[quote who="DamienHellchaser2" reply="5" id="2108166"]wow micah if you are right with your calculations that is pretty scary.. maybe the citadel should be spell immune?[/quote] This is a start and I agree with it. I also think snipe needs to be changed to require some skill to use, but that's perhaps a bit much to ask at this point. Really just having it be ground targeted and it goes through everything in its path (with sli

[quote who="Annekynn" reply="11" id="2146479"] Well when a General can kick an Assassins butt without even relying on their army of units for assistance there are definately balance issues. Why play an inferior hero?[/quote] This is a misconception really. Generals were originally supposed to need their minions to get things done, but then the developers decided this would be too difficult to accomplish and now the Generals can essentially be played like Ass

QoT is very tough to kill if you play her right, but she's also probably the weakest Demigod in terms of killing opponents. She has very low weapon damage and even her offensive abilities lend themselves more to helping others kill (-armor and snare) than actually killing opponents herself. With Bramble shield she's a great supporter, and with Mulch and Shamblers she can keep herself alive even longer, but you could hardly ever call her a "WTF" Demigod. In fact, at t

Well, I think he meant that with all of the various abilities / hero types in DotA, the only place the devs really need to look for inspiration is DotA. That doesn't mean they should copy DotA, but that there are a lot of really cool abilities and basic hero ideas in DotA that would work well, with some tweaking, in Demigod.

I have a question about the pirate users: I realize this game doesn't use DRM, but doesn't it do a CD Key check when you log into online? That seems like a no-brainer when it comes to protection against the sort of problems you're having. Sure, people can make a CD Key generator or something eventually, but I'm sure having a unique CD Key check would at least prevent the 80k plus pirates you have playing the game online days after release.

Yeah, if the purpose of reviews is to give consumers advice about buying a game or not, the review should be based on how the game is at the time of the review. As such, it would have been irresponsible for Gamespot to give the game a positive review given the current problems. That said, Gamespot should check back again in another couple weeks, month or so at most and try reviewing it again. But unless GPG adds a significant amount of content from now until

Reply to Gamespot Review: 6.5 in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think they were a bit harsh, but you know, I think at the same time that it's kind of fair. They're totally right. Demigod has a GREAT foundation, with awesome visuals and sounds. The gameplay is simple yet has an element of complexity (which can easily be built upon) and is definitely addictive. The problem? There's not much else to it. Pick any other game that you pay $40-60 dollars for and you'll get a lot more content. Sure, I'm

[quote who="Cerulean_Shaman" reply="2" id="2141176"] I agree, I think she lends naturally towards defense and support but you need good team mates or it won't matter much. If you find any good damage builds, let me know.[/quote] Personally I've found if you focus on Ground Spikes and the other aimed spike attack (forget the name) and get bramble shield / stat boost on in-between levels, you can be pretty effective offensively.

Reply to TB vs. other DGs. in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="Jaxian" reply="1" id="2140329"]Frost TB's damage was significantly decreased in the last patch before release. I've only tried him once since then, but he definitely isn't nearly as powerful as he was in beta. Now the benefit in playing frost TB is the debuffs that his skills apply, and I really think that with the new changes, frost is definitely an assist path that, hopefully, helps out more in a group battle.[/quote] This is the way it should

[quote who="Luminance" reply="2" id="2135668"] I believe the uneven teams are a function of the game thinking you are that awesome though , but I can't be 100% sure. This is true. The higher you are ranked, the more likely you are to land yourself in a one-man-team. ... And vice versa.[/quote] That's silly, the matchmaking system should never give you uneven matches.

The best way to prevent people from pirating games is to include ongoing content and other online features that require a certified cd-key. Demigod has both of those things, so I'm not too worried about a lot of people pirating it. In any case, I think that the vast majority of the time, the people who pirate games wouldn't have bought the game anyway if they couldn't have downloaded it for free, so it's not a huge deal. That's not to say it's acceptab

Starcraft is so interesting to watch and play because the counters are not very hard. They're a lot harder than the counters in WC3, though, which I think takes soft-counter balance too far. I've enjoyed games with hard counter systems (like the Age of Empires games), but I find that battles in games with softer systems are usually a lot more exciting because it's more about how you use your units and less about which units you have. Of course this is all

Will depend on what schoolwork I have that day. These days tend to be pretty busy for me. Nevertheless, I'll try to get some games in as soon as the game launches. I'm tempted to try out the new Erebus, but I'll probably end up playing Oak, Sedna, or maybe QoT. The noobs will be playing the Assassins and I'm hoping with the day 0 changes the infamous trifecta won't be auto-win anymore.

With snares capped at 33% Regulus will be MUCH more manageable. Only thing left is to change Snipe so that it requires more skill and is therefore less abusable, especially in team games. I really like the idea of forcing players to actually aim snipes. Leading targets would be awesome.

[quote who="DalzK" reply="3" id="2131464"] Don't get me wrong, I understand that completly. In both HOSK and DoTA Heroes were obviously far more powerful than creeps, especially as time went by. But never were they something you could just ignore and never did there have to be a tower nearby before you worried about them. Seeing a soft, delectable caster hiding among a group of creeps and knowing that jumping in meant certain death made the game deeper. You could lead the
