The best way to get an exploit fixed is to spread the word about it. That way many people will be using it and if the devs were blowing off fixing it they sure as hell can't now.

[quote]And that's it. Bluffing. When you can drive someone stronger out of a lane because they don't know exactly what you have or how much mana you have. That fundamentally changes the game.

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

This is present for many things - the 15% health and mana flags are a good example. Gaining the flags instantly adds the chunk you gained to your max and current and losing control of the flags subtracts that amount - which is awful is you're fighting and then you suddenly take a huge chunk of damage simply because you lost the flag! I don't agree with things that change your hp/mana pool affecting the current amount. This exploit is just one consequence of that.

You can see the death timer - why not a lock timer. Seriously, if the death timer wasn't in the game would people be arguing AGAINST it? "You shouldn't know when I'm going to revive!" Come on people. Mental gymnastics are not a desired gameplay mechanic.
