Add a few different ping options for the map - each with either different sound FX(possibly even vocal) or map ping graphics/colours. ie: ATTACK HERE DEFEND HERE REGROUP HERE It allows an easy one click way to communicate with teammates who are not using voice comms(ie pugs) And secondly - and i cant see this ever happening - allow the ability to draw a line on the minimap that fades after a few seconds - perfect for co-ordinating attack p

There's a webpage around here somewhere where you can actually see the game stats of what's running and what's open etc. We were considering upgrading to the beta last night but there were way more non-beta than beta users so we decided to stick with the main release as i dont believe you can roll it back once upgraded. Our problem is there's few enough aussies playing nights as is, didnt want to risk halving that yet again until the majority are either beta or the same version.
They might get a bunch of sales because of this. [e digicons]*_*[/e]
Yeah im sick of 2v2's too - they take forever. Though i am usually forced to play them in custom as we can rarely get 3v3's with the connection issues. Tip re: 2v2 custom - if you really want to make it play better, change the gamespeed to fast. IMO it adds a whole new level to the gameplay, is a lot faster, and a LOT more intense.
[quote who="Spooky" reply="1" id="2183258"] The changes will com next week. Why are you still complaining?[/quote] I think from my post it's pretty obvious what my complaint is, Fanboy.
I hope this resolves it for i am almost at my wits end. Practically me and every other aussie player I know spend HOURS literally every night TRYING to play. It is seriously the biggest joke of an online gaming system i have seen in a very long time. *edit - how does giving us a coupon to buy another copy of the game thank us for the pain we have had to endure? How about allowing US to have 50% refunded for our pain. I swear to god, if i was working for you with the hou
It's not telling a story or grabbing interest or anything. Even if i hadnt played the game this video wouldn't do much for me. Like i said before, it's just completely uninspired. I'd be taking a little extra time with something like this and be like what someone else said, more dynamic, better camera angles, so some diversity, some real action.....when this is all people have to go by, you wonder why people Pirate it to check it out first...
This and the unclean beast vids are kinda..uninspired.
Nah i think you guys don't understand what I mean exactly - these arent _game-breakingly_ powerful, they're just a better more class defined skill that should be the kind of thing you're seeing with the higher level demigods For example - Sedna might channel a really strong AOE heal for 5-10 seconds that might be pivotal in a fight for healing her ally demigods - however if you hit her it's interupted etc. In no way would these skills be massively overpowe
[quote who="AngryZealot" reply="1" id="2176808"] Erobus - i wouldn't have a clue with him as I haven't played him once yet. Summoning 40-50 Rolly Pollies seems fitting. Unclean Beast has an aoe (much bigger graphically) version of his main spit skill that targets a number of units Why not a tongue lasso? I agree that super abilities would be cool. Maybe as a reward for reaching level 20, no points needed (you
One thing about Demigod that i really think is lacking are powerful abilities - both graphically and what they can achieve. Before you go "but but but artifacts!!' let me explain: When you get to the end of the skill trees you can drop a point in a skill which should by all counts be the 'ultimate' skill in that line. When you get there, you're pretty deep into the game so you would expect as your Demigod gets more and more powerful, the type of skills he's using in the latter half of
Jesus once said, "If there was no DOTA there'd be likely no Demigod."
Not that i've played DOTA In years, but I'd prefer to stick with this game as it moves forward.
You need to be able to view your skill tree or the citadels one when dead. Sure you shouldnt be able to edit or use them while dead as a penalty, you should be able to at least see them though imo.
[quote who="Somazx" reply="22" id="2174641"] I swear it's refreshing to see the head of a company actually make almost daily highly informative, highly honest posts and keep us completely in the loop. As much as Frogboy's approach to business is fresh and welcome .. I'm not paying for that. I want a functioning game. Nobody should feel obligated to buy the game just because it is DRM free and the devs are "good guys". NPD numbers for last week showed the game was 3r
1. When clicking on a players name to private message them, greatly increase the size of the text box - the current one is ridiculously small. 2. When private messaging someone, allow an option such as /w (/whisper) or /t (tell) or some kind of abbreviation so you can /message player_name message. Much easier than the current click on a players name box. 3. Allow the ability to chat to ALL or TEAMMATES only. 4. Allow the option to add a player in the pre-game screen to
[quote who="si1foo" reply="19" id="2174137"]i got dow2 but the multi sucks it takes me longer to get into a ranked game on there then it does to get into and start a game on dg [/quote] Completely disagree with this, DoW2's matchmaking is on average minutes at most. DG has litterally taken hours to get a game working on some nights.
This game is great, but the multiplayer lobby side of things is ridiculously bad. In this day and age we should NOT be experiencing this type of issue. I mean - multiplayer RTS is not a new concept or anything. At the _very least_ the ability to join games and get them started should be flawless. Then if the game lags ingame or has other issues, so be it - no game is completely immune from them. Look at other titles - dawn of war 2 being one of the most recent. What issues affect it?
[quote who="Istrebitel" reply="16" id="2172620"] The game is highly imbalanced. Ever see QoT picked? Its never. Torch bearer and Sedna are also seldom picked. But you will see armies of Unclean beasts and that vampire imba character picked, every game. [/quote] Cant agree with this. Usually see a pretty healthy mix of all 8 demigods personally. Don't see as many Sedna's, true, but i have seen some absolute badass Torchbearer and Queen of thorns. Qo
[quote who="Istrebitel" reply="6" id="2172637"]Well, if i could play pirated one i would not buy it, i would pirate it. I only bought because it wont work with that hamachi crap. People here make arguments like "Get used to buying shit, they'll fix it later". Hey, do you make shitty job and get payed? How about you skip job and still get payed? How about you come to a new job and suck at it, do no good but still get payed because "you will improve later"? <
I usually play from 9:30ish onwards. Seems to be quite a few aussies around but yeah there's definite connectivity issues for us. It can be a real prick filling a 3v3 game - almost like the second coming of christ if you can fill a 4v4. It's not so much that there's not enough people, it's more that they can hardly ever all connect to each other. You get things like a guy will tell his friend who he plays a lot with to come join, and the guy magically cant join for absolutely no
Dunno, i play with so many different people i can never remember their names as people are constantly dropping in and out of the lobby, games constantly being rehosted etc - cant wait for these damned connection issues to be resolved.
Seems to be more and more floating around now - had some good low latency games last night - you can play with 3-400 ms pings but christ the game is so nice and smooth with all 100ms and below pings. Anyone know what the street date for the game is? Hopefully more aussies turn up - particularly once the connection issues are sorted. Playing is still mostly pain in the face to get organised. I reckon last night spent around 1.5 hours in the lobby trying to get things sta
Would it be better to allow the Ai player to be either a higher difficulty setting(ie hard) or controllable by the other players?
[quote who="Mordeinn" reply="22" id="2172059"]Honest ? I bought the game thinking there was some roleplaying part in it while in fact there is none. The game is fine but in the end its just a run for who get the biggest artefact first. No campaign, no tutorial, I say I got ripped off. Next time I'll download my games for free first then I'll see if its worth my money. [/quote] Have you played DOTA before? If not I can see where you're coming from. The game is liter
