Hiya, I am curious to know why the process Fences.exe loads every 1 hour for about 10 seconds. What exactly is the purpose of this process? I did not come across information to why this happens and i am certain that it isn't related to updates as automatic updates have been been unchecked. What is the reason that fences.exe loads every hour?
[quote quoting="post"] I just reread the advert/preorder site for Demigod and couldn't help but laugh when I saw that 'Advanced AI' is listed in the features list. [/quote] I wouldn't take anything you read about Demigod during pre-order too literally, that is where most of my disappointment arises from. If you want to try and enjoy the game you have to ignore everything you read about it and accept it for what it is right now, not what it was supposed to be.
Stacking up on more Favor items will cause some people to play the game alot more just to unlock those items for themselves, but in the end that does not improve on how bland the game is. The main problem i see is that they made a mistake being too much like DoTA yet at the same time trying not to be. They either should have replicated it more closely or strayed much further away from it. Demigod is now in the middle of DoTA and a RTS game and results in nothing. People who are experi
Soccer194, you are just being Ignorant. You were never in a position of being kicked out of most online games because your ping was always over 200 to the majority of the players, so don't act like you are above it all please. When you have experienced many years of constantly getting kicked out of online games because there are barely any non-american players/servers or because they themselves are ignorant to the fact that hey! there are actually people outside of North America, then it star
2v2 zzz Uninteresting.
Thanks for clearing this up. @Frogboy: Will the next balance patch be using this new method or will it stick to the old one?
Anyone have an idea why we pretty much have to redownload the entire game for each minor patch? It would make sense from Beta 2 -> 3 but 3 -> 3a with barely any additional content in it yet is so massive. I'm sure there is some reason for it but i am just curious as some people have a limited download quota per month and having to redownload the entire game once a week puts a dent in it. Cheers
After a month of inactivity, I am curious to know if people's opinions on Generals have changed, if they like how they are now or if different mechanics such as this one should be taken into consideration?
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="20" id="2071245"] But those 5% will need to work with us to find out what we can do to make sure we can work with their systems[/quote] I have participated in a few test sessions previously with Cari_elf i believe while on the IRC server, i hoped that any information from those tests helped in all the problems i have been having trying to connect to people. Those tests at that time seemed to have a 100% connection rate regardless that i was so distant
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="2071255"] Each time we do a beta, we always get people who think the beta should be some sort of demo.[/quote] I expected nothing of a Demo when i signed up to the Beta Test, i expected actually Beta Testing the game with other's online Edit: Well speaking of successfully playing a game from outside of the US, typical American mentality was shining today as i tried to have my first game of Beta 3. I was impressed when i was able to join
[quote who="Soccer194" reply="2" id="2069803"]pre order now because i think they stop giving acess in like 6 days.[/quote] Yeah, they have been saying that since December so i wouldn't take that into consideration. It seems that the Beta is not going as well as it was intended with many technical bugs causing the experience to be sour and unrewarding for a group of people. At the risk of yourself not falling into that category i would just hold out until the game is stable (released)
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="18" id="2071183"] Since we can get 5 on 5 games going in a mixed network environment with people from around the country, you may want to seriously look at your network configuration and work with us.[/quote] Unfortunately the player base for Beta testing Demigod spans out much further then your own country. I wouldn't just blame other people's network configurations.
[quote who="Exile96" reply="2" id="2053437"] Also, if you compare UT to CS you are really dumb and probably should not be playing either.[/quote] That was my whole point, even though they are the same genre, you can barely compare them as they are so different. Get a brain before you quote any of my posts please.
