Reply to Discuss: Zikurat 2 lane farm or war score in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Always dual farm, especially if you can hold the middle flag and break even anyway. You can easily catch up on war score when you're 7 and they're 4.

[quote]And I could multitask fine on my 512K Amiga.[/quote]I see what you're getting at here, but I think that particular increase in complexity is more apparent than the increase in bandwidth from one game to the next. For example does going from a quake 1 death match to a quake 3 match require all that much more data? Will an FPS several generations from now require as much bandwidth as Left 4 Dead with its swarms of zombies the players have to be aware of? It doesn't seem at first

[quote]"He's a melee character with amazing Mana Regen." oh yeh about this ive also nerfed UB's base mana regen and max mana slightly. I dont think that such a strong melee character should have such great mana regen and max mana (for christs sake his max mana is higher than a skill dependant QoT, Sedna etc.). But before you get at my throat about nerfing UB, its only very minor and most likely wont be so noticeable.[/quote]You call me pessimistic, but I've agreed with nerfing UB's

Reply to I just want to complain (Frogboy read please) in Demigod Demigod Forums

Pretty much my sentiments Frogboy, but I gotta say the idea of SC and WC3 (dota) being p2p is confusing to me, becuase honestly I played those on dialup and they worked great, even when I split a dialup connection on WC3. I just don't understand why DG requires so much more bandwidth. That being said, once a game is up and running it blows the competitors out of the water. I'm curious about what you guys can do to facilitate that process via impulse.

I don't like the idea of stats being more effective, it seems like a very uninteresting way to play. :/

Arlight, I'll just rehash my point then and move on: Oak is the only one who can do that at level 7, but at level 7 you generally still have side towers up and there's not an especially good reason besides someone dying for you to be leaving a lane unguarded anyway. By the time giants and catapults reach the field there's a very good chance that several other DGs will be able to perform the same feat, so I don't see how an early game lock can be unacceptable but an absolute game endin

If that is made possible, I think Pantheon will get a lot more use than it currently does.[/quote]Well I got the impression that they might be able to circumvent pantheon completely for automatic matchmaking depending on how robust that system turns out, which would be great. If we could just get a pure 'click to play' button and some team support, that'd be great.

[quote]I think having to sacrifice an item slow just for dispelling cap locks would be irritating. If you use the slot for a UG then you have more options then just reacting to someone elses lock. A lock you can actively use. If you had a Lock Dispell you would have it sit in your item slot until someone ELSE used a lock.[/quote]Sure, but my goal isn't to make cap locks unusable in the midfield, I only take issue with them on portals, in which case it wouldn't be a big deal since you'd be by

[quote]And a new item just for dispelling locks would be stupid. That would cause the same problem as the only reason people would carry UGs around all the time would be to dispell locks if they did.[/quote]There'd be a much greater tradeoff to it than using a gadget for that purpose. Gadgets are already amazing and yet they're not used much for that reason.

The only thing that really keeps them in check is the fact that everyone needs locks, TPs, and sigils. I'd much rather see a new item added if it's going to be an item solution, because I think the fun part of gadgets is the surprise, they'd become tedious if everyone had one at

[quote] Could you explain it?[/quote]It's a two-part effect. When you cast Foul Grasp you stun the enemy for 2 seconds. This effect deals no damage. You also begin channeling a life drain effect for two seconds, during which you cannot autoattack or move. However, you can interrupt the effect with abilities, so things like cap locks, ooze, blade of the serpent, potions, gadgets, etc. can be used. This will stop the channeling health drain, but generally people only get rank 1 grasp anyway and
