more foxes tbh ...

Signed!

replays.

and a firefox plugin to play them in the browser.

naw, just kidding.

Ally portraits on the left.  I play Sedna, and sometimes targeting heals becomes far more cumbersome than is necessary.  If I'm standing near or on top of my ally, the targeting wants to snap to me, making me fidget with the pointer until the demigod I want to target is highlighted.  Or, if it's Rook standing on top off Oak and I want to heal Oak, it's very time-consuming to ensure I don't waste my cooldown on the wrong person.  If I can target a portrait, then I don't have to fight the controls and can focus on what's more important: who needs healing.

Favor Points for support.  The way I play Sedna, I don't do a lot of damage overall (though, every so often I can string together a lot of kill steals with pounce), so I end up contributing to the fight primarily by keeping my team in the fight.  I am just as vital to the team's success in an encounter, but I'm getting fewer favor points out of the deal.  Healing should somehow be factored into favor points, with shield having similar treatment.

Ally mana.  Having mana bars invisible to the enemy makes the metagame more interesting and robust (having to weight risk and reward more often), but making them invisible to teammates just creates cumbersome communication when I have to stop and type "I have no mana."  On the topic of mana and health bars, it's a pain to mash the tilde key at the start of each match to get the settings I want.  There should be a toggle in the options menu.

Item balances.  This one is more obvious and probably doesn't need pointing out, but there are too many items that go unused and too many items that are must haves.  Items like Vlemish Faceguard are almost mandatory.  Also, what's the deal with the dispel scrolls?  Worthless.

Minion controls.  I hate how being even remotely near a tower makes my monks want to attack them.  I don't have the patience to babysit stupid AI, so small things like "stand ground" would be nice.

Keybindings.  I can't change all of my controls.  Minion hotkeys are too far away from my gaming homerow, and I can't move them where I want to because the camera controls are locked.  I play with my demigod tracked, so I don't need to move the camera left or right (just rotate and zoom), so I should be able to use those keys for more important tasks.  Plus, I hate having the camera rotation inverted the way it is, but am stuck with it.

Agreed on the Concede button - so long as it's a team decision for the entire team to resign, not a single player. Make it a majority vote instead of a unanimous vote if need be - or heck, put an option in the lobby to let the players decide what they want.

3-minute grace time to Smart Quit... others have already commented on this: "provided you haven't died yet" or reduce that time to 30~60 seconds.

The other ideas people are coming up with (UI stuff, etc) are great too, but I'd be happy for now if just the Concede button was made available for v1.1 - the connection issues and bugs you have and still are dealing with already.

About smart quitting, if there are uneven teams (like 2 v 1), please don't even give the person a disconnect. That is just bullsh1t

With all due respect, Frogboy, but if you expect us to give you feedback here, on this thread, then what about the rest of the forum? There are dozens of threads up there, with all kind of great suggestions, feedback, bugs fixes and balance. Who is keeping an eye on them, if i may ask? They are at least two threads that i know of, with easy to fix improvements or fixes, that could be easily done for the next patch. Why don't you know about them (or any other staff members, form SD or GPG)?

This been said, i'm glad that you are considering hosting the games in the future, as it is clear that p2p is not meant for 10 player games, without causing problems to some players. I know this is not a quick fix, but better late then never. I wish it was done before the game shipped, but...oh well.

I for one can't play the game. Only 2v2 games, the rest are a massive lag fest (constant ping of ~1500). The automatchmaking in skirmish mode is an absolute mess. In custom games i can't see the ping of the "host", or anything. If the host doesn't say in the game description where he is located, i could end up in a match with players from 5000+ miles away.

So i don't know, for me the patch should fix the connections and improve the matchmaking and the mp UI in impulse reactor. After this is fixed, you can start on the rest. At the moment, i don't care about the rest, as i simply cannot play the damn game.

1. REPLAYS!

2. random map/mode selection (as well as random DG selection)

3. UI improvements. allied DG unit portraits, clickable for targetting purposes. custom hotkeys and more hotkey featues (hotkey targetting is important, especially one for target self, and target nearest enemy DG). 

4. Citadel Piggy Bank so teams can collaborate more easily on Citadel Upgrades.

Replay's, take favor(when it works) from rage quitters.

100% Agreed Its the best idea currently imo, This would bring team games ever closer together & clan games would be epic

Quiet a good one actualy, So Choosing is not a counter game, Sounds good Optional also so thats even better

One thing I'd like to see is a list of how many games of a certain type are being played at a given moment. Somewhat like what battle.net does. In the main multiplayer menu, there could be a small box to the right of all the buttons that shows, for example:

Skirmishes: 150 games being played; 25 people looking for games.

Custom Games: 340 games being played; 7 available games.

Pantheon: 260 games being played; 19 people looking for games.

I never play skirmishes because it's a shot in the dark, and you have no idea how long it might take to find a game. If I had some idea how many skirmishes were being played and how many people were actually looking for a game, I would be more inclined to try.

P.S. also fix the \nosound performance issues so I can start playing with the sound turned on!

Patch 1.1 looks great.
