Anything meaningful you might have had to say was completely erased by this line. The support we've received for this game considering it's age is leagues ahead of any other single company in the industry. If you have issues with the game, discuss them and state them clearly so that they can be corrected. Pathetically pointless threads like this make yourself look stupid and do nothing except waste bandwidth.

Side note: Ignoring the fact that the A.I. cheats at higher difficulty levels being a widely known fact - and intended - the A.I. is infamously bad and can barely be considered a challenge. I play against two Hard A.I.s whenever there aren't any Australian players online and have never lost a game against them.

If we all got one new Demigod each time a thread like this was posten...

I'll start off by saying I apologize for flaming.  It was 2 in the morning and I was just frustrated with the game.  I really think this game could be one of the better games out there, if just a little time were taken to clean up the bugs and balance the game.  However there are a few things I would still like to point out.

This game is poorly supported.  More game companies could learn from Blizzards success.  Yes, now they are a huge company that has the resources to update and balance just about anything, but when they first started they still produced good initial games, and quick patches to resolve balance and play issues.  In other words, they respected their clients. 

This last patch for Demigod produced more bugs than it fixed.  To say that this company is "leagues ahead" is incorrect.  I have played many 1 on 2 games against the AI without any issues, try the tournament mode.  By the time you get to game 6 or so the AI might as well have started at level 10.  Rook was able to outrun unclean beast (easily I might add) at level one even though I had boots and favor to increase speed.  Stardock has been successful at producing DRM free games and still make a profit because their games were quality.  If they want to slap their name on any game that is presented to them, their name will be tarnished and they will follow the path of most game companies.  EA is a prime example of what can happen when you stop caring about your clients.  The once giant is now well behind the curve.

As for the comment about the Hard AI not cheating... I would like to see you produce a build of torch bearer that can stand at the enemy crystal and be pounded on by 3 demigods and not die, and eventually run away (for no reason) only losing 10% of his health and able to run faster than sedna or unclean beast.

Common guys...AI is the fun part of the game to program.  Everyone is way too focused on head to head play.  I can remember when deep blue made headlines, AI now a days can hardly add straight.

I could produce a long list of problems such as favor, balance issues, or whatnot, but the company (and the forums) are well aware of them.  So why don't they get fixed?  The last few patches (post network issues) have caused game stibility problems, update/installation issues, and flat out bugs (favor ponts/items lost).  This is not the sign of a quality company.  Charge a premium price, produce a quality product.

Favor points and items being reset were on purpose when they reset all the stats.  This was not in anyway a "flat out bug".  The only bug with favor items is that it does not save an item as bought when you buy it (but you don't lose the points either).

Meh? That would be true if you were comparing it to the console versions, but the PC version of Call of Duty is $50, and I'm pretty sure it was the same cost at release. So Demigod's cheaper, but not by 45%, although the retail version of DG also costs $50.

Ah, well that sucks. Still, the retail version of DG is $50 over here, and the digital version is $40. So from the OP's stand point the game is premium price, or at the very least not 45% cheaper.

Ugh, I used to play console games, which are $60. And that's not including tax. In fact, the only reason I haven't bought a console game in awhile is because my Xbox 360 got the red rings like 2 months ago and I haven't bothered sending it in.

I don't want to be rude, however this is a multiplayer centric title. While the offline component is there and will receive attention eventually, I think the issues with the online component have rightly been given the higher priority. I'd recommend making a new thread detailing your exact issue for the developers to address.

Well it's more a cheat but since I had all favor items unlocked anyway I don't feel bad unlocking them the wrong way to get them back.

Thanks for the link.

Oh LOL same for me. I don't mind 'earning' all items back either, for me the fun is in the game, not in the reward
