Oculus is a waste of a good minotaur

By on November 30, 2009 10:07:05 AM from Demigod Forums Demigod Forums

I'm honestly disapointed that when we get a minotaur hero he's a blind sorcerer stuck in a wheelchair. You could have used any race as a lightning throwing mage that we're getting as Oculus. Why take a minotaur and limit him to the throne?

I had expected an up close and personal assassin from a minotaur demigod. He could have been something like the Light side's Unclean Beast. A gigantic minotaur wielding a two handed sword with a charge move and a berserker aura that could compete with Beast in autoattack mayhem. That would have been great.

'Wheels' is a just a letdown in terms of concept. The Demon Assassin is cool enough although I don't know why he wasn't given a real name.

Oculus had one weakness...Reduced 73%Original 562 x 599

"Light side and darkside doesn't even matter in this game."


Totally incorrect. Light and Dark are distinctly different sides in Pantheon. I will never have Sedna and Unclean Beast on the same team. I will never have Oculus and Demon Assassin on the same team. Dark side and Light side are significant, core components of how this game is played.
Well I have seen a light side TB so its possible but whatever .

Wasn't there a time where you could select your demigod and side you wish to fight for.

You can't do that in Pantheon. Bold for emphasis.

I think the point he was making is that even if it SHOULDN'T happen, it does. Plenty. (well...did, dunno about anymore. Been a while since my last game)

Are you saying there was a bug where you'd get forces mixed up in Pantheon? I haven't seen it but it's possible. It wouldn't change the fact that heavenlysynn was embarassingly and demonstrably wrong in saying "Light and Dark doesnt even matter in this game."

I wasn't embarrasing nothing because you still haven't proved anything. Why because theirs nothing to prove; light and dark literally hold no purpose in game.

Even in patheon light and darkness effects nothing but who you are allowed to select. It does nothing for game play, but I guess if you wish to try and do somekind of role play with a character than it may have some little effect to your playing style.

Light and darkness are literally only titles, they don't affect the outcome of a a game, it doesn't affect the character you are using, it doesn't affect the skills you are using, nor does it affect your build. Unless it has had a major overhaul light and darkness are simply useless titles. You two are trying to give something mor use than it actually has. Do not try to take a demigod's skill and side the ability with light or darkness because their is no light or dark ability. Their is simply the title of light and dark demigods.

You just proved my point for me. I bolded your text for emphasis. Twice now you've admitted that Light and Darkness does effect the demigod that you are allowed to select. That matters, which proves your statements incorrect. For example: "light and dark literally hold no purpose in game." Once you make a declarative statement like "X affects nothing BUT Y" you prove that X does in fact make a difference. Your own posts prove that not only are you wrong, but you know you're wrong. And you just refuse to admit it.

I'm genuinely surprised at your stubborness on this. Most people would think about it and say "Ok, Light and Dark do matter in Pantheon. But since I don't ever play those I don't care." And that would be that. But to see you keep arguing against the obvious in really incredible. That's why I've said your embarrassingly wrong. Making a misstatement is no big deal. It's the repeated posts where you actually admit you're wrong in your own words and then still insist you're correct that are embarrassing.

Actually you are proving my point. I because can't create noargument outside demigod selection. Which most people usually select their favorite demigod and dont care about whether itis light or dark. Until you can come with a real in game changeall your doing is wasting my time. Youdon't see is the demigods are seperate entities controlled by the player. If thiswas an argument of how they effect the game you would be right. But this isn't about the seperate entities but the pointless title.
