[quote]I find it hard to really critique a game when we are only given half-versions of it. A great beta to me would be one where they have the game ready and are WILLING to make changes to the game play. Only company out there that will do this is Blizzard though. Blizzard has been doing this from the start as well it isn't just because they make insane amounts of money from WoW.[/quote] No, a great beta is where they have a game that ISNT ready, but are willing to make changes.

ya most betas when they first release multiplayer lobbies dont have chat, but 100% it will have one when its out :)
I know exactly what you meen. Comebacks will be much harder...I think. We will have to try it out
There lots of assasin AoE spells that destroy grunts :D
Yea I like the idea :)
Yea I like your idea sliperrysnake but if they forced teams to be more diverse i think that would be even better...especially to all you people complaining about having only 8 demigods and boring match ups.... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! [e digicons]}:)[/e]
Well if they kept suiciding at you..5 of them, you would get a lot of gold which then would allow you to purchase health upgrades on your citadel and offensive items to kill the oaks before they reached the citadel. Also if they strat was to just rush at your citadel if you waited for them higher up the map and took them out early then they would get completey destroyed. Again however, completely theoretical...and ill be honest, I havent played enough Beta 2 to say much...so it might not work
[quote who="mcmjon" reply="12" id="2011183"] Quoting DalzK, reply 10If anything i think 5 DG stacking the same abilities would be easier to counter, whereas 5 different DG's working together would be a lot harder to counter. This is wrong. I can guarantee that you would rather face a diverse team of cordinated character classes over 5 regulus syncers. Has anyone here played a skill based pvp game where you've experienced a situation similar to the 5 regulus sync skill sta
If anything i think 5 DG stacking the same abilities would be easier to counter, whereas 5 different DG's working together would be a lot harder to counter. This all sounds interesting theoratically but I think we really need to try it out to see if its effective..and it might be.
I think programs such as vent and teamspeak are best at this. Games try to put VoiP in and it never works... E.G CnC3...
To Original Thread Starter: Did you read the notice saying that beta 2 is NOT balanced yet and that stuns ARE too OP? They are working on it...this is what beta's are for.
Hmmm...people really love to compare this game to DotA :P Anyway the developers have said loads of times that they are not making this like DotA...they were just inspired by it at the start.
Hmmm we were promised a Beta that was a bit more balanced...I understand Beta 1 being like this but Beta 2 shud be more balanced :( Anyway thanks for updates..have to wait to january to try it :P
A player should always have to think carefully about his choices and make sacrifices when these choices are made if the game is to be fun. I think we should stop comparing this game so much to mmorpg, and more to RTS. If you can just pick Hammer Smash, and then unpick it whenever you like, then did the player even have to think about his choice of picking hammer smash? or just midlessely pick it, knowing that he would not have to sacrfice anything when he did pick it up and could simply unpic
If you just camp in one game you will get no points....therefore this wont be a problem. "Maybe Im completely wrong. But items that last are for tournaments and campaign only I beleive. In normal matches everyone starts at the same playing feild. because if it was like what your saying than people who play alot will rule and those who dodn't will lose. Orlean knight I think has a large post about the game I suggest u read no offense I asked alot of stupid questions. This one isn't but
8 unique Demigods > 1000 Similar Demigods. If you want to play with 93 similar similar heroes instead of 8 unique ones, 4 assasins, 4 generals, than go back to DotA. Here we prefer quality of quantity :) And Jinx...you talking about how Demigod doesnt have as much variety and customization - IT ALREADY DOES, and the game is still in ints ENGINE TEST PHASE!!! The developers have even stated this phase isnt even meant to be enjoyable, yet each Demigod still has more d
Awsome interivew! Like the sound of the multiplayer so far...and the tournament taking place over a few months etc. Sounds like its gunna be great when its done. Ummm though im a bit worried at the end when he says "these updates/downloadable content will take place over the next year or so afterwards.." Hope that was really vague and the "next year or so" means a lot longer than a year. If you want this game to be successful and competitve we need more than a year of balanc
Wow really nice article/round about. Great job man!
It will be released not this thursday, but next - I can garuntee it :) If not then 100% the thursday after.
Cant deny Bnet is the master :)
champ_1 if you've been following the updates you'll know that demigod does have an actual rts part to it. And I would rather they took forever and got it right then rushed it and got it wrong. Everyone cries and complains when there is unbalance/bugs in a game - well if u want the game to be balanced and unubggy let them take their time :) However some more updates on how Beta 2 is looking would shorten the wait for us all :P
Its true that calling the game LoL...is just a joke...(pun not intended :P ) Tbh from what ive seen it looks nearly identical to DotA and characters are really unattractive. It will only mainly attract die-hard DotA fans and wont rlly attract many ppl away from demigod
agreed nice suggestion :)
yup very nice interview :) Loving the direct control of general units :P And Heavenfall your looking into the fact he didnt mention DotA WAY too much..he was just trying to explain it quickly.
They mentioned its not in its final version yet. I think if they finish it off and use up all the space and make it look pretty, should be fine :)
