Reply to How would you counter a 3v3 you = oak, queen, reg. vs them = sedna, sedna, oak in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

You got raped because your teammate left, most likely. High dps > sedna. UB, Reg, and Oak should be able to do it without too much problem if they are equal skill to the sedna, though it may be later into the game before they start to be able to come out on top.

Sounds like this is one of the things the team is looking at, which is great news! The UDP issues can be theoretically handled by the application, but it just makes more sense to use TCP for establishing connections and updating game data (who's in the game, who you need to connect to, etc.).

Reply to Favor - Major cause of imbalance right now. in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="RainFall2112" reply="3" id="2172953"]I've spoke of this before. The whole favor system is flawed. it doesn't prevent "rage quitting". What it does it teach you to rage quit earlier or rage quit after you've got all your favor. All it does it creates a WoW battleground like grind that noone likes and benefits the "haves" while putting the "have nots" at a severe disadvantage.

is UDP or TCP used for establishing connections between players, checking connection status, etc? in Demigod Demigod Forums

most games use UDP for their core game play, which is understandable because it's much faster, if not reliable. However, it seems like TCP is needed to establish connections and make sure everyone shakes each other's hands correctly. If UDP is used for this... well, I could see why there is such a high failure rate even with good settings.

Well, I remember hearing that Sins cost about 2 million to make, so was a very cheap and profitable game for SD. I would imagine DG to be slightly more expensive, but that's just a guess.

Past lvl 15, you really are better off auto attacking than using hammerslam in most cases. Better to have put those points into other skills, because you can do more DPS than hammerslam does, and not have to worry about missing or interupts at least. Same when you look at fireball.

Sigh. SD makes great games and software, GPG makes great games, Valve makes great games and software, and Blizzard makes great games. Suggesting otherwise is retarded-elitism. Essentially saying, "I don't like the same massively popular, critically acclaimed crap as everyone else, therefore I'm better than everyone else." Retarded. It was wrong of VoW-Kyro to suggest that SD wants their products to fail, but he's probably having a rough time with entertainment, so I forgive hi

I don't think the OP was talking about favor points at all. How much favor you get is pretty minor in the long run. What does matter is how much reward you get in the game. If the only reward is for killing other players (and a little for controlling gold mines), then what's the point in making anything but an assassin type character (even if you pick a general).
