It's the little things.

Minor Suggestions

from Demigod Forums

Here are a list of little changes that would really improve the game.


1. Make the Avatar picture on the bottom bar be selectable so you can heal the picture to heal yourself.

2. Create a MMO party like display that lets you see your teamates HP and Mana. Also make it selectable so you can heal or buff them from it. Create a toggle for it so you can make it disappear if ya want.

3. You should be able to view your pets from a similar display. Dont neccessarly need to put HP bars on it, but at least a number so you can see how many you have.

4. You should be able to select the Item and Ancient item shop from a distance so you can review items and item costs from anywhere on the map.

5. Unlock the keys bound for Camera use in the options. Some of us want to use Q and E for other things aside from rotate camera.

6. Show the name of the game in the lobby your in while your waiting for a game to start. Its frustrating to join a game and then try and invite a friend to join but cant remember the name.

Ill add more as I think about em.

 

Some more!

7. You should be able to click on the map. A ping would be fantastic. Also, you should be able to use the map to use teleport scrolls.

I agree with all your points, especially the heal-by-icon and having all your heroes onscreen and also to be able to see if they are dead or not (with countdown).

 

You can probably see the hp bars of your minions with the ~ key, but it'll still be hard to see how many you have under control.

agreed with all points. 

It just dosnt feel enough like a strategy game to me with me bein only able to monitor the abilities of my demigod.  Generals need more than 3 buttons to command units, they need a minibar with their units' type, count and hp.  it wouldnt take up much screen space seeing as you can only field about 4 types of units at any time.

PLEASE! I use RFDG for every other game, please let me remap every key :(

In fact, in a perfect world, I'd love to have key combos saved for each DG so I wouldnt need to rebind after.

No to the first 2, but the last 4 would be good.

Your team should have to communicate, or someone playing Sedna or QoT should be observant to see when an ally nearby is low on health. Heal and bramble shield already provide huge advantages to teams, it should not be even easier to use them. Of course, the unresponsiveness of Heal should be fixed however.

Also, few games let you see the mana of the people in your party.

Love all those points those things would definately improve Demigod 100%.

You can ping with P and teleporting via minimap isnt really needed because of zoom out.

I really vouch for 5, the keybinds. Please unlock the wsad etc keybinds, and make them customizable :)

That would be so nice! Now Im in the middle of the keyboard and have to jump around too much. Being able to have all my keybinds on F1-F4, 1-4, q-r, a-f, would be awesome!

Yes, please.

Yes, please.

3. You should be able to view your pets from a similar display. Dont neccessarly need to put HP bars on it, but at least a number so you can see how many you have.

Something indicating how many critters are summoned would be useful.  I could also live without it if need be.

4. You should be able to select the Item and Ancient item shop from a distance so you can review items and item costs from anywhere on the map.

Meh.

5. Unlock the keys bound for Camera use in the options. Some of us want to use Q and E for other things aside from rotate camera.

Yeah, I think we should be able to remap any key however we want.  I don't know why it isn't done that way currently, though.

6. Show the name of the game in the lobby your in while your waiting for a game to start. Its frustrating to join a game and then try and invite a friend to join but cant remember what the name of it.

Yes, please.

7. You should be able to click on the map. I ping would be fantastic. Also, you should be able to use the map to use teleport scrolls.

You can ping the map already.  Just hover your cursor where you want, and press P.  Teleport scrolls require you to click on a structure, so I don't think it would be practical to use the minimap for this.
