When will Pantheon be fixed?

I mean the game is there for more than 2 month and pantheon is far from working as it should...

Why do I still get games against AI and with AI ? Why is it so hard to fix this?

Why do I get games with people of all skill levels and not with something equal to me?

Why do I get games with people who have a 500 or 400 ping to me?

Is it possible to fix this problems?

Probably...I think these core gameplay mechanics should be fixed before ever messing with items or demigod powers...you can't really know its balanced unless the main tourney play is working properly.

Problem is people leave when not teamed with friends.

People drop after the game has already been setup. Typically this is because of groups of friends wanting to play with each other and dropping when they don't see each other in the connection info of the game.

Why do I get games with people of all skill levels and not with something equal to me?
I think it's the size of the community. When there's only a handful of players looking for a panth game at the same time the auto-matcher can't be too picky.

You get AI because someone quit cos he's not playing with his boyfriend.

Adapt fast, get over it, there isn't real life "Skill Levels" that people fall into, thats just some bullshit you read on WoW forums. People are either shite at games or they're not. On topic though, my skill level is 405.

Because clearly, some poor guy living in a poor country playing on a bad internet line shouldn't have the same privaledges as you right?

These are all Stardock issues. And to fix them, I propose the following:

Frogboy actively watches the games, and manually takes over all AI's and plays them themselves.

Frogboy rewrites human genetics and puts everyone on the "same 'skill level'" because the human race isn't skilled enough.

Frogboy goes to said countries, digs up the roads, and underlay's some fibre-optics that connect directly to Stardock.

There should be a option for automatch like there was in C&C for maximum ping times and skill level difference...
And I think in general the system should not match the first people it finds... I should wait to make a real matchup.
Frogboy always tell that there are lots of people playing so the number of people should not be the issue.

Pantheon should never match up people from australia and japan with people from europe. 400 or more ping makes this game unplayable and a waste of time.

They should have done this changes a long time ago to make the overall game experience a lot better.

@Stardock
Is it possible to fix this problems?

1. If there are no good matches, you will eventually be paired with AI. It's a design decision. We are looking at having a setting that will force players to play only against human players even if it takes 5 minutes to make a game go.

2. The population fo people to play against is finite. Are you willing to wait 20 minutes to have it put together the perfect match? Most people won't.

3. This is a factor of the Internet.

These aren't bugs you mention, they're a fact of life of an Internet RTS game where there is a finite number of people to choose from.

I'm afraid there is very little that can be done that would satisfy all or even most users.
