[quote who="Izuz" reply="32" id="2506743"]I would only assume that that LE isn't a good player. I mean LE has monks + minions + bite + mist to dodge fireballs + swarm + area stun and he can out HP stack TB pretty easily. I honestly don't see how that is possible assuming decent play experience from both sides.[/quote]I would never refer to a game against inexperienced players when talking about balance. Also ice is much more effective against EB than fire, generally speaking.

Meh, the whole affair only took me about 20 seconds, it's a shame that this means the system for paying for new content (and thus any hope of getting new content) has been scrapped. Sometimes I just feel like Frogboy just isn't used to how awful people are on the internet. People who know nothing about him or his company seem to get through to him too easily... but that being said I have neither fans nor trolls paying attention to everything/anything I say or do, so maybe I just don't

[quote who="Epiphenomenon" reply="39" id="2506698"]I haven't seen any effects with the lightning damage. At best, it's 10 extra minion damage for three skill points. I'm not sure how it can be justified.[/quote]It's definitely better than 10 because I assume it's not affected by armor. Also it doesn't seem to indicate that it's restricted to your own minions or character. Does it affect creep waves or another general's troops? I assume it wouldn't, but I really don't know.

Reply to Let's talk Occ in Demigod Demigod Forums

I don't understand Occulus quite yet. He has an ability that is supposed to give nearby allies a chance to inflict lightning damage. If it affects minions then I think you need to view that skill as a supplement to Ball Lightning the way coven, conversion aura, entourage, etc. are necessary for their respective casters' minions. However, if that ability does not affect minions, then Ball Lightning is just awful until level 15 when it becomes ridiculously powerful for all the wrong rea

[quote who="Esuzu" reply="63" id="2484342"]4 seconds? How do you suggest games will be won if you don't cap portals? Then matches will go up to 60 minutes something.[/quote]The citadel has only about 40k HP. Most players do a good 600 DPS later in the game, giants alone do what, 500 a swing? No one is saying you can't cap portals. They're saying perma-locking them is retarded, and it is.

Reply to Ideas for some new items in Demigod Demigod Forums

I'm fairly sure that movement speed in this game is additive, so an item that reduced the cap would never be as good as an item that increased you speed by the same amount. So take the Wand of Speed, it's +25%, meaning that a 30% snare drops you to 95%, rather than .7 * 1.25, or 87.5%.

Reply to An observation of Occulus in Demigod Demigod Forums

Honestly if they have Ball Lightning working correctly by the time he's released I think he's going to be quite powerful. Chain Lightning is one of the best nukes in the game and pretty much all his skills' level 15 mods are amazing, especially electrocution.

[quote who="iokke" reply="4" id="2504472"]true but than your topic seems misleading;) i associate team balancing with game lobbies that fill up and than spread ppl as equal as possible, ex: 40 50 70 vs 40 50 70. 40 will learn if he/she pays attention it should say to get better you need to play vs people better than you are = true; but u can also get better by playing balanced teams with people better than you, i think that'll be even more helpfull for anyone.&n

Reply to Team balancing = no one learns how to play in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

No, there's a major difference between beginners getting stomped by 'pros.' There a very large swath of players who have no idea what builds are good, how to itemize, when to use consumables, or that mid and early game portal caps are devestating. Players with over a 1000 games simply have no idea how to play this game because they dont' fight harder opponents. There's no excuse.

Hey Frogboy, one problem I've seen with L4D1/2 servers and even DG for that matter is that when you want to play custom mods the server (or other clients in the p2p thing) can't send you the files directly, you need to go to a website. L4D2 will let you code a download link into the mod itself so it directs players to the appropriate site, but oftentimes the links break, move, or whatever and the mod needs a new version with the update link, which makes it incompatible with the previo

There is a pretty significant difference though. We may have gone into Iraq and Afghanistan voluntarily, but we want to get the fuck out of there asap, military speaking anyway. I would say we have a much more invasive culture, but when it comes to actually conquering, that's definitely not what we're doing.

Reply to Question about Cataract. in Demigod Demigod Forums

I doubt it's intentional. I was played a game with frogboy and was trying to get him to help push a portal early, I think at war rank 4 or so, and told him that it was worth it because it would give the whole team gold and exp. His reply was that he knew how it worked because he designed the mechanic, and in spite of that he still didn't seem to value the portal all that much. So to me it seems unlikely that the intent was to make the whole game into a flag lock struggle before rank 10, but w
