Do we get favor points from custom games, or only skirmish and pantheon now? Which was mentioned last week as a change for this epoch because it was too easy to just compstomp for favor. i.e. did that change go in?
You can't use Erebus against UB in pantheon.
Life Steal? 0.5 Attack speed? Those sound like extremely late game stats. In my experience, games tend to end long before that point. But I could be mistaken and I'd really like to play against a passive Regulus once. I tend to go towards the other extreme. No AF at all. Mine, Snipe, Scope as my first three points, Mark when it's available, and tracking device and 1 point in Maim just for a slight advantage. I don't fight demigods 1v1, inste
As a regulus, I find I do best when I play as a flag capper/miner/support. I usually don't bother fighting UB in the early game. Or any demigod really 1-1, unless I have a cleaer advantage. I usually just throw down a mine and then retreat. If you chase me, you follow me into towers. When you turn around, I snipe you just as you reach the edge of the fog of war. What I will do is play extremely opportunistically. If your life drops below 1000 I star

[quote who="XSive_Death" reply="16" id="2174140"] Quoting Dead Ghost, reply 14 In this time, the game freezes (for everyone) and usually the players quit the game in anger, not before asking me not so politely to stop downloading p0rn. And it's not my connection, because i play a lot of other games online, and don't have this weird problem. I'm waiting for the proxies to be set up, maybe it will work then. If not, i don't know what i'll do...
[quote who="si1foo" reply="10" id="2173869"] Quoting Ralsar, reply 9Balance is pretty good. Players just like fussing about everything. Instead of learning to play better after a loss they stomp their feet and cry about how some mean ol' Demigod is OP. ok then u fight againist a regulus with 500 norm dmg and 3 crit items ohh dont forget the rapid fire of his attack speed[/quote] His citadel was destroyed about 20 minutes before this happened.

Wireless only adds about 10ms or so in my experience. Wireless is not to blame for your connection if you're going 150-180ms to everyone. Also, there are much more than 20 games at any one time. 1) You do not see games that have started 2) You do not see full servers If you want to see the FULL list of games, you'll need to do that from within Impulse. Do a search to find out how.
Which makes building hp+regen that much better. The sooner people start realizing citadel upgrades > artifact whoring the more they'll start winning. You can tell who the artifact whorers are when they talk about pwning with super high dps/attack speed/tanking gear. Against a good team, the game will never reach that point.

Favor borking is annoying. Though it was still funny seeing the entire opposite team ragequit saying I got fed when I had no favor items. :D
[quote who="Sunwind" reply="20" id="2171827"] Quoting Darvin3, reply 16I think the only issue is when you get a "weakest link" that keeps feeding. A possible change to the gold bounty system would be to reduce the amount of bounty on a specific character after each death. That bounty would build back up over time, but if they die repeatedly they won't be worth a lot. This would mean if one player on the team is dying over and over again but the other players are doing j
What needs to be done is 1) An option so we can choose how to spend the AI gold 2) AI not standing around doing nothing. 3) AI to stop thinking it's a good idea to walk into the middle of 4 towers and then teleport out from there and dying during the 3s cast.
Getting catapaults and giants while they're spending the same on the Mageslayer = you win. IAS is nice one on one. But unless you have Cleave items/skills as well, you will be overwhelmed by the mobs.
I've had quite a few momentum changes. Yeah, that one guy whoring kills and artifcats? He can't be everywhere at once, which is what he'll need to be when you upgrade your citadel with catapaults and giants.
The better force is the one you did not pick. Grass is always greener on the other side. :D
When I play other RTS games, it also takes me 5-10 minutes to get a game. Most of that waiting is just for people to join the game, or finding a host with good ping and performance that's not just stacked teams. Or I could just hop on vent, find the group of Penny Arcade people, and have a game in the few minutes to get everyone into Gameranger. I think I've played at least 50 games of Demigod now since release, which is something given I can only play at night and also
The key is to end the game before late-game. 480-540 damage per shot with 0.5 attack speed means a lot of artifacts. Throwing half that money into catapaults and giants will probably win you the game much faster. The thing about Snipe is if it gets you a couple early kills, it's a big momentum boost for your team. It's harder to measure how all that extra gold and xp you have over the team translates to your later success in the game. The way I play my Regulu
Competitor to Stardock, not gonna happen.
It's really funny how obvious it is.
I like my speed items. Tank? Whatever for? More like chase you down, stun you, and kill you, all while my auto-weapons dot you to death during the chase. Nobody expects a rook moving at capped speed.

This guy sounds pretty representative of the Dota community from what I've heard and is why I won't be sad (and perhaps even happy) if these "OMG Demigod is not Dota!" people went back to Dota and never came back. :D
[quote who="NeoVain" reply="2" id="2162085"]i still have major issues as well... 2 out of 3 games never start, with someone "not connected to anyone" so i have to cancel after 5 minutes wait and try again (pantheon). Also, 2 out of 3 games that actually start, have someone disconnect right at the start of the game, the rest of them are extremely laggy, sometimes someone leaving midgame due to the heavy lag.[/quote] Just wanted to point out, if everyone is extremely laggy to you, the p
I'd like to see Rook and Sedna not underleveled/undercashed compared to other demigods because of this mechanic and some stuff about towers not giving xp/gold.
