Reply to Exile: The Worst Map in Demigod Demigod Forums

The last time I played exile, the enemy team was winning and pushed us all the way back to our base(largely because I tried to pass our reg a mageslayer but his inventory was full so the game just deleted the mageslayer when he tried to grab it). They bought giants, it won the game for us because we just farmed at the choke for 20 minutes until we had the artifact and level advantage. By the end of the game, nearly everyone on my team was decked out with 2-3 artifacts in the 16-25

Reply to Free mana: is it an exploit? in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote] I consider exploiting cheating/taking advantage of broken game mechanics.[/quote] How is getting 1000-1500 mana for as fast as you can click 4 times(technically achievable with two clicks and two hotkeys) not a broken game mechanic? Particularly when the game is designed for you to spend gold to achieve this effect(potions).

Reply to Free mana: is it an exploit? in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote] This is present for many things - the 15% health and mana flags are a good example.[/quote] It's alright with the flags because you aren't necessarily going to obtain them next to your health crystal(a teammate would have to when you're near your crystal) so for the bonus to take effect you'd need to retreat again(and probably lose the flag). The only reason it's needed for items is if you buy a health or mana artifact, you probably have to go back and heal.&nbsp

Damn that's a good one. That's definitely gamebreaking enough to consider it an exploit, especially if you can do it with health too.

Reply to Some thoughts on the Priest upgrade in Demigod Demigod Forums

The trouble with early priests is that they cost as much as a medium level item and have the benefit of essentially one combat potion per wave of priests that you support. This might be alright for the cost, but they're also feeding your opponents a ton of gold and XP for every wave they intercept or nuke with heaven's wrath. They're only really worth it as a transition to catas or giants. [quote] Heck, I've won and lost more than a few games where one team went *gian

Reply to Please nerf Orb of Defiance + Heart of Life combo in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

8K gold. Takes up two of three activatible item slots. Doesn't work against archer rook or near an archer tower. Doesn't work reliably in the vicinity of a creep wave, more than one demigod, or standard towers. It's situational at best and for the amount of gold they spend on it, you could have an artifact instead.

Reply to Rage Quits and v1.1 of Demigod talk in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

[quote who="Cyrenic" reply="5" id="2240917"]Brad, Would it be possible to seperate disconnects and manual quits? My internet connetion isn't the best, and while I complete the majority of my games, my (legitimate) disconnects will probably add up. I'd rather people decide if they want to risk someone with a moderate connection instead of just assuming I'm a rage quitter. I don't leave games early, no matter how poorly they are going, and it would

[quote]When you agree with me, that Rage Quitting is a bad practice despite the absent of the moral argument, your argument is complete and we've come full circle as it is now on par with the general community consensus that Rage Quitting is a bad practice.

The most I've argued(in another thread) is that they're a negligible problem for the community(I don't view it as a problem at

My argument is about it being morally neutral, not the effect it has on the community.&n

I'll take good over acceptable when I can, but it doesn't mean I have a problem with acceptable. [quote] Bing

[quote]Your counter argument is "there is no morality." That's not a counter. If you think that ragequitting is somehow ok then you'd "better be fucking prepared" to say why. Ironically you instead tried to take the moral high ground.[/quote] My counter argument is that there is no absolute morality. Everyone has their own views on morality, you just can't reasonably apply your own to other people. Many people, including myself, simply do not see leaving

[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="14" id="2236504"] Common sense.[/quote] Common sense changes with time and is usually anything but sensible. How can it possibly be absolute? You're just extrapolating your own feelings to the majority and pretending that it's sensible because everyone agrees on it. The truly funny part is both assumptions are totally fallacious.
