I know a lot of people are upset with multiplayer right now, and I think we can all agree that the developers have been forthright in their assurances that it isn't the quality they want yet either.  I would just encourage people to be patient.  There are too many good features in the game, even with sometimes spotty matchmaking, to write it off so early after release.  Many games release with serious bugs and in terms of gameplay demigod has fewer than most.  There are people who have trouble connecting to multiplayer games, its true.  It is not everyone though, I personally have had very few issues connecting to multiplayer games.  There is, however, no forum section for people to post their positive experiences, all players are exposed to are the negative experiences.  So for those of you connecting, playing, and enjoying the game post here.  For those of you who are not, give the developers some time, it'll happen.
