"Multiplayer" gaming

from Demigod Forums

Hello,

I would like to preface this post by stating that i enjoy this game, and even like playing the single player.

However the multiplayer aspect has a lot to be desired.

I know this is a common complait already but i want to add my voice to the mix of what i experienced tonight.

 

I was playing the pantheon multiplayer option

After waiting up to 5 mins to join games i would start talking to find out how many human players there were per game.

At the end of 4 games i "spoke" to no more than 6 people with the rest (over 13) being bots

No why call something multiplayer when it really isnt. At best it could be called teamplay vrs bots or something to that effect.

 

Would really like to see some improvement in this area as it will directly impact the long term gameplay for me and im guessing alot of others.

Cheers,

Originally, the intention was to start players off facing only a couple of other actual players and then slowly phase out the AI over time.  They're releasing a patch this afternoon that's either going to phase out those AI players more quickly (after only a few games) or make them nonexistant completely.

Company of Heroes had the same issue when it came out
lots of players including me end up fighting vs bots or vs players but with HUGE lags
i remember the best part of though as there were so many really funny moments due to lags :rofl:

Like the guy who droped a nuke on 80% of his army because of lag lolz
(he tried to pull the squads and tanks away but they moved only on his computer
while to all the other players who saw it the army just stood there in the middle of the blast)
