First of all, welcome to the internet. I hate it as well. Worse grouping of people ever, eh? Second of all, it may not be the usual "random hate". I'd imagine a pro baseball team would be upset if you tried batting by poking the ball instead of swinging or doing something else completly ridicious. No, we're not playing pro baseball. I know. The point is most people want a good game. When newer players are feeding the enemy team, walking around with 100 hp, and o

I'll admit I'm confused too. Steam has little to do with anything.

[quote who="sitter_san" reply="25" id="2148296"]Wait, so honestly, the impression I'm getting is that no one thinks there is a problem here. The game is perfectly suited for crazy late-game upsets. There is absolutely no problem with the late-game in its current state. I'm... I'm sorta at a loss for words. This has always been a problem for AoS-style gameplay, but apparently something magically changed in DG and everybody forgot their problems. Well forget it then, let things carry

React to aoe fast enough to avoid? Hmm.... Once again though, disagree with speed. And it's not that different from dota, a few abilities give you time to avoid them like the charged sphere. Being a crack-reactionist with twitching fingers does not = skill. It means you need help. *wink*

That game is playable, though it's about half/half with people who can connect just fine and those who can't. The_Monk wrote a great guide to improve your ability to connect and the recent patches have made it far better as well. Lan works fine and there are plenty of Hamachi networks hosting games, we're planning on starting a Leaf network as well. I'd say pick it up, might as well even if you chose to believe the first poster. Shelf it and play it later, but at the very leas

I think Virid updated my game for me. Anyway, ironically enough when I woke up to try a game the servers went down, bah. I'll try it out when I get home. Thanks for all the work that was put into getting it out to us.

Yeah, I love having him in games. Even as I get smashed by his hammer, it's hard to stay mad at him. He's just too epic. He should be bigger, just to annoy other players heh. Glad I got the collector's edition myself. Sometime this week I'll take a look at the fansite content and see if I can't whip up a rook wall paper.

Psst. DalzK . *poke poke* *wink wink* *hint hint* *shuffle shuffle* If you do, send me a pm.

I'll admit, he's probably one of the best character designs I've ever seen, period. Whoever made his concept deserves a handshake. Not to say the others aren't great, it's just that Rook is over the top. Probably why he is the game's unofficial mascot.

And? A lot of mod makers use 3dmax as well, look at oblivion. Hell, I know how to use 3dmax. All we'd really need is an effective way to import them, I suppose, and a big enough fan base. Also, making an editor is not out of the water, perhaps it's something than can whip up in that year of free support. I'd really wish they'd at least offer a donation system to help bolster support, I wouldn't mind tossing a few bucks a week and with enough people it would add up. Free support is gra

[quote who="Xinoxlx" reply="15" id="2146697"]What demi where you that didn't have an aoe and where can I select it? Cause all 8 have multiple aoe's that you'd be hard pressed to somehow avoid skilling up. [/quote] Unclean Beast doesn't force you to get an aoe, you have to build him around it. The cookie build with him is spit\inner\ wrath\ life drain. And I do see this as an exploit. It's a slip skill, a lot of games have them. They're "skills" that are obv

Creeps almost always win games, not Demigods. It's the cluster fack of them at end that usually topples cits. rather than Demigods. Demigods typically help push tower but more than not keep enemy Demigods from defending against the creeps. Demigod without aoe can kill creeps fairly fast, but only one at a time normally. Basically, they're wasting time and are usually better off kililng demigods if at all possible. Some, however, like Frost TB, plague/ooze UB, and thorn QoT are ab

You can have duplicate Demigods, obviously. I don't feel this game needs a tutorial, nearly everything is common sense. I don't think anyone should need a tutorial to tell them "Hey! There are tabs on that screen, maybe you should press 'em as some of them look like helmets, bodies, stars, and other things." Most of the other stuff I'd agree with, which basically boils down to more. More demigods, more items, more levels, ect. I'm in favor of all three. Unique items and

I'm at work. =\ Someone kill a few Demigods in my name when the servers go back on.

Why? Because Light is getting their rears kicked? Just kidding. Aye, I'm all in favor of a reset next Monday or something.

? I hear rook's sound effect for the hammer, it's that wooshing sound followed a low soft crash. I hear the spit SE from Unclean Beast's abilities as well.

Options for all of the above, would probably be the best choice. The default should probably be prompting any player to take control of the hero by pressing a particular key and after 10 seconds it stays in bot mode but is worth less xp\gold.

[quote who="revlazaro" reply="7" id="2142170"] 2) Cerulean_Shaman: I've taken an interest in the LEAF program you mentioned. I'd be willing to experiment with it if it's more stable than Hamachi; or at least easier to organize a community of networks on. Gimme a hollar over Hamachi or, if you have it, feel free to Xfire me. My Xfire if anyone wants to add, btw, is revlazaro [/quote] Aye, Leaf was

[quote who="GreenReaper" reply="1" id="2143879"] The Dota are arming their routers. All power to the NAT traversers. The engine cannae' take it, Cap'n! Server capacity at 34% and falling. Impulse speed. All hands, brace for impact! [/quote] Gave me a chuckle and some good memories. [quote who="Silphius" reply="3" id="2143886"]Woo! We're rooting fo

At least they're waiting. I give them some props for that, it's a great game marred by small hitch.

[quote who="SmithJoe123" reply="8" id="2143671"] Quoting Cerulean_Shaman, reply 7 Explain the diversity in Dota? Because last time I played, all the pro's played a very select few heroes and played very well known and proven builds. Demigod is much more closer to Dota than people will admit, I personally think it's better. Some things are missing like more Demigods and different level themes (I actually love the current levels, but I would admit a

When you get around to adding modding support in the coming months (after all this calms down), they'll even be more from the community. *cough cough* *hint hint*

I'm still trying to figure out how rating a game, which should be on gameplay, art, design, level of fun, magically becomes a crappy game when you're having networking issues. By that same logic, World of Warcraft magically became crap (my personal opinion is that it was since Wrath, but moving on) the moment servers were down yesterday and that millions rerated the game and gave it low scores and decided it was too crappy to play anymore, but then magically rerated

[quote who="Weidbrewer" reply="3" id="2143639"] 2. Depends on sales. Liekly there would be micro-expansions a la Sins. They already have 2 more Demigods that they plan to give out free in a short time and 1 year of free updates.w Only one year of updates? Demigod is on a subscription basis? Huh. I had not heard that. [/quote] It's typical for most games not to have a long update lifetime (as it costs money for that team), they just do

[quote who="SuperMudkipz" reply="7" id="2143637"]yea i wonder what problems we could find if we could get to the gameplay [/quote] A lot of us already have. There aren't any outstanding ones, only slight improvements that could be made. The basics being more. More levels, more demigods, more items. These aren't issues though. The game is very well designed, just wish joining internet games would be a bit more smooth. Give them a week or two though, and it'll be fine.
