Demigod ForumsOf course. That's well understood. But they would still be viable in 2v2, at least in the majority of cases, right?

Anyway, in the past, people have simply opened threads indicating players to avoid. I've decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and spoken to him in Impulse chat. He claims: (a) that his computer just disconnected all of a sudden; (b) that he was winning anyway, and since my tone was so aggressive (it wasn't) he isn't going to collaborate. FYI, the situation at the moment when his computer so conveniently disconnected w

Yes, having a comparatively rich thesaurus and not being afraid to use it is commonly taken for being arrogant these days, especially in online game communities ;-P You are 32 years old, though, so I wasn't expecting you to fall for that. Anyway, no offense taken :-D Just for the record: I would have probably named myself RUSSIAN-havoc. If I were a pretentious prick, that is. One last time, concerning p-h: I've seen his stats, they look astronomical

Update: I have figured a way to browse through code, thanks for the idea. PS: I'm a bit shocked... While playing ninja Sed vs a 500+ games player with 50% win rate, I was told, in all seriousness, to "stop running away" and to "fight like a man"! :/ Does Sedna really look that masculine? Or is it Sila?

(if you're into browsing through code.....) If I were, I wouldn't have bothered the veterans with all those questions :) i.e. Did you know that taking an enemy portal will give your entire team xp every time a creep wave comes out? No, of course I did not know that. What am I, prussian-havoc or something to know these things? ;) (Honestly, though: I've read about it here. In some old thread without firm facts and figures, there it was more s

Thanks, Dark! That kind of answers my question, though I'd be grateful to Hedgie should he provide the exact radius for WotS aura (I don't have WotS a the moment, not enough FP :-P Yep, yep, I'm such a noob...). You are in an appropriately professional mood today, I take it? ;) BTW, how do I report a player to avoid? I know it sounds stupid, but you be the judge... Here's a story: a certain guy (~200 games with not-so-bad win ratio) propose

Hedgie or Rawrrrr, I have another annoyingly trivial noob question! ;) Oh joy! Would OoD protect the WotS effect from being cancelled by any damage received? I mean, is the DG using OoD considered not receiving any damage by the game engine, or is it just a 100% damage reduction technically? Oh, and another thing, just to be sure: WotS aura has a 15 m radius, right?

Oh, you never disappoint! ;) No formulae, but I can live with it, methinks. What do you mean that she isn't a "high level orientated"? Do you mean that she isn't good in "high level" games (high skill levels?) or do you mean that she falters at high levels, compared to other Demigods? The latter. High level in a pure RPG sense. Not high skill level, God forbid. - Inner Grace is a newb trap. It does have its purposes for specific builds and matchups.

Well, no surprises here, then :/ She's just not a high-level oriented DG, I guess. But maybe hedgie will be inclined to add something insightful. With a formula or two, of course ;)

A question for the leading sednalogist (rawrrr). Is there a way to make a duelist build viable on higher levels? It works great if the game ends before everyone reaches level 15+. After that it has tough time competing with more combat-oriented DGs. Of course, I may be totally wrong: it can be just my lack of skill/experience.

You remind me of prussian-havoc based on how you speak, btw. Rawrrr thinks I'm crazy, but that's who you sound like to me. Well, that's a nice conspiracy theory, I'll give you that. Switching from Erebus to Sedna... However, I'm sure prussian-havoc would know how to attach priests to allied DGs and which mods to download, at the very least ;) Oh, and about those priests prussian-havoc presumably knows all about: is it just me, or is their DG targeting

45 base cast time * 85% cooldown (celerity flag) + 2 second cast time (cast time does not count towards cooldown). Ah, I see. I'm a linguist, not a mathematician ;) http://forums.demigodthegame.com/364517 Yes, I've seen the graphs. Practically, I've never felt Sedna lacks armor , to be honest. Melee attacks and towers hardly ever scratc

However, Sedna already has one of the lowest max hp out of all the characters (not level 1, but level 10 or so), If you don't count TB, QoT and Regulus, that is. She's on par with UB until level 10 or so, I think. as well as the lowest armor. I've probably misunderstood you here... Lowest armor? [e digicons]<_<[/e] Sedna starts out with highest natural armor rating after UB and Oak. By end-game (circa level 15), QoT in closed mo

Incorrect. Rather, I will say that ninja and speed Sedna builds are only viable in 2v2 and 1v1. They fail flat-out in 3v3. However, speed builds are only the best (composed to Blood tanking builds) in very, very specific match ups. Otherwise, Cloak of Night Pounce builds or Blood Heal/Silence builds are better (depending on matchup). I think the right term here is 'imprecise', not 'incorrect' :-P Come on, show a little faith in me: I am a noob, I have a right t

Actually, I thought about it. +30% speed from BoS and IG III will probably be enough. It's a bit sad the favor item choice is actually so very limited, but at least there are certain situations/match-ups where you can forego BotF, thanks God.

Now it's better. The key to reducing the win ratio is to play against 4Nana's team and/or with Darkliath ON your team when she's in her dark mood (no pun intended) or decides to "play Oculus like a noob for this game to balance the things out" ;-P So I've gone down to 2/1 proportion (~60-66%), which doesn't raise as much suspicion and is beneficial overall. Some interesting conclusions (that will seem rather trivial and absolutely uninteresting&

OMG_Jongalt26: Thanks for your kind offer. However, I feel I should get a bit more comfortable with certain - quite basic, truth be said - aspects of online Demigod before I'm ready to join any group. Yes, I fully understand joining you does not impose any obligations/restrictions :) That said, I still do not consider myself experienced enough to accept it right away. If your proposition will still be in effect, I'd be glad to join you whenever I g

Darkliath, thanks for your reply. I'll be glad to play with you online. Don't expect wonders (at first, at least :)), but at least I don't tend to make typical idiotic newbie mistakes (typical, judging from strat threads/articles here and my own limited experience). Well, most of the time ;) Oh, about that PM: I'm ashamed to admit I just cannot figure how to send/read PMs :-/ You mean that Shift+Tab function? L

4Nana: a very good analysis. I always thought people underrate Mulch+Shield combo, and, consequently, QoT in general. You are absolutely right, I find a properly geared QoT a better tank than Sedna (and that's one hell of a compliment): of course, Mulch is a bit trickier to use than Heal, and she doesn't get Sedna's godly aura-like passives -- but she can be virtually untouchable, no doubt about it. Still, I think Sedna is both an easier DG to play and has a bett

I wasn't boasting about my Sedna playing abilities being something special (my own estimate of my skill level is "moderately skilled for a newbie", surely not a "real badass") :) Nevertheless, I like the spirit of your reply (you manage to be provocative without sounding like a complete imbecile somehow, if you get my drift ;)), and I'm eager to learn from veterans, even if it involves losing a lot of games. So yes, challenge gladly accepted :)&nbs

4Nana, thank you for a quick reply. You are missing the point a bit, though. I'm not bitching about being kicked or not being able to join your game otherwise, mind you. Look, you joined the game session I'm referring to at the very moment when I was leaving because of that unfriendly attitude of marchiandu's, if I'm not mistaken. Nope, he didn't kick me or something - he didn't even ask me to leave, in fact. He just began to question me about this bein

Actually, that's not a complete oxymoron. I'm new to the whole Demigod online multiplayer business. Currently, I have played a dozen online matches. Unfortunately for me, my winning ratio is ~80%. Unfortunately -- because such stats cause two reaction types: (a) in noob-only games that I tried to join: "WTF, man, you're not a noob! 80% wins! kick him NOW, host!"; (b) in skilled-only games: "IN1 who? is this your second acc, huh?"
