Demigod is shite - I've abandoned this game for LoL / HoN. Good riddance. Please give me back my money Stardock! You made me wait too long for new content and now your refund policy doesn't allow me to get my money back. GARBAGE.
Demigod is crap. Both LoL and HoN are far better than it. I only post here because I saw this thread after I came to see if any new heroes had been released for Demigod. If Demigod had 20 more heroes then MAYBE it would be worth it. As it is now Demigod was a total waste of money. Me and all my friends regret buying Demigod. I asked for a refund but because I waited too long for new heroes to come out, they won't give me it.
I wouldn't immediatly assume this was done intentionally by the other player. As others have stated this game requires a lot of bandwidth. He could have genuinely been spiking and when those players dropped it was enough of a reduction in bandwidth to reduce the spikes. It happens all the time.
I got a new error I never saw before (A message box came up saying "Desync error.") I had to keep clicking "OK" on this box every 5 seconds to keep playing. This was after several people either lagged out or exitted the game. The lag didn't seem reduced significantly. Gameplay does seem more stable. And I think we're on the way to fixing gameplay issues! LOTS more to do guys! The gameplay fixes make this a good update.
Frogboy, Thank you so much for the update. I just want to quickly get a word in and respond to this point: 5. Finding ways to keep retail sales up. Sales are good now but let’s be real here, updates are fueled by new sales. If you guys have ideas on what it would take to get more of your friends to buy copies at retail and on Impulse let us know. In reality, I think your sales will be fueled by the updates. This game is part of a unique genre, so i
Exact same situation here. I came here to post... then saw yours. I created a ticket for this by e-mailing [email protected]. They had me run a system profiler and I sent them my information to help debug this. Perhaps you can do the same. I noticed it seems to happen when I'm clicking alot... I also took a look at the logs created by the tool stardock sent and saw some really weird stuff. My guess is this crash happens when you send too many UI actions at once and it can't buffer
Rook is not the be-all end-all on crucible. The key is to take flags, grow your war strength and purchase cit upgrades. Destroy buildings when you can. Get whatever gold you can by killing heroes and avoid getting killed. It is practically the same strategy you would use on any map. (On crucible try to use the area off to the side with the artifact flag to flank your enemies and get kills.)
Please fix: in-game crashes, shut-downs with no error message. unhandled exceptions... dual monitor issues.
I agree that comebacks are possible. I also agree that there should be more things in the game to make comebacks easier. This gives the game more appeal - makes it more fun for losing players - and its a huge part of other action rts rpg style games :)
I've never lost because I upgraded creeps... maybe I just haven't gotten into that situation. Lately I started playing on War Score -> Low. Tower Strength -> High and Grunt Strength -> High and it makes for a much more enjoyable game! (Well, War Score -> Low is a bit too fast of a game.. but still fun)
Does anyone of that make sense to anyone? I like the pic though.

Missed one!
I agree with every single one of the things the original poster said. I also come from DotA to demigod. I would like to point out I am in no way biased towards Dota. I love Demigod as well now. I almost exclusively play Demigod. I am very happy with it. I'm just greedy and always want more. But... I have friends who still play Dota and have not been converted. I also have friends who play dota who I got to buy Demigod, who are not happy with it - and returned to playing Dota. I hope the Demig
Game definitly needs a kick - and NO AI in their place!!!
I think Demigod chose a to have items which don't require recipes to avoid people needing to memorize recipes (perhaps with the idea of making it easier to jump into a game with less experience.) However, Demigod turns out to be a game that is very hard to play with no experience. I think in the end the question is what is more fun? Recipes are fun!
More demigods! Frogboy, could we get some comment from Gas Powered Games on any plan to add new Demigods? Would extra Demigods cost money? How often will new Demigods be released? So many questions!
I agree with what the original poster states. In addition, I think Demigod needs more Demigods. 8 is much too few. And Demigod needs to add the stealth mechanic. However, I feel in many ways Demigod is a more demanding game than Dota and this isn't a bad thing. I've had many games that went on for a long time with some really nice comebacks so I know the longer games are definitly possible in Demigod it just requries a certain amoutn of skill and team composition. Theres aspec
This update sounds amazing! Go Gas Powered Games! I especially love the part about the 35% latency reduction, maybe ill actually be able to get in something higher than a 3v3... thanks again!
Great ideas... I highly support everything stated.
Ya I noticed the same thing... sometime around yesterdays patch I noticed I sometimes started gaining favor in custom games, but other times I don't. Has anyone figured out how to increase your chances of actually getting the favor points you are promised?
If you click on Demigod in Impulse and right-click "View History" you'll see the log of changes there... I had the same question and was glad I noticed this feature. Here is what the history file states: Demigod - May 18th update -------------------------------- Skirmish and Pantheon join game tweaks. (thats it)
Are you guys gonna fix the remaining bugs in the next patch? The sad part is the biggest problem in this game for me is the multiplayer code in game. And I know you don't have full control in terms of the MP engine.. but the way the MP engine behaves sometimes is very strange.. i.e. Alt-tabbing causes lag to other players in game. If you click repeatedly issuing the same move command you lag the game, stuff like that.. I only began noticing it recently but its sure signs of a game not optimiz
My favor points are stuck since last patch. I do not gain any favor points after matches. Does anyone else have this problem? Can someone please help me to fix? Thanks.
I think it would be cool if there was a scriptable interface for creating custom demigods. People could submit their demigods for approval to be included in the actual game. Creation of the demigods would require 3d modeling, texturing, graphics and programming skills so not everyone would do it... but it would open it up to the community for development.