You sound alot like i did a month ago, all excited to participate in this Beta Test but i was only left with the "Trying to Connect" screen day after day and then joining a game and getting unplayable lag or desyncs. Was i wrong to get frustrated after 2 weeks of trying to play a full online game and wasting hours a day starting at the game lobby? I found it particularly insulting when the developers referred to these frustrated people and myself as "newbie beta testers", saying for some reas
[quote quoting="post"] I'm a hardcore DOTA player and I thought I might enjoy playing this game too, so does anyone here played DOTA and what do you think about it?[/quote] If you are only interested in this game because you love DoTA then you will be Disappointed. I am not saying that Demigod will not be a good game but this just is not DoTA... it looks "something like it" but in the end it is a different game and shouldnt be judged as a DoTA clone. It's l
[quote who="BulletMagnet" reply="12" id="2036564"]i believe a cunning developer can stop this insurrection in it's tracks by answering these two questions.[/quote] Exactly, all we want is some sort of feedback from the developer's side or perhaps some reasoning behind some of their decisions. We are all here because we care, I don't think any of us are wishing anything bad upon the development of the game. My problem is that i care too much about Demigod and i want it to be the best g
[quote who="PossiblyImpossible" reply="11" id="2036510"] You invite somebody to your unfinished house - to give you feedback on how things are coming along, maybe tell you how the floor plan might be improved, perhaps let you know if you're making any really big mistakes - and then all they do is complain that the house isn't finished yet. "Gee, I should probably stop going into unfinished houses. I can see through the walls and there's always sawdust everywhere. P
[quote who="mcmjon" reply="5" id="2035668"] Frog is right. We shouldn't ask what demigod can do for us, but what we can do for demigod. Like contributing ideas, creating mods[/quote] Take Generals gameplay mechanics for example, many people have contributed opinions and idea's on how to change Generals into actual GENERALS and not Assassin's with a few minions, then we hear a quote saying that the Developers are fine with how they see Generals and will not change how they are pla
Maybe i need to stop pre-ordering games, they always turn out a major disappointment (ie. Age of Conan). The price i pay for trying to get involved in the community before the game is released and not playing the game 1 month after release because the game is nothing like it should be or was promised to be.
[quote who="bennnnny" reply="6" id="2035391"]however i did not realise at first that the demigods are split into generals and assasins [/quote] It's ok, they are nearly identical so it is a common mistake. Unclean Beast (Assassin) and Regulus (Assassin) are more different then Unclean Beast (Assassin) and Erebus (General). Given the promises on how the Demigod Assassin/Generals mechanics are so different and of the previews on the game I find it impossible for such similari
[quote who="Xan25" reply="20" id="2034233"]How about a Hero Arena Stratagy Game (HASG) a little far fetched, but it encompesses a little of everything that has shown up. Although I don't love it, at least it works.[/quote] The letter G does not have to be in the actual Genre of the game. It can just be HAS, better to stick to the common 3 letter acronyms. Maybe even Hero Strategy Game HSG.
[quote who="teiman" reply="3" id="2033216"]Wooot!. Seems I am not the only one, but also seems other people can play the game. So how? do you have to live near the central server... [/quote] Well i am pretty much on the other side of the world (Australia), even though i am used to generally lagging and having a high ping on most online games, i think my issues with connecting to games may also be tied in with this. Although, in some tests i performed with Cari_Elf wi
We don't really need more beta testers, we just need the people who are already here to be able to connect to games and be able to play in order to post more feedback on the game. Heavenfall is correct, at this point in time there is no way this game should be released to the public, it would only lead to major disappointment.
[quote who="Blitz64" reply="3" id="2033584"]"Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA)"[/quote] Clearly the coolest name of the bunch. It basically is what it says it is. Calling Demigod a (Insert Word Here) Real Time Strategy could tend to be misleading to some people as everyone has their interpretation of what a RTS game is.
[quote who="JinxOfSin" reply="14" id="2030204"]This totally reminds me of warlords battlecry. Even the picture of the command radius [/quote] Well yeah, Warlords Battlecry was a great and very underrated game which had many good idea's that were stolen for use in games such as Warcraft 3. It was pretty much my inspiration of using this idea for Demigod, as Warlords Battlecry used this type of mechanic flawlessly and im sure that yourself and those who have played Warlords Battle
