why DG failed for me » Forum Post by dawn3000

I agree with the horrendous control while in a battle. But the rest of your points... it's not meant to be a DotA clone so stop complaining that it isn't.

- You can purchase items to make you go faster. 1250 gold makes you go 25% for 8 seconds every 30.

- Games only last forever if neither team upgrades their citadel. Once you upgrade for new units and upgrade their strengths matches will end preety quickly as there will be massive swarms of units just bulldozing all structures.

- Its hard enough balancing 8. Quantity != Quality. Personally I find 8 to be a perfect amount for a starting game. They said more will be added in time.

- No surprise attacks? Use a teleport scroll.

- Yes big battles can get quite hectic. That is why they are enjoyable.

Why do people need extremely fast gameplay all the time these days? I personally LOVE the pace of this game.

And if its to slow... then speed up the game speed or upgrade your character in game to go faster!

Sucks that are you bored of the game already, im still enjoying it lots and you know there will be new content coming later on.

So do I, This game and Sins are the only two RTS games that give you time to think. I love other "rts" games but a lot of times your ability to click like a tweaking meth addict is more valuable than strategy. 8 heros is a good start, I know what to expect from my teamates and opponents. A few more would be cool but the ammount that DOTA has dosen't accomplish anything except making it impossible to know what they all do. (unless you're a looser in your moms basement with aspergers)

- game feals and is slow ! just fire the designer who proposed that making all heros move like snails will be fun
There is an option for game speed, from slow to medium to very fast

- games can take forever! balanced teams can fight for hours with noone winning (had it several times)
I bet you are one of those who never spend gold on the citadel and only care about himself?
as someone said, supprot waves is a powerfull weapon you should learn to use

- 8 heros ! how u wanna compete with dota with 8 heros omg... it took me 3 month to play every hero in dota and DG has 8 which i played all in several builds in about 3 days
8 heros each got x5 more skills then a dota hero and x10 more strategies

- no ganks no surpise attacks no strategie ! how if ur hero will take 30mins to get to the spot u want him
Teleport behind the enemy DG and you surprise him
strategy? omg there are tons of ways to kill DGs, you dont even have to kill them directly like in dota
and it takes 2 seconds to get to the enemy base, you just have to capture a flag or put a tower in it

- too much chaos ! team clash with several genrals and a rook occuping the full screen how u wanna spot ur own hero dont even mention the enemy u wanna kill...
Yeah its a major problem in the game
I think the developers should add team icons on the right side of the screen with info about HP
and if needed you can cast a spell on the icon and not on the DG

I always name my games "pros only" and haven't had a game over 50 minutes. You're probably just bad.

i love stardocks and will always support u but gaspowered screwed this one badly!

Already got your money. You're leaving forever now, right?

this would be especially helpful for Generals and their minions, I keep loosing mine when the screen fills up with grunts fighting.

Um, what was it, hold control to click on the demigod rather than a unit or whatever else?

This game is 10x more skill than DoTA. About 50x more teamwork.

I like holding space for that.

There was to omuch stupidity for me to bother putting in serious responses.

It's only people saying they hate the game that they want movespeed faster. Games tend to last 15-25 minutes as it is. Faster movespeed means more people will just be running back to health crystal instead of fighting.

playing DG very intensive for 1 week now and sadly i already lost interest

here are just some points:

- game feals and is slow ! just fire the designer who proposed that making all heros move like snails will be fun

- games can take forever! balanced teams can fight for hours with noone winning (had it several times)

- 8 heros ! how u wanna compete with dota with 8 heros omg... it took me 3 month to play every hero in dota and DG has 8 which i played all in several builds in about 3 days

- no ganks no surpise attacks no strategie ! how if ur hero will take 30mins to get to the spot u want him

- too much chaos ! team clash with several genrals and a rook occuping the full screen how u wanna spot ur own hero dont even mention the enemy u wanna kill...

just a few points... there are many many more...

kinda sad to see that a payed group of developers cant compete with the creativity of 1 indipendent moddder

i love stardocks and will always support u but gaspowered screwed this one badly!

Please come back when you learn how to speak in complete sentences and not use internet "spelling".

By failing to do use proper English not only is your post hard to read, it makes you look very unintelligent, which in turn leads most people to not taking what you have to say seriously.

This game is not DotA, if you want DotA go play DotA.
I think (and I know many others agree with me) that the current game speed is perfect. You're welcome to disagree of course.
- More options are always good and I do agree with you fast is too fast. It would be nice to have an option inbetween, not that I'd use it.... but it sounds like you would.
More Demigod will be added over time, until then enjoy the ones we have!
- Each Demigod imo has multiple builds and ways to play... try new things and diffrent ways to level them.

I can sorta sympathize about the heroes being slow, heroes do move a little sluggishly.

However, there are things called teleport scrolls. For 250 gold, teleport to any friendly building. Gives you incentive to capture flags close to enemy territory, doesn't it?

I don't see the logic in the complaint about games being slow. The longest game I've played so far is 37 minutes, a five on five. It went back and forth a few times before one side gained the upper hand.

And...

Gank != only valid strategy.

This guy sounds pretty representative of the Dota community from what I've heard and is why I won't be sad (and perhaps even happy) if these "OMG Demigod is not Dota!" people went back to Dota and never came back.

Reading the OP's post was really painful. The next game you should invest in is microsoft word so you can use spellchecker. Just be sure to have a fire extinguisher nearby in the case that your computer explodes while trying to decipher one of your messages.

iam not a DOTA representative but i do give credit to 1 indipendent modder having more creativity than a games studio like gas powered

Okay I have to argue this because the post just doesn't make sense to me at all. I really don't believe you played this much at all and are just complaining based on very early impressions.

- game feals and is slow ! just fire the designer who proposed that making all heros move like snails will be fun

Generals can move quite fast with the right items/upgrades, not to mention teleporting. It would be stupid if everyone zipped around the map by default. Perhaps if you only played the Rook but he has offsetting advantages.

- games can take forever! balanced teams can fight for hours with noone winning (had it several times)

Wow. Just wow. As someone who is used to playing SOASE, these games go quickly. A game goes anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour (which is rare and usually an awesome game). The average is about 30-40min.

- 8 heros ! how u wanna compete with dota with 8 heros omg... it took me 3 month to play every hero in dota and DG has 8 which i played all in several builds in about 3 days

The manual makes it pretty clear that this is just a start and more generals will be coming.

- no ganks no surpise attacks no strategie ! how if ur hero will take 30mins to get to the spot u want him

Therre are tonnes of general specific abilities, teleporting (for surprise and deciding where to attack/defend and what flags to get fight for and how badly as well as citadel upgrades, items and skill tree. Depending on your combination, you end up playing very different types of games. There is definitely strategy.

- too much chaos ! team clash with several genrals and a rook occuping the full screen how u wanna spot ur own hero dont even mention the enemy u wanna kill...

You obviouosly couldn't have played a lot if you didn't get used to this, especially with the ease to zoom, pan and twist your view.
