the 5 stages of Demigod

from Demigod Forums

Denial: "No, this $40 game that is built from the ground up for multiplayer can't possibly be so bugged that multiplayer doesn't WORK.  That would be TOO retarded, the problem must be on my end."

Anger: "Oh, my God!  They really did release a multiplayer game without functioning multiplayer!  And I bought it!  They took me for a fool and I played right into their hands.  Now I'm really mad!"

Bargaining: "Ok, there are apparently loads of people having the same issues as me, but I'll give it a chance.  Maybe if I do some research and follow all the suggestions I will figure a way out of this and be able to get multiplayer working.  Maybe if I post very politely and join the chorus the developer will quickly release a patch and fix it."

Depression: "None of the suggestions work.  I've wasted two hours of my life fiddling with settings and the game just isn't going to work.  There's no new update to make all this go away.  I'm sad and tired of trying."

Acceptance: "It doesn't matter whether I deny it, get angry about it, try to fix it or get depressed about it, it's just the way it is.  Perhaps it will get fixed, perhaps it won't.  Life will go on -- it's not as if I've just been told I have 2 days to live..."

I enjoyed this, but the part about wasting 2 hours getting it to work I think was a mistake.  More like 10.  For me it does work now, but getting into a game is still kinda slow like molasses going up a hill.  Connecting to each player in the lobby take like 15 seconds each, then you often have 2 people not connecting so one has to rejoin.  Takes like 5 minutes to get a game going in ideal conditions which seems a bit off.

 

Beats 10 hours of glitchy menus though.

you forgott the 6 stage:

 

Refund: "I just send a mail to the billing support and will get a 100% refund because the game is not working so i can buy something els that will (hopefully) work."
