[quote]But that complaining was the reason it got nerfed. The same thing is happening to HoL. I'm not saying that they are or aren't balanced, I'm saying the only reason they're seeing nerfs is because people spoke out against those alleged imbalances.[/quote] You don't know that. You don't know that GPG's internal balancing testing or them observing the statistics didn't uncover these imbalances and they slated to fix them long before the complaining. You don't know if th

Reply to Armor? Whats the point...? in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote]infinite, you're misinterpreting. i'm talking about the percentage improvement in your performance. adding 1000 points of armor always gives a 26.5% reduction in incoming damage, whether you have 1000 or 10000 hp. adding 1000 hp to a 1000 hp character results in a 100% boost, but the 10000 hp character only gets a 10% boost. it's a matter of scaling. at a certain point an armor point will do you more good than a hitpoint.[/quote] I know what you're saying and you're right,

[quote]The only reason it happened, unbalanced or not, is because people complained about it so much[/quote] If you say so. It may be correlated but you can't prove cause and effect. Maybe it *was* actually imbalanced and people complaining was a result of that, not the other way around?

[quote]You're setting up a false dichotomy Infinite. Health and Armor complement eachother and most armor items add to health too.[/quote] There are several items that boost one or the other - the problem is those items suck not because of the fact that they only provide armor or health but there's usually minion items too or have crap effects that make them over priced.

I'm sure if you did a poll about what was the most imbalanced thing you'd get some pretty dumb results too. Does that mean you should listen to the majority?

[quote]You'd be surprised just how much armor can help you. Would you rather be taking 300 consitant damage mid-game or 150? 150 damage you can shrug off usually, but 300 you can't.[/quote] For that much mitigation you could easily double your health or more. Now he's still hitting for 300, and you still take full damage from spit, but your survivability is longer. Health wins again.

Good for you. If I could fraps it happening I would. You'll just have to take my word for it. It's happened to me on Prison when I have a Swift Anklet, as then you can keep up with people and they stay in the attack multiplier range for longer.

Reply to Armor? Whats the point...? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I know what you're talking about. The way armor scales it seems like it would make sense to get a balance of health and armor, but so many things in this game simply ignore armor. Until late game (and still only for certain heroes) a majority of the damage you take is going to come from abilities which can't be mitigated at all. Therefore stacking health is both the obvious and the only choice. In Dota certain heroes had "physical" abilities that were effected by arm

[quote]I agree, auto-attack has lots of bugs, that's why i click almost non-stop to attack, just to make sure my DG does what i want[/quote] I think doing this triggers something similar to the "Missed Attack" bug and resets your autoattack timer every time you click. I click until I'm sure I'm attacking the target I want and then just let it go. Once you're autoattacking what you want it never seems to break the lock unless something happens like a stun or interrup

What are you doing the most every game? That's right, autoattacking. I decided to do little write ups for the features, cons, and bugs that are part of everyone's favorite action. I describe the bugs at the bottom of the post. Torchbearer Ice: Torchbearer in Ice mode shoots a icy ball as his autoattack. It's simple, accurate, and doesn't seem to suffer from any particular issues. It deals damage when the ball hits. Torchbearer can attack while movin

Crazy comebacks in Cataract are possible because you can steal the side portals and lock them then crank out the creeps. I've won games where I had others on my team 0-10 and the enemies all 2+ levels higher. Other stages - not so much. Exile, Prison, or Crucible - never.

In backgammon you don't put your hands over your side of the board and hide it. There's plenty of games where all players can see everything, and many where they cannot.

I am completely for it. It worked in Dota - that much is proven. People still bluffed in Dota, it just wasn't done in the same matter as Demigod (why is he leading me towards the woods when I could kill him there? Is there an ambush? I don't see all the heroes on the minimap, oh crap!) Regardless I don't see it as hurting Demigod, only helping it. What would you do differently RIGHT NOW if you could suddenly see you opponent's inventory. For most as
