Reply to No LAN for Starcraft 2 in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

[quote]It's not as a dramatic a reason as "preventing piracy" but I still say the reason you're going to be forced to use Battle.net for any multiplayer is due primarily to the in-game advertising deal. That's where the money is at, not piracy prevention (hahahaha).[/quote]It's probably both. Honestly though I'm not sure it's a bad thing. There's been a number of ad-sponsored games in Asia and Blizz had initially considered launching WoW as one of them but decided a

In addition to this, ubs "Aclclimation" (all about 500 dealt dmg to ub reduces dmg for 5 secounds bout 40%) Makes it rly impossible to kill him with burst attacks TB is depending on.

Reply to No LAN for Starcraft 2 in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

When I was in the Air Force I was stuck living in a dorm type setting with no broadband. My friend would bring over his computer so we could play Warcraft 3 together... online and we had zero bandwidth or ping issues. We even ran THREE people off a single 56k connection and it worked fine. I think people are dramatically overestimating the type of connection needed for an RTS. I love DG and all, and no offense to SD or GPG, but b.net blows any multiplayer funct

Reply to Ranking Request: Remove AI from Skirmish and Pantheon in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

Well bear in mind the game isn't saved the first three minutes so you can just quit if you do get stuck with AIs without consequence. Doesn't really address the idea behind your complaint, but it does mitigate the effects of the current implimentation a bit.

Reply to [Balancing] HP Items should be nerfed in Demigod Demigod Forums

Again, damage items don't scale at the same rate as HP items because HP items have to outscale multiple opponents, whether it's an ambush from multiple demigods or just a single demigod who's got increasing reinforcement support. As things like giants and catapults hit the field or even priests in some cases total damage taken is increasing greater than just the items of the attacking demigods.

Reply to ABORTED! in Demigod Demigod Forums

It tends to happen for me in crowded places in general, so you're on to something with proximity to something having effect, but in my experience it's random and is more frequently related to edges of the creep corridors and movement. Generally if the Rook walks a bit before placing a tower it will not fail, but if you take little half steps it'll fail several times in a row.

Reply to How are Pantheon matches determined? in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote]Remember, you can't quite compare this to automatching in other games. Nearly all games focus on 1v1 for their automatching. So even if the automatch pool is small, it's much easier to create good matches for 1v1 than 2v2 or 3v3.[/quote]You can compare it to warcraft 3 and wow, which both have very effective matching queues and almost always pair you with someone your rank... unless you play at odd hours and there's not enough players in queue, which is more similar t

Reply to Incorrect Proxies Being Used? in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

Hiya, I just wanted to say I've been having this problem as well. I'm in Kansas City (well, 10 miles west anyway) and I'm using timewarner. Ping's very solid with NAT and direct connections, but the proxies are causing issues for me. Also I'm not sure that it's necessarily the wrong proxy that's being picked because 700 seems too high for just that. I hopped in a euro game just a moment ago and I was under 220 with all the non-proxied players.

Reply to Hypothesis: Sedna is the absolute best demigod in 1v1 in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

On any map but prison I can handle a sedna 1v1 as rook. Bear in mind the only 1v1 experience I have is defending a lane from her, not any true 1v1 experience, but typically there's just no real way for her to pressure me.[quote]A good example is her vs a tower rook, she will be at a disadvantage if she attacks every tower but can instead go straight for the rook and force him to retreat leaving the towers to crumble over time.[/quote]I agree this is the best strat, but when I play rook

It's such a trivial endeavor to just tag your game with "good," "decent," or "no newbs." If pros flock to your game because you put up a tag that says "no noobs," then you probably would have gotten them anyway. I consider myself to be a pretty good player but I'm sick of getting stuck in hopeless games because of people

Reply to PREMADES ARE CHEATING in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

Fact is almost every game I join has a host who's played with the majority of the players on his teams (read 2/2, 2/3, or 3/4) for the past half dozen games or more (usually more) and they all complain about not being ablie to get games when I call them out on it. Premades put forth zero effort to balance teams or attract competition, that's just the way it is.

Reply to PREMADES ARE CHEATING in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

If you know you're a pretty good team, just put good players only in the title. Really you guys who complain about premades not being able to get games going without being deceptive are going to have problems sooner or later when stats are eventually visible. People aren't really going to care if you know your buddies, they're going to demand balanced teams.

[quote]I get the feeling you are about to object that "every combination of DGs in this game should be equally viable!!!" That is silly. In Guild Wars, that would be like objecting that you can't make a team of 8 warriors that is just as effective as a team of 8 that has at least 2 monks. Too bad, take the monks or deal with the disadvantages that comes from not using them. In this case, if you refuse to take DGs that can play defense, you take the chance that you might, you know, miss that d
