[quote]lol. sorry but ive gone afk in game a couple times, stuff happens irl cant help it. reason why I dont quit is because I hope I can get back in time so we can still win. I figure afk 4minutes and coming back is better than having an AI which just ruins the game imo.[/quote] But you SAID SOMETHING before you did it, right? (The non-ass way of doing things?

[quote]So you guys are gonna discriminate against people who can't afford better hardware?... sounds like a great idea.[/quote] It's for the good of everyone. People who can't run the game well drag everyone down due to the way the game was designed. (A flaw imo, but what can you do) You'd discriminate against something popping a 2000 ping all the time because they'd lag you. Low sim speed people do the exact same thing.

If he's holding the "gold flag" all game then the other team is holding the other 2 flags all game. Goodbye war score. Or he's not leveling.

Meaningless. People can simuljoin and hope to get matched with buddies, and quit before the game starts if they don't get matched with the people they want. Not to mention win/loss stats themselves are FUBAR. Since you can't trust them, you can't trust pantheon stats either.

That's fine. Just not gg, because it certainly was not.

[quote]No, he didn't, because he wasn't trying to use that word. "Spelt" is the past tense of "spell" and an alternate way to say "spelled." It's a real word. Before you correct the spelling of others you should expand your own vocabulary.[/quote] While in this case it was coincidentally true, praising si1foo's spelling is an exercise for the insane.

I like Prison and hate Cataract but to everyone else it's the other way around. I do admit Prison is massively flawed in that it's all about movespeed and there's no fleeing to the towers. Same with Exile though, which I actually do hate. (Healing crystals in the middle = wtf) Crucible is cool if you have lots of players, which seems contrary to its existence. I've decided I like Leviathan despite the far side lanes being utterly useless.

Reply to Unclean Beast - Late Game Balance in Demigod Demigod Forums

The reason UB is so powerful late game is that he has the most scaling abilities. Seriously, nearly everything he has increases something by a PERCENT, and that's important. Increased attack and move speed percents, a debuff that reduces movespeed by a percent, Ooze does serious % debuffs too for a FIXED cost. He has a self buff that increases his physical attack by a percent (what other hero has this? None of them, Oak and Rook for example get static attack boosts).

Blah blah blah, there are no absolutes! Yes there are. In this case, it's wrong to bail on your team. You might have a reason for it. Ok, but it's still WRONG to do so without getting the consent of the others you're damaging by your actions. [quote]I see everything as morally neutral.[/quote] How nice for you. Doing whatever you want with no regard for others because morality doesn't exist. I guess it makes living easy.

In single player you are simply running the game. Online you are running the game and also doing all the connectivity work (sync and data transfer) as well. Obviously that's more processor intensive.
