ok chart feedback - I think overall it looks fine, but I'm concerned we are giving QoT too little credit. Think about it in a 2v2 context - who beats a Sedna/QoT team with stacked idol healers? Maybe TB/UB if they make it to the extreme late game, but otherwise? You can't drop enough damage for them to care and we've excluded most of the stun teams who could make a dent. I would make QoT and Sedna mutually exclusive, and I think we should look hard at
Ke5trel
awesome, I can read attempt 1 and 2, and Ptarth's so thanks for the quick response, guys feedback on the chart itself shortly
Hey pacov, just wondering - I can't access the imageshack chart you have posted from work, is it possible to format it directly into the OP or even a comment so I can see what you guys are talking about? If not no worries but I'm sure I'm not the only one cheers
[quote]Renzo is in a completely different timezone so I don't know how reliable he would be, a convenient time for the rest of us to play is like 3 in the morning for him. [/quote] Yah that's what McGreg and I were looking at. Just ambling down that lonesome North American highway.... [e digicons]-_-[/e]
that sounds awesome
cool cool, glad that's set. So now that I'm in this thing: Team selection: KISS (Keep It Simple Sedna) Saying your team has Reg, DA, or TB is a good first tournament rule. Maybe we can branch out from there with future events, but the simpler the better to start, imo. While the default might be Oak/TB or Erb/TB I really wouldn't discount UB/DA or Rook/Reg, for example. In any case, this is something we should set in stone soon so pe
[quote]I really would like to play, but i cant play, if the tournament itself is on the weekend 17.04, 18.04 or 19.04 Do u know when the tournament will happen? And is there somebody that wants to play with me? hrhr (totally out of training) Greetz Greg[/quote] McGreg - let's hook it up. Pacov - sign me up as a free agent for now, and if McGreg is feeling it we'll move over to team status
What would the scheduling on this look like? Weekend or weeknights? hmm, edit didn't take? Edit: Can one player on the team play the DA/TB/Reg, or do you have to alternate?
hmm, well, I guess we'll have to test some more Thanks for checking it out
[quote who="lethstang" reply="33" id="2583648"]ive always found with oak, that if you dont buff his minions through morale or some gloves, they are just cannon fodder. I dont see how this build is superior to pure assassin or pure minon because of these two points. However Ill do this once in awhile just because i love seeing so many spirits. thanks kestrel for posting another flavor of oak. He has many![/quote] Where this is better than Assassin Oak - soloing a lane
kryo, thanks for catching this. If your side hasn't changed anything then I'm not sure what's happening. We aren't getting bad or endless connection dialogue, all players can connect to each other, all pings are acceptable, we aren't looking at NAT or Proxy conns, and we are able to get games with all of these players with any number less than 5v5. 5v5 isn't working. It looks like the ingame lobby launch button has been disabled for 10 player ga
Maybe the server capacity required jumps exponentially and they are trying to switch resources over to Elemental? It's sorta sad that at a point when you can actually get reliably good 5v5 through Lagwars they turn it off, if that is what happened and it isn't, say, a completely new bug...
[quote]Yea, he's good enough for tier 2. Him, magnus, and Ke5trel beat Renzo and I in like an 80 minute long game earlier; he played quite well. [/quote] That game was brutal.
See title. What gives?
nominating captnspaulding, tier 2 I'd never played with the guy before tonight, but he plays a good beast and has fierce map control some of the cats you have up there in tier 1 should be able to vouch
@ hedgie - exactly, though I tend to get three mana pots instead of the second helm, really lets me spam and it's the same difference early
Yah so, um...I've been playing with some skilled old school people who don't seem to understand this one... Say your team has two generals. Each general has access to idol healers. Each level of idol healer has a seperate cooldown. What that means: If my occulus gives your sedna a cleric, and your sedna gives my occulus a monk, we will each have one cleric and one monk. And each of us will get a little more than twice as much healing
[quote who="Polynomial" reply="27" id="2567692"] Has nothing to do with the graphics or budget. The graphics were one thing that made Demigod unique. Lowering the visuals would only hurt a potential sequel. The real problem with Demigod was 50% of GPG being laid off in mid development in 2008.[/quote] Hmm, source on the 50% thing? [quote]If there is a God in heaven who loves us he will not allow Demigod II to be co-designed for a console like SupCom II wa
Looking at it another way: 1. Demigod's major failing was that it was too beautiful for its budget, team size, or development window. This had a few effects. - baseline mechanics (favor, minions, etc) and peripherals (stats, netcode) were neglected before release because the maps and models had to look so frikkin good. - post-release modification of said maps and models by the community or even the devs proved extremely difficult. <
[quote]One thing that is abundantly clear is that there is no way to prove something to someone if they don't want to believe it. That is basic human nature. If all I have to say is, "your data is false", then how do you prove your data is not false?[/quote] I have data that your house is burning. You tell me the data is false. Eventually, one perspective will win out, i.e. the house is either burning or it isn't. Your belief either way would be irrelevant to the reality,
lol mate, you are trolling in honor of Dr Guy, right? Or are you seriously linking to hackneyed thriller novels as a legitimate point of discussion? It's like citing the Da Vinci Code as to why Opus Dei is evil...
@DJ - Yep, you and China are winning the 'debate' on AGW! Yay! Let's all crack open a Tsingtao and celebrate the triumph of the 'Murcan/Politburo way while watching the corral slowly bleach
Yah, I can't wait to read the next (Nail-In-Da-Coffin!!!!) anti-AGW paper which references conservation of our natural racehorses ;)
[quote]...nobody involved (neither editor, nor reviewers, nor authors) seems to have caught the egregious basic error that the authors mistakenly used degrees rather then the required radians in calculating the cosine functions used to spatially weight their estimates[/quote] Heavens. With friends like these.... It must be a nefarious ploy on the part of all those satanic religious AGW Goretite greenist zealots to get dissenting papers published with such moronic errors
[quote who="Daiwa" reply="182" id="2561154"]Part of the problem, and a major reason skepticism is persistent, is that data & analyses from other scientific disciplines with a bearing on climate research but which are not 'climatology' are pretty much rejected out of hand, if they in any way disagree with the AGW narrative that is.[/quote] Such as? Endocrinology? Some guy employed by the Heartland Institute? I'd love to see some links. The thing is, the stuf
