Ppapa was right IMO, high gold helps Oak chainlock game tremendously since its that much easier for him to get journeyman's. Without his booties, he has to walk up to your portal (slowly!) and lock, instead of porting in and running. Much easier to take your portal back in normal games methinks.

Nobody for the Commissioner of Balance idea? Kinda realizing you guys just wanna debate how the game should be balanced ad nauseam and that you're not really interested in making compromises that could actually get a balance mod installed and breath new life into this game. I'm out. Gonna be in DoW II: Retribution beta February 1 anyway.
Demigod Forums
Yup. Thats why I suggested the Commissioner of Balance idea. I don't care whether its Pacov, Hedgie, Cow, Nom, Miri, whomever... hell, we don't have to vote, y'all can just draw straws or something. Someone should just make some changes and if it gets implemented then great. If its implemented and a funner way to play the game then we all will be better off than before even if the changes don't meet our individual expectations. Edit: Miri, you seem to have th

Ummm... I'm with Pacov in that I'm not quite loving the Mark of the Betrayer interrupt idea. In Fact I hate it. What was wrong with putting it on snipe? I think a good player player could utilize that ability extremely well to back up an ally with a long distance interrupt. Say my Occulus has someone on the ropes and I'm worried about them porting out. My Regulus targets with a snipe, then cancels. Targets with his snipe again immediately, sees that this

Pacov: I think Cow has a point about the mines being overpowered and underpowered in all the wrong ways depending on the specific way you want to buff them... which I don't believe you've stated yet. Do you want a .1 second stun or interrupt? Remember, there is a difference. :) If its only a .1 second stun, then why are you bothering wanting to change anything like that? Its almost completely inconsequential in portal locking fights. Might get Reg a kil

Don't worry Cow, at least you're relatively young so its not as bad when people say you talk like a 14 year old.

[quote who="OMG_pacov" reply="12" id="2874382"] pretty sure frost nova is both a stun and interrupt. [/quote] Negative. No Demigod truly has two interrupts since Silence and Frost Nova really don't qualify. Of course, Silence III lasts longer than some abilities cooldowns so in some instances it may as well be one.

Thanks for the answer Exx. Disappointing though...
If there was a similar game that had all of Demigod's fun, addicting qualities and none of its frustrating shortcomings, i would be playing it and not posting this right now. I hear Valve is working on a similar type of "DotA" style game and the rumor is that they actually willingly support their games post release. All the other games in the genre that have come out so far, I hear have been extremely disappointing.
Demigod Forums
I'm confused on what is being suggested as their is a huge difference between interrupts and stuns and abilities that are both. Why is Ice TB considered tier meh and Lord Erebus tier 1? Because Frost Nova is just a stun, not an interrupt unlike Mass Charm which I believe is both. To those of you who don't know the difference, it is that if I cast Frost Nova during your casting of an ability, you have to wait until the 1 second stun wears off before attempting to use it aga

I don't have the computer hacking skills that some of the modders and programmers in this community that have created all the mods for this game, so I don't know if this is even possible... but could there be a mod where you could take over control of a Demigod for an AI team mate? And then be able to switch back to your own? I imagine the effort might be considerable, more so than would be reasonable to ask from the people who've already been too generous with their spare time

The community has become small enough that some things have worked themselves out on there own. For instance, a tactic was developed while you were gone where a Minion Oak would send his spirits straight at the citadel after killing the towers that lead up to it. The strategy is cheesy but fortunately you don't see it anymore, possibly because if an Oak on my team started doing it I would quit on them and maybe a lot of other people feel the same way... or maybe the stat whores
Ehhh... I remember a dude from South Africa trying to play online and not having much success cause of lag issues. Maybe he lived in an area with a funky connection but don't get your hopes up on getting in on any online games. Of course, maybe you could play with the Euros in a decently lag free game...
Heal III's value comes mostly from washing away damage dealing/multiplying effects such as Pent, Ground Spikes, Spit, etc and snares/debilitating effects such as Rain of Ice and all 20 abilities that slow you and your allies down. If its later game and a 3v3 brawl is going on, and the enemy is focusing on one of your allies and just melts them it's not going to go over very well when you tell them "I don't need Heal III cause I have Bishops + HW..." 3v3 battle and the other te
I didn't put Rook on the Easier To Begin With Guide since he relies on team mates to TP to his tower farm when theres a concentrated effort to gank him. At DesConnor's level of play and those that he will be playing with and against, he wouldn't know whether him dying as Rook was his fault or not.
Hey, I played in a game with you the other night and you did quite well considering how few games you played. I'd get a few more games in before you tried to play the Queen of Thorns, she is very difficult to play well even though Cowbutt correctly puts her in the Tier 2 category. As far as demigod selection goes, I would follow this guide instead: Lord Erebus: Powerful but not as good as other Tier 1 Demigods late game. Easy to use and learn. Hard to

I really think we should at least try to look into the possibility of a 3v3 with an AI on each team. There would have to be a couple of changes to the programming so that only one build for each demigod occurs so the game doesn't start and you go "Ah crap... we got Pounce Sedna instead of Heal Sedna... we lose."
