The guy is clearly a very fragile and troubled young person with serious issues. He needs a councillor, the rest of us need to be free of this individual until he gets his head straight. Every time I read your posts, I don't understand: how do you manage to sound so banal and so insincere at the same time? It's your elementary school teacher tone (self-righteous, condescending, pseudo-mature) that really rubs me the wrong way, I guess. FYI, befo

But anyway I am a bit more irritable lately because my dad was diagnosed with cancer a month ago, my aunt died of cancer a week ago and my dad also was diagnosed with blocked arteries and had 2 stints put in tonight and has another 2 going in next week. On top of all of that my grades have been failing of late. Did I mention that I didn't get to go to my aunts funeral because I had an exam on the day of? Sorry to hear that, Zex. Hope your dad will get better. </

Its funny when people insult my intelligence based on internet dialog when they know nothing about me. It is assumed I am a moron because I use cuss words in my sentence structure. We are all big boys and girls here a few cuss words never hurt anyone. Perhaps I am just not as uptight and high strung as some of you grammer nazis and proper english advocates. Or maybe you just get off by insulting someone over the internet. Well, Zex, maybe you and Ninki have a history, I don't

Here comes a man, from nowhere and blows your little system out of the water, in 3 months I have risen to the 3rd spot ranking as UB, and soon to 1st...Not by cheating, hacking or any other method...I am simply smarter than the majority. Come on, Cambo... That was really naive [e digicons]:D[/e] I thought you were intelligent enough at least to know better than using those DG rankings in an argument. For example, I'm playing this game for

I hope to try it out today (a lot of work, so not sure I'll get online at all...). Okay. Technically, the microphone and the headphones seem to work fine so far (Peter heard me, Darkliath heard me). However, I'm not sure how should I join actual games... I mean it seems a bit rude just to join one of the channels all of a sudden. Well, I guess I'll wait until someone I know (at least superficially, from forums) signs in while I'm online. By the way,&n

Most strategy games actually favor aggressive play. Well, curiously enough, most fighting games and action RPGs (a similar genre) definitely do not. Aggressive player = dumb and dead player. The only form of being aggressive in skilled matches in, say, Soul Calibur IV is careful and restrained counter-attack on serious frame advantage after a successful dodge/block/GI. Demigod is somewhat similar in this respect.

Rawrrr, Pacov, thank you for both the instructions and the encouragement. Hopefully, I'll find time to install it today. I think the only really annoying thing you will face is being excluded from all tier 1 games. That kind of goes without saying :) Do you have a mic or will you just be listening in? I do, but I will need to set it up.

To join that Vent channel several OMG (and non-OMG) people told me about. Not that I don't suck anymore, mind you. For example, Darkliath had recently killed my Occ 14 times in a row using no favor items or skills! But don't let that info stop you! ;) Please tell me again, how can I join your channel? Technically, that is. (There was a post about that, but I'm not 100% sure it's not outdated or something). I'm a weak player, but I really want to get

Reply to A psychological observation (kind of) in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

nah - not even interesting to play. Its a big stalling match against top players. You wait until you have something strong to go with, then snatch at any opportunity that comes along. Or you focus on people acting like goofs. Most tier 1 matches can be summarized by about 2-4 combats. The rest of the game is just hanging out and positioning for flags. Pro matches (not only DG pro matches, mind you) are always very defensive by nature. Resorting to

No, Cambokill is most definitely not Your_Maker. Cambokill is an Aussie living in Japan (I've talked to him several times), and not a totally bad player (at least, he understands some of the less obvious game mechanics and does not always bash noobs). I guess you might call him an asshole by the virtue of the very fact of not always telling newer players what the game settings are and adjusting game speed at will. That said, I w

For those who want to get better by analyzing and learning - yes, sure. But people who'd rather see some action (action understood as a lot of kills going on) will be disappointed. It's exactly the same in fighting games: usually scrubs/casual players aren't too excited to see both characters maneuvering for 20 seconds, then checking/poking and blocking 99% of each other's pokes for the remaining 40 seconds. However, any pro can clea

You have to rethink of which lane to go to, what build to do, what items to get in what order, and then work on exploiting tiny mistakes [e digicons]:)[/e] Plus, ultra-pro matches always are much more interesting to play than to watch (they look long, boring and way too safe to scrubs). I was a tourney level player in a very different kind of game until a year ago or so (though not that different, when I think about it... it was simila

Reply to A psychological observation (kind of) in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Thanks, Zex, I guess that answers my question. Of course, sheer map size being incompatible with 3v3 settings is a totally valid point. Hell, 3v3 is a bit problematic even on Levi (not disproportionately so, since artifact flag lane is usually left deserted, but sometimes it's felt the map was designed with 4v4 as a default setting in mind, indeed).

Reply to A psychological observation (kind of) in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

What works out really well is turning a flag halfway but not turning it yellow. You have to run at exactly the right time, but it can definitely be good. 1, you don't give them a yellow. 2, it literally is the same color so unless they remember that you did it or randomly mouse over it they can't notice. 3, when you go back it'll change instantly and they'll be like "wtf!!" There are definitely times that I will forget a portal flag was turned almost halfway.

I experienced the same problem yesterday. In my case, a simple reboot solved the issue (just exiting and re-running DG didn't help, though).

A psychological observation (kind of) in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Please, don't laugh... Look, perhaps this is common knowledge/trivial info or, on the contrary, a totally incorrect assumption based on games vs. unskilled noobs/mids. Anyway, I think that during end-game, when a lot of action is going on, and preferably on 1v1/2v2 settings, sometimes it's better to just "neutralize" opponent's non-crucial flags (not portals or gold, of course) than to actually capture them. The reason is ridiculousl

Then you spend the next 20 minutes watching other decent players show up then immediately drop when they see the noob on their team, before you can even type, "Hey we'll balance this, just stick around." If my limited experience of playing this game at noob/mid skill level only gives me any right to chime in... Let's put it this way: I don't like playing stacked teams. Of course, I prefer challenging balanced games to stupid noob-slaugh

Is it a radeon 5xxx series? I have a 5750 and they do just seem to be glitchy. Yes, I have a Radeon 5-something. The computer is not that old (we've bought it last July). Anyway, thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

A bit off-topic, sorry. ('Til my computer had it's once every few dozen games crash. Sigh.) Blue screen, physical memory dump & stuff? I'm only asking because I suspect I have the same problem. In my opinion, it's graphics card-related. It usually happens when there is a lot of creeps/spell effects on screen AND you are trying to zoom in/zoom out. However, that's not always the case. The statistics are roughly the same: it crashes once in 10-12 games.&nb

Personally, I'd be delighted to take part in such games. I feel that now that I am more or less familiar with the basics, I should stop playing casual unbalanced games w/o Vent, for all the obvious reasons. Winning games against weaker noob/mid teams does not help me become a better player, while losing on noob/mid skill level is usually a direct consequence of non-coordinated teamplay (it can be educative in retrospect via replay, but only to a certain
