Reply to Premades have ruined the game in Demigod Stardock Forums

BUt seriously, Your going to find "premades" where you find PvP. Your going to end up with teams made up of like minded people who like to play with each other and play well against other players. Demigod has been out for a while so its no suprise. PUGS odly enough can be attributed to helping the players find one another that leads to them making premades. Instead of crying foul about it look at whats working for other and try t

[quote]I sooo wanted to like this game...when i play against non PM's...the game is incredible!!! But in my opinion, this is the worst community I've played with. Stack the game to your advantage then complain about rage quitters. and what's with these "pro's???" "pro's only... whatever I can't wait to hear the flammers. Here is the thing...when teams stack the room unfairly they chase people away...like me...im done...so, have fun playing with yourselves. You guys ruine

[quote]i guess sometimes you need to leave it up to poetic licence[/quote] I agree on the poetic license, I based my idea on the whole invisiblilty problem, you make yourself invisible to the world but at the same time you have made the world invisible to yourself. Since the missle would be blind for the time it was in phase space it would have to make very carefull calculations, how fast is my target moving? how fast am I moving? was the targe

I put a little thought into the phase missles and I had this one, A reason for why the phase missles only bypass the shields and not say fly into the bridge and engine room is that they can only afford to be out of phase with the rest of the universe for only a moment. Leaving the energy requirement for shifting into phase space and back alone, as you described it a missle leaves the space time or dimension of everyone else so entering into phase space the missle&nbs

Reply to What is up with the graphics for this game? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote]That being said, I find a lot of developers spend far too much time trying to make a game look "impressive" rather than looking "good" which hurts the game in the long run. Take Baldur's Gate 2 for example. It was never really all that impressive to look at, but it's graphics hold up surprising well 10 years later. On the other end of the spectrum is something like Final Fantasy 7 (Which I DO love), was technically brilliant back in the day but actually looks silly now, and arguably wo

Reply to Some thoughts in Demigod Stardock Forums

[quote]I should have an ability where I can instantly kill an enemy demigod, or possibly my teammate if he's a douche. Like, I press Num Lock and suddenly enemy EB explodes, also his minions turn on each other. Where's your bat swarm now, you blood sucking wanker?[/quote] You would effectively kill 2/3 of the gaming community in general, (not limited to Demigod)

[quote]It's not Stardock who are actually working on Sins. It's ironclad.[/quote] Huh I see that now, thanks for pointing that out. Well you can just sub Stardock for Ironclad and see what they are doing in relation to everyone else. Its whoever holds the purse strings over a project is going to dictate what gets done and how quickly.

Very nicely done [e digicons]k1[/e] for you. IMHO, having a reasonable explaination for a space fantasy game is good. It provides some background and wieght to the story other than "it just works". Then again you can pull a star wars and get carried away and try to explain every little detail (thanks wookieepedia). Seriously, an explaination on the complete history, layout, modifications, armaments, and former crew of the Millennium Falcon really nee

Reply to expose them nipples! in War of Magic Stardock Forums

On a serious note, It's odd that you can snipe other players in a violent realistic PvP game or use a atomic powered chainsaw to grind away alien/zombie hybrids, but if a boob pops out GOD HELP US ALL ITS MATURE!!!!!!! Never understood that.
