Me neither, but it's very unlikely that all the "Assassins" have just enemy-killing skills. It would make the assassin role a bit repetitive, don't you think? I believe that a part of them will have some kind of empowering, recovering or supporting skills, and that's why their name won't fit their role, if it's left like this.
It would be nice but as far as I know some people in the Beta are from US, Canada, Germany, UK, Italy, Singapore, New Zeland... hard to arrange a meeting! :(
Well, I am inside the dota community since a long time and all the people interested in Demigod seems to understand that it won't be a Dota-reissue. Dota really is a great and addicting game, the fact that its community is full of flaming kids must not mislead your judgement. If Demigod really has some elements of it (like teamplay-heroes concepts, exp system etc.), it would be nice to tribute Dota with at least a cameo! :)
I don't like the "Assassin" term either, it's very misleading in my opinion. From what we got to know, not every Assassin will have a killing role. "Assassin" term may or may not mean "sneaky", but for sure it is related with kills. I strongly hope there will be some [B]support-type[/B] Demigods, even healers maybe. So how would you call them? "Healing Assassins"? "Support Assassins"? That sounds weird ;) "Champions" or "Heroes" show very well their soloing/non-G
Personally, I like the idea of a Dota cameo, a lot of players heard about Demigod in the Dota community, so I think it could be very nice! :) What's all this grudge towards Dota? You say Demigod draws inspiration from many games, well, one of them for sure is Dota, and that was announced since the beginning, so cut the hate.
...that we didn't play anyway so EPIC FAIL! We'll have to organize a new one for the next weekend and we have to be at least 8-10 players for a private, going pubs is just pointless imo.
