- Added options to enable additional Demigods as the update rolls out
- Fixes a serious desync that could potentially resolve a number of problem cases in MP.

The scrollbar is still there for me (in Single Player Skirmish and Tournament), so I guess this problem only happens for some users.

Hmm wierd.... there is not a scrollbar for me. anyway it doesnt matter. i can still choose all demigods.

Ah, hang on, it works in Skirmish, but not in Tournament mode, sorry. The Tournament mode simply never had a Random Demigod selection so they probably didn't think of adding a scrollbar there too when adding the new Demigods for the Tournament.

I thought stardock will send an email to all demigod players about 1.2 to get them back.

There is nothing on the released list that wasn't discussed prior to the release.  There is nothing on the list that is not related to the items on the 'partial' list.  

What they did was leave off a few aspects of the items on the 'partial' list so that they could claim, for people as foolish as yourself, that, WOW, they released even more 'fixes', almost none of which actually seem to fix the issues.

Both of those things are completely irrelevent, as they don't change the fact that the partial and complete change logs are different, and that you apparently can't read.

And I suppose it never occurred to you that they they only showed a partial change list because they weren't sure of what they were going to fit in it.

Secondly, I don't play online because, surprise, I don't want to play a broken and unfinished game with other people.  This is not my cup of tea.

So, you bitch and moan about a game you don't even play, and admit to not playing. And, as Morpheas pointed out, 9 of your games are against AI. There's no way in hell you can complain about the game being broken, even if it is. I severely doubt you've ever experienced a single one of Demigod's more pressing problems.

Third, and try to follow me here, I don't use the Impulse interface because 1) It sucks, 2) It's slow, 3) It's phenomenally memory bloated, 4) It does not completely remove itself from memory when shut down.  Consequently, you see that I have played the game 10 times with the Impulse application.  

If you believed the numbers captured by the Impulse application, I have never played two of the games I purchased through Stardock, and I can assure that is not the case.

Impulse works perfectly for me, no idea of what you're talking about.

As to your complete lack of civility,

Pot calling kettle black.

well, I'm not shocked that, even when demonstrated to be wrong,

You haven't proven me wrong yet, sparky.

You are a fanboi.

  Correcting your false information doesn't make me a fanboy. I have not actually commented on the quality of the patch, nor am I defending it beyond the changes that were listed. Am I disappointed by v1.2? If most of the complaints are true than yes, I am. But I haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

You are a child.

I'm 16, which makes this all the more hilarious since, according to your profile, you are 33. Getting verbally abused and corrected in basic english by someone half your age.....

 

You are going to throw a temper tantrum and call me names.
 

:rofl: This coming from someone who's trolling on the forums of a game he doesn't even really play, and who called others "n00bs' in a previous thread for correcting him.

 

None-the-less, every release of a patch that does not include the material that is part of the original game is a bad release.
 

Include the material that is part of the original game? Aren't you complaining about new material?

Oh, and nonetheless is one word. 

Simply telling us before hand that, no, we're not going to give you this material does not make it ok.  That's some of the most idiotic logic I've ever had the displeasure of reading.

*Sigh* Again, reading comprehension. I never said it was okay, only that it's idiotic on your part to expect something in a patch when the Devs specifically say that it's not coming.

Further, you previously insisted that 1.2 might still have the new Demigods - on the clearly stupid theory that the patch list was 'partial',

Where the hell are you pulling this from? I never "insisted" that the new DG were coming in v1.2. If you are talking about my discussion with irek, we were talking about an annouced release date for v1.2, and never mentioned the new DG.

Good God, please learn how to read.

 

Now you suddenly pull out the 'it was never coming in 1.2' hogwash.  When I buy a car, if I am promised delivery of new tires within the week, and they tell me they're going to come back 2 months later with a can of oil and still not bring my tires, they are still jerks and incompetents that are breaking my contract - telling me up front that they will continue to ignore their responsibility does not make it ok!

No one promised a deadline. They said what might happen, what was planned to happen, but never said xxx is going to happen at xxx date. Back in August when there was a post saying the new DG might come in a few weeks, it said, very clearly, "no promises." Do I wonder what's taking so long? Yes, I do. But do I care enough to throw tantrums on the forums? No, I actually have important things in my life that are above a $50 video game.

LOL Spooky! This "no scrollbar" thing exists in tournament mode and in Achievements window.

Everything else is fine.

I am sure it will get fixed soon, as it is nothing too complicated, but until then its not a big issue for me.

Yes it is funny, but also true. I have no idea about coding games and stuff like that but i am sure this is something simple, and indeed a stupid mistake to do for a developer.

