The two new Demigods are getting close finally. And we’re very excited to start playing with them. Since we’re going to want to do some “play testing” to nail down the balance before they end up being foisted out on everyone, we’ll be releasing an update to Demigod in the next couple of weeks that will allow us to add these new ones to a person’s Demigod account. They’ll be able to play it online in regular games with others and we’ll see how they work out. As we nail down balance and such we’ll expand out access to it until everyone who has Demigod can access it.
As, always, I am Ready 2 Play!
You are aware that the entire company of S2 is working on HoN because it's in Beta which is why they're releasing more content - and considering the absolute ease at which content can be developed due to the low complexity of their Graphics engine they're actually working very slow, right?If you like HoN so much go to their forums and bug them. Seriously, people like you simply aren't welcome here. Leave.
Hmm, I send my request for Ready to Play to you when Frogboy posted about it the first time. Haven't got it yet...
I'll try again.
Hehe - definitely one way to get more people on ready to play.
I volunteer as well and will gladly play the crap out of the new dgs and provide balancing suggestions.
sarcasm much
just about 90% of the DG players ive talked to ahve said this games lag is horrid
its got a great graphics engine n all, but crippled by the fact that this gametype is meant for multiplayer, and its netcode looks like it was written by grade 10 computer science students
theres no excuse for how bad that part of it was designed, and the fact that development/bug fixes have been so SLOW prove theyve put this on the back burner, those 2 DG's theyre releasing that have taken a LONG time, are the last youll see for this game, this game will not be getting content after that
the graphics are fine for what it is
and they release mostly FREE games, and HoN they have HoN preorders setup but not many have preordered, yet they put MORE effort into their games than has been put into DG
And you arent in any position to say whos welcome, people like who you eat whatever company throw at you are why companies can release games that are sub par and get away with it. Dont get me wrong i like DG, its nice to have the same playstyle has HoN but with 0 complexity to just relax and not need to worry about most of the stuff you in HoN, but at the same time, all theyd have to do is FIX the netcode to get this game to be competitive with the others again
And btw, ive seen Frogboy say content will be released depending on sales, so expect this to be the last content update, cause DG was never high on sales, and its fallen even below that
Frogtastic
My thoughts exactly (when it comes to the whole "watching" bit and how they should keep up the good work). Also, I can't wait to use the Demon Assassin. It gets a tad bit boring using UB most of the time and playing with TB once in a while.
why not dish out the new demigods to everyone. Everyone will post forth their ideas on them in forums. For something that is so badly wanted by 'everyone', you are limiting it to a group of people which i find odd. but i have to say the tactic behind it is a great way to promote 'ready to play'.
It doesnt really worry me if i dont get to play the new demis while others do even if it means while that little while longer, at least that way i know i get a more finalised version of the character when i do have access to them.
Frogboy, thx for the update on whats going on. These posts are greatly appreciated.
count me in to try them out early!
MEEEEEEE TOOOOOOOOOO!
WOW couldnt put it better my self Zeh ^.^
awesome news.
If the demigods are ridiculously overpowered, we would hate Stardock for giving us them without first testing them. Better to wait for them to be balanced than to have an exploit.
check ur email? im sure you have... i have 1 for my and 5 for friends in my email if you would like one?..
https://www.stardock.com/products/readytoplay/regrtp.asp once you have the cd key this website will explain step by step how to install it.
I was going to ignore your boring, exaggerated rhetoric and just concentrate on your point, but ZehDon beat me to it. Post feedback or issue reports to Stardock (so that they may be passed to GPG) to help improve the game.
A "don't get me wrong i like DG" won't negate the toxic in the rest of your post. If you "like" DG as you claimed, do something more constructive for it than spout non-constructive criticism and comparisons with a game that is of the same genre but obviously offers a different enough experience to render such comparisons pointless.
Here you sound like you're taking it so personally that you're just pulling stuff from thin air. I've seen the same article claimed by ZehDon where Frogboy mentioned continued good sales on Demigod that's enough to drive more content to be made. Either learn to control your anger issues, or just leave and go to HoN which you so love. The only person you're going to convince with your rhetoric is yourself.
Make sure you give the demigods to the most experienced players for balancing before there entire release. I would like to get the balance good if not excellant before complete release so a quick fix doesn't need immediate attention.
Great!
Signed up to Ready To Play, ready to get my butt kicked online.
Btw, I`ve played Heroes Of Newerth in beta. I like it, but honestly, that game would be far easier to design & develop for than something like Demigod, where imbalances are more apparent and more critical; a finer eye is required for this. I enjoy the 'adventure' A.I. aspects of HoN, but I wish for more gameplay experiences in a coooperative vein versus that A.I., ala Left4Dead or Killing Floor. That makes for a doubly enjoyable group evening/afternoon.
Anyway, the more Demigods the better.
I hope the guy that runs demigoddb.com will add them. He hasn't done anything in a long time.
i think alot of people are banking on this seeing as theyu gonna be 2 new demigods... im sure he would be up to date with this hehe
I forgot to mention if anyone would like a Ready To Play Beta Key, please let me know via the PM System. I don't know if this will guarantee you access to these new Demigods, but it certainly can't decrease your chances.
My "Ready to Play" has "Associated with Impulse account" in a place of serial number. Do I still need "Ready to Play" beta key?
yes i did...
