Reply to September 2009: End of an era, and what we can do to prevent it in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="Dragon On Wheels" reply="7" id="2269688"]Well, I honestly think that the 50%, the 65%, and the 75% given by 1UP, Gamespot, and IGN respectively don't show Demigod's true potential for fun and action. While the reviews they gave may be borderline "nice" and empathetic, but the cold reality of people who read these websites and magazines is that they merely glance at the scores and immediately make a snap decision to either buy the game or discard any thoughts regarding it. <br

Reply to Any Demigod Aus players? in Demigod Demigod Forums

There are quite a few Australian players, but you'll struggle to get a game other than during the 7pm-11pm timeslot each night. There seems to be fewer players now that it has finally been released at retail, than when it was first released online - I guess that's the effect of people getting fed up with the connection issues.

[quote who="Master Shake" reply="25" id="2211814"]This is something I've wondered about. People have told me that HoL is a must-get for oak. Just use it while shielded and you're good to go, right? I tried it, to little success, decided there was something I was doing wrong, couldn't figure it out, and went on to try to develop tactics I could handle.

@Mishyu, how are the proxy servers going to help? He's not having any trouble connecting, he's getting kicked because his ping is 250-300ms - the proxies will just make this worse if he connects through them (which he wouldn't anyway). There are a few Aussie players, but Demigod still hasn't been released at retail here for some reason, so you can only really get a game going for a couple of hours each night. I've played a few games with US west coast players, in which I have around 2

Reply to Death messes up camera angle in Demigod Demigod Forums

Simple solution - Don't Die. Otherwise, surely it doesn't take much effort to reset your camera. I'm constantly moving the camera around in game to get the best viewing angle on the battle. Do you seriously play with the camera at 90 degrees? Top-down?

Reply to P2P unfair? in Demigod Demigod Forums

The proxies aren't going to help your ping, they'll make it worse. The purpose of the proxies is to allow people who can't connect directly to connect to each other through the proxy server. If dota works fine, why don't you go play it?

Reply to Please remove the ping section in the game. in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="dolmong" reply="17" id="2167085"]Just had another game with around the ping 300ms. Plays through fine !!! [/quote] That's BS dolmong. I was in that game, and it was lagging like crazy - your ping was spiking between 300 and 550 constantly. If I'd been the host rather than fireslide, I would have kicked you from the lobby.

Reply to Please remove the ping section in the game. in Demigod Demigod Forums

So it's not the fact that you're several thousand kms away from the host that makes the game lag then? High ping will generally mean a poor connection, and will likely lead to slow downs in game. I'm in Australia, and no matter what name I use when hosting games, I still have several people from Europe or the US join, and they have 400 - 500 ping, so I kick them. If I couldn't see their ping, I'd start the game and only then discover how shit it's going to run. Solution

Reply to Help with starting out in MP in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

If you're playing as the rook, get the towers, and start raising towers near where the creeps do battle with each other. Then go start capping flags - this gives heaps of xp early game. Harass enemy dg's around the flags and when they farm creeps, but don't die - don't stray too far from your own towers. If an enemy dg comes to attack you, raise a tower then hit him a few times - at level two grab the hammer slam, use that on dg's, don't waste mana casting it at creeps.

Agreed, but not just heeled - should show damage prevented using shield, bramble, etc - maybe call it damage mitigated or something. Need some recognition on the scoreboard for the support classes. Maybe a count of number of times buffed allies/ debuffed enemies, or something.

The currency upgrades are really useful, allows you to get those highler level items a whole lot quicker, at the cost of not having some low level item or other. Getting priests out asap is also pretty useful.

A Dozen Demigods? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Watch your demigod grow in power as they gain experience, level up, and brush aside hordes of enemy minions" What's the dealio? Eight isn't a dozen, or nearly a dozen.
