Archon_Saar, Looking at the stats and the mini-map, it's not immediately clear that you were winning. 2 kills vs 1 isn't that significant lead, lvl 10 vs lvl9, ahead in gold but slightly behind in flags. It could be just a disconnect (which are quite frequent), in which case the host's computer will automatically report it as loss for you.
It doesn't look like an 'exploit' to me, but it's annoying enough to make the game not fun any more. So I don't play vs Ereb on Crucible, and if i host a Crucible game I put 'no Ereb' in the label. I know, lame, avoiding what I don't like.. but it makes the game more fun.
Oculus has not been enabled yet for most players, so officially you can't play him (though AIs can). There's a mod though that lets you play Oculus: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/369721
[quote who="irek1988" reply="9" id="2463781"]"shielding is even greater cheating" I would love to see any way to counter shield+tp combo. Oak is too strong demigod to have that. I have only two counters right now. Attack someone else to make oak waste his shield, or spam stun when he gets under 1500hp to finish him off. Both are freakin hard to pull out in PUG teams. Vent is really a must.[/quote] Sedna's silence can be actually quite paintful, esp level 2-
I find it's hard to time shield cast to avoid an incoming slam or fireball, but it's pretty damn convenient when someone on your team is getting focus-fired. Some of my uses for Shield 3: (1) Go up to a portal tower on cataract (usually with monks and siege, maybe spirits), start hammering at it. If someone TPs in, keep hacking at it until you're almost dead, then shield+tp out. Come back when shield/tp cooldown is almost done. Can usually down a porta
That's a good idea actually. Maybe i can play Reg on cataract again this way. I've done something similar before: hosted a couple 'no ereb' games on Crucible largely to avoid the warp-behind-your-portal-cap-portal-batswarm-out trick.
I use the UI mod that displays teammates' mana and equipment. Usually I forget it's there and don't pay attention to it.
Yeah, level 3/4 is probably a bit early for that. I usually start going for the portals after level 8 or so, no earlier than level 7 as Oak (when I get Shield 3), and only if the corner tower (but not necessarily portal towers) is already down. With respect to the experience math, the XP from the second wave actually gives full creep wave experience to all players on your team; that means in 3v3 that's 231*3 = 693 experience. Plus whatever XP you get by killing a wa
[quote who="LORD-ORION" reply="18" id="2457264"]My Assesment: DO NOT grab the enemy portals early running past the towers! Assuming you are competent eough not to die 1) This screws you out of XP in your lane 2) Almost ensures you will need to leave the lane to heal 3) You can't hold it, so you just gave them flag XP and and an extra creep wave XP/Gold) [/quote] This actually isn't very accurate.

[quote who="Epiphenomenon" reply="75" id="2452919"]I'll see if I can't replicate the multiple spirit bug with just one point in Soul Ward. I've done it twice. Usually, it happens when I wait to get Soul Ward after level 10 while I have multiple points in Soul Power. It happened to me precisely as it happened to Sparky. I waited until endgame to get a point in Soul Ward, and then I had like 6-9 spirits flying around. Sparky, would you have happened to save the replay? Can you try replicating i
Have to agree with OP with respect to 'pro'. A 'pro' here is not like a 'pro' in e.g. Starcraft, where 'pro' = 'professional' = actually makes money by playing the game. 'Expert' is probably a better term.
[quote who="Ke5trel" reply="69" id="2446784"] Quoting Epiphenomenon, reply 66 One time I was able to get 9 spirits having spent only 1 point on soul ward. I haven't been able to replicate that. Has anyone else been able to do this? That shouldn't be possible. One point in Ward gives you max 3 spirits, I've never seen more.. could you be confusing Soul Power with Soul Ward?

[quote who="Thanatosesc" reply="6" id="2448393"]What about Gold flags end game. I'm always struggling if we're in a back and forth (close game) and I have an open lane (or one I can push); should I: 1- Cap all flags on the way to Portal (and waste time doing it, but get HP bonus and Gold bonus) preventing them from porting behind me; or 2- Go straight to portal flag and then work backwards (i.e. Gold, then mana/hp)? Thoughts?[/quote]
[quote who="lifekatana" reply="3" id="2429005"]I meant shield I. I forgot to mention that shield III is pretty good BUT, the same applies: it costs a lot of skillpoint and the real use is either to extend your life or safe you with a shieldport.

Probably not a good idea to jump to conclusions, invalid gamestate can be triggered accidentally. I know i've caused at least one when I lost my connection to other players a couple months ago.
I'm not a pro, though i usually play Oak, mostly assassin. Looking at your replay, a few notes: 1) You kept both your monks for yourself. Due to the way monks work, two wouldn't heal you any more than one, so might as well give one to one of your mates, usually one who does more melee fighting (UB in case of that game). 2) At around 4:00, you went for the XP flag instead of defending the tower. One demigod is sometimes enough to chase two away from a tower, a
I'm not a pro player, but your reasoning seems to make sense. If the opponents are pushing 3v2 with me on the other side of the map, i'd start pushing on my end myself because (1) there's no one to oppose me and (2) it might actually get the opponents' attention and they'll tp in to counter me. I'd keep an eye on the confrontation though, and if my presence is needed i'd teleport in (usually if my teammates are really not doing well or if there's a good gank opportunity). </p
QoTs usually don't have a lot of HP and rely on their shields/allies to stay alive. Focus-fire it for a while with your allies, and it should die quickly. When fighting vs QOT /UB combination (or any QOT combination), make sure to focus on QOT if she's in range, because she's the weaker of the two. Make sure to keep casting any supporting spells while doing that (heals, penitence, etc).
I'm pretty sure chaining is there to just look pretty
[quote who="Izuz" reply="8" id="2417588"]for loking a portal and TP out safely without any interupt. for consuming a robust potion in the middle of the battle.[/quote] How would this work? Would you start the tp/potion and then trigger the orb?
That said, my problem with it is that it occupies an extra slot in the inventory, so you'd have to give up something else.
I've played a game where i ended up 1v1 vs opponent in his/her creep wave (with lots of catas/giants). The op used the orb, and i had to back up because sticking around for extra 5 sec would have lost me a lot of HP.

Even if the general who supplied the monk is paying attention and immediately respawns it and sends it over, it'll still take it a while to walk over to the other lane.
