Reply to Erebus "Mist" ability - working as intended? in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="VyperXXX" reply="13" id="2211408"]Try upgrading your creeps armor. Mist is just a fluff skill. It will not kill upgraded creeps by itself. At best it is an evasion skill that is useful for dodging a killing blow or shrugging off a spit, at worst it's a slow creep killer. Yes, "perma" mist is atainable, and very easily, however, your argument that Erebus can simply bite more to make up for lack of health and armor is a bit naive. Furthermore, insinuating that mist may or

[quote who="sjwho2" reply="8" id="2211366"]well eternal i urge you to try it in actual pvp. then report back.[/quote] Like I said, I saw it in real-time pvp. It worked. There's nothing theoretical about this. Furthermore, the mana regen rates I'm talking about are easy to reproduce and demonstrate. Again, there's nothing subjective or theoretical about it. There's just nothing to debate on whether permanent mist is possible or not or whether it's too prohibitively expe

Reply to Socialism Vs Capitalism in Everything Else Demigod Forums

Capitalism in the U.S. needs 2 things: 1.) better and stronger regulation. 2.) raise the highest marginal tax rate to about 45% to 50%. If we did those two things we'd solve a lot of our problems and pay off our national debt. Universal Single Payer Health care or Universal Health Coverage (hybrid of private and public) is not Socialism. However, a higher and more apropriate top marginal tax rate would easily pay for it as well as make our country more competit

In order to kill a person you usually have to have decent armour, and he also has to spend stuff on his other minions.(killing=gold btw) you tested it out starting with 25k but have you played a game with Erubus and actually tried it???

[quote who="sjwho2" reply="1" id="2211323"]well you make a very good point. but the odds of one guy actually having enough money and buying that stuff and being lvl 20 are like .1% per game. the easiest way would be to cut mana regen in mist, or even just to cut the total mana regen rate.

Erebus "Mist" ability - working as intended? in Demigod Demigod Forums

This is another one for the "game balance" and "game design" department and it is in regards to the skill mist. First off, it's a very interesting skill. I like it. I don't want it nerfed or anything like that unless absolutely necessary. However, I encountered the use of it in a game last night on the map Exile that was nearly gamebreaking. First the scenario: It was a 4v4 on exile. It was a 46 minute long match (give or take) that was fairly tight up until the last 5

I can understand the networking issues, what I can't understand is the lack of an option to resign. in Demigod Demigod Forums

Love the game, have since launch. Like I said in the title, I can understand the unforseen networking issues. Perhaps a big open MP beta should have been done first but I don't mind the chance to play to test. I would have bought the game either way. However, what I don't get is the lack of the option to "resign" from a game and a reasonable set of consequences that follow a resignation. For instance in WC3, you can resign and then see the scoreboard at that time of your leaving and s

[quote who="FRANK3NB3RRY" reply="4" id="2203795"]Well that's educational. Thinking I should get more armor after being pounced for 1/3rd my health as TB is the wrong thing to do then I think my real folly was letting Sedna get that close to begin with.

"Goes to show if enough people complain about something it will get changed...." Yeah...about that. I've got to say I love this logic circuit as it is what I always here when someone's beloved class gets nerfed. Basically the inference is this: 1.) For some "mysterious" reason people complain about class "such and such" being overpowered for unsubstantiated reason (cry more noobz) 2.) This cacophany of the P

Nice post CKorth, I agree that I'm not calling for a straight Bite nerf. Perhaps mist is the angle to go. There just needs to be something where you can put the nail in his coffin. Every other hero has this.

[quote who="NeoVain" reply="1" id="2199129"] As you wish, his weakness is his low dmg output, he doesnt have any real damage dealers, bite is his only burst dmg skill and it does so-so dmg, and can only damage units, not buildings. He is crap against all buildings, and will loose to DGS that can outburst his mdg.. He has great survivability, sure, and this is his strength(not as great as sedna, but close), as well as his varied and versatile moveset. [/quote]

Erebus balance discussion in Demigod Demigod Forums

I hate to complain and whine but I've got this nagging feeling there's something not right with Erebus. As a disclaimer, I will state that I've played Rook, then Regulus, then Oak almost exclusively and my perspective is biased from the view of using those three heroes. However, I'm also taking into account various team-mates using various DG's vs. Erebus. I don't play Erebus and I don't wish to (although I may start just to learn how he works). As an archetype, he just doesn't appeal

Oak Penitance Bug in Demigod Demigod Forums

There seems to be a bug on 0.0113 beta where I cannot cast penitance on my opponent correctly. This is a reproducible bug that occurs when I am "running away" from my opponent. Scenario: It occurs when I am engaged with my opponent and things are not going my way so I decide to retreat toward my towers/heal crystal. As I'm running my opponent gives chase because I'm not in a favorable health status and my shield is on cooldown. The bug occurs as I try to "cast Penitance" on my pursuer

Reply to Erebus, how do you defeat him? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

[quote who="TheGuildfordStrangler" reply="15" id="2198530"] You are aware that Erebus lacks the ability to actually win any games, as he can't really kill a citadel(weak attacks, and squishy nature, as well as having no skills to actually hurt it with, mean that his anti-citadel abilities are pitiful at best). Erebus needs allies if he wants to win. Sure, he's probably overpowered if you look solely at anti-demigod combat, but that's not what it's about. Erebus doesn't win games, h

Reply to From machine gun to nerf gun. Nerf thread on a DG by DG basis. in Demigod Demigod Forums

Erebus: my sense that he is either vastly overpowered for all the reasons you state or there is some as of yet undiscovered counter to him (that apparenlty no one knows). In short, he is cheese and throws the game way off. Unclean Beast: I think spit is too strong early on especially and into the midgame. 2 spits early on will force any DG that doesn't have healing away from the battleground back to the crystal. It shouldn't be that way. Rook: Sometimes tower spamming is annoy
