Reply to Actually, GPG is Delivering Promises in Demigod Demigod Forums

I'm totally for new maps and I think they can cut down on the costs if they recycle some of the 'old' backgrounds. The environment from Zikurat, Crucible, Leviathan or Mandala could easily be reused for new maps. I think the difficult part would be to come up with interesting, new designs for 3v3 maps that play completely different than Cataract but are not too big.

Reply to Behind the scenes fun at Stardock and GPG in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

I love to read about updates and get a glimpse at the work behind the scenes. If the patch takes a little bit longer so be it, better than to rush out a broken ability and unbalance the game for a week or two. The random bug doesn't need fixing tough! ;) Somebody has to get you a newer graphic card though Frogboy. I cannot believe you have to play on medium settings... :D

Reply to WARNING: Patch 1.19 Replays Cycling Out in Demigod Demigod Forums

Polynomial is right, the older replays won't work with the new version. A replay is basically a list of commands players gave to their demigods and the game engine recreates the game state as the game plays out. Get a new version and things are different: items costs have changed, QoT has been rebalanced... Now the result of carrying out the saved commands is no longer the same and the replay would not work anymore. So the game engine checks the version of the replay and refuses to play out o

I has a happy!!! Thanks for clearing the Horn of Battle thing up Frogboy! I think 50HP/s for 20 second looks a lot better than what the changelog suggested.

Reply to Patch 1.2: Horn of Battle time for effect increased from 10 seconds to 25 seconds. in Demigod Demigod Forums

Only with 25 seconds of regen you can take down a tower much earlier and with fewer minions, you don't have to wait till level 7 anymore. Not to mention that the downtime is now shorter than the effect of HoB. So you are basically constantly fighting minions with a 80HP/s regen. And you can probably save one or two skill points in Conversion Aura early on and get bite or something. But why was HoB changed at all, it was fine, maybe slightly too strong but there was no need to make cha

Reply to Patch 1.2: Horn of Battle time for effect increased from 10 seconds to 25 seconds. in Demigod Demigod Forums

Well, now they are 25 seconds out of 45 almost invulnerable. And 25 seconds are enough to take out 2 towers close to each other. Even if the regen is cut to 80HP/s it's enough to NOM through any defense. Well, at least Erebus' minions can be stopped by mines but just think how much this will change the rules for Oak on some maps. Ghost with 25 seconds of invulnerability to towers? Good luck defending your citadel on Levithan or Crucible...

It's better but it would still mean the minions are regenerating 80 HP/s. I honestly don't think that's fine. Think about it, which skills actually allow you to overcome that kind of regen on a pure minion build? Ooze certainly wont be enough, same with Mist. Keep in mind, this will basically be active every time you go near the minions and will last for 25 seconds - way more time than you can afford to spend taking the damage the Nightwalkers can deal!

Dear Frogboy please have GPG remove this change! I have said it before and I think most of the experienced players will agree that Horn of Battle is already very useful as it is if properly used. Minion Erebus with HoB is extremely powerful and 10 seconds of near immortality for Nightwalkers is more than enough! You can easily take down a tower. I assume the cooldown of 45 seconds for HoB hasn't been changed. This means that Erebus' minions are basically unkillable fo

Reply to Something like not enough memory? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Your CPU and your internet speed are good enough to play 5v5 on large maps without slowdown. Sound is the Achilles Heel of SupCom and Demigod and can lead to problems. However if you can play offline without the slowdown I doubt that's the cause of your problem but it doesn't hurt to test it anyway. My money is still on ZoneAlarm. I would suggest to test Demigod online without ZoneAlarm enabled if possible or find a way to add Demigod to the trusted zone. Sorry, I never used ZoneAlarm

Reply to Something like not enough memory? in Demigod Demigod Forums

The sound stuttering points to the CPU. Demigod sends A LOT of packets to the other players and your firewall probably slows you down. Try to configure ZoneAlarm to ignore traffic from Demigod (should be save securitywise). Does the game slow down when you play offline? How fast is your internet connection? Go to http://www.speedtest.net/ and post the result here pls. Your CPU should be fast enough to play Demigod without problems, I h

[quote]It was barely worth it passing up BotF in the past. I'm not sure how any assassin can afford to pass on an extra 1000 hp. My teleport amulet and BotS builds are less useful now, meaning that I'll probably have to solely use these new favor items. HP stacking has been made worse.[/quote]My thoughts exactly, I went for TP item and BotS on occasion but I guess I can't afford to do this in the future anymore. Well maybe on Mandala or Brothers...
