I have not been playing Patheon, but when I did, the most common issue I ran into was that a person "left the game" right after loading into the game, or lost connection before the game launched and yet the game still started. It does not matter which team I am on, if this happens, I will just leave the game then and there. The AI is so bad that it actually feeds the other side gold (especially the melee gods - Rook is just horrendous). AI demigods should not award cas

No favor points accumulating here either. Played both custom and patheon.

[quote quoting="post"] One of the things that I have felt really bad about is that players are made to feel like they can't concede a game lest they be called "rage quitters". [/quote] This will only work if the concede option is only available after 10 minutes of play. Otherwise it can be abused.

1. Fix favor. I still do not accumulate favor. 2. More maps. 3. With more maps, a random map feature. 4. Random demigods. 5. Reasses the favor items. The swift anklet must be the favorite by far. So it either needs to be nerfed, or the other items made more attractive. 6. Include rankings next to people's name. Does not need to be numeric, but some indication of where they stand. Nothing worse than getting into a 3v3

I was skeptical at first, but tonight for custom games went much better than any night before.

[quote who="PunningPundit" reply="16" id="2206294"] even while it's been "broken" they've got it working for+90% of the people who are using it. [/quote] So the chances of getting a 3v3 going are .9^6 = 53%. That actually seems to match my experience. I haven't tried the new patch yet, but I have high hopes! Each time I read a journal entry I get the expectation that it is finally all working. . . then I read the comments. [e digicons]8C[/e]

My only issue with towers is that the mana cost seems rather light once you get the right helm. When I play rook, I don't recall having any mana issues at all even though I had tower farms.

Nah, I am sure they made this change solely based community outcry. It is not like they don't have statistic after statistic from the games over the last 3 weeks showing how dominating that Erebus could be. That can't be it at all. It has to be the peanut gallery.

[quote who="Xinoxlx" reply="11" id="2201422"] Wasn't what you said but how you said it, your attitude.Your attitude bugs me that you simply can't wait, you simply have to play the game. [/quote] I too think that it is unreasonable that you believe the game should have a working multiplayer mode 3 weeks after release.

Gawd. I feel like it's one step forward and 4 steps backward. The lobby before game launch keeps crashing. Now I can't even log back into Demigod because of an Invalid user name. It's nice that you can get into the lobby fast now, but it sure seems like people that fail to connect take up a slot anyway. I have sat there in a 5/6 game for 10 minutes and no one joined. Weird if it was showing in the game browser that no one would join a nearly full game.

Asking the ETA for a patch after the current patch, which has not been release, is a retarded question. I may not agree with having to beta test their software since release, but one area where the pu

[quote who="StAcK3D_ActR" reply="3" id="2198673"]just think about how many times you teleported and multiply that by 250. all that saved gold [/quote] Well let's say that the anklet gave you an extra 3 DG kills for another 4000 gold. So you could have bought 16 scrolls with the extra kills + the extra XP from the kills + the exp from the flag caps. And there is a good chance that it prevented your own death 3 times so thats 4K gold the otherside is out on.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="4" id="2194341"] They're already said many times they're going to take away the AIs from being matched with more experienced players, but they'll keep them for the newbies.[/quote] And they never said these will get removed when a player drops. We had a two players drop from each team in the last custom game I played. We figured we would play it out anyway. Unfortunately, our dropped player was Rook, who proceeded to

[quote who="LordCarlos" reply="6" id="2188781"]Didnt understand the math behind it well but remeber early game auto atack is much more dangerous than skills, also as sedna a low hp works better for my healing.[/quote] The opposite is true. As the game progresses, you can stack up lots of heal, etc. so that skills don't do that much to you anymore and the passive abilities (+damage, +swing speed) make autoattack more dangerous. Thinking back on my the early s

Dear God I hate this bug. It's cost me so many kills. And the wand. Ugh..

[quote who="arstal" reply="12" id="2185889"]While the half off coupon is a good gesture, how is that going to help? The people who would get it already own the game, so how does it benefit them? If they're not liking it, why would they ask their friends to pay $20 for it when they don't think it's worth that? If they do like it, they're satisfied and wouldn't need a perk/apology offer. [/quote] I'll be getting it for my brother. That'

Well, you need to be really anal about pings when you set up a game. If you see anyone climbing above 200, give them the boot. Otherwise you are looking at lag and disconnects. People will jump all over me for saying 200, but with 5v5, it's necessary. I hear you about friends getting bummed out about getting games going. I had the same experience in Left4Dead. I loved the game and tried to get friends to play it. The game kept putting us in ve

[quote who="Tidus1492" reply="2" id="2184569"] I would trade the transparency for having online play that isn't a chore to get 3v3/4v4/5v5 games setup with friends. Look at Blizzard, nobody knows who works behind the scenes or what it is they really do, but nobody cares because the games work amazingly well and are really well done. [/quote] You mean Blizzard works now after several years of tuning. Blizzard's service was crap when it first came out. And the bugs, de

[quote quoting="post"] A long time ago, there was a game called Quake. During this point in time, a lot of people still had these things called "Dialup Modems" and seeing pings range between 180-250 was the norm for a smooth game. [/quote] Well the thing about server based games is that you can pick a server that is locally very close to you. If you do that, you won't lag even though others in the game will. Demigod is a different beast because it is P2P

[quote quoting="post"] Playing Sedna kinda has a drawback...you will basicall get no award whatsoever..there is no way you'll get damage..there is no way you'll get upgrades, because you can't kill creeps fast enough...I'm not trying to bash her, because she's quite good..but there needs to be a support award for healing/buffing teammates. [/quote] Hmm. I haven't had a problem getting gold with Sedna. In fact, in the early game, I find it e

The demo needs to be multiplayer and capable of playing with the larger community. Why? Because these games die if there are not enough people playing and by allow the demo people to play with retail people, you make the community that much larger. Segregating the community is a bad idea. Further, this game got a very bad rap for connectivity. Letting the demo people get into games with the retail people demonstrates that that is all behind us.
