List : Bugs or Exploits that needs to be adressed.

from Demigod Forums

Ok I'd like to sum up in a single post, all the gameplay bugs/exploit in the game right now, and hopefully it'll be easier for the devs to notice them than having to search every single post.

If you have found some more just reply I'll edit the post. It's not about balancing the game, I think it's really too soon for that.

Graphics:

-While using the shadow settings on LOW, after an alt-tab the game is very dark. And you have to reboot it to fix it.

 

Multiplayer Lobby:

- Sometimes you push the join game button, it enters another game or asks for a password. I think it's due to how the selection is kept in memory after a refresh. It's probably a integer index of the item in the list, then when it refreshes it's not the same game anymore.

Units behaviour:

- Sometimes after issuing an order the demigod won't respond and just stand there doin nothing.(High)

- Melee pets don't hit a moving target, need a small buff of their attack range.

- Sometimes after issuing an attack order the pets or the DG won't chase the target and just go back hitting whatever is close to them. I think it's related to the above bug.

- In Exile, the pathfinding of the pets is broken. Can't explain properly without a replay, I'll try to get a screenshot or video.

 

Generals Demigod:

- If you buy an Idol rank 1 , summon and sell it, and then buy another rank you'll be able to summon the pets.
Ie : You can have all 8 Melee + 8 Priests + 8 Sieges.

- Queen of Thorns Achievements : Kills are counted as packed and unpacked at the same time.
- Queen of Thorns : she should have a slower attack when she closes, faster attack when opened. When freshly spawned she has the correct speed. After closing and opening again, the attack speed stays on the closed (slower) values. It resets again if QoT gains a level while opened. http://forums.demigodthegame.com/348086

- Erebus : He can kill himself with his poisoned blood and earn money for the kill.

 

Assassins Demigod:

 

Items:

- Heart of Life : effect should be canceled when you receive a HIT not Damages. Exploit possible with Oak invulnerability.
- Heart of Life : effect is canceled if healed.
- Wand of Speed : Activating it should'nt make you stop while running.

I been doing some searches for about 30 min and I am unable to find it currently and I don't remember what the post was about. It was said before april 17 and after release and I don't believe it was frog that said it.

Here is the only thing I could find so far where frog said they will fix it:

Ok I admit it is possible to have 8 Melee + 8 Priests + 8 Sieges, but you also can have only one idol of one type at a time and using it will make it's slot on 30seconds cooldown, which makes it really hard to make all those 24 minions up at a time, of course unless you are camping at the items shop or your minions don't die, which I really doubt... So I would not consider this an issue.

Heres a huge exploit for LE

When you drink your own poison potion as LE and die from it, it counts as a kill and you get gold. And the enemy only gets an assist for the kill instead of the full credit.  *_*

One more thing: triggering wand of speed shouldn't interrupt. If you're moving, you should continue moving. Nothing sucks more than to get killed while you are trying to run faster because in fact hitting wand of speed stopped you instead of accelerating your retreat.

This will need to look to see if its still an issue, I know the oak spirit flag issue has been resolved.

QoT Achievements for packed and unpacked.

For matchmaking, I recently had a 3 (humns) v 0 match in skirmish.

Updated the first post with Qot Bugs, and the Wand of speed.

I repeat the post is not about balancing, or gameplay change. Just bugs or exploits :)

Wanna add mine above then?

Reply #34 from Demigod Forums Top

yes the skirmish bug should be added as well already 2 known occurances.

Reply #35 from Demigod Forums Top

Mp bugs are well known all the devs are talking about them already...

Reply #36 from Demigod Forums Top

You forgot that if you're running away, your demigod can turn around to try to attack the person chasing you, which is the opposite of what you want to do when running away.

You forgot a number of important bugs..

I have something much more complete at: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/348135 already.  So does ke5trel.

It's not a bug, your DG wtill still run, while attacking everything in his range, it doesn't slow him or whatever, as for the thread most of it is about balancing.

Reply #38 from Demigod Forums Top

... no he turns around to the person chasing him to attack him.

And the top part is gameplay bugs.

Reply #39 from Demigod Forums Top

That's the behaviour bug stated in the list about the pets, I'll add the DG as well.

The lighting in the game sometimes gets screwed up when you minimize the game and come back to it.  Only way to fix it is to restart Demigod.

It also removes the circle showing the effective range of a skill.  For example, if I select Bat Swarm as Erebus, it will not show me the circle around my character indicating how far I can teleport.

This doesn't happen with every ALT+Tab; maybe 1:3 times for me.

Screen shots:

Snipe - As long as you click the person while you have sight of them anywhere on the map Regulus will continue to walk until he is in range and FIRE whether you still have sight of the person or they went into fog.  The shot will go off as long as you click the skill on the target.  Sight does not break.

I'll add this bug on the first post hoewever I can already tell you how to fix it, don't use low qual shadows.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned that Demigod often crashes when you alt-tab from the game lobby screen, especially as the host.

Reply #46 from Stardock Forums Top

Since the new patch alt tabing from full screen mode and going back to game has caused 4 fatal errors with demigod, I have always used alt tab from full screen. I did not start getting these errors till today. I can only say it has to be the new patch. Nothing has changed in my system configuration in over a month. No installs or deinstalls of anything.

Oak's shield isn't the only way to exploit the Heart of Life: the Orb of Defiance gives you a guaranteed 5 seconds of healing (you have to use the Heart first, but both items are instant-cast, so there's no real chance of getting interrupted). This combo does take up two use item slots and about double the gold cost of the HoL, so I'm not sure it qualifies as an exploit. The Heart seems really powerful, but it's probably less effective than potions under most circumstances, if a lot cheaper in the long term.

Speaking purely from two days' single-player experience here, so I'm probably wrong about pretty much everything.
