Reply to The allmighty STARCRAFT 2 in PC Gaming Sins Forums

[quote who="Darkreaver1980" reply="3" id="2154595"]You know what? Starcraft 2 will even have a better and more powerfull editor than warcraft 3 (thats confirmed). You can change ANYTHING with it...textures, scripts, sounds, modells...just everything. So we will get it all...DOTA, Towerdefenses and so on for starcraft 2[/quote] The editor is what makes this game an auto-buy for me. I almost never played normal WC3 multiplayer, instead I played the RPG maps with my friends(love th

[quote] EDIT: the ruling was made on an existing somewhat new law. As prior to that law it would not be possibly to convict them for such a crime. There was much debate as to what actual information was stored on piratebays servers as the judge wanted to ascertain that without the hash stored on pb's servers the transfers would not be possibly.

You can install all three then do the update in one go. Or do mean that it took over 4.5 hours and you divided the time the number of disks? I know the reason SoZ takes so long to update, they somehow managed to make its install delete one of the key files for the MotB campaign(Something like 200 to300

Ideally have a full field of 6 mines already set up that you can retreat over. If you have the mine ability ready to use by the time he has triggered at least 3 then toss them out into his path, that is a potential of 9 mines hitting him within less than 2 seconds. If you have good speed and dps then you should be able to get him while he is retreating, if you can't keep up or he gets into his base then snipe. Rinse and repeat for all future encounters.

Reply to Tired of Multiplayer Balance + Lack of Speed in creation of games in Demigod Demigod Forums

Rook being the way he is now is much better than what he was like in the beta. Hammer Slam had a much larger AOE, was not targeted on the ground but on Demigods(basically imposible to avoid), comboing a Boulder Roll with a Hammer Slam was just about an insta-gib(Or close enough that it didn't matter). Plus there was the 'Snipe Bounce' problem that made Rook the bane of Regulus players. I think it is safe to say that all the largest balance problems were found in th

This brings me back to beta 2 when the mine cap was 12 . . . . On one hand I can see why they reduced it, on the other hand I miss killing full health rooks with ease(set up all 12, stand in front of them, then used the teleport cloak to get behind them right before the rook was in range to hit me). Here is something to add: Demolition Time! Towers and other structures trigger mines a short time after they are placed. At higher levels targeting t

[quote]This game runs "ok" but i'd say FPS is a bit low if I could see it.[/quote] So you think the FPS is low, but you don't know what it is? Try installing the demo of Fraps, it has a FPS display while a game is running. Also, if you don't like how ir runs, there is always the option to turn your settings down. After all games are about gameplay first and graphics second. Just to be sure, you do have the latest drivers right?

Frogboy does a lot. I remember one time I saw him giving advice on the 24th of December.

Reply to Who'd have thought low DRM would punish legal users? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think the problem is that Demigod does a check for updates when it is launched, as it checks the same server used to play the result is pirates having a negative effect on legal users. The pirates can't play online, put together all the small checks they make add up.

[quote who="Mooster" reply="9" id="2143139"]Do you mean that they continually target a specific ship type till they are gone? then they attack another type?[/quote] Yes, if the player gives the ships a target they will continue to attack all enemy ships of the same type as the target until there are none left. After that the player can give them another order, or let the default auto-attack take over again. Note that after the player gives the inital attack order they don'

Reply to ideas for new pirate ships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It would be nice if Pirate ships got upgraded based on how much bounty the pirates get. Say 1% boost to hull and weapon damage every 2-4 thousand credits. What pirates need is a ship that diverts all income from extractors/refineries/trade ports within a certain distance around it(or an activated ability that targets one strucutre and lasts until the ship is destroyed).

Also there is the issue of some ISPs filtering/blocking peer to peer, so that could be a problem. Plus the whole 'beta server overload' problem(stupid Gamestop) so Stardock had to put the main servers up under pressure. Check out some of the posts by Frogboy and you can see the problems caused by Gamestop's early release. Would it have been perfect if everything had gone as planned, no. But it would have been a lot better.

Beta people only ->beta servers not overloaded -> more demigod played and bugs/problems found Plus. Stardock would have been able to set up the main servers wit

Given their history of breaking street dates, I really don't care that much if they alone have to push back the date they release a game. Also, ventin
