[quote]The connection dialogs will definitely be receiving love. That small dialog Teseer is talking about is placeholder and wretched [/quote] Ah yes, thank you. Right now there is like a pixel of hypertext that triggers the eject. Have to be in a pretty zen place to find it :P

Seems like some demis are doing damage when they die (Unclean Beast's pool of acid) and some aren't at all (Regulus, Erebus, Oak). Will this be implemented later or is it being phased out? Also, really nice Rook death animation, guys :D
Yah, this was in the last Beta, LK. No one used it but it existed.
[quote]even with a General on the battlefield the minions need to be their arms and legs, but the General really shouldn't be the one 'doing' anything - such as attacking towers, forts, and capturing flags. That should be mainly the function of an Assassin and the General's Minions.[/quote] I agree with this. Soccer is fun and enthusiastic, no need to "humbly" direct him to sit down and shut up
You'll have to be careful with this. In previous builds you could block a portal so that all the grunts got trapped, meaning that when you let them out you had an uber-storm of grunts flooding out, not to mention the denial possibilities...
@ oKnight, why even have a unit in that scenario called "the General?" What purpose does a base-bound General serve in this game? @ Droopy, I hear you on minion-limited buffs, but as it is right now grunts don't affect gameplay (with the exception of catsaurs) and they should. If you make the items general then you open it different play-styles and builds a bit more. Maybe you could make General's items buff minions 100% and regular grunts 50%, for ex
I see it this way: If I steamrolled you I'm going to say GG in recognition of your effort and to show I don't take the victory for granted. If you steamrolled me I'm going to say GG because hopefully I've learned something from the experience, and I appreciate you sharing your skills. If it was closely fought to the end I'm going to say GG because it was a Good Game. GG is shorthand for "I respect you as an opponent" and I actually felt bad whe
[quote]There've been RPG/RTS hybrids that have worked perfectly before - the claim that it's impossible is simply wrong. Look at Spellforce - they had full blown RTS, and full blown RPG. Both of which worked on their own, and in mixed situations.[/quote] Really? Aside from Giants I don't know that I have ever played a balanced multiplayer game that put an RPG character against an RTS-style army. If that exists then you got me.

[quote]It reduces the game to 'he who holds the most portals' and 'he who has the most AoE spam'[/quote] Have you tried it? It actually makes skill alot more of a factor than current default settings, and games end faster. I play mostly on Prison with a stat-based Regulus so the above doesn't really apply.
Stupid forum ate my comment? ANyway: [quote]If you don't wanna stay in the base, that's fantastic. You should be able to choose a General that is more offensive. If I want to stay in the base, I should be able to choose a General more built for that.[/quote] [quote]Generals should build structure: this way they can choose beetween ressource, unit construction, helping assassin. They support the war effort by building structure. BUT they don't spawn light tower all
edit: basic formations would be nice
How does proximity work in this game? Does Regulus get xp/gold for sniping a DG across the map? Does he get XP/gold for units he kills with mines on the other side of the map? Does a General get xp/gold for units/towers his minions kill on the other side of the map? Can his minions cap a flag without him and does he get xp for this? Does Erebus get xp/gold if his poison potion drop kills a DG? Off-topic: what does "We
[quote]His move which adds bonus damage and takes 32 mana per shot is useless, I get the extra stats instead. The explosion on impact doesn't really seem to do anything really, the damage could do with an increase.[/quote] Through War Rank 6/Cats I'm playing Regulus without items (I'll pick up Boots of Speed early) and I find Angelic Fury pretty useful both as a splash-damage grunt killer and 1 v 1 against another ranged demi, in fact I never turn it off. I put my points in this
Strongest Grunts, Weakest Towers, and Draconic resurrection. I could have sworn I just saw a post that said this, but it has disappeared and I have a headcold, so until we get a patch let's just make this default. Peace
hey Kryo, nice roundup. Do you mind editing the links and titles to a different color? The yellow doesn't actually show up, just looks white. Thanks
[quote]I Say we go on a hunt for these developers and I want a full out debate with them personally so we can express our dissatification about the game so far and where it looks like it is heading.[/quote] the devs do visit these forums regularly, but you might get quicker responses on the DG IRC http://forums.demigodthegame.com/307230
Hey so without a postgame or general chat lobby I don't really get to say this, but if I played you this weekend or if I play you before they patch one in: GG Dunno why just seems wrong not to say it, win or lose...
Ding! Gratz, [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e] boy
It's been a running theme, but I'd really like to see the items revamped to include combo custom upgrades. Let me combine my boots of +15% speed with my boots of +10% dodge to make boots of +12% speed and +8% dodge. Two boots of +15% speed will give you boots of +24% speed, etc... or This might not be viable in the short games we play, but it would be awesome with persistent items
[quote]I trash everything as a Regulus, get Beyond Godlikes every game, and I can't kill shit when I play Torchbearer. I doubt it's Regulus. He's WAY better than he used to be and everyone else seems to have been nerfed as well.[/quote] This
seen this with Regulus as well Good catch
[quote]Last beta phase, there was an allowance of a few days to let people who pre-ordered that day (or up to 2-3 days following the start of that beta phase) entrance to the beta. Is this true for this phase? So if my brother wants to pre-order today or tomorrow, will he still get in as well as me (whopre-ordered mid-November)?[/quote] According to Kryo you or your brother have about a week to get in, Yuriken
hi Krev, these prblems are known issues, and GPG and Stardock are working to put an update out today as well as a possible update tomorrow. Stay strong til then ;P Peace Kestrel
Thanks Frogboy So I haven't tried it yet, can you join general chat lobby from inside a game lobby? If so, a quick workaround for invalid games-available list is just to say on general: "Ke5trel 1 v 1 is open" when you create a game and before the game starts just pop into general chat to say that it is closed.
[e digicons]XD[/e] save some games for me, guys...I'll be on in less than three hours, hopefully...
