@irahi Stats are bullshit and you know it, all those games were pantheon games, I looked at your games in pantheon and you had a LOT of non-stacked games, look at my pantheon games and look at the top tier demigods I was up against, to say I have "low level play" because of my pantheon stats is bullshit and you know it, almost every pantheon game I'm getting oak+ereb or a combination thereof, also trying to play fortress prison with oak+ereb with the setup of one of my pantheon games

"The point is not that TB does not need help. The point is that those particular buffs are batshit insane." And that's not what my point was about you're pulling it off topic. My comment about TB is a bit underpowered generally compared to most demigods and he practically requires a good player at the helm to be any kind of effective in team games or else its like having a newb playing Queen your team. And in 1v1 TB is basically instant lose against many demigo

@matchboxmatt I agree 100% the biggest problem is many pro's are just asses who don't do anything to tell people what they should be doing so they don't learn, if you want them to learn say something else stuff a sock in it :)

"f you expect to tank another demigod with TB, I think I can see why you might be having problems." But there is no other option in 1v1 but to tank directly which makes 1v1 for TB on maps like prison impossible against equally skilled players. That's broken fundamentally. Lets not also forget we have abundant statistical evidence that certain characters are objectively better then others based on the numbers alone. <img class="quote" src="http://forums.demigodthe

"I wouldn't mind more dmg for fireball [e digicons]:)[/e] but I don't think we should change his other skills imho." Fireball definitely needed a buff, since the damage difference between ice and fire is not that great when you add in all the micro if you go total fire tb, not to mention the pathetic dmg payoff if you spent 4 points in deep freeze then got the synergy at the end. You haven't played enough TB. His circle of fire for instance is very small and easily

^^ This, the way mods were handled in demigod are god awful. FPS games learned a long time ago that you have autodownload mods when the person tried to connect to the game. Hell even starcraft did this and that game is over 10 years old! Some days I wonder what game developers have been smoking, its like they forgot the last 10 years of advances in games.

@izuz You may be right about base speed, in the modified TB I've been playing with now, I've increased fire damage as said, increased slightly the area of circle of fire to 12 from 10, and have been playing with fire aura, instead of 5%/10/15, its 10/15/20 but that may be too much, so I may change it to 7/10/15. I'm wondering if circle of fire or fire nova need slight dmg buffs, not sure yet. But I knew fireball definitely needed a decent buff, with HP stacking and sigils

UB need to learn how to use foul grasp when someone is portalling out, UB just sits there and attacks when he could get a kill by stun cancelling the person portalling out.

AI needs to recognize when not to use a portal scroll I notice that the AI many times will have significant health still and port home. Next thing the AI needs to know is when their portal in their base is being capped in cataract to teleport there. Also adding an element of "Teleport cancel" might be a good idea but probably take a while to tweak right.

Increase fire damage to 300/600/900/1200/ and 1700 with cold linked No point in spending all those points if you're not going to get decent bonus damage on maximum. Also make TB's base speed the fastest in the game.

Reply to Question about Cataract. in Demigod Demigod Forums

Truth be told lots of things about demigod are badly designed, this comes from releasing the game well before it was ready (proof: all the networking problems on release). One of the reason's cataract is played so much is the length of the game's can become excrutiatingly long on bigger maps, and the fact that online play breaks down and starts to severely lag with more then 6 players. The networking in demigod is atrocious so people tend to play cataract. On larger maps l

Reply to Blue Screen then restarting in Demigod Demigod Forums

It's most likely the video card, the GTX 280 and 8800 series of nvidia cards are slightly buggy, you will get a blue screen and the error will be in the nv_disp (I can't remember the spelling) driver. Turn down the graphics options and it should make it go away, usually the driver/card crashes under heavy load because of heat, IMHO try to see what the heat on your graphics card is and maybe down clock it a bit if you know how to do that.

@Davetheman "Of course a bigger community enhances the game. Nobody has ever argued against that. I said your reasoning for creating the ability to pirate the game is ridiculous."

Reply to The Graphics of Demigod in Demigod Demigod Forums

The art direction for demigod is good, but I think some of the character designs are a bit weird (speficically lord erb and regulus). Lord erb looks just to stupid. And regulus character design makes no sense, I really liked some of the models in God of War and bayonetta, IMHO they look like they belong in a game like demigod.

@Teseer But fire TB has speed buff I think people under-estimate speed buff of fire tb with mates in a battle, tb fire /w speed buff on cataract in the right hands is pretty deadly. I think the biggest problem with TB is that hist first frost nova doesn't come at an early enough level, maybe I'm wrong but I always feel I get frost nova later then needed since most of the time towers are gone by the time I get it or it's much less useful since you have catapults by then.

[quote] If you suddenly allow as many people to use your servers to play unlimited games at absolutely no cost, you will go bankrupt. When Demigod was initially released there were far far more pirates online to such a degree that it brought down the servers (and, iirc, helped cause a lot of the initial favor problems etc). So niz's view of pirates not harming the company is completely absurd. Not only are they taking the product for nothing, but they also are using the compa
