There have been many suggestions posted, even before my post on the other thread. THB id be happy with any one of them instead of what we have now. I dont believe they have any plans to change them in 1.1, so I suppose we will be stuck with this broken mechanic for some time now. The answer is pretty obvious really. Make them better/cost less/give less gold,xp. Doesnt take another thread to figure out whats already been said many times. I shouldnt have to warn teammates every

[quote who="woca" reply="21" id="2272174"]so, don't bitch on forums because you were too lazy to talk to your teammate[/quote] As I said (but you obviously didnt read that far) I think its pretty rude to be lectured by a stranger on what to do/not do. I feel I'm being bossy if I do that. It has nothing to do with being lazy. (But thanks for the insult anyway)

[quote who="Remiel" reply="17" id="2272116"]Poorly balanced? No, it's part of the strategy in this game. Knowing which upgrades to make at the right time to benifit your team in their current situation. Learning not to summon Priests too soon is something people learn, or something team mates learn to work with when someone does. More to the point, this isn't a BUG, and shouldn't have had such a childish and demanding "Fix" thread name. Stop teaching people

Sorry but its just incredibly frustrating when you're having a good close game and then suddenly you know the game is pretty much auto loss because the enemy are being fed priests. And its not just the extra feeding for them, but now your creep is killing their creep, so to get anywhere near their creep you often have to go right up to their towers. They can just sit back and let your creep kill their creep and advance up close to their towers and pick the creep off. So you're forced into mee

Im sick and tired of losing games on this because some noob fruitcake decides to get the priest upgrade and feed our enemies. Its pretty much gg if you get priests early. I am sick and tired of losing from this and theres not a damn thing I can do about it. How about being able to "unbuy" upgrades. or make priests worth a lot less gold/xp. While your about fix the damn forums. Im sick of getting timeout errors when I click on "general". What are you using to run these forums, a trs 80

[quote who="dgl-DalzK" reply="6" id="2271009"]If you consider having 3.2k online at one time "dead" then yes, Demigod is very dead [/quote] I see these numbers being quoted by others too (even frogboy), but Ive gone to the server page http://www.demigodthegame.com/opengames.aspx during what should be prime time for the US (and for eu), and the most Ive ever seen on was a bit over 800. Is there some other source for finding number of players online?

[quote who="woca" reply="25" id="2269324"] open beta had nothing to do with poor release. the game was put on piratebay, server overload.... open beta may have allowed more people to test but i doubt enough to overload servers and even though they had a small community they already knew about connections being shitty SO IN YOUR FACE, research before being an asshole[/quote] Pot meet kettle. The problems we've been having with multiplay

Theres no doubt that the initial problems with networking and the bad reviews from peope such as gamespot hurt the sales. Id like this game to do better, particularly as I live in Australa and find it impossible to get a game at many times of the day. Hopefully it can get around by word of mouth and overcome its bad ratings to some extent. I wouldnt say the game is dying, but its not doing fantastic either. What has happened was well deserved though. Stardock should have known enough to do a

Sadly this game has one of the worst ommunities Ive had the displeasure to play in for as long as I can remember. Id consider myself an average player, and my game history is about 50-50. Yet Ive been cussed out, sworn at, told im a *** idiot etc etc etc just in the last few days, and usually by people who have no more claim to fame than myself. Im not going to argue that Im always right. maybe I did make a mistake and not do xyz as expected by player x, but some of th

[quote who="DeadMG" reply="2" id="2261913"]Well it's your fault really. Why don't you just let the man quit if they are getting spanked? Unless you are hunting for favor points, there is no point in insisting that the other team stays in the game after defeat is certain. What Izzo said.[/quote] Quoted for truth. If the outcome is certain, why should you care if they stay in the game. You still get your reward. Theres a big difference

[quote who="Kaerar" reply="9" id="2260255"]Yeah I played with Lasheic09 the other day too.[/quote] I refuse to play with him, tho its tempting to play UB against him. Rude, arrogant, and nothing special as a player.

Ill definitly be buying elemental. I enjoy supporting publishers who put in a bit of effort to make sure the game gets finished and who don't bog us down with DRM. As for other Stardock titles, wait and see. I dont usually buy a heap of games becuase Id sooner just stick with a few good ones.

Please give me lots of yummy tasty priests if you are in the opposite team.

I play UB all the time, and he isnt the ultimate melee fighter, even at the start and end of the game. I am continually outlasted by sedna and oak, but usually I heavily invest in speed so I can get away. Regulus and TB tend to be fairly easy kills at the beginning so rock paper scissors seems to be working ok. A well played erebus usually gets the better of me. At late game I usually find myself much weaker than oak, and sedna can still be a major problem. As usual a w

It is a whole lot beter for me for connecting. In fact the games Ive payed so far and the lobbies Ive joined have all been perfect so far.

[quote who="JMB1984" reply="10" id="2252346"]i have a very good feeling that your problems will be solved by the next update[/quote] Played a game with some USA players and connected to a couple of USA lobbies and it worked perfectly so far. Will update this post as I play more.

[quote who="braaad" reply="19" id="2248307"]Some people have no sense of humour.[/quote] Oh it was funny, the problem was it went on and on and on and got annoying. Maybe if you had linked to something shorter (and less annoying) you would have gotten a different response. (but it was your intention to be annoying so c'est la vie)

[quote who="braaad" reply="7" id="2247352"]This needs to be fixed! [/quote] Consider yourself reported for posting this crap. (Theres a link to youtube in his post)

quit then. It will show up on your stats when you enter lobbies and you will find yourself getting booted. Have fun.

I just played a game where someone got replaced early by the AI. First thing it did was buy priests. Lots of nice tasty goodnes to the opponents, who of course outlevelled us easily. I did notice it wasnt dying as much, but buying priests for your opponents early on is pretty mucy conceding the match. Note that at that stage we had enough war rank for our first gold upgrade, and needed it. So I ended up buying all the gold upgrades

I am running a billion 7401 adsl router with 5.71 firmware (I think thats the most recent) I am using Internode as an ISP. Ive passed all the checks listed above. Verified with the port checker program. serverproxy isnt an option since im in australia. I have put my logs and screenshots into my webspace, and you can access it here...

I find the game works fine if im onnecting to people in my own country with low ping. Once I start trying to connect with pings in the 200-300+ I get frozen at people attempting to connect to me. Yet this was working fine before the last patch. Ive done all the things. Forwarded ports and checked them with the port checker program. No firewall. Running ADSL with plenty of upload bandwidth for a 5v5 game. My ISP doesnt filter/throttle/bloc

I also get this exact problem. [quote who="kryo" reply="3" id="2242433"]Does your router use symmetric NAT?[/quote] I have no idea. I tried reading up on it but it went over my head. I have a billion 7401 with the most recent firmware if thats any help. Edit: I dont seem to have these problems when connecting to people in my own country. Just when pings get over 200 or 300 I start having problems. Perhaps it is some timing issue? It seems to be b
