Reply to REALLY - IS THERE ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T GO WRONG IN THIS GAME???? in Demigod Connectivity Help Demigod Forums

[quote quoting="post"]with all serousness - i bought this game since it really had some potential. it looks great and there is great depth in its strategy. unfortunately there are ENDLESS flaws in its connectivity: pings, lags, disconnections, hangs, and what not... i really tried to fix it with the help that you gave here in the forum. i did everything you proposed, and i did manage to get one decent game with good connection. sin

[quote who="Remiel" reply="13" id="2285128"]I really, really wish they had stuck to host/client style networking. At least people can deal with their issues on their own and let the game move at a respectable speed for the majority.[/quote] As has already been stated on the forums, nearly all RTS games use the P2P model with obviously slightly different network structures. Yes, even Warcraft 3. It's hardly the 'crux' of the game. What country are you from? How do you believ

Maxxy described it perfectly - it happens to me sometimes, it's taken a lot longer than 4 minutes in some cases. It's not really an issue as it is an annoyance.

Reply to new Mechwarrior game? in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of the MechWarrior games - I hated the Xbox versions which didn't quite understand why MechWarrior was awesome - however I'd love to see another one. I still remember MechWarrior 2 blowing my mind.

[quote who="TheScottishAlien" reply="8" id="2291938"]... the model would have to be animated but the engine should be able to handle that since some of the maps already have animations (like water). the collision on the other hand is handles by a seperate script so the script needs to be set you can't move too? no?)[/quote] Well, this isn't really the same as an animated model. The levels themselves are models created in 3DSM, and I'm not sure the Engine used supports complete a

Personally, I'm happy to wait. I'd rather polished and balanced Demigod added to a stable game, then horribly balanced Demigods added to an unstable game.

Reply to The state of the game. in Demigod Demigod Forums

edit: Quote tags aren't working again. we're 3 months in, and while demigod is tons of fun to play, it's still essentially broken. Custom games work good (though in my experience getting a 5v5 can still be difficult), yet patheon and skirmish while perhaps not 'broken', certainly aren't working completely, the ladder is totally bogus, achievements just barely started working (or are they?) favor points were broken until yesterday. I agree with you that these ite

Reply to BatSwarm on Crucible map - Exploit, Bug, or acceptible Tactic? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I wasn't comparing the two abilities - their purposes are entirely different. I was merely offering a counter-point to the poor argument that Bat Swarm is an exploit.

Reply to BatSwarm on Crucible map - Exploit, Bug, or acceptible Tactic? in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="ItchyDustbin" reply="25" id="2291762"]...whereas bat swam allows you to cover much more distance faster than usual on Crucible...[/quote] So, the issue you have is that this only applies on a single map where as other abilities apply equally across all maps? Sounds like Bat Swarm needs a Range increase to allow it's use to be more consistant.

Reply to New Map Idea: Clock Tower (with pics) in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I have to agree; it's a bloody crazy idea and would create some very interesting battles where using the map itself as part of your strat would be vital. However, I'm not even sure this is possible within the engine. Amazing idea, as always.

[quote who="SoFFacet" reply="19" id="2290902"]The ability to teleport is indeed an Erebus "perk," but imo was designed to be a combat tool allowing him to quickly chase and retreat, covering an amount of ground instantaneously that would normally take a couple seconds. The problem with the Crucible teleports, however, is that they cover an amount of ground that would normally take 20+ seconds to traverse (not to mention the danger of the normal path, or the fact that after the teleport you ar

Reply to bad/funny teamate strats you've been stuck with? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I played a game on Cruicible a while back. I was Rook, and my team mates were another Rook and a Reg. I figured this was going to be an easy as pie match, however our Reg sat at the Health Crystal, waiting for the enemy to be a Snipe away from Death and then kill steal with Snipe. Now, this would be an acceptable tactic if he had of filled us in on what was going on - and if it was needed. None of the enemies were stacking speed and our towers were just destroying everything - if he wasn

bad idea: asking the person behind you in line what code you should use.

Reply to BatSwarm on Crucible map - Exploit, Bug, or acceptible Tactic? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Acceptable tactic as far as I'm concerned - it's a perk of playing the character who has the ability to Teleport, much like it's a perk to have a heal spell when playing Sedna.

Reply to CIV IV , is it worth it? in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

I find Civ 4 to be, by far, the best Civilization game yet. I don't have any of the expansion packs, I'm eventually going to get the boxed set they were putting together, however it's a blast to play. It's slightly more simplified than Civ 3, however it's by no means dumbed down; just streamlined. I highly recommend it if you've enjoyed any of the previous Civilization games.

[quote who="Salamankero" reply="14" id="2288461"]This tells me that most people are not playing against the AI.[/quote] I don't want to be rude, however this is a multiplayer centric title. While the offline component is there and will receive attention eventually, I think the issues with the online component have rightly been given the higher priority. I'd recommend making a new thread detailing your exact issue for the developers to address.

Reply to Most important changes that need to be made to Demigod in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think we can all agree if there is a single change that needs to be made, it's the addition of a Frog Demigod that resembles Mario in Super Mario Bros. 3 when wearing the Frog suit with the face of Brad Wardell. Dialogue should be comprised of one liners like "It isn't easy being green" and, of course, "Who let the Frogs out?".

Reply to What's with all the DLC in games these days? in Everything Else Demigod Forums

Well, my post and several of the ones above it had very little to do with the Horse Armour DLC that was released by Bethesda for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. That was a piece of useless DLC. What we're talking about is companies striping down their titles on purpose or withholding certain complete features to give them something to release as DLC very, very soon after release while still charging full price for the original package. With this practice, retail packages are hurt by DLC,
