Reply to Bugs and Balancing for v1.2+ (updated) in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Why are the terrible items, such as the Plate Visor, totally ignored in your list? You claim that the Vlemish Faceguard needs a nerf, but don't even mention all of the garbage items in this game. Before everyone cries nerf, can we at least make the game more accessible to new players by either removing the terrible items or improving them? Right now, there are too many bad items and it is confusing and somewhat of a money pit.

Items (and some skills) need a major overhaul. Remove or enhance bad items (over 50% of the items in Demigod are terrible and should be ignored) Change the % mana regen mechanic (as of now, nearly all items with % mana regen are nearly worthless) Cap statistics and effects (health, regen, speed, etc.) in order to limit "stacking" of certain attributes or debuffs (diminishing returns for snares and stuns as well) Redesign terrible skills l

Reply to [Favor] Online Favor BROKEN (again) in Demigod Problem Reports Demigod Forums

[quote who="Sean0883" reply="1" id="2276733"]I dunno, as we discussed earlier, I kinda like it. I think I would prefer a favor system where items only force you to have a minimum amount of favor versus paying for them. Would make people less afraid to experiment with new items rather than the same ones over and over again. [/quote] Agreed, as that would be a much better system. However, this is a bug as it's not working as intended.

[quote who="schloob" reply="4" id="2275805"]It seems like a typical failure pattern. You knock one out of the park (Sins) and you say "this is easy," let's make another blockbuster. So, for the same paltry budget you make another game but you don't need to try as hard and you keep to the same failed principles (P2P multi-player?!?!?, wtf is it 1992 still?)

[Favor] Online Favor BROKEN (again) in Demigod Problem Reports Demigod Forums

As many of you know, online Favor is not working properly. Specifically, items purchased with Favor are not saved, and Favor is returned at the end of a match. Problematic behavior example: Player starts match with 750 Favor. Player purchases Blood of the Fallen. Player earns 100 Favor during match. Player joins next match with 850 Favor instead of 750-750+100 = 100 Favor. Is there any ETA on a fix?

Reply to Player drops, so keep AI but remove Gold/Exp from killing it: Idea by AnnihilatorX. in Demigod Demigod Forums

Terrible idea because the AI will then become a suicide machine. This is a player vs. player game, and bots should not provide any advantage. If someone drops, tough luck, you should lose. Bots should not be altered to allow teams with fewer human players to win.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="7" id="2273519"]I like the idea of AI demigods that replace dropped players not providing gold/XP. Any opinions on that? [/quote] Then teams with AI get free suicide bots. A team with AI replacements should have no advantage against a decent team. Also, will favor reset this patch or not? There's a lot of misinformation spreading about it.

Reply to Preparing for Demigod v1.1 in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

Will there be a favor reset or not? I have been told that a stats reset would take place, for as for favor, I am uncertain. I would prefer that favor remain as-is, since the more time players are allowed to acquire favor items, the more balanced the playing field becomes between the hardcore and the casual.

[quote who="andpancakes" reply="14" id="2265866"]Notice how Frogboy always mentions that Custom Games work relatively flawlessly, yet Pantheon/Skirmish games still need some work (something which we can all attest to). This simple fact is perhaps unfortunate for the growth of the community if, in fact, the OP is correct in his projection and analysis. Because the elite of Demigod mostly reside in Custom Games (e.g. premades) and because most people will play what is easi

Reply to Future of the Community in Demigod Demigod Forums

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Yeah, I definitely think that a more functional Pantheon will allow for more casual play. Custom games seem to be more organized (pre-mades, etc.), so Pantheon needs to serve as the skill-based matchmaking mode.

Future of the Community in Demigod Demigod Forums

So I've concluded that Demigod may be headed for a destination of which I am not particularly fond. Games that have small communities, but strongly competitive elements, will initially discourage new players. Frustrating game outcomes and a massive skill and experience gap will quickly turn new players away, preventing growth. As the game ages, many of the more casual players will leave, and only the veterans and competitive players will remain. Thus, if we maintain the status quo, the commun
