Reply to [Bug] Regulus abort sniping in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

[quote who="Rumors" reply="2" id="2049074"]I'm not sure what flurus meant, but imo any targeted skill should abort if the target finishes cast in the teleport. UB spit, Rook Hammer Slam, TB fire ball, Reg snipe, Sedna Pounce... There's no point in a skill hitting a target that has just teleported out. [/quote] Snipe was designed specifically so that it would home in on Dgs that have ported elsewhere. It should abort if the snipe was started late in the port channel, b

Reply to My personal think about the Rook. (gameplay hint !! to beat Wagnard ) in Demigod Demigod Forums

Quick FYI - Vundarbread confirmed on IRC last night that the AoE from Hammerslam is perfectly circular and radiates from the point of impact (the hammer) not from the Rook himself. So the best direction to flee when the hammer comes down (when the bug is fixed) is whatever direction is the shortest route out of the AoE radius. I think in alot of cases this will still be through the Rook's legs, because you often start closer to the Rook when the animation starts than other

[quote]With Regulus you just walk around and shoot stuff.[/quote] O man, I wish we had signatures on these forums, because that would be mine..[e digicons];)[/e] I'll say this a different way - the threshold for decent play with Regulus (and Rook) might be lower than for QoT or UB. I'd be more than happy if that threshold were raised. (Mind you, a good Reg will beat a bad Reg every time) It would be nice if at the same time they brought back dynamic play for

[quote]But play QoT or Unclean Beast exclusively, and you will see just how much easier Regulus is to play.[/quote] See, if you said Oak or Sedna I'd be fine with that, because they are fun to play in the same way Regulus and Rook used to be. The only difference is that people know how to play with Reg and Rook so they get nerfed. They don't need a nerf any more than Oak does - we just need to bring Beast and Queen up to a competitive level with them. (Give Sedna and

Reply to Protection against leavers in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I think everyone understand RL priority over the game, HR. Sometimes you have to see a man about a horse ^^ This thread is more about the tendency for some people to quit a game at the first sign that losing is remotely possible. If you quit for that reason you are letting your team down and disrespecting your opponents - you are a leaver. It's alot different from saying "hey, my girlfriend is calling long-distance, I gtg, but gg" when you are a leaver&nbs

[Ability Tweak] Mark of the Betrayer in Demigod Demigod Forums

Currently Mark of the Betrayer (MoB) is a late-availability spell for Regulus - when cast, its target will take damage and a movement debuff as soon as he uses an ability. I have never bothered with MoB for a few simple reasons - - I don't like having to rely on the actions of my opponent to trigger an ability. - The ability is not currently strong enough to act as a disincentive, unless the opponent is very weak - By the time the ability is a

Thanks Wildcard, I think you bring some good perspective. Rumors, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. My experience has been different from yours, but it doesn't mean you are wrong. Like Dalzk, I'd be happy to give you the opportunity to demonstrate Regulus' Easy Mode in a 1 v 1. If you want, bring a friend - You can both play Reg and I'll find an ally and neither of us will play as the angel, I promise ^^ I'll be on mo

[quote]However, the graphical evidence you've kindly supplied is like a few frames or scenes of a 4 hour movie. You can justify any conclusion you want if you limit your data to just the 'right' time frame. A fundamental tenet of science to remember is this: association is not causation. I have never argued, here or elsewhere, that we are not in the midst of a warming trend - the rub lies in the claim that man is the principal cause of it and the corollary, man must 'fix' it. I also object to

[quote who="Rumors" reply="7" id="2047418"]Well, not counting items, since everyone starts on the same ground, Regulus is indeed overpowered. And saying "if u buy this this and this u can beat him" just states that he is overpowered, u buy those items, he will buy others to counter your strategy and you just die anyway. [/quote] I have to disagree with you. It seems to me that actually Regulus got more nerfs in 2D than any other DG. Also, I get the feeling, fr

Reply to [Bug] Regulus abort sniping in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

this is repeatable - once snipe has channeled for a certain amount of time it should always proc, imo, but sometimes your snipe will be very close to trigger (like 80-90% through channel bar) and abort because the enemy has teleported just before the shot. (To clarify, I'm not talking about when you just start a snipe channel and the enemy ports out. It should abort then)

Reply to REGULUS is more than OP, he is untouchable in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

hey champ - I'm assuming you are playing as a melee DG like Oak or UB, so here are a few thoughts that might help. You need to invest in skills or items that will slow your opponent down. Oak's Penitence is great, as are UB's Diseased Claws and the Wyrmskin Gloves item. Once you can slow your opponent down by 15-20% you should start picking up the following: Warpstone - use this to get right up next to your enemy so you can hit him with your mele
