[quote who="Dead Ghost" reply="9" id="2148763"] If they choose to sit near the crystal, they will lose by citadel destruction. If they come to defeat the citadel, they're out of the range of the crystial, so you and your team should kill them and then, when they are dead, destroy their citadel.[/quote] That's not true. In Crucible at least, it's very easy to run to the citadel to defend it, then quickly run back to the crystal to get recharged. The crystal is lo

[quote who="razattack1337" reply="12" id="2148708"] Quoting scyldSCHEFING, reply 6 There is no point camping at your base at the crystal making a 15 minute game last 45. If this is possible, then the flaw is either with the game design or your inability to come up with a strategy to clinch the game in your favor, not with the players that are camping. As long as the Citadel is up, and the players on the defensive are able to rack up kills, it could be<

I forgot to mention that this was on Crucible, a map with inherent design flaws in the placement of the base structures. Also, I didn't realize that attacking a Citadel in Slaughter damages your own DG. That makes little sense. Finally, waiting things out is possible, but again, when the momentum is

Reply to 2 points about Demigod that really need to be reconsidered(please review and share your thoughts) in Demigod Demigod Forums

I am not a twitchty player... so I like the slow speed. It means I stand a fighting chance [e digicons]X|[/e] (The only exception is 2D platformers, where I do have good reaction times... I'm not sure why that's case...) Also, I am always amused to see that people claim that "skill" in a video game must neccesarily mean "reaction time." So unless DG is a twitchfest, there can be no skill involved in playing the game? As to the map design, I do agree a bit. I would have liked

Reply to Drop Item on death in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

So... I die once in a game, and just happen to lose my Ring of the Allfather rather than the cheap gauntlets I haven't bothered replacing since I was level 5? No, this is a poor idea in a game where death is suppose to be a relatively common occurence, especially between two well-matched teams, and the items are expensive and considered part of the character's advancement. At most make it an option, but I can't see it being popular enough to implement at all.

Check how many downloads this game has on the popular filesharing servers and add them together. The number doesn't even come close, and you expect me to believe they all logged on simultaneously? Its much more believable that there were about 5,000 uses pinging the servers multiple times due to the rediculous way the game makes requests ALL THE TIME, e.g. when you leave th

[quote who="DalzK" reply="1" id="2146533"]I have never had this problem. If they are camping at crytsals then you have to updrade your reinforcements to giants. Since you should be way ahead. Also try and upgrade their health/armour. The citadel should be down in no time (maybe 5-10 minutes if your slow). Also, try to capture lock their portals which can hurt them quite a bit.[/quote] We did have giants, though we may not have had them upgraded sufficiently. We were not able t

My partner and I were mowing down the other team, and we destroyed all of thier defenses, clear up to their citadel. Of course, the opposition then just simply turtled at their crystal. During this time, they gained 5 kills, simply because it was impossible to kill them. The game ended an hour later, when I was kicked out by the network. In fact, if any team is losing by a large margin in any Slaughter-mode game and they simply do not want the opposition to wi

Reply to Gamespot Reviews in Demigod Demigod Forums

I am extremely disappointed in the undeservedly low score that DG recieved from Gamespot. I was expressing my doubts throughout Beta about the final game, but in the end I think it was a smashing success. Here's the thing that other people have expressed before me: yes, for the time being, perhaps DG deserves a low score. But this score is permanent , and the article delivers rather glowing praise for the actual game itself. The rewards blurbs on the side panel are also unfair
