wow, I posted twice, hoping to help get this resolved...
Item recipes are the big thing in the discussion, as an example of good/bad things in DotA.
DotA has been around for ~7 years, SEVEN YEARS!, thats a lot of time to perfect a game/mod, hell, another thing, DotA now itsnt even DotA in basic, the original DotA (1.1 earliest I know of, and played) was about, ALL ABOUT, back dooring (not sexual), and taking out towers, getting the game over quick, there wasnt even a river connecting the lanes, so it was hard to gank people, it was u and our lane partner (if you had one). SO, DotA 6.54b isnt even like DotA 1.1, thus making new DotA, NOT DotA.
What ever DotA is, any game made (like I said before) with:
-Lanes
-single controllable units
-towers
-creeps spawns
-assassins
is then DotA, right? thats what your saying in context, anything that you can connect to DotA, is bad, NOT ALL IS BAD! sure, the people that play, or have played since it came to being know the game inside and out, and there are leavers gamely, but lets look at what we like about the game, and talk of that, dont bash DotA, look at it with open arms, ready to cut down anything bad, and hug anything good, weve done much killing, but part of DotA needs a hug, what is that hug?...
Item Recipes? 91 heroes? mechanics? UI? Skills? what is it? what is good?
I mentioned IR (item recipes), I also stated before, and no one really said much about it but let me restate it:
"I dont want Demigod to BE DotA, I want it similar, with the good in the game, the bad can go, idc for it. an example of bad are the recipes, one or two is good (for like end game uber WTFPWN items) but not for core items." - Reaver
Its bold, can you see it now?
Thats my general thought about Demigod - Dota, Take the Dota Good, and make it Demigod awesome, take the DotA - Bad, make it a unique example or idea in or about the game... try to think positive, this is one big ass slam fest, no more, now on lets keep this s**t civilized, cmon, no more trolls, bashes, or denouncing, lets give well thought out ideas and suggestions... I know we can do it, we are fighting with thick skulls, quick witty replies, thinking skills, ideas, and insults... lets turn it to Demigod instead of our selves (just not insults, that can go)
if any of you see fit to bash me, your pathetic, im trying to turn this outta control beast around, and if you do think im wrong, say it, dont call me an idiot or a retard, just say "hey, nice post but I disagree because..."
im not trying to be your friggin mother, but this is redic, you guys are fighting about stuff that is just like, wtf, cmon, talk to Tyo or Kryo about it, get their opinion about what you think needs to be in game and out, then go from there...
we need to work together instead of rending this family apart...
