG specific? As in, Regulus can only play on for the Forces of Light and Beast can only play for the Forces of Darkness?

Reply to Protection against leavers in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I really like the GW implementation, including a dishonor ranking, and I'd put in an exception - - If all remaining players vote to quit without a victory condition then no penalty is assessed. I'm thinking of situations where someone loses connection, the game desynchs, etc. where a remake is clearly in order and you shouldn't be forced to finish to avoid dishonor.

[quote]Also note that you act as if there was only one way to spec UB (auto-attack damage), which is blatantly wrong. If you are facing off against a Rook (which in itself, might be a clue to spec differently) and you notice he's going armor heavy - don't play into his game by simply doing what you always do. If you can't find a single-target spell-based spec for UB (something I doubt), you can easily switch tracks and go for an army killer build, circumventing the armor-heavy build of your o

So I read the OP update edit just now and I think it draws a good distinction. It doesn't matter how good one service is compared to the other, as long as there is more than one service. Steam right now is the Giant and Impulse is Jack... It doesn't really matter where Steam and Impulse stand now, though, because online retailers will boom and bust far faster than most of us think. Youtube is 4 years old this month, for example, and Wikipedia is 8 years old, but

By system I assume you mean the mitigation formula, right? You certainly aren't talking about item selection and availability...The formula isn't relevant - no one is questioning it. What we are concerned with is how it is applied. In 2D, afaik, you can mitigate non-spell damage to a far greater practical extent than previously. Additionally, the Stats builds that worked so well in Beta 1 have been nerfed by about 66% from a skill perspective and the DPS

First - nice work. Impulse has come a long way, baby. And in very little time, so it will be very cool to see what it looks like in a year.

It's the gamer's Myspace, and the ability to connect with friends and communities, to be social, will give it brand longevity where a DDL
