Reply to Killed myself, teammate got gold. in Demigod Demigod Forums

Whenever I die I let my teammates know where my blood is for three reasons: 1.) Avoid it if you need health but can manage 2.) Push opponents into it so hopefully they'll drink 3.) Drink it if you are unavoidably going to die so I CAN HAZ RICH!!!!

Reply to a idea to improve the game in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="Colonel_Jessep" reply="9" id="2275898"]Actually, I'd say give new players +500 HP in the first 5 games, then reduce it by 100 each game until the 500 HP bonus is gone. Online multiplayer is extremely unforgiving and new player could use a little help to get started.[/quote] lol, not a bad idea. Wow, you know the OP is bad when doing the opposite of his proposal is actually a good idea. [e digicons]^_^'[/e]

Reply to Favor reset is totally ruined this evening. in Demigod Demigod Forums

*shrugs* I only use the cloak. At 2k it'll take a few games to nab it again, but those games are kinda fun, unique experiences. I get to try a purse build for items again, the swift anklet, the blood, etc. Usually before taking the next favored item I practice against the computer quick to see what it "feels" like. The bright side is, for someone who's become very comfortable with a specific demiogod+favor+eq build, it's making the game fresh again. Sure,

Reply to Hybrid Erebus in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I don't get mist either. I'm all about bite, swarm, coven, sleep, and blood. Sleep is a good interrupt for potions/tp's early on, but it needs more than one point to be useful for anything else. I basically consider myself the guy that "snags" the enemy demigod so the rest of us can munch on him. Bat swarm+bite to slow him down enough to be caught in the sleep animation, then sleep. Wow, first he was slowed, then he was asleep for 1-2 seconds. Now another b

Reply to A few thoughts about premade in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="Lumifly" reply="22" id="2273558"] This whole post and those supporting it boils down to you not wanting to be TOO challenged. You have, in your head, some weird and incorrect idea that you should only lose a certain amount and under certain circumstances. This is ridiculous. You either win or you lose.

Reply to Player drops, so keep AI but remove Gold/Exp from killing it: Idea by AnnihilatorX. in Demigod Demigod Forums

Anyone remember Sins, and the "Pirates or no Pirates" debate. They just added a toggle option: Pirates or Pirates Inactive. I'm guessing they'll do the same in this case, or a "slider" as metioned above: AI replacement gives 100% 75%;50%;25%; No XP & Gold; No AI replacement. [e digicons]k1[/e] This is exactly what I proposed. I guess I have another on my side eh. (quote tag broken for me on this one) We are growing in numbers. [e digicons

Reply to Player drops, so keep AI but remove Gold/Exp from killing it: Idea by AnnihilatorX. in Demigod Demigod Forums

you know guys, I thought I read that the AI that gets replaced when a human leaves is a Normal AI.... we could try giving them a Hard or Nightmare AI... ever think of that? Or *gasp* a setting to set what kind of AI should get substituted in the event of player drops that enables them to better scale between pro and newbie games! Even if the AI is given bonuses due to their difficulty level it still makes more sense than capping their kill value because that's intuitive.

Reply to When do i buy which citadelle upgrades? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I don't think it's a good idea to make a set pattern... do what you think is best in your given situation. For example, if the level of play is high (most people are good), buy gold then xp because your teammates know what they're doing and will really benefit. Otherwise, focus more on outgearing them and upgrading towers so your teammates have a place to hide and the enemy can't make progress as easily everywhere you are not.

[quote who="AnnihilatorX" reply="19" id="2271391"] May I remind you that I have had numerous games that people quits due to them lagging. As well as some people that quitted for no apparent reason, e.g. shortly before 1st kill. Any anti-rage quit measures are unlikely to be 100% effective either. AI will play a part in the game. What you have proposed is not 100% fail safe. [/quote] You may, but I don't need the reminder because I've already addressed this. If it's g

But a player leaving for no apparent reason whatsoever can always happen and there is no reason to screw up such a game further by having the AI feeding gold to the enemy.[/quote] It's her
