Reply to Fix the damn priest upgrade already sheesh in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="woca" reply="8" id="2272905"]they may hurt, but priest is the only upgrade that helps enemy[/quote] It only helps the enemy, if used wrong. If you are able to put more pressure on the enemy with priests, then they definitely do not help the enemy. They help you with killing towers and killing or pushing back enemy Demigods.

That's the case for any creep upgrade. Nothing wrong with that.

[quote who="woca" reply="1" id="2272698"]i disagree here. priests will help your minions push through the enemy waves to towers, but at towers, they one shot pretty much everything, so it rerally doesn't help, especially if they have the first tower upgrade[/quote]Of course it helps. Creeps without priests do not help against toweres with the first health upgrade, but creeps with priests do. And you are there too.

Reply to Player drops, so keep AI but remove Gold/Exp from killing it: Idea by AnnihilatorX. in Demigod Demigod Forums

An AI giving less or no gold and experience at all to the enemy is not more of a "hack" than the AI getting gold and experience multipliers. Both address the fact, that the AI is inferior to a human player. I don't get at all why you consider this a dirty hack, considering we already have something like that in the game, as you pointed out yourself. And yes, I am a software engineer too.

Reply to Priests - A potential problem and why in Demigod Demigod Forums

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a Priest upgrade early to mid-game. As already pointed out, it's a strategic decision that helps to further push against the enemy. Sure, if the enemy has absolutely no Problem with holding you back, then it was simply a bad decision, but that doesn't mean that the upgrade needs fixing... it only means that your strategy needs "fixing". The only thing I can agree on, that the xp and gold benefit from killing a Priest is maybe to high, compared to

Reply to Fix the damn priest upgrade already sheesh in Demigod Demigod Forums

Of course you have to learn to use it, what's wrong with that? You have to do that with everything in the game, in any game for that matter... The only thing I could agree on here is the fact, that Priests give maybe too much xp and gold compared to a Catapultasauri for example. A slight reduction (40 XP instead of 50 as already suggested, for example) should be ok, but any balance attempt here has to be careful, otherwise the Priest upgrade is no strategic dec

[quote who="Sly_Squash" reply="22" id="2271995"] You may, but I don't need the reminder because I've already addressed this. If it's going to lag, it's probably going to lag at the start of the match and persist throughout. That means people quit (at the start of the match), which as I said means we can remake the game. Devs say in the next patch if people quit at the start (I believe first 5 minutes) of the game, the game will not be counted in their stats so this

[quote who="PurplePaladin" reply="12" id="2271915"]It's very counterintuative; you should want to buy most upgrades if you can, and they should help, not hurt. This needs some sort of fix for sure.[/quote] What? Not at all. Every upgrade you buy has the chance of hurting you, in the sense that it may be useless and still costs you a lot of money.

[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="7" id="2271832"]Getting creeps all at once (priests angels catapults) is really the only way. The priests give too much gold to get if you enemy has any kind of reliable aoe.[/quote] No, it's not the only way. As already pointed out it's very much possible to use priests early on effectively. Sure, it might be a dangerous decision sometimes, but that makes it only more exciting.
