Maybe not with bright wizard. However if you compare skill depth of the 2 warhammers is much much deeper. I'd expect it to be, being an MMO, but the difference is ridiculous.

Reply to Skills and Skill System in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Innociv there's a lot more to the warhammer skills than what's shown there due to the mechanics of the game. Unless you understand the mechanics you won't fully understand the skill differences.

And if the enemy is ahead in the game and can pay to res faster, how do you plan on turning the game around? Try dying less, there's a solution.

I didn't mean picking, just a general automatic attribute increase on level up dependant on your demigod.

I think attribute points should just be given upon level up.

If you're going quality > quantity the current skill trees need to be doubled/tripled to make up for the lack of pure quantity of demigods. That way each demigod can be played in more ways to make up for the lack of numbers. Honestly, I prefer each demigod be more diverse than having pure numbers but looking at the current skill lists they are extremely lacking. I'd like to at least see skill lists nearing diablo 2 if we're only getting 8 demigods. Before someone says items, no, they

I was estimating and basing it only on the original, which was the best version IMO. The others became 'okay' with time but vanilla had best gameplay imo.

I see nothing similar between an RTS and Demigod really. About as far as you're going to get is control scheme and controllable minions for demigods.

Reply to Microtransactions? in Demigod Demigod Forums

There has to be either a decent amount of demigods (I'd say 15ish) or the demigods we're getting have to be more in-depth and versatile in skill choices. I'd think new abilities are easier to add in than entire new demigods, so this shouldn't be hard.

Or should I say micro expansions, they're the same damn thing anyway. http://pc.ign.com/articles/906/906777p1.html Hope this isnt planned for Demigod too. :/

They're not going to include wasd if it's going to work like crap. It's not one piece of information.

[quote]Recode the whole game so WASD is possible for all i care, if it isn't. =][/quote] You're not being realistic. The technical reasons that have been listed almost surely guarantee that there will NOT be wasd control in the game. Re-writing the engine so that we can use WASD control would be a huge waste of time and money in comparison to working on the rest of the game. It's likely that click to move will work quite well and wasd, while preferred by some, will not be included due t

Reply to WASD in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

WASD would require more movement updates than click to move wouldn't it? That alone would make click to move a better choice and the engine decides pathing each time a new order is issued so that there's no/less collision. Also considering the game is p2p and not server based (meaning higher pings typically) I'd say we're better off with click to move. Nevermind that they'd probably have to add wasd in from nothing since it wasn't used or even considered for supcom which the engine was built for

Personally, I prefer unique per team. Meaning each team can have 1 of any demigod but there won't be anything like 3 regulus vs 3 rook or anything like that.

I'm eliminating something because it's given an advantage that it shouldn't be given instead of being put on an even level with choosing a specific character? Aren't you pushing for more people to go random because they'd basically have an advantage of the opponent not knowing who they are until encounter? It should either be everyone is not known until seen, or everybody is known. No in-betweens.

Getting a random demigod isn't a disadvantage - it was your choice to random so deal with it. An inherent advantage should not be given to you for choosing random.
