I completely agree, and I already covered this in my crowd control thread (which was basically ignored). I'll summarize: - All stuns limited to ~2 seconds. Point is that stuns should be used to interrupt enemies, not incapacitate them for long periods. - Once you're stunned you can't be stunned again for at least 5 seconds. I know some people will say that this is too extreme, that stuns should just not be able to overwrite

Playerbase: This is totally a guess, but I'm expecting to see anywhere from 2k-5k online at any given time, perhaps a bit more right around release time. Similar numbers played AoE3 online (on ESO2). This game could exceed or fall short of those numbers, though, it's just a guess.

[quote who="ToxDrawace" reply="20" id="2112027"]I agree that was a weak anology, but the point I was trying to make was that Demigod isn't supposed to be a DotA clone. It has some similarities, but it's meant to have differences. Just because some idea or concept is in DotA, doesn't mean that it is right for Demigod.[/quote] I agree, but I also think that it's not always wrong to draw comparisons between the two, since they are similar, whether people like it or not.&nb

Yeah, the host should be able to manually move around players, and moving one player into another's slot should simply switch them.

[quote who="pakoito" reply="5" id="2112122"] Yes we did, shift+tab brings up an ingame IRC windows where you join the #Demigod channel to ask for a game, pretty much as an ALT+Tab if you play Garena.[/quote] Ah okay. Still, it's difficult to speak to the full functionality of the online client at release, since we've been given a fairly bare-bones client for beta.

[quote who="Ke5trel" reply="5" id="2112147"]PI - I don't think you are a troll at all. You started to get a bit repetitive at some point, but all in good humor. The real trolls are going to descend like a hoard of locusts and strip this forum bare oO [/quote] We're all getting repetitive - but it's towards the end of Beta, so it's not surprising. :) I know I'm not a troll, and they'll know it too, once the aforementioned horde of locusts

I think the cinematics etc. just make it seem like the proportions are a lot different. That was pretty much my first point of confusion when I started playing - I felt like most things ought to be a lot bigger with the exception of the Rook (who was already collossal and now even larger). I think the scale is staying pretty much as is, though. The creeps are meant to be miniscule and easy to murder en-masse (as opposed to most RTS and the way that a certain unmentio

[quote who="Ke5trel" reply="25" id="2112062"] Maybe we should put in a subthread - "[x poster] is a troller mctrollerson. Troll." I keed I keed, but guys let's not turn this thread into any of the threads it's about [/quote] Heh. Well, troll accusation posts usually only come within posts. For every actual troll post, there will be posts accusing others of being trolls without justification. All I can say

[quote who="Fred_Bonaparte" reply="14" id="2111463"] By the way, there seems to be in this forum a new form of Godwin's Law where Demigod is compared to SC2 and/or DOTA[/quote] And yet another law where the mere mention of either of these two terms, regardless of context, elicits a "Demigod is totally different! You can't make that comparison!" response (case in point - http://forums.demigodthegame.com/343994).

[quote who="DalzK" reply="15" id="2110304"] But whats the point of even mentioning SC2 if its coming out in one - two years? Thats like saying if Demigod fails I will buy Warcraft 4 (because WC4 will come out in ages, it sounds stupid to say that).[/quote] SC2 is coming out at the end of this year (beginning of next year at the latest). Beta is beginning most likely in a couple weeks. In any case, that's irrelevant. He wasn't even being en

The AI cannot be involved in anything that is to be taken at all seriously in a competitive way.

A piece of advice: When asking about the game, don't mention DotA. Generally speaking, you'll get more productive answers that way. In response to your other questions: 1) There will most likely be more Demigods (not heroes) coming in later additions to the game, whether free content patches or expansions (probably in both). 2) There will be a built in tournament system. 3) As for lag, I'd say it probably will be better.

[quote who="ToxDrawace" reply="13" id="2110818"] as for things that you miss from DotA... this isn't DotA. When talking about starcraft, I could say the thing I miss from Empire Earth is being able to advance my civlization. No one would ever expect that in Starcraft 2 you'd be able to advance your civilization, because its simply a different game.[/quote] Very weak analogy. I won't bother arguing the point, though, since apparently the mere mention of anyt

I don't know, but it's not a bad idea. Another thing worth asking is if we'll be able to watch replays online with other people. That's something I really appreciated in the original Starcraft that I haven't seen in any other RTS since.

Ahh okay. Well that's a map issue then. And yes, I've noticed some issues with Crucible besides this one. Seems like a tough one to balance.

Hrm. Interesting point. It seems like this would only be a problem on a large map, though. What are your ideas for ways to make stalemates less of a problem? I've had games that last a long time because it's very close, but I'm not sure how that can really be helped balance wise....if players are close in skill, the game is naturally going to last a lot longer.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but won't Pantheon matches be all-humans come release? It was my understanding that the AI were just there for testing purposes. If that's not the case, I am concerned by this as well...Pantheon matches can't count towards ranking at all if AI are involved. In fact, if AI is a part of Pantheon matches it will not be taken seriously by anybody besides casuals / noobs who don't mind playing against AI.

[quote who="DatonKallandor" reply="10" id="2111334"] Neither of those things are true - they have a cohesive art style (less so for Warcraft 3), however technically, they were underpowered even at the time of their release.[/quote] Agreed, Blizzard purposefully doesn't make games with great graphics because they want people with older machines to be able to play them. Mass appeal, that's what Blizzard is all about. Blizzard games

[quote who="Xan" reply="2" id="2111065"]PI, this is why people don't take you seriously. You go from post to post trolling. [/quote] LOL, so to suggest that somebody wouldn't like this game is trolling? My post included both people who will love the game and people who will be somewhat disappointed by it. This is trolling? Please. All I can say is that there's not much hope for the community of this game

[quote]Good job missing the point - even if the comparison was valid despite the genre difference (hint: it isn't), there'd still be no point of comparing them. There is no way SC2 will not outsell every other RTS/non-FPS. It will on the power of the Blizzard brand alone - there's no point in bringing it even up because it's success is 100% guaranteed irregardless of actual quality.[/quote] No, you missed the point. He only said "if I'm wrong I'll buy you SC2." He NE

[quote who="SH0DAN" reply="2" id="2109619"]currently this would be having 3x+ reguluses on a single team on teamspeak coordinating snipes ^.^ But once they balance out that cheeze it'll prolly be something like a tb/rook freeze hammer slam combo or similar. Basically any stun/nuke combo == ganking in demigod. However unlike many games we also have a defence or two in the form of QOT's barrier and the Oak's shield spells. (Among others)
