[quote]Now, where Stardock and GPG are obviously different is that GPG is far more professional than us. They’re true pros and so tend to keep their cards closer to the vest.

Death penalty citadel upgrade needs an ultimate... in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Death penalty citadel upgrade = total waste of gold. That's terrible. The final spot on death penalty should allow dead players to spawn anywhere they want. While they're dead they can ghost around and choose their spot. OR... from the very first rank, players can choose their spawn point but it has to be within 15 meters of the health crystal. Further ranks would increase the spawn range. OR... in addition to reducing respawn time, these upgrades wou

[quote]Having team portraits would also be useful. Kinda sucks trying to select a teammate for an action in the chaos sometimes (often). Customizable size so as to not take up much of the view would be good. And freaking name plates in the actual game world ("oh wait, haha, so many mobs I didn't see that enemy demigod there!"). There are a lot of little niceties that should be here, and I hope they take a bit of time to get them added in [/quote] Extra karma for excellen

Reply to Combacks in Demigod? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Comebacks are rare. The most reliable comeback is ninjaing enemy portals when you've got giants. I'm pretty comfortable with the way it is. You're only in a position where you can't come back if you've been sucking. If I've been beating you for 15 minutes, I deserve the win. It should be rare that you've played terrible for 15 minutes and then manage to get the win anyways.

[quote]Yes I did and I replied with an anecdotal example, where one team was a locking and always fighting on the middle flag in Cataract. I was making the point that they spent so long fannying around with it, that they were not wailing on creeps in a lane, the creeps were dieing mostly to the towers. Therefore it was a waste of their time and gold.[/quote] Bonus points for using fanny as a noun.

[quote]Flag - 250GP Spawns it guarantees - 1.5 XP per lane @ War Rank 1 = 33 XP XP per lane @ War Rank 2+ = 46.2 XP 250 GP to guarantee that much XP over 45 secs is most probably not the most efficient use of that money, especially if you are at level 5 plus. Now locks on portals/gold mines are different, but locking the XP flag or similar is most probably not an efficient use of money. Locking a lane flag is also

[quote]If I see someone using a lot of potions, then I am happy, it means that I can force them down on health till they have to use the item, then I just back off (I am 275 GP/ 400 GP better off). I think they are only useful as a full time strategy with inexperienced players who tend to go for the straight up fist fight and don't back down. A better player will always be manouvering around and watching what their opponent is doing. That said they do have their place,

[quote]Sometimes consumables are necessary toward getting better gear. Never underestimate the power of a quick heal; it can prevent your death and cause an enemy's death at the same time. Anyways, I think we've all beaten this poor horse to death, eh?[/quote] Maybe so. I look at it this way: Potions provide a one-time high impact benefit in the early-mid game. Persistent items provide a repeatible moderate impact in the early-mid game. It's analagous to sprint

Banded Armor gives you 72 health per 100 gold spent. The next most efficient item is Unbreakable Boots at 40 health per 100 gold spent. Buy the Banded Armor, use it early game.

Pffft. Potions are inefficient, only useful if you're able to trick an opponent into overextending. In other words, only useful against noobs. Better off investing in items that will give you a long return, like Scalemail or Banded Armor.

[quote]Quoting kajexdraw, reply 9 @Zechnophobe: For your Reg&Erebus suggestion: Surely ANY two demigods working together can take down 1 other demigod? I would have thought that being to take down two or MORE DGs makes a good pair. His point is that Erebus can quickly rush in to help Regulus in a 1v1 situation as opposed to other DG who aren't as mobile. The slow on bite and stun on mass charm means that it will be extremely hard for the other DG to escape, which is s

Well. Gotta say, this has been very interesting. I was ready to abandon my position, clad in a cloak of shame. But the internets, ever vigilant for the travails of the weak and just, have exonerated me. Is 32% the right number? Of course. What about 15%? Is that relevant? Highly relevant. I stand before you, chastened for my overly zealous defense of the number 15 but exalted for that same defense. Shadow_Avenger, standing
