controls and bugs

from Demigod Forums

First off, I think there needs to be an auto-attack toggle. Too many times have I sent my minions in and left my demi standing off a distance only to come back from microing my minions to find my demi standing in the middle of combat, it seems he will chase enemy minions or enemy creeps, and that just wont do, because I told him to stand there. And what is up with minions getting distracted by _anything_ that gets in their path. I said attack target A! Not turn around and attack target B! I intend them to move to point A, not get there then wander off into a tower's range!!!

So, now we get to the point. Whatever was done to fix the no chase bug didn't fix the "stand there like an idiot not responding to my commands while I spam (insert skill here)" bug. I don't know how many times I've been grinning to myself as I click to land the coupe de grace and realize (as the enemy begins running away) that not only is my demigod not listening to commands, he's also not chasing the now fleeing enemy. I'm getting really frustrated with having to click the ground before my demigod and/or minions will do ANYTHING besides autoattack. I kept track tonight, and it made me miss 5 kills, and get killed 3 times, in just two games.

I understand connection problems being a priority and everything, but this is HIGHLY FRUSTRATING. Also consider with the 5/11 patch business going on, I've gotten in only 2 games in the past 6 hours of trying. Game worked fine before beta, during the beta, but put everyone on the same page, and splat: sloppy mess. *sigh*

still frustrating, still a problem. am I the only one with this problem/noticing it? tonight a teammate even got mad at me for not helping while he died. i'm a pretty experienced gamer and would like to think i'm not overlooking some feature that makes my demi stop responding mid combat.

So I must be the only one with this proglem? SD support, can I fix this? Do you plan on fixing this? Is this problem going to remain and frustrate me until i just quit playing the game over some silly kill I missed or death that happened as my demi stood there not responding? Is this even a bug? wow SD support you guys freaking rock at aleviating my frustration/confusion on this matter. thanks a lot. I like many other posting in the SUPPORT forum are really glad we're not getting replies. I don't count because my game connects? okay.

oh so today my game stop connecting to ppl during online play. also, sometimes my demi stops responding to commands and i have to click to move before he will do anything. better?

I'm not trying to sound like a booger, but I'm going to keep bumping this thread until somebody acknowledges it. I haven't gotten a reply to emails or this thread, and I'm guessing there's SD and GPG staff crawling all over this forum. I dont' really need one of the poor guys putting in 108 hour weeks to come in here and hold my hand instead of doing stuff that's more important, but darnit, is a fix for this going to happen or is it one of those fun kind of bugs that gets ignored until it's just there in the background always, deal with it? Plans or no plans(to fix it)? aware of it or not? ignore it or get to it later? who knows! Sheesh I'd like to.

today a teammate commented that he witnessed this happen to me in one game on a couple occassions.
