Erebus nerf in next patch

By on May 11, 2009 10:42:14 PM from Demigod Forums Demigod Forums

I didn't see a post on this so many have probably missed it.  Looks like it might be a pretty good 'tweak' not a huge nerf which is good.

 

Quoting Frogboy,
Just got this note from GPG. Not for today's update but for the next one (which is likely going to be v1.01):



BALANCE- Lord Erebus Bite

Bite's Mana Cost increased, Damage decreased, Armor Reduction decreased.

Mana Cost increased from 300/420/500/595 to 350/500/650/800.

Damage and health gain decreased from 300/500/700/900 to 250/425/600/775.

Armor reduction decreased from to 250/400/600/800 250/400/550/700.

why should i have to tell everyone im dsylexic i dont like using my disabilities as excuses but things i cant control i can't do anything about

Alright, for one thing you guys are hijacking this thread. Secondly, as a 29 year with dyslexia you are embarrassing me. It took several years of unlearning/relearning things when I was younger to function without problems. I was programming in BASIC when I was 6 years old, and learned C from reading a couple books when I was 14. Dyslexia has no bearing at all on your intelligence, so stop insulting the intelligence of these people and embarrassing people who atually do function normally with dyslexia.

I think dyslexia and lazy typing skills are two different things. When you are spelling words like "puncua5ttion" its obvious you do not read what you typed or attempt to go over and correct it. Dyslexia does not prevent someone from reading what they wrote or referencing a dictionary for correct spelling.

Quite different.

Dyslexia has little to do with whether you capitalize or punctuate your sentences.

So get a spell-checker.

Also, I agree with InfiniteVengeance, Dyslexia doesn't prevent you from forming sentences.

It does give you a good excuse not to try though, right?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and ask: Why the hell are you guys bothering si1foo so much about his sentence structure? Why do you really care? I don't have much of a problem reading his sentences anyway. Lay off already...

I don't know about you but my spell checker doesn't work here.

Quoting si1foo,

dide u add into the the graphs abilitties  because abbilities would be help ful for most people who dont get that erebus is no were nar the most powerful he is jjust the most useful

 

Nah, these are just base stats.  The abilities have an enourmous impact on things, as do items, I just wanted to present some data visually as people were arguing using different sets of numbers and interpreting different things.  There's nothing that gets my goat more than people with easy access to statistical data missing the whole picture they're presented with

May 13, 2009 7:12:14 PM from Demigod Forums Demigod Forums

Yeah take it easy on si1foo guys, I'm pretty sure there is a form of dyslexia that inhibits you from reading what you've written and it gets worse when you're upset.  

I think he's gotten the point that we like clearer wording and we appreciate it if he takes a bit of extra time with his posts so no need to beat him up over it, maybe just drop the subject now

Actually it can have a big effect on grammar, spelling etc.  And there are different degrees of it.

Honestly it's nothing to be embarrased about, people are much more understanding if you are upfront about it instead of just acting as though you don't see the point of grammar.  The thing is there are people that act like that on forums, even if they don't have any form of disability.

But he was upfront about it. He said he had dyslexia multiple times and asked everyone to lay off. Yet they still kept going on and on like they had nothing better to do with their lives.

But lets stop beating the dead horse on this one. I think we all get the point.

May 13, 2009 8:26:20 PM from Demigod Forums Demigod Forums

So there's the mana readouts and this appears to be erebus' weak spot in terms of base stats, his max mana is pretty low for the first 4 levels and his mps is pretty attrocious too. This should end up meaning that an increase in mana cost for his abilities is going to hit him pretty hard in terms of what he can do.

Doing DPS from base stats is going to be a bit more tricky as there's an upper bound a lower bound and an attacks per second, so I'm thinking either just average it out, or what I'd prefer to do, is make a graph with coloured shaded semitransparent regions.

Yaay data analysis is FUN!

For the love of all things decent, please don't start this shit again. As I said before, stop beating a dead horse.

Sorry, you're right. It's completely off topic, and rude. What was said was just too horrible for me to believe.
