Reply to Currency Rank 1 = awesome! Other upgrades.....not so much in Demigod Demigod Forums

And also why aren't upgrade costs scaled to the number of people in the game? Currency upgrade or exp or death penalty for 2 people should not cost the same as for 5!

[quote]Currency 2 is always worth it in a 4v4, and 3 is usually worth it too. A match between good players will easily last 40 minutes to an hour.[/quote] In a 4v4 you need 6.25 minutes just to recoup costs and that's after you get the upgrade which is only at war rank 5. It's adding a benefit, but not that much. Your do nothing gold would only be ticking 25% higher than the opponent's, and that's assuming there are no gold mines on the map (there always are). It's

Currency Rank 1 = awesome! Other upgrades.....not so much in Demigod Demigod Forums

Currency rank 1 doubles the "do nothing" gold income that you get (it's a base of 4, currency 1 adds 4 more). This is such a massive boost that someone must immediately get currency as soon as you reach War Rank 3. It pays for itself for the person who bought it in 7.5 minutes. To everyone else it's free gold and massively adds up through the rest of the match. Currency Rank 2 and 3 on the other hand are utterly worthless. Rank 2 only increases your income by

[quote]you've got it backwards regarding early deaths. a single early game death doesn't matter much. its exceptionally easy to recover from 1 or 2 deaths before level 5.[/quote] No, it's the opposite. Early deaths are the worst because the enemies haven't filled their inventories yet. Now they get the cheap and extremely effective items like Nimoth and Hauberk and Vlemish and Boots of Speed and Priest minions and the middle left boots that boost HP. Now their h

[quote]Now, I choose to not sell that person short. Hopefully they will learn and maybe even become a favorable player. Knocking their purse empty upon death just sounds like adding insult to injury and may even spawn a fresh RQ'r.[/quote] But it's their own fault - they *should* be punished for screwing up. Additionally if they do leave, the feeder AI would benefit greatly from this change - it won't feed the enemy the win either, it will only hurt itself.

[quote]I'm not sure I am sold on this idea yet. It's appealing in that the other team isn't beating on a gold pinata but at the same time a teammate continually dying and at worst having no gold all of the time is pretty abysmal. At least now that member could buy something instead of nothing or having to hang out at the citadel waiting to collect enough for a upgrade, which is almost as bad as an AFKer.[/quote] They would have to be more cautious, but they should be anyways.

[quote]I'm not sure that would help. People would just spend all their gold and then go out with little risk, since they have no gold to lose[/quote] Except then they're only limited to small purchases. Which I don't think is entirely wrong either. Saving up for a big item is then a risk.

Reply to Radical different perspective of a possible solution to rage quitting in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think there's a better solution and I posted it before - people who die should not give much gold but should instead lose gold....like Dota. Before you roll your eyes let me explain that there is a large benefit here - the person who dies is penalized, but the enemies do not make significant gains (like they do when they get a kill with assists now - that's a crazy amount of gold!). As such the enemy's relative strength will increase compared to the person who died and lost gold

When you're heavily downloading (actually it's when you're heavily uploading that affects things) from bittorrent it does affect your ping though - you will see it shoot up. I know....from experience....

Sim speed is the crucial missing factor, because it makes the game lag just as much as people who are actually lagging due to connection problems.

[quote]The thing is, when you start the game, you have ~1000 gold and most of the time you just buy something with it immediately. And when the first kills are made, at the beginning of the match, that killed DG has almost no gold on him, so there is no gold penalty for him. And most the time, the games are decided in the beginning, when some DGs die a lot (3-5 times).[/quote] You underestimate the gold you get by doing nothing. By the time you get to the middle and start fighti

[quote]I appreciate your input, but I have to disagree here. The lobby for Pantheon/Skirmish (aka ladder ) games defeats the purpose. You are playing in the ladder, the system must be able to match you appropriately. Otherwise, picking and choosing your opponents makes for a pretty worthless ranking system. In order for Pantheon/Skirmish to work, stats must track correctly. And the match making system needs to be improved

[quote]You get the same effect from rejuv potions as you do from the HoL. The gold for 1 HoL is almost 10 large rejuv potions, just to put that in perspective. How many times are you really using your HoL during a match?

Also did you notice it has some pretty hefty regen stats on the item itself
