[quote]PUG Voice chat is LOL. You'll have some 13 year old who sounds like his voice can break glass screaming at his team mates "OMFG WHY DIDN'T YOU HEAL ME YOU BUNCH OF F'N NOOBS" ... "YOU GUYS SUCK ZOMG MY MOTHER COULD PLAY BETTER THEN YOU" - Screaming 13 year old then Rage quits, followed by his team mates conceding... just like any other PUG except with txt chat no one had to hear his annoying Shrills.[/quote] I'd argue for a "Squelch/Mute Player" option in-game to minimize the p

[quote]High sim, no doubles. so its something like 2v2[US][Pre][ 5 sim][/quote] It's not bulletproof; unless [i]everybody[/i] starts using those abbreviations, a lot of people are going to have no idea what "nq", "nd", or even "Pre" mean. Or "Premade", for that matter. I play premade games on Ventrilo with mehoo462; we put "Premade" in the title of our custom games. Two of our last four games, I'

This is only tangentially related to ragequitting, but: if we're adding a Team Concede vote, what about a global Return to Lobby vote? I would imagine this primarily for Pantheon/Skirmish games, though it could easily apply to Custom games as well; if a person lags out at the beginning, or drops, or ragequits at the first kill, or the players don't like the automatched teams or the presence of AIs, someone could initiate a Return to Lobby vote. If the vote passes with a majority

Here's another 3v2 that seems to have nothing to do with player experience levels: http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/640896/player/51277/ When two members of the team of 3 have [b]each[/b] played more games than the players on the team of 2 [b]combined[/b], something really wonky is going on. It was like clubbing baby seals; I gave it a shot, but I'm nowhere good enough to face those odds;

[b]This is why we need replays.[/b] Assuming, for the sake of argument, that stats/connectivity issues are ironed out: if I'm playing a Pantheon game and somebody does this to me, I will likely lose. (Assuming that the exploiter has worked out a method of reducing his/her risk while performing the exploit, and can therefore maximize its effectiveness.) I don't have a lot of other options: * I can vote to concede. Probably what's going to happen, in any case;

[quote]Since I play Sedna a lot, the thought of having to get most my gold from minions (or even kills) makes me grimmise; if only I got some gold/xp/favor for healing.[/quote] What if you got "assist" credit for buffing a teammate who goes on to kill an enemy DG (in the next 30s or something?) TF2 has something similar, where the Medic class gets an assist point for healing somebody who then gets a kill . . . this would give Sedna/QoT/Oak another reason to use Heal/Bramble Shie

[quote]Also, I was aware of the alt-tab bug. And yet, I alt-tabbed out of force of habit . Because other games don't crash when you alt-tab . Is that an unreasonable expectation? That the game won't crash when you interact with it in a completely normal way?[/quote] This. Admittedly, Demigod isn't the only game to have issues alt-tabbing; Source-engine games used to crash hard (though they now simply hang for several m

I was the "one of them gets a fatal error" guy mentioned above. I alt-tabbed again to change Ventrilo channels since we weren't playing with knardi anymore, and the host started the game while I was alt-tabbed. Around the same time, I got an Unhandled Exception popup box and my game crashed. Other issues encountered: my own personal issue where someone can connect to me but I can't ever connect back to them (I've never seen "proxied" after my name while playing DG), and a

I disagree with your assertion that tactical behavior (such as flanking and ambushes), item purchases, and tower upgrades have no effect on the game as it now stands. Even on Crucible, the opportunity exists to perform a wide variety of tactical behaviors, including but not limited to: leaving the lane to capture an opponent's flag, causing them to divert their attention; baiting a Demigod forward by appearing weak so that your partner can appear and crush them; teleporting behind an

Quick question: are the Demigods on the same teams every Pantheon tournament? Or do their Light/Dark allegiances get reshuffled from time to time? The latter would reinforce the "arbitrary blood sport" nature of what lore does exist . . .

I'm curious to hear what people think about a potential Hybrid Oak build; one that focuses on Penitence (for anti-DG abilities) and relies on minions to boost DG damage? The build foregoes Shield and Last Stand, and postpones Surge of Faith, to pump both Penitence and Raise Dead. Divine Justice gets 1-2 points, and Soul Power gets 1. I tend to put my last few points into Minion boosts and Divine Justice to gain benefit from the brutal Surge of Faith / Divine Justice creep-

[quote quoting="post"] Whenever I bite with erebus I automatically stop attacking my target and re target something else. Whenever I use an item while running like wand of speed, my demigod stops running turns around and immediatly auto attacks someone. This can be bad while running away [/quote] +1. When I'm chasing another Demigod and I trigger Wand of Speed to run them down, it would be nice for my DG to resume running after the Wand of Spee
