[quote who="TheBigOne" reply="11" id="1890515"]funny that you mention 200ms as this is the amount of netlag Demigod has by default - Warcraft III on battle.net has 250ms btw. If you really experience a half second of delay that must be a bug or something. However for Singleplayer games you can change it with the command net_lag xyz in the console - push ctrl+~ to open the console (at least if you have english keyboard layout). [/quote] That's a

[quote who="NwExilon" reply="17" id="1891077"]The SupCom engine has always been laggy control wise. [/quote] I can understand that, but when you're telling the 200 planes in your air force to invade something, they don't all arrive at the same time anyway, and the average unit was pretty disposable anyway, and there were plenty of other issues for you to turn your attention to in running your base/army after issuing your orders, so I think the delay is much more tolerable.</

[quote who="taltamir" reply="9" id="1891092"]MMOs are not supposed to be fun, they are a crappy job that you pay for. (or if you are chinese, you get paid to do).

It is not any kind of exaggeration to say that beta 1 of Demigod is more polished, bug free, and playable than AoC is now after release and then months of patches.

I think it feels like the minotaurs are small rather than like the Demigods are gigantic, and I also think that removing archers would make the armies feel more generic.

[Suggestion] Player characters are slow to react in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

When I tell my character what to do, there is about a half second's delay before he starts to actually do it, even when everything else in the game is running smoothly. Is this designed to sort of counteract the effects of lag or is this something that only I'm experiencing? If it's the former, I have to recommend that that be turned down a bit. It's fine for something like Supreme Commander where you have hundreds of units you command all together, and where the performan

What's the harm in assigning skill points? You can't actually use any of the abilities until you respawn.

Reply to [RECOMMENDATION] Item Purchasing Dynamism in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

[quote who="WarlokLord" reply="8" id="1888321"]I would argue that being able to make judgements on such dynamic game elements is part of being a superior player - you gauge the effectiveness of an item versus its price. You can`t simply go online and read a competitive walkthrough somewhere, then suddenly play equally as well as any other player simply because you know what to buy and what not to buy, and in what order. [/quote] I don't necessarily disagree with that statement, b

Reply to [RECOMMENDATION] Item Purchasing Dynamism in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I would prefer if they just make the items balanced and varied enough that adapting to your opponent's choices is more important than buying the "best" set every game. The randomization would be interesting and add variety, but my understanding is that GPG and Stardock are trying to make this a big competitive game, and my experience with crazy overly competitive players is that they usually don't like random factors because they want a pure contest of skill. I personally woul

Reply to [Gameplay] Enemy Demigods hard to differentiate from Friendly Demigods in Demigod Demigod Forums

If you watch some of the commentary the developers of team fortress 2, they said that they designed the shape and coloration of every character so that you would be able to easily identify any other player immediately and from a distance. I think it would be good to follow in these footsteps. As of Beta 1 in Demigod, the different playable characters are different enough that there's not much chance of confusing them, but it could definitely use more differentiation between those

Reply to Sense of scale? in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I kind of get the same feeling as you guys do regarding scale, things don't feel as massive as I'd like them to, but I think that a lot of it is a combination of these things interfering with the actual gameplay, and not being feasible to do while maintaining reasonable system requirements. For what it's worth, I think the tower reaching above the clouds that you fight on for the beta has a nice dramatic feeling of being truly gargantuan. Edit: I think Demigod's scale fe

Skills getting outdated in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Hey, I thought I would put all of my thoughts and ideas on the skills in this game all together in one post. The first issue I thought I would mention is the scaling of skill powers. As you level up your stats and purchase new items, your character's standard attack damage increases. Your skills' damage levels have a much more fixed cap on them, and there does not appear to be a way to increase that. For example, if I remember correctly, Regulus's snipe attack does 6

Reply to Potential Rounding Issues with XP Split (Minatours + Archers) in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think they should keep the amount of xp any given monster can give out at a set amount, like it is now, to keep the metagaming down. If they're worth more exp as a total when killed by a team than an individual, it's wasting exp to fight alone. In other words, if a team of 2 gets a combined total of 6 exp rather than 4, as suggested above, then forming such groups would give the players an unnatural advantage. It would probably only be really relevant at the beginning

[Bug] Skill point malfunction in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Hey, I was playing an ice focused Torchbearer, and upon reaching... I believe it was level 10 I put a point in his frost nova skill. It used up the skill point, but did not give me the skill and would not let me buy any other skills. I couldn't use it from the quickkey, or clicking on it, and it was not lit up on either of my skill lists. Interestingly enough, upon gaining another level, the game then told me I had 2 skill points, and let me buy the frost nova skill and anot
