Reply to 1.2 online play... in Demigod Demigod Forums

So, much of this debate seems to center on people's beliefs and people's beliefs on other people's beliefs. That is to say. Player A believes his connection to other players is good. Player B believes that Player A has a connection that isn't good enough. To make any headway, I would suggest finding some tools that would measure bandwith. Demigods has relatively large demands for bandwith. Not only does it need fast connections, it needs reliable connections and lots o

Reply to The Big Update: "High End Favor Items" in Demigod Demigod Forums

For my vote, I'd suggest: Balance all of the items to be equally powerful Set all favor costs to be the same This way you can try out items with different strategies, and not merely save up until you can afford the best ones. It also doesn't penalize the newbies for having lows amounts of favor. I'd furthermore suggest that the blood of the fallen should cost 0 favor points. It would give newbies a good starting item to give them a solid starting

Reply to How do i get my mods working? in Demigod Modding Demigod Forums

It was suggested in the previous thread that the checksum for the dgdata.zip file is in the demigod executable. Furthermore it is visible and editable with a hexeditor. Supposibly one might extract all of the dgdata.zip files into your main demigods install and then create a dummy dgdata.zip that contains nothing. You should then be able to edit your files and have the mods show up. This, of course, will not be compatible with other players without similar files. It probably wil

Reply to Hey Stardock! Pacov says, "Would you please bring back skirmish?" Here's why... in Demigod Demigod Forums

Why not combine skirmish and Patheon? Have each player choose a side: Light or Dark (i.e., pantheon). When players choose to play, have them join a queue of players waiting to play (i.e., skirmish). When N players want to play, take them, divide them into two automatched teams. After the game, the winners get X points added to each of their respective sides. The important parts would be to get rid of the side specific teams and adding autobalancing teams.

[quote who="CosMoe" reply="70" id="2398215"]Queen of Thorns closed/open mode bug: QoT has a slightly decreased attack speed in closed mode. When going from closed to open mode the decreased attack speed stays (until level up). You would "kill two birds with one stone" if you would simply remove this effect because it would be a very small buff for QoT who really needs it. Her dps with level 20 would go from 271dps to 280dps; in comparison the other Demigod dps at level 2

Reply to QOT Buff - The specifics in Demigod Demigod Forums

I believe that a good vision would be useful for helping to figure out what enhancements should be made to the Queen of Thorns. There are many good suggestions listed in the previous posts, but they lack a coherent theme. Most of the posters agree on her weak spots and her strong spots, but disagree on how her abilities should be changed because they don’t have a good idea of what they want her to be. <p class="MsoNor

So, while not exactly relevant I have a story about people who would really benefit from this technology. I have some coworkers who aren't exactly computer people (they use macs, I don't think it is a coincidence). When they create a file, save a file, or really do anything with a file, they save the file to the desktop. I'm sure that everyone is familiar with messy desktops, so this isn't a big deal so far. Here is the hilarious part. They always do this, for virtually everything, fu

Finished updating Oak's text. I got an entire 2 opinions on the Soul Power Buff, so I'll defer to them for the moment and use version #1. I really don't like the text, it seems rather long and hard to figure out. I preferred version #3. There is a minor issue with the Soul Power Buff, on how the buff name is updated.

Reply to Erebus is just silly, help needed. in Demigod Demigod Forums

If I'm not mistaken, people are arguing that Oak should be the best demigod? If Lord Erebus is the only demigod that the Oak has a problem with, shouldn't we be looking into ways of nerfing the overpowered Oak (or buffing the other non-Erebus demigods)?

So, I'm working on the Oak and I have a preference question for folks. His Soul Power Ability is currently: "Oak's determination to his cause grows, increasing Weapon Damage by 20. Also, Oak gains additional Weapon Damage based on the number of spirits he has." This is obviously insufficient. The question is, what should I change it to. I have a couple of possible solutions. First, here is a table of the result of the buffs. <table bo

Lord Erebus is indeed really, really powerful. ese-ASH I think you'd be surprised at exactly how many abilites can be avoided. My hint is: Not as many as you currently think. The problem with converting everything back to health is that evasion depends upon your current level of armor. If you look at my chart with the rainbow colored lines, you'll notice that the lines get further apart as armor increases. This means that evasion is dependent upon armor and

Reply to "Your gaming Profile" lacks values choices in Ready to Play Stardock Forums

I'm a little uncertain about the revamp of the question. How many hours do people have to spend on gaming per week? If we look at the forum dwellers, the answer is around 19 hours per day, give or take a few. How about rewording it to ask not about the number of hours, but the number of games per week you'd want to play? Although that would be confounded with games Demigods versus games of Europa Universalis. In the end, I guess hours is still better than games, althou

A reoccurring fallacy in online gaming is the effect of reductions, specifically in the form of damage mitigation.

Shamblers versus Night Walkers in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

It is common knowledge that QoT builds focusing on Shamblers and Sedna builds focusing on Yeti's are rather bad, whereas Lord Erebus builds focusing on Night Walkers re pretty good. Why is this? The following should provide some insight. First, let's look at Shamblers and related skills. I'm ignoring Mulch which is very good, because it doesn't help the shamblers themselves become better.
