The weirdest thing happened.....

Seriously.....

from Demigod Forums

I was playing a 2v2 Crucible map for players under 50 games......and well everything seemed fine. Me and my teasm-mate had only 5 games between us whilst they had about 60-70 between them......so you can imagine the difference in skill levels. I was Oak, my ally was Rook, and they were Sedna and Unclean Beast. You can definitely imagine what happened. Credit to all three players I played with; you were all great. Anyway.....we were getting beaten badly; it was because they were ganking Rook and making fun of his slow speed (it wasn't my ally's fault at all), and they had us cornered.

I knew their weak link was Unclean Beast, and we managed to kill him twice, but they sorta got to our citadel with giants. Anyway, just outside the citadel 'ring' where everything is, the Unlcean Beast player suddenly lagged out. No joke. Suddenly I thought; 'we can beat em bcos AI's are nothing compared to real-life players', and guess what happened? Sedna lagged out. And it auto-defaulted that me and my ally won, when we were on the verge of defeat. Seriously.

WTF!

This just happened like 5 minutes ago. I'm still laughing/astounded. Again, all credit to the guys I was playing with/against; you were all great. But still......that's just BS. I feel really sorry for the opposing team at the moment. What do u guys think? Weird or what?

If your opponents quit then you win. It's a side effect of people not wanting to finish games when the whole other teams disconnects.

Yeah I know.....but it's just weird that they decided to quit right when they were going to win when we were still playing. I'm still confused heh.

The incomprehensible variety of the bugs in Demigod is what keeps me coming back.

I rofled at that comment. It is true, no matter how ahrd it is to admit. Still, for a game developer that makes a lot of updates that cost cash, I think they've done pretty well for themselves.

"they have done pretty well" are you serious?!! i´ve never seen such an incompetent developer as this one! so many patches already and the game is still bugged like hell! well done! it´s a pitty the gameplay is really fun.

For me, there are very little bugs watsoever. And when you consider how often they updated Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance, you would seriously take that comment straight off. Demigod was always going to be buggy, especially with it's P2P connection system (which was required actually), so please; don't blame GPG. They support their games, and they have fixed an astounding amount of issues since the game has been released. If you want to blame a developer for incompetence, look at the majority of EA's games; they are the most buggy pieces of crap on the planet half the time. Look at Mercs 2, then whine about GPG.

Sorry, but I don't think you understand how hard it is for GPG when they are working on Supreme Commander 2 at the same time. My apologies, but if you are a DotA fan and comparing GPG to the mod-creators, please don't. Patching an actual game which costs money and patching a mod for free are too entirely different things. Sure, GPG employees get paid for it, but it's way more taxing than free work.

i´ve got supreme commander here, yes they patched a lot, but that has nothing to do with demigod.

i´ve never played dota.

i´m only comparing demigod with the majority of games out there which arent flawed like this one.

we´ve seen numerous patches, but the game is still bugged as hell... yes, they support, but its a must, cause there are so many bugs! if the game had been properly working since start, it had not needed that kind of support.

before working on 2 games at the same time, i´d rather finish one game. it´s obviously to much for them!

yes, i blame gpg/sd. who else is there to blame?

either incompetent in development or in management/organisation. or maybe both!

 

demigod is on the same (bug-)level as stalker 1 or armed assault 2.

Sorry if I was rude, but trust me, for what it is Demigod is pretty darn good. DotA has had hundreds of patches and updates, and it can still be glitchy as all hell. I dunno what it is, but it's the exact same thing with Demigod. And by the way, when I said GPG have updated Supreme Commander a lot, I was referring to your post that they are an incompetent developer (which just isn't true).

Uhh if you have that many issues with the game, I think it's your computer. I have played unpatched Demigod on quite a few computers, and patched Demigod on mine; there is a world of difference, but the bug levels are no where near Stalker's. A couple of facts; 1. Demigod runs on the exact same engine as Supreme Commander, just heavily updated (or so they say). 2. For quite a lot of people, Demigod is bug-free. 3. For quite a lot of people as well, Demigod can be buggy as all hell. 4. Some games just have tonnes of issues with certain computers. 5. Honestly, if you are serious about having as many bugs as a Stalker game (for Demigod) then I don't think it is necessarily the game at all. And 6. Lots of developers work on two games at once, and GPG isn't exactly a small developer.

GPG are pouring a lot of effort into Demigod, and they will for sometime; obviously though, they will not make that much money if all they do is use money to update/add stuff to the game. This is why developers tend to start making a game before they even start patching the first one they are producing. They actually do have the capability to do it, and just ebcause you might have a lot of issues with the game and people on the forums say they do doesn't mean diddly. Think about it; only 23% or so of people who bought the game went on multiplayer, and it's only that 23% (maybe less, maybe a bit more) that openly say stuff in the forums which means there is likely a tonne of people who don't have issues with the game. Thena gain, we just don't know. This immediately invalidates your post, because you are obviously angry that the game is buggy for you or someone you know; that never means most other people have the same issues. So please, actually think through the stuff about Demigod; for what it is, consider us all lucky that GPG constantly works to fix all the issues.

Just a question....if you have the game, have you patched it? Wouldn't that fix some of your issues? If it doesn't, then there is something really wrong with your computer, or your issues aren't exactly ones that can be fixed by a patch. GPG have done a tripe load of patches and fixes, so assuming that just because people you see still have issues doesn't mean that GPG can't handle this. Patches take time, and time is money.

Again, sorry if I was rude. If you want, post me your computer specs and elaborate on what issues you have and I'll go over them for you, and go to Stardock's support for help. Complaining a lot about the stuff doesn't help anyone; if you tell us your problems, someone might help you fix it; you never know until you try. Again, sorry if I have ticked you off with my post, but I just thought I should...you know....talk.
