This has become a joke.

The multiplayer interface in this game is beyond pathetic. The custom games list locks up for minutes at a time, connecting to a game is a crap shoot, pantheon can't connect more then two humans in a game and if it does they drop when the game starts. I haven't tried skirmish yet but I'm assuming its gonna provide the same results as before. I read these status updates that new servers are up and all this other great stuff, but where is the improvement??? While I enjoy the gameplay, the multiplayer is limiting my desire to play. You guys keep saying your doing things for improvement but I haven't noticed any during this week. My best experience with the game has been on a hamachi server. When can we expect actual improvement so I can stop playing till then?

no one said we are glad its broke, but we aren't bitching on the forums, that won't do any good.

OOO STARDOCK, I CAN' CONNECT SO I WON'T GIVE ANY DETAILS AND INSTEAD JUST COMPLAIN!!!1!!!!1111

You are such a fanboy tool. People frustrated that multiplayer - a major aspect of the game - doesn't work have every right to post their dissatisfaction. The more such people who post, the better, because it'll send a message that the developer needs to get off their backsides and fix the thing.

And, no, I am not going to spend hours of my own time sending detailed bug reports to Stardock - I have no desire to be a beta tester, which is why, even though I pre-ordered, I didn't play the game until it was officially released. Because at that point, I have a right to expect it will work. It doesn't, and it's Stardock's job, not mine, to fix what should have been fixed before the release.

Why are some of you sticking up for Stardock? Honestly?

The TC is complaining about more than just locking up and the server. The multiplayer interface IS a joke. No joining a friends game? No auto-retry? No enter game name? No sorting? No lobby chat? No other lobbies? Auto refresh? hahahahaha.

Please, save yourself the argument against people that are complaining. They missed a lot of things that are pretty basic for newer games.

My thoughts exactly. I understand putting the thought behind creating a solid gameplay foundation but for a game to be successful you have to close the deal with a good MP offering. Its that simple.

I'd stick up for them partly because people are focusing all their blame on them and not on the people who actually made the game, Gas Powered Games. They are both working hard on it but when push comes to shove, it's in GPG's hands.

Holy cow. I have tried to, but I haven't said it better myself. Kudos.
