Why do you guys waste time talking about whether piracy is right or wrong?... Times have changed.. people will pirate games is something which you have to accept as a fact of life. If this is the case.. than it is up to the gaming company to come up with the right kind of product and revenue model to make sure that they make money. Companies and people who don't see this and refuse to change or adapt will simply be swept away by time. Looking around there are games like Warcra

In the meantime stick with the masses and go play .A [e digicons]XD[/e] Beta version of 6.60 has already leaked on the net and the changes are COOL! You are assured of a 5v5 match everytime with no lag.. and in Garena, there aint as many rage quitters as you find in Demigod.

[quote who="The_Regicide" reply="14" id="2161853"]5 UBs spitting on you for "insane damage" will top out at ~2000 damage... I have no idea how you calculated the minion stuff...[/quote] Hmmm... have you been playing at all? Depending on the level of the UB.. starts from as low as 2000dmg to as high as 7500dmg?

[quote who="Kalil Chernov" reply="25" id="2153304"] Is that taking into account the -20% Ability Cooldown from the Staff of Renewal? EDIT: Just tested it out, and it took my ~ 14.5 minutes to gun down the enemy citadel on Prison using Regulus w/ the Staff of Renewal, although there was some innefficiency there - I spent some time leveling to get the second rank of Snipe, and I died twice (kind of embarrassing - I thought that Rook was my ally. Oops. All walking fortresse
Right now I don't see any need of having favour items as part of the game. Just give DGs an extra item slot and make all the items purchasable. After playing for 20hrs you will probably have all items available for FREE at start of game. All it does is to create imbalance to the game right at the beginning.. How does it match up for a beginner to face a veteran who can teleport, who can move 15% faster.. who can heal his HP to full in a few seconds..? This makes this game very
Demigod is a refreshing game.. since this is the 1st time such pvp rts game style is bring brought to a standalone game with nicely rendered graphics.. However after days of trying to play multiplayer failed, and after feeling very bored with playing with bots.. I have decided to go back to playing dota for now. Will probably come back to try this out again in a month or 2 after the multiplayer option is being resolved by either stardock or offered by some other 3rd party vendors
[quote who="Dracil" reply="19" id="2147128"] Cloak of night has a 15y range. If you're that close to use it, then your snipe alpha strike won't be as effective because it does less damage to close enemies. Against another organized team, seeing a team of so many regulus, they'd probably all just get the +800 health favor item and a +400 health armor at the start, neutering your strat. And if you just have 1 person up front scouting so you can snipe at max dis

[quote who="Cerulean_Shaman" reply="10" id="2143779"] Jungle maps would add destructables (at least I'd hope), ect. Depth in this game wouldn't do much asides from effect fog of war like in dota. They could improve on it of course, I suppose. As for cover, it won't make much of a difference. Very few heroes benifited from the trees in DoTa and fog of war served as cover far better than the trees themselves. Considering you can turn the camera in Demigod, it would be even
Why not learn from the dota experience? Out of 10 dota games i host.. about 8 will have at least a leaver. My banlist takes care of those who left so they wouldnt spoil my game again in the future. I doubt the DG community behaviour will be any different.. Within the game itself, leavers will be made controllable, and leavers items perhaps can be converted to gold and distributed evenly among the remaining team members. (alternatively, the leaver can be removed entirely and to
I beg to differ.. all it takes for this strat is for 5 people who know what they are doing, and then for 1 person to coordinate timing. Assuming we are aiming torch bearer.. this is what i will type: (after getting his hp to TB 3 2 1 Then all click on the poor TB.. How hard is this? And for my cloak of night strat.. 5 cloaks = 1000aoe dmg = about 50% life of a lvl 1-4 DG.. How hard i
Imagine going to an Italian restaurant to eat seafood pasta.. And as the food is served.. you realised there's no seafood on it. You look at the next table and realised the customer there has seafood on his plate. In the meanwhile the restaurant went into an uproar because half of the customers are also not seeing their seafood and are complaining. Then you overheard a conversation between a customer with his delicious seafood and the captain: 'sorry about the noise, we'll move all th
This is a serious oversight on the part of the game developers.. To make the game work people must configure their windows & router firewall settings.. And possibly also the firewall s/w that comes with their antivirus (like mcafee/norton etc). I've been playing custom games in wc3 so I know most people can't host games coz many are kids as well as non tech-savvy peeps and they juz simply don't know how to configure their s/w or router even if you teach them to.. And not many peop
Quite a game breaking strat.. Even if GPG make it so that you can't snipe citadel.. Without favour items.. just buy mana pots.. then have 4 regs clustered somewhere near the mid lane which with 1 other DG harrasing to take down 20% health (about 3-500hp will do in the beginning) of any low life enemy DG. Guaranteed kill + gold everytime snipe cd is up. 2000+ total team gold added every 30s is no joke... In less than 10mins the regs will have a high level item each which will m
I've been playing dota for like 4-5 years and here's some of my 1st day impressions of the game: Gameplay is definitely DOTA-inspired but items feels more like another WC map called ENFOS with an additional strategic element to upgrade creeps like another custom map called Rabbits & Sheeps. I won't touch on the network connectivity and channel chatting issues as this would be more of Warcraft vs DG rather than Dota vs DG. BattleNet has been around for like close to 10yrs or more..
Well... arguments matter little compared to actual real world data. If a game is good, more people play it.. and if it is not so good.. less people play it. As of now.. there's about 70k dota games hosted in bnet in 1 day and about 4k downloads.. Refer to statistics here: http://www.mapgnome.org/browse/sort-hosted/all/1 These numbers exclude the games hosted in Garena which i expect should add up to another 20-50% of the total public dota
