[Gameplay/Balance] Stacking Demigods in Demigod Demigod Forums

Variations on a theme. We've looked at stacked stuns and items, now let's think on Demigods for a moment. What happens when you stack the same ability from multiple DGs? One example (from an IRC convo with Gazpar and Mcmjon, thanks guys): At full range and skill Regulus can snipe for a little less than 1000 dmg. 5 Regs on a team means almost 5k focused damage from one ability with a low cooldown and extreme range. An organized t

If the story was not liked, the parliament would attack and kill the speaker.

[Bug] Favor Item Bug in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

I don't have the name handy, but there is a favor item necklace with Purity in the title (help me out here guys) that claims to remove all negative effects from the bearer. 1. It doesn't remove stuns and it should (your UI doesn't let you access any items when stunned, currently) 2. It should allow usage on allied Demigods, not just self This was my last hope against organized spikes. Please fix. Thanks Kestrel

Reply to [Feature] Make the desync notification go away forever in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

So the desync is actually telling you that your version of the game you are playing has diverged from your opponent's. The game may appear to be continuing normally, but it's not, and it won't reconverge. A solution may be to have the game say "Desync detected" and then give you options for ending the game and restarting or just exiting to desktop immediately.

[Invitation] Stardock and GPG in Demigod Demigod Forums

Once netcode gets all smoothed out (this Thursday?

Is that something that would interest GPG and Stardock? If so, what are good days/times to put something like that together? Thanks Kestrel

Reply to help laptop spec in Demigod Demigod Forums

Hi Foxwell, It sounds like you have a good mid-range setup, and you should have no trouble playing Demigod at medium settings. We don't yet know how optimized the game will be, so it might be a stretch to say you can max out all settings on that laptop.

[quote]It seems very weird because I've had enemies with just a sliver of health run away form me and snipe didn't finish the job. I distinctly remember cases where I was absolutely certain I would kill them and yet they never died.[/quote] It's one reason it might be nice if the devs included an option to overlay healthbars with numbers. A DG fleeing with 150 health is indistinguishable from a DG fleeing with 300 health, and a level 1 or 2 snipe isn't going to kill the second o

Reply to [BUG] Oak last stand is standing for ever! in Demigod Demigod Forums

Repeatable. I've definitely been on a winning team and had this happen for an enemy player, who then proceeded to demolish our citadel. At the least the devs should keep it from ever happening to Flurus again :P

Reply to [RESOLVED] Regulus snipe always misses when target moves into the Fog in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

[quote]However due to the time the snipe takes to load and since regulus needs to remain static, by the time it has fired, the target has already moved into the FoW and then the snipe _always_ misses.[/quote] How are you judging this? In my experience the Snipe *always* hits as long as you trigger it while the enemy is still in range. You will not see damage numbers through the FoW, but I've landed too many snipes on ported or cross-map invisible DGs to agree with you here

Reply to [Suggestion] Creeps and their Upgrades in Demigod Demigod Forums

lol Anyway, playing with settings at "strong grunts" does make a difference. My feeling is the devs should move that to default, and the new "strong" setting would mean that 5 minotaurs would get your level 5 DG down to quarter health if you aren't careful.

Reply to So after some time with Beta 2, what do you all think? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I'm enjoying Beta 2, mostly because there are some really satisfying team elements in multiplayer I'm still figuring out. Of course there are balance issues and netcode problems but right now it's the game I'll flip to whenever I have 40 minutes. @ Jinx and Slippery - you should try the multiplay (when it gets fixed). Much deeper game.
