Reply to I wanted Demigod to be great... in Demigod Demigod Forums

I feel the same way... which is probably why I haven't played in several months. Also attributing to that is I've been in the LoL and HoN betas for the last two months. For me, those games are a lot more in line with what I want. More competitive, more strategy, more heroes, more micro intensive, etc etc. Demigod is a great game for some people, but it can't please everyone. Unfortunately, it would seem that I belong to the later group. I still drop b

Reply to Exile: Crystal Placement Bug/Exploit (Documented with pics) in Demigod Demigod Forums

all maps have the crystal behind the citadel. this map is the only one that has the "feature" where teh crystal can be in front. I'm going to go ahead and say that it's probably not as designed and was an oversight. Furthermore, healing from this crystal is not obvious and you can only do it from a small area on that bride section. This makes it even more suspicious that it's not intentional.

That's also proof that Any MMO can become a smash hit like WOW! Because no one expects the bar to be raised with each subsequent game... :p

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="8" id="2318823"] Comparing a retail release to an MMO is a pointless comparison when you look at things like the budget they have to work within and the amount of man-hours they are able to dedicate to the game. Age of Conan - even the over-hauled game - is a terrible MMO that deserves to fail. Demigod is a great game.

[quote]Wrong. The publisher isn't responsible in this case, as Demigod is a product of Gas Powered Games and Stardock has little to no control over Gas Powered Games and the direction they go with Demigod outside of Gas Powered Games' contractual obligations.

If you're referring to me, my post wasn't saying demigod sucks. My post just now was criticizing other people's arguments. I'd like the game to succeed, but I still can't stand crazy talk from either camp.

[quote]A publisher is ultimately responsible for the game. They finance the development. They supervise the development process. They call the shots. How many times have you seen good publishers swap dev teams on a project? Blizzard moved StarCraft Ghost to different dev studios twice before canning the project. The Publisher is like the board of directors.. if a company is flailing, the investors don't put the brunt of the blame on the CEO - the Board should have replaced him if he wasn't do

Reply to Thoughts On HP Items: Why they are a problem in Demigod Demigod Forums

A consequence of reducing the importance of the HP items is that dps items become much more predominant. In other words, Auto-attack will be used much more to kill. Heroes that rely on bursty skills will suffer from a lack of compelling item choices because of this.

Reply to Random Demigod bug and how to fix it. in Demigod Demigod Forums

I know you're just trying to help, but there's a certain amount of hubris when an amateur tells a professional how to fix their problems. You haven't seen the code. Often times complex problems masquerade as trivial bugs/missing features. It's best to just let GPG fix the problems. I'd hate it if someone started spouting "solutions" for bugs in my game code when they haven't even seen the source code.

Reply to Free mana: is it an exploit? in Demigod Demigod Forums

The way I think it should be, and is in most games with mechanics like this, is that only the max goes up and down. Thus, if you suddenly pick up a plenor crown and you're at 3000/3000 mana, you should then be at 3000/4500 mana. If you have plenor crown and you're at 4500/4500, drop it, and pick it up again, you should be at 3000/4500 mana.

Reply to How can you mess up stats? in Demigod Demigod Forums

that doesn't even make any sense. Winning is a boolean operation. You either win, or you don't. Disconnects/losses/etc are all not wins. Because winning is either true or false, it must be between 0%-100% To be -4%, your math is completely bunk. Edit: I see, the actual number of game recorded is screwed, so yeah the stats themselves are bunk.

Reply to Favor reset is totally ruined this evening. in Demigod Demigod Forums

I was starting to enjoy this game too. :( Punishing everyone because a handful of people got extra favour is hardly fair. I got extra favour for the first couple games (about 4 billion), then after that my favour went to zero, I lost all items, and I didn't gain favour for several weeks. Finally I started gaining favour again and grinded about 50% of the favour items. Losing them all is seriously NOT FUCKING cool. Time for a long break from this game.

Cool stuff. I was worried mines don't give gold and I'd be forced to use angel's wrath to farm. (No, I don't really look closely at the gold when i kill creeps and I'm at work so I can't check right now)

Reply to AOE Damage XP Vs Single Target XP in Demigod Demigod Forums

The wiki also lists some skills that don't get it the gold/exp. Can someone confirm/clarify the following? Mines - do they ALWAYS give gold but not the exp tagging? Meaning if i kill enemies with mines, I'll always get gold, but if i also want exp, i have to be nearby Rook towers - do they behave the same as mines and gold tag? Can anyone confirm that these are the only skills? How about angel's wrath (the reg skill)? Also, do you get go

I see - so 25% is the magic number. Instead of last hits, it's get them all down to 25%. 25% is Demigod's "last hits".

Here's how I see it, your mileage may differ. If you're already winning (ie. pushing to their towers consistently) priests can help speed things up. If you're in stalemate, priests are probably not be a good idea, unless you feel that you can use them in coordination with an all-out all-heroes-in-one-lane attac. Even if you manage to rush down a couple of their towers, they rate of their exp/growth will outshadow yours. So if you can't kill them with an alpha strik

In the wiki, it said that if the whole army deals more than 25% damage, the gold is distributed normally. Then it goes on to say that it's better to deal 50% damage to 4 monsters than to kill 2. How much damage do you need to do to tag the creep to get gold? 25%? 50%? 75%?
