I completely agree this game is more than 2 1/2 months after release and it feels like I'm testing a game in early beta.  I like the game...wait I should say I like the genre unfortunatly this happens to be one of the only choices....well the industry is catching on and this game will be just a small bump in the road when they look at the early stages of the MOBA genre.  I see a TON of fan boys posting their love for this game but c'mon guys how long do you have to be BEATEN down before you lose hope?  Now I know a bunch of you nerd ragers are like "well if you dont like the game dont play" stfu and come up with something new I want to play games of this genre I just dont have a selection yet.  Unfortunatly I've given this game enough time to come along and with the 2 1/2 months that its been out the things that were supposedly "fixed" are minimal and I would argue that they havent been fixed much at all.  I mean alt tab CRASH almost every time wtf connection issues all over the place.  Also I remember reading in early May that within a few weeks we'd hear about new Demigods and maps but its late June and NOTHING yet...I mean are these aliens from area 52 that you need to keep secret?  You should tell people just to keep them interested in this turd log of a game.  Oh and also if you want to make Pantheon and skirmish work put in a TEAM QUE it would fix it more than anything else you are trying to do.  And please do check my record I am a team que'er...before you bitch at me and say I'm not skilled please come challenge me to a game.  Anywho flame away fanboys FLAME AWAY.

lawl because if its released by a "decent" reputable company then it has all of the stuff you mentioned FROM DAY 1.  lol I mean this games MASSIVE player base is a testament to how awsomely flawed this game is compared to others that are released...they patch quicker if something is screwy and they work generally a lot better and have more of things that are REQUIRED from an online PVP game than Demigod has.  These things you've mentioned come a little to late....by the time they hit there will be about 1500 people (WOOHOO) at any given time to actually benefit from them.  Being the gold medalist in the special olympics isnt anything to brag about =\.

 Well if you are upset with ai opponents you should be pissed at the players quitting your game when it starts

And yes I have had to alt tab out of the game where it froze up in the menus, but it wasnt a big deal, just ctrl alt delete, task manager, end task, open impulse, and play game. Its not a deal breaker for me though, my comp isnt that great and not unexpected. Honestly it rarely happens to me. If it happens every game for you i think you might want to check your drivers, and it might help to go into the sound menu and unclick reverb. Helped me.

And depending on who you ask, like me, balance is a part of making the game work .

I can agree with that, but the rest of your post is more out of frustration than the truth. There are crashes sometimes, but it doesn't make the game unplayable. The game works, it's just badly lacking with community features and the promised new content.

Too be Honest,Im kinda getting tired of this Game.I think it was worth my money,but i also think that this game wont have more than a few hundred people playing it at best by the end of the year.Despite what Stardock says about this game,Im pretty sure that this was a quick cash in.8 heros and 8 maps without much depth is not a great way to wow a crowd,then they promise more content and fixes,but the Insane delay on something as simple as just 2 new heros shows a MASSIVE lack of commitment from the developer.Take this last patch as an example,The few features they added(The random option for Demigod Selection) consistently selects the SAME heros,and this last patch just reset ALL of my favour items(As in,i have no bought items,i had no score but the achievements were still all recorded,so i couldn't quickly rack up favour again).A simple patch,and it created more problems than it fixed.To be honest i dont think that their communist approach was a wonderful idea either.By Communist i mean "Well if one person lags,They should ALL lag!!" and "Well if one idiot plays the game with a pathetic system,we shouldn't punish them,lets just slow down EVERYONES game so they can catch up!". I really hope that they either finnaly finish this game(If you need more money then just offer us additional heros for a price!!If they are good,i wouldnt mind paying!!) or actually admit that they needed to cover their costs and sold the game before they finished it.I do Apologize if this causes any hurt or aggitation,but i was really fond of this game when i bought it,and i think it could be a great game,if only they cared enough to give the game the attention it so desperatly needs