@JagerJack

You have played only 5 online games in Epoch 2. All your other games are in Epoch 1 and all are instant action matches. Of course Instant Action is now removed for a long time.

But your last game is in June 25 !!!! That is a long time ago. You probably have never seen an Invalid Gamestate Error.

So please, play a few games, and watch how "nice" it is to have your game ruined after 30 minutes or so just because someone knows how to exploit the game, and doesnt want to get a loss recorded.

I agree with you, you usually make good points, but for us who play a lot of demigod, it is a little difficult to say good things about the game.

Get more games buddy >_>

Of course, I don't deny that.

I have actually.

It's annoying, but considering that stats are useless anyway I don't tend to get worked up about it anymore than ragequitters. I know that I won.

I agree with you, you usually make good points, but for us who play a lot of demigod, it is a little difficult to say good things about the game.

I can understand the increased frustration of someone who, say, has played 500 games to my 80 something(probably over 100 games including ones that weren't recorded), but that doesn't mean that I'm not frustrated with the game either. I didn't quit the game due to boredom.

I simply give credit where credit is due.

I'll start playing again after Epoch 3. You better watch out for me. ;)

^^^^ I didn't mean for that to rhyme.

Of course as many people did. lots of issues and bugs.....

He He i am looking forward to playing with/against you in Epoch 3.

And i hope this time they can reset my stats. Cause in last reset, my stats were intact.

Oh but it did rhyme nicely^^

On the bright side, shamblers now have a minimum range and do close to attack targets. On the down side, it is now obvious that they get in each others way and sometimes block each other out.

Also the waypoints on Exile for AI movement aren't very good. I was watching Occulus and the Demon Assassin move on it, and they kept zigzagging.

Wasn't the invalid game stat hack supposed to be addressed too?

It was addressed many times, and 1 of the factors that were causing it was fixed. The other ones still remain.

First of all ZhenDon stfu.... All i hear everytime you posted is "if u dont like it then leave"  thank you we all get your message, dont need to repeat it 100 times over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over (all and over are typed not pasted :D )again. Please say something constructive for a change, something constuctive based on facts.

" how you believe Demigod could have been the greatest game ever made, but it's just a terrible mess of code that works for no one,"

thats a fact for a change, And true one too - good job. Did you ever try to read reviews of demigod other then those that are shown on main page. for example IGN says same thing: great game, innovative, very beatifull but online expierience ruins it all.

But this game was made for online play, and by being soo poor in performing it we keep loosing players.

We were hoping that 1.2 will bring us demigod back to live, yet another disapoitment after such a long waiting. Fixes are minor at most and seems that new bugs have arised (meesed up sounds, bugged lobbys). Throwing those 2 demigods in just show us they existing is like spitting in users face. I belived they existed when i saw youtube movie. You just throw hungty dog a bone with lots of meat on it but also shorten his chain so he cant reach it.

Last bot not least. Does it seriusly need to take another 6 f/////n moths to put missing animation for TB so he can attoatack and follow ??? Serisuly this is shamefull and pittyfull.

Ps. How many times do i need to beg everyone for unranked game mode?

If you don't like the treatment we're receiving, leave. No one's forcing you to stay here. It's as simple as that. I, for one, am happy with things thus far.

No one may be forcing him, but the idea that he paid for a (partially) broken game may compel him to stay and voice his complaints.  It may seem quite simple to you, being that you're happy with it, but alot of folks are not happy with it - is that not obvious?

What would you have anyone who is unhappy do?  Shut up, delete it, and never again play a game they shelled out 40 bucks (maybe less, don't know the current pricing) for? 

The "STFU and leave" mentality won't solve anything any more than nonsensical bitching will.

How about creating a thread detailing their issues with the game in a constructive manner rather than in disconnected or unrealted threads? Perhaps posting in the technical support forum detailing any ongoing technical issues with the game and requesting assistance from other community members or contact [email protected] for further assistance instead of just complaining over and over again? How about instead of trolling and using the forum to just shout their issues are everyone they participate in the community a little?

Oh, well give use more details on it.
@ heavenlysynn

It seems now that your DG remeber his last AA target so when you use a skill or item even with cast time not instant, your DG will automatically go back to AA whatever it was hitting before. I was attacking a tower and then TP out back to base. My Oak immediatly started running back to that tower to hit it again (strange) !!! Another thing that happened is that I issued a move command to back off after I was hitting a tower because I got low on health, and immediatly after that my Oak AND even the monks start running back towards that tower !!!! I dunno if this has happened to other people.

Overall, I love the two new DGs. The DA is very powerfull and freaking fast, and Oculus is just AWSOME !!!!!strange, and am i the only one who hasnt seen the dg in game yet?

Still waiting for an apology :P.
