Reply to Become a Better DG Player: Watch this Replay in Demigod Demigod Forums

Hey Wip, I don't think the kids are saying "pwned" anymore... its really all very 2007 to do so. I think they're still saying "loose" instead of lose, but in my opinion you're posts are enough to show that you care about your gaming status very very much so you don't have to use the silly trying way too hard to miss-spellify words to show how hard core you are. Speaking of which, when is "Goshu" going to come back into vogue... I miss it.

Obscenitor uses it real well with Rook... Seen it used well with UB cause ooze still works while you're stone... All in all, just one of the few middle of the road items that don't suck but you shouldn't sacrifice upgrading your cit for. But oh doesn't it feel good to turn to stone right when reg throws the mines at your feet right after a UB spit on you and you had a mark of the betrayer and the TB is about to fireball your

Reply to Minion counters. in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I think I'll bastardize Obscenitors theory for you guys: If there were only two demigods in this game, a Fire TB and a Fire TB who did 10% less damage for all his spells, it would be grossly unfair for them to fight 1v1. 2v2 where one side had a 10% less damage TB would be a little more even but the regular TBs would still win. 3v3 with one side having one gimped TB might be really close... if they got lucky or were a little better they could probably win. 4v4 wouldn't

I played with this guy NeptunePisces who blamed me and my teamate every time he died... which was often. Played against him a few weeks later and figured maybe he had hopefully learned to play by then but honestly didn't think so. I probably shoulda warned the other team but I'm really not a good person deep down so I just told our team the the other team's UB wasn't very good and was gonna blame his teamates for sucking. He did and my teamates tripped out o

Reply to QOT Buff - The specifics in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think there are 2 things to change/fix and the QoT will be a good demigod to play. 1) The bugs that Cosmoe and others have listed many times regarding shamblers and auto attack mis-targeting. Fix these and the Queen is on her way to being fine. 2) Her good skills aren't good late game, and her bad skills... Anyway, I'd take Obscenitors idea on Uproot being a hurt your enemy or help your ally skill one step further and apply it to Bra

Reply to Queen of Thorns - Number of Games Played in Demigod Demigod Forums

I've given up playing QoT. When I did, I'd just go mana/speed and use shield/thorns/other thorns with cloak of night. Later i tried experimenting with a morale shamblerless build that only took level 1 shield since it doesn't scale well... probably because QoT was designed during a coffee break right before launch and no one felt like coming up with cool effects like the ones oak and sedna enjoy when they put points into shield and heal. It was good sometime

Reply to Speed Rook, is it possible? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I wouldn't give up on the build, but I don't think it'll ever be really good when you're taking Swift Anklet as your favor item. Would you consider switching to Staff of Renewal? I know it might seem like it would be less of a Speed Rook build, but I think you need to settle for a Relatively Quick Rook build. When it comes to chasing and kiting which seems to be what you're going for with this thing, i think the 20% cooldown bonus will

[quote who="Melzidek" reply="15" id="2383381"]I'm sorry, but removing shambler damage from compost and entourage would bother me. I play QoT a lot, and always take both. Because the damage added is multiplied by four shamblers, they really are useful abilities. I think the uproot idea is quite worthy, because I've never seen anyone use it. Compost and entourage though, please don't bash.[/quote] I'm sorry, but if you're ever on my team please don't play the QoT by going

Reply to Best items and worthless items in Demigod Demigod Forums

I don't think I'm good enough to really comment on the balance of items so just put me down for seconding whatever Obscenitor says cause he seems to know what he's talking about and has a cool name. I will say that I'm really hoping that GPG will change the overall philosophy behind favor items someday. I'd like to see them all become more like Heaven's Wrath and Wand of Renewal, in that they are very fun to play with and change the dynamics of the game more than

Mystery Lag in Demigod Demigod Forums

There seems to be a few ways that this game can become hard or impossible to play. 1) Overall high ping between players: Easy to figure out, relatively easy to avoid in custom games at least. 2) Ping Spiking: Usually caused by poor upload speed from a player that can't handle the size of a game that he joined, but once in a while, it might actually be that the player is actually trying to download porn. Who am I to judge? <p

I wish that GPG would put more effort into balancing this game. A beginner trying to figure out which items, cit upgrades, and demigod skills are useful and which are worthless, is yet another obstacle to learning how to play this game. Demigod has a steep enough learning curve as it is in my opinion. Right now some poor bastard is buying a Vinling Helmet and wondering why he keeps losing.

Reply to The September Demigod Community Question Thread in Demigod Demigod Forums

I believe it was said that no new maps would be made since it would be too expensive. Would they be able to edit existing maps that are never played, such as Brothers and Mandala, into smaller, 3v3 Cataract sized versions? I imagine if that is possible, it might be significantly less costly since the background, textures, overall design, etc are already there.

Ok, I concede that I'm prone to exageration and have no business commenting on the choice of favor items for top level players, since I don't play those guys enough and am far away from their level. Can we please forget about what I said about Blood Of The Fallen. Apparently, it is not the primary choice of favor items for top players, just the only way I've personally found to stay competitive against them for the early game at least. I still believe I have an excel

Reply to Balance: Pro Vs Casual Issues in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="Wyatan" reply="9" id="2364356"] The initial balance state of the game was admirable, but flaws were likely to show after a few weeks, and bound to after a few months. They need to be corrected, without fear of creating new unbalances in the process, because there will be new unbalances no matter what. Change the rules. Often. That's how you can keep the game alive longer.[/quote] I'm with you. Why worry about creating new im

Balance: Pro Vs Casual Issues in Demigod Demigod Forums

I used to use Cloak Of Night as a favor item because I thought, that with certain demigods, it was on par with Blood of the Fallen as a favor item and a lot more fun to play with. You see, I only play this game casually and playing alongside allies of varying skill levels against opponents of varying skill levels, you don't always get an accurate assessment of what the best strategy is. Oak is my alternate alternate demigod so I'm not great with him, but there was this one game ag
