Reply to Dear devs: Please "fix" Random in Demigod Demigod Forums

Adding a new menu item won't take much time. IMO the most time will be spent on the logic, which unfortunately does change a bit because now it matters who we evaluate first as Random's should have their demigods chosen before Random (No Double)'s do. This is desirable because if Random selects an unused demigod (say, TB), Random (No Doubles) will not consider TB a valid choice. However, if a Random (No Doubles) selects an unused TB a later Random might happen to spin TB pro

[quote who="Primal Zed" reply="2" id="2331682"]random is random? Making it dependent on the demigods in your team means it's not random? Also, doubles isn't a problem.[/quote] Of course Random (No Double) is still random. If I have 5 chairs and want to randomly assign them to 5 people, you're just as likely to get chair 1 as chair 5, but as it is undesirable to seat multiple people in one chair I remove chair 1 as a possibility once it has been taken. I support having se

Reply to Dear Devs: Please make gunner range commensurate with level or... in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think he's saying it's fine that they outrange towers, but since the towers are so close they can take them out whilst being very well-protected quite deep within their own towers such that attacking the siegers with a melee demigod is suicide and you have no choice but to leave them be. Ideally, siege units should be quite vulnerable to compensate for their range and damage but here they can basically do their job from the safety of their own base. Don't get me wrong; I rea

Reply to question about screen configs with dual monitors in Demigod Demigod Forums

Umm if you expect the game will span across the two monitors, I don't think that's going to happen without a possible 3rd party program spanning it for you, and even then I dunno... I have a 24" monitor and the desktop is extended to a second 17" monitor to the side. If I remember right, I can use the mouse to scroll across edges of the map, but if I try to do that on the side of the monitor that goes to the other monitor my mouse enters the other monitors screen and the map doe

If a player dies before the first min is up I will instant quit you may think im a noob or whatever for doing this but how hard is it to stay a live for at least 1 min? espically when all the dgs have mostly the same gear and same level.[/quote] Depends on how aggressive you are.

Reply to Partners who abandon you if you die one time suck in Demigod Demigod Forums

I believe he's talking about if YOU die, not the teammate. i.e. if I come into the game and normally play a pretty solid game but mess up once early in this particular match then my teammate says "OMG sly is a newbie!!!" and dcs. When it happens, yeah it sucks. There's not much point in posting about it, but yeah it sucks.

Reply to House Rules for Experienced Players in Demigod Demigod Forums

If you want to be technical, yeah it's a nerf. But as opposed to most nerfs, where devs code something, release it to the wild, then deem something is OP based on observations and feedback and so choose to reduce it's effectiveness, this nerf is pretty clearly the result of a mistake the devs made during coding. Hence it's more like a fix.

Reply to What sort of modding? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Maps are definitely the most exciting IMO. New demigods and items will probably be put under strict scrutiny before being made official (until then, I think they only work on SP/Lan/possibly custom game), but new maps, particularly if symmetric, will probably be assessed more leniently.

Reply to A Formal Apology to Frogboy in Demigod Demigod Forums

Unfortunately the reality is there are very few truly friendly gaming forums. Combine that with the fact that the game is targeting the DotA community (one of the most notorious) and the poor launch and this level of volatility is pretty much what I would've expected. Sucks to see Frogboy go, but I understand both that he has better things to do and that his presence on the forums was a privilege to begin with. All the talk about the GalCiv 2 community made me want to fire

[quote who="Kokujin" reply="15" id="2306912"] I have to agree, a 350ms ping has a higher probability to lag than a 150ms. Bc a minimal spike will cause the game to lag, while the 150ms ping needs a higher spike to cause the game to lag. [/quote] I appreciate this; it's a decent way of thinking about it. Also, not not only are the spikes more significant but are more likely to occur... [quote who="Kokujin" reply="15" id="2306912"] The engine autocompensates f

[quote who="lifekatana" reply="13" id="2306734"]Spooky is correct. Also sly, I would argue you would need both a networking class and a physics class. The biggest distance possible between two players is a little more than 41000 km here on earth. Practically you will deal with much shorter distances, and lets take the america-aussieland example:http://www03.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=distance+sydney+new+york, 15000km.
