So, you think that 80% of my games are unbalanced due to PreMade quitting? I find that hard to believe. Anyway, I ask Frogboy more in this thread: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/357073
Can I get some clarification on this pls. You say that the biggest reason u get weird matchups is due to people quitting cos they want to do premades. What percentage of unbalanced teams would u say is due to: 1) Premade team quitting. 2) The system making unfair teams on purpose (due to ranking etc). The follow-up question to this is: Would you say that if: 1) Premade Quitting was eliminated by introducing a Premades Only Pantheon (and

Yes, u CAN win games even if you have less members (or vice versa) but it's outstandingly rare. (I had a game yesterday where I was in a 3v2... my team mate wanted to play so I did... one guy on the other side ragequit the first time I killed him... which immediately gave my side an advantage since we could hit his AI replacement. Again, that's a pretty stupid game... start with uneven sides which then turns into an advantage for my side cos of their extra AI player...) My point is th

Depends what kind of person u are. If you like to play a game where it's unbalanced, then sure, play on. I'd rather play a fair game with equal number of players. Considering I'll quit as soon as I see an unbalanced team, it won't make any dfference to me if I'm kicked. I guess you're the type of person who get put into a 3v1 domination and think you're excellent for staying at it and going for the win. Some may applaud u, I say you have too much time.<
Here's the official line. Demigod Pantheon connecitivity is smooth and as good as it's ever going to get. Your problems were either: 1) People left cos they wanted to be on a premade team. 2) The 3v2 was intentional since your rank suggests that you can handle non-equal teams. If you don't like it, you are suggested that you don't play Pantheon.
Why would it fail? Let the system kick you without losing any points. It means that u don't waste time playing a game with an unequal number of players. Really, think about it a bit more.
I didn't realise this about matching 3v2. That is the by far the worst idea I've heard in multiplayer matchmaking in the history of RTS games. I'm starting to wonder if the guy in charge of the multiplayer portion of DG has EVER played an RTS game. Pantheon basically doesn't work (which is mostly attributed to people leaving the queue on purpose in order to play as a premade... I find that extremely hard to believe but if you say so....), there are no useful community
I had a 5 v 0 today! Coolio. I also had a 3v2 where I was on the 3 side (with 2 other players) against a premade team. When we stomped them, they cried about how they would have won if it were fair....
Well, tried 2 more Pantheon games. 1 was a 3v3.... 2+1 AI against 3 AI. Fantastic. The other was a 2v1 (which turned into a 2vAI after 20 seconds). Still, I'm told it's as good as it's gonna get so I must be unlucky.
So is that it for Pantheon connectivity issues? It's as good as it's gonna get? ie the biggest reason why you hardly ever get a proper 2v2 is that people purposefully disconnect before the game launches? I came back to the game after a week, played a Pantheon game last night, looked like it was gonna be a 2v2 but ended up being 1v1 with an AI on either side. Obviously, that ended up being an 'Abuse the AI' game. Even tho I managed to win by having an easier AI to kill
No, I meant, why do people go to Pantheon and try and get a game with their buddies? It's 10000000 times easier to set up a custom game.
What's the point in doing that? (ie why not play custom?)
Actually, I take it all back. You know what would be the SIMPLEST fix would be for now? Make all pantheon matches 1v1 (until bigger games can be fixed I mean). I'd be happy with that!
No, not at all. And your point being?

The problem is that you all keep complaining long after Stardock hears about the problems. They know it is messed up. Flaming the people that are making an effort to keep you in the loop is stupid. It hinders communication, and you are doing more har
What I find sad is that if you complain, you are called a flamer, poorly informed, negative, ignorant, bitch, whiner. Pantheon is a WHOPPER part of this game (to the extent that it's given a tab all of it's own on this website) and we all know it doesn't work and never has worked properly. When did it become ok for the customer to be flamed when he complains about things that are not working? How much should the customer care WHO does the fixing and how much effort is
[quote who="themadmanazn" reply="3" id="2248581"]I get in pantheon games in udner 5min pretty much always. Same goes for skirmish I am not sure about custom games working "flawlessly" People WILL connect... eventually. However in most cases it takes a long time to get a game going if it is 5v5 or 4v4. [/quote] I find that I can get in under 5 mins but I never have balanced teams. Do u get a full 2v2 every time or is it just me?
Well, there's no real point in talking about points and rank when most games now is decided in the first second. ie who has more AIs. The only thing I can get from the Pantheon score atm (Darkness are winning) is that light players disconnect more often. (yes that's a stupid conclusion in order to highlight the futility of talking about score)
I think Pantheon has got worse since 1.01. Before, getting a 2v2 was acceptable. Now, the majority of my games are unequal. Weird.
Or just kill the game with a Desync Error. Other RTSs have done this in the past.
What happened to PotBS?
I don't think doom and gloom posts help or not help. If you got a game which is predominantly multiplayer and that part of the game doesn't work, that's pretty serious. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing Demigod but this game is going to be another SupCom. Fantastic potential let down by amazing flaws which will shorten it's lifespan considerably. SupCom: Great game except most people couldn't run it. Demigod: Great game except multiplayer didn't work
350 ms is certainly not unplayable. I had a game with a Californian and a Russian (I'm in UK) and it was between 400 and 500 ping. It was VERY playable. I'm guessing your ping is unstable.
