[quote who="Pfizzyhead" reply="31" id="2452788"]I only have around 75 games, and I feel like I have played quite a bit since the game was released. So, I can see how someone would be perplexed and wonder about the gamecount accrual of other players. I do think though, that if you consider that some games only last about 2 minutes, then this number can get very high, very quickly. I am an attorney, I have a wife and a 12 month old. I don't have much time to do what I enjoy (though I do enjoy s

[quote]BadDaddy88: your thread seems pointless. It is very doubtful that you actually do not know how someone could play that many games and thus you probably only want to troll the people who do play the game a lot by questioning their lifestyle for instance. I hope this one gets locked soon.[/quote] It wasn't meant to be, people just took it the wrong way. I was looking for replies like the guy on page 2 who is a firefighter.

[quote]I gotta agree with the OP. There are no Pros in DG, there is no professional league and no one gets paid to win tournaments, perhaps the odd bit of prize money for the one tournament that has been run so far. Pros are used in Videogaming in the completely correct sense in the big games. Starcraft, CounterStrike, Quake, World of Warcraft all have professional leagues and therefore have Pro's. The meaning of the word has not changed in vide

[quote]Just curious, OP - is this post in direct respose to someone busting your chops in a game for not being a "pro"? [/quote] Not at all. I would be kind of embarassed if I was. I mean I like winning as much as the next guy, but it is a videogame. Now, Left 4 Dead 2 is a different story (not that I'm a pro at that either).

[quote who="abuggeredhedgie" reply="19" id="2452103"]2-4 games a day, we'll round that to 3 games. 3 months... 3*30 == 90... * 3 == 270.. That is larger than 150 for sure. Sure enough, look at your games list andddd http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/games/player/62793/page/13 256 games.

[quote]Ben Franklin often said the perfect day was 8 hours of work, 8 hours of play, and 8 hours of sleep. Is it so impossible that 3 of those 8 hours of play could be spent on Demigod? I see nothing wrong with that many Demigod games, and it doesn't indicate anything about the lack of balance in a person's lifestyle. People addicted to MMOs these days dedicate far more hours than even the most hardcore Demigod players[/quote] I agree completely. Once again, the point wa

Wow. People get really defensive of their lifestyles. It was just a frickin' question. If you look, I have several threads on this forum and clearly play a fair amount of the game. Some of you are missing the point: I played 2-4 games EVERYNIGHT for about three months and now I (unfortunately) only get to play 4-6 games on the weekend. I feel like I have played quite a bit, yet I only have about 150 games. So the question was, how exactly does someone play 5-6 TIMES that in the same s

I can do the math. That wasn't the question. The question was- Who has 3 hours a day for video games? It is a social question. I know people do, I used to in college as well. I'm just curious if that is the case or its just guys who don't have wives/ girlfriends or jobs...

So I've been playing Demigod since about 2 weeks after it came out, and only online. I played every night this summer and now that the school year has started (I'm a teacher) I play a few games on the weekends. I have about 150 games. I feel like I play a fair amount of Demigod (less now that L4D2 is out). What are the lives of people with 500+ games like? Are we talking college students, basement-dwellers or what? I'm not trying to attack anyone's lifestyle, I just am curious (and somewhat j

Just some more love here for Frogboy, GPG and SD for taking player feedback seriously. I'm really excited to see more balance, and hence variety, in the favor items. This will definitely keep me mixing DG games in with L4D2!

Bobex- Thanks for the tips. Played a few games last night getting SoF at 5 and, to a point, agree with you. Also trying to incorporate some of Guerdian's suggestions though, i.e. going more health and armor heavy on purchases forgoing mana, damage and speed, I did struggle to keep enough mana to stay in the field as long as I like. But with the Unbreakable Boots and the Vlemish, it was just enough if I used it wisely. I may try to incorporate another of Guerdian's suggestions and get

Reply to In-depth Oak build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Sorry. SoF has a 1.0 cast time. It just seems like an eternity when you are used to casting Penitence all game. By the time I get SoF late game I barely use it because it is so slow. I only pull it out when a lane is just bogged down with creeps and they are getting annoying. Otherwise, I just save my mana to spam Penitence. I don't think my build is the best Oak build around, but I do suggest to those players who rely on Shield and SOF, try a Penitence heavy build once or twice. You

Reply to In-depth Oak build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

SoF has its perks, but it is incomparable to Penitence. Penitence has a 0.2 second cast time, SoF has like 1.5 or more. Penitence slows, SoF does not. Penitence increases the amount of damage they take from everything, which is the whole point here, SoF does not. Penitence costs less per point of damage (all that matters is your target DG, creeps are irrelevant , till later, when I do get SoF, and by the time I'm ready to hit that 2nd DG, my Penience will be cooled off.) Penitence has a bette

Reply to In-depth Oak build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I agree with all your points. As far as Last Stand, I almost never actually get it, it's just that the build has 19 skills, and 1 point of LS is better than 1 point of Morale, Shield, etc. As far as Shield goes, I sometimes get it late, but I really don't find it to be a game-changer until III, and even then, well, I guess I just am going with the best defense is a good offense. This is a VERY aggresive build, and while you're right, not dying and lane control decide the the outcome o

Reply to In-depth Oak build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

SoF is really good, but the whole point of this build is killing DGs, not creeps, because that is what matters. SoF at 5 is useless; you can't cast it and Penitence more than once each, and having that second or third Penitence is so much more valuable. Your minions are your AE for the first few levels, you chew through creep waves like butter. SoF becomes important when you hit 11 and catas are out, before that it is just another point not put towards Penitence and Spirit Ward.

Hey there. This is an Oak build I've been using with moderate-good success for about 3 months now. Since I've adopted it, I've never played a game where I felt like I lost because of the build; rather I've lost plenty of games due to poor teammates, poor teamwork, cockiness on my part, or simply being out-played by better players. Before you look it up, I've played 120 games, and won 45% of them. (I've played about 90% of those games with Oak.) However, through the first 60, before I adopted

WTF! How come everytime a patch comes out Favor Points get screwed up? I just played an AI-only game because I decided to purchase and play around with Heaven's Wrath (I usually play Oak, so I had never used it.) I purchased it, played a game as Rook, won, went to load another and sure enough, the points had been spent, but I didn't "own" Heaven's Wrath! So now I'm down 2000 favor points with nothing to show for it! I am so sick of this! This seems to happen every time a patch is released and

Did not realize about "esc." I think he was looking for something that you could do while standing still, since positioning is so important, and a few steps can cost you as many auto-attacks, so he was looking for something other than r-mouse. So, "esc" is good to know.

It seems to be just me, since everyone else is already in love with this DG, but don't the Forces of Darkness already have a Aliens-esque character in UB? And doesn't it seem like introducing an entirely new game mechanic in shadow-swap seem like a good way to unbalance a pretty balanced game? I mean, we all want something different and kind of original, but even though all the DGs achieve the effects differently, they are all some balance of melee attack, ranged attack, shield, heal, stun, A

Reply to Premade = Pubstomp? in Demigod Demigod Forums

It's a part of every competitive team game, TF2 and L4D being the examples that spring to mind most readily. But it's not the frequency with which the players play together, although that certainly helps to some extent, its the GPG totally dropping the ball on VOIP in the game. If you join a L4D team game vs a premade, they have some advantage, sure, but they don't have the OVERWHELMING advantage that a team with voice chat has over a team trying to type. And Vex is exactly right. Peo
