[quote]Before Beta 2, a 2 versus 1 player match was possible. Allowing the more skilled player to solo, while the slightly less skilled cooperate against him. [/quote] FWIW 1 v 2 might not work in beta 2 Conquest but 2 v 3 works fine. I haven't played it yet but I'm pretty sure 2 v 4 would work too.
To clarify: the damage of a Snipe is not affected by armor, only distance and skill level.
[quote]The item price seems to me to be only temporary. It's nigh on impossible to attain most of the items anyway so I guess they want us to focus on itemless gameplay issues .[/quote]
[quote]We explicitly don't want to add features that largely favor the hard core player. [/quote] I hope I'm interpreting this correctly. You don't need grinding mechanics a la Evercrack to make the game deep, but shutting the door on complex gameplay isn't going to give this game longevity. The phrase "easy to learn, hard to master" comes to mind. If you are saying you want to dumb the game down so that 8 yr olds can beat me then I'll be sad. But if you are saying
[quote]lol, demigod is too long? has the same amount of syllables as TF2 .[/quote] which is an abbreviation for Team Fortress Two...and I'm saying that it gets awkward while on vent to say "please bring your demigod to my location." as opposed to "get your demi/deegee/deej/dig over here!"
[quote]hmmm those are some seriously expensive items, i'd hate to see the cost of artifact items. I doubt we will be able to use most of the items, unless games last a week [/quote] I'm thinking they scrapped the artifact shop and upped gold income from DG last hits, siege, etc.. Guess we'll see tonight
[quote]My biggest issue when looking for games in beta2a lately is not everyone playing logs into IRC.[/quote] Seriously, you non-IRC laggards should read THIS and get on IRC. It's very easy, you will find good games very quickly and actually be able to talk to your opponents after the game which always helps you figure out what went wrong ^^ [quote]Should'nt you guys want to TEAM with us instead of beating us? [/quote] I, for one
You mean like 64 bit OS? I'm playing the beta on Vista 64 so the magic 8ball says your chances are good :)
aww thanks mcmjon, I was already immersed in reading when you wrote that, but we'll get some games this weekend. Wanna see what's up with Sedna and her killer [e digicons]:seal:[/e]
So just to update: Frogboy is projecting Beta availibility today "Evening-ish, EST" at which point this thread will resume normal "2B First Impressions" activity. That is all
k thanks for the quick reply
[quote]I was reading in the forums someone saying something to the effect of "I was playing a game and the other player took all the flags in the first 15 minutes and it seemed like it was hard to come back from that." In the final version of Demigod, the game would be over before 15 minutes if that happened.[/quote] Well, mcmjon, I guess that answers that question ^^ Beta 3 next week? You guys are working fast... Thanks for the u
Thanks, Kestrel
I can't access this site :/ [kicks firewall]
Agreed. Right now (against AI) it's possible to finish a 5 v 5 game in 10 minutes or so. A balanced 1 v 1 can go over 60 minutes, and it would be nice if that could be dropped down some. It seems like two balanced players will hit stalemate and it becomes a question of who can grind more effectively.
sigh...my poor thread [John Goodman grabs the mic] this is what happens, devs.. This is what happens when you don't release 2b!!!
[quote]The other modes will be in but I don't think that the flag placement based on mode will be in.[/quote] So Conquest will have different flag placement than Slaughter, that sort of thing? [quote]Capture the flag is in there too (literally run to the other side, get the flag and bring it back to base). Not really my cup of tea.[/quote] Since I was 8 years old or so and we used to get giant camo-ninja games -had a soft spot for Capture the Flag [e digicons]:')[

They tried that. He blotted out the sun. But seriously - You couldn't see any of the other demis around him so they reduced his size
[quote who="Soccer194" reply="11" id="2020905"]Flururs u didnt. thats my avatar, and yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. [/quote] Yah lol at first I was like "Why does soccer care if TB is out? He only plays Regulus.." I'm always getting Clan Xers confused too...
[quote]If we get it before the weekend, we should do another planned set of matches. Try to get some 5v5 going.[/quote] Good call! We'll have to set something up with the devs too... I'll be on Sat, Sun, Mon, and Tues mornings US EST if anyone wants to play.
thanks for the update, Frogboy. If we can get it before the weekend that would be great :)
Yah, won't be out for a couple hours, most likely. When it does come out, though, let us know what you think
I will be at work when this comes out today, but I thought I'd ask what your first impressions are?
[quote who="Flurus" reply="3" id="2020506"]Oh no! TB gone [/quote] Erebus too...Spiking is going to have a different flavor after this.
