[quote who="Avalon" reply="22" id="2133689"]Gamestop.com and GameStop stores are sepearated entities. They did not break street date because there WAS no street date. [/quote] Gamestop bought out EB Games a while back, I thought? Or am I living in a different world?
[quote who="Demi-Guy" reply="9" id="2133636"] Quoting GreenReaper, reply 1 I think I-Dusk-I needs the extra practice, anyway - he won't be racking up favour points at this rate: Ok since i'm new at playing and all...how do you get more favor points....even though he won you definetly got more... [/quote] No, he won. That's why he got more points. He got 220 and they each got 10.
Good to know, thank you for the information. So it should only take a couple of hours at those speeds. I'm very impressed and very happy, looking forward to Monday\Tuesday even more now.
[quote who="GreenReaper" reply="1" id="2133594"]I think I-Dusk-I needs the extra practice, anyway - he won't be racking up favour points at this rate: [/quote] That level looks amazing! Still, stop teasing us, Green. Now I want to play.. Oh well, I work the next two days so if we do get to download Monday, at least I'll have my full weekend to play now.
There are a few posts that will give you an answer, but I'll make save you the trip. The game was supposed to release on the 14th, this coming Tuesday. By mistake, it was released earlier. The netcode isn't in place yet, so you won't be able to play online until Tuesday. Enjoy the game and wait until Tuesday.
[quote who="Ragarth" reply="5" id="2133577"]All pre-orders getting it on Monday? I'm glad for them... I just hope we beta testers don't need to fight with them for bandwidth Was nice getting it a day early, guess thats gone now... -Ragarth/Drexion [/quote] Anyone even know what infrastructure is being used? If it's p2p, won't be too bad.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="17" id="2133548"]In the meantime, if we verify that a substantial number of Gamestops are selling the game early, we'll be making the game available to those who pre-ordered on Monday. We'd do it today but our offices are closed and the servers are not fully enabled yet (since the release was supposed to be after Easter). [/quote] That's what I call a quality company. When this happened to Hellgate:London, Flagship just laughed and
[quote who="Yarlen" reply="15" id="2133533"]If somone who has bought a copy of Demigod from a retailer could send us a photocopy of their sales receipt, that would be very helpful as they are telling us this is all fantasy. Please send it to bclair@stardock.com. [/quote] I'll have my buddy let me photocopy the receipt and I'll send it to you. I'm sure the more examples you have the better you can argue your case.
[quote who="Neoauld" reply="13" id="2133512"]the collectors edition has a poster/action figure/sound track only right? nothing in game? [/quote] This is correct.
For gaming ram and video card always give the best increases in performance. If you fork over for 4 gigs of ram (ram is very cheap these days) and get a wolfdale cpu (3.0, dual core, about $50 bucks these days and currently the hotspot for gaming) all you'll ever need is to upgrade your video card every six months or so, maybe yearly (depending on which you get). This will last you quite a few years or until a big breakthrough happens. In your case, just get a better vi
[quote who="Jaradakar" reply="9" id="2133488"]Sounds like those stores are all breaking street date. It's not uncommon for stores to get the product prior to the stree date. This allows them to start selling day 1 without having to wait for a shipment to arrive. BUT... they're suppose to put the product in the back and NOT SELL it. Often times, if some breakes stree date, they as a company get fined $$$ and it opens the flood gates for

Wonder if it's too late to cancel my preorder..no offense to good 'ol Stardock, but if I can start playing now and get to practicing..why wait for them to start slowly passing out keys Tuesday and then spend most of the day downloading?

[quote who="Resist_The_Dawn" reply="22" id="2133308"]Hold on, The system requirements for demigod say 8 gigs of free hard drive space. How is the download only 2.8 gigs? And where do you see this version thats on impulse? [/quote] Very likely a compressed file, 3 gigs is about right for an 8 gig game.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="22" id="2133427"]We're investigating. Its street date is the 14th. [/quote] I actually had a friend call me and say he just picked it up; he was wondering if I had gotten the release date wrong. I've known him since highschool so I know he's not kidding. He works here with me so I'll see him in an hour or so to confirm it, but it seems true. No collector's edition though, just normal edition at the two eb's I've called and the one

On the 14th the great gates will open, the doubts thou hath will be cast away and only the light of the Demigods will remain. Your inactive key, gift earned, will burn brightly and blaze with power.. Then, and only then, will you know to which lock it belongs and thus be given the chance to wield it. So, I'm bored here at work. Slow day. Yes, basically it'll change on the 14th. EDIT: Darn, someone beat me to it.
I'll be in your game, stealing your flags.
Sorry to make a big deal about this, but I want toss out a huge "Thank you" for this because so few others will. It's something I honestly wish would become standard, and it's quite annoying because it's not. I have a group of friends that I play with, it's annoying that we all have to buy a game for just lan. For online play and single player and all the other goodies, fine, I understand, but for lan at least let us have our fun! I remember the days of
[quote who="Zeneroth" reply="24" id="2131111"] The creeps here is NOT that weak actually, here's the description since I heard you haven't play before. 1. Starting creep is only melee+archers. These are weak creep but you can't solo them by yourself at LV1. 2. Creeps can be upgrade to make them get new unit each wave, like get a priest that can heal demigods or the creeps themselves. The upgrade goes like this Priest >>> Angel >>> Catap
The end reason for why this bothers people is because "unique" makes games "fresh", and for far longer. Street Fighter 2 is an old game, it was fine back then with console limitations, but now the cast is far larger. It's a poor example, as is WoW. Wow also recieved flack for it's lack of classes as well, but that was until people found out that the talent trees gave you a lot of customization and each class already recieved like 40+ abilities, compared to ot
[quote who="ThaPlague" reply="19" id="2131138"] Quoting kryo, reply 16 Basically you just install/start up Impulse, click the Install button, and we pump the bits through the intertubes to your PC. Not anything amazing or strange involved, really Intertubes huh..... Never would have thought of that. I guess having my favorite Demigod bust through the door to deliver my game was asking a bit too much. <br
[quote who="Jaradakar" reply="14" id="2130932"] Quoting Cerulean_Shaman, reply 11 One thing I've heard complained about but not brought up is creeps. I haven't played, so disregard me if I'm wrong but from what I gather creeps are just fluff and fodder compared to Demigods, in other words a none-concern regardless of who you play.

One thing I've heard complained about but not brought up is creeps. I haven't played, so disregard me if I'm wrong but from what I gather creeps are just fluff and fodder compared to Demigods, in other words a none-concern regardless of who you play. I'd much rather they be very important. To the tune that lower level heroes have a hard time going at them alone. This, in my humble opinion, adds depth. In HOSK, building a hero to buff up creeps was deadly and using them as a shiel
I wouldn't mind more defensive heroes (love your builder hero idea frog, one of my favorite hero types), possibly some map control ones such as a frost warrior who can put up ice walls with a really long range on it or something akin to DoTA's Tinkerer with more than just Reg's mines . Variety in maps would be delicious, I agree with some adding some new region types: tropical\forest\sea maps. Item recipies would be nice too to co
So basically, we're getting serials throughout Tuesday, the release date, then downloading a several gig game before finally playing it? Bah, most digital downloads offer the game beforehand and then send you a serial to unlock to avoid several potential issues.. (*Recalls AoC preview weekend download fest nightmare*) Not sure how hammered the servers will be, but Tuesday is my "Sunday" and I was hoping I would actually get to play. Oh well, I suppo
