[quote who="Blitz64" reply="6" id="2269627"]I sometimes look up the host's name on the website http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/. then look at his gamelist, if he's playing with the same people, then it's premade and then I just quit. [/quote]Trouble is demigod often crashes when you alt tab. Then sometimes you can't log back in for about 20 mins. Which is a pain. The short term answer is only host your custom games, never join an existing one.

[quote who="Poul" reply="9" id="2279326"] Quoting Ciber, reply 8 I think pretty much 80% of custom games lately have been premade teams vs randoms with predictable and unfun results. Check this topic: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/356938 Hello! Last weeks i see like 75% premade custom games. People are obviously making some race for highest w

Ok if you want to play with your firends[quote who="RocketWidget" reply="8" id="2274614"]Okay... I have a few thoughts on this myself. I play games with two friends, we play 3 on 3s together in Custom... I guess that makes us a "premade", and whenever anyone figures out that we are a "premade", they instantly leave. We are CASUAL gamers, and we often lose our games, but people seem to think that "premade" means we are gonna smear them across the floor. So we don't tell anyon

[quote who="germ0nik" reply="25" id="2273763"]As stated above in various different fashions, the problem with premades is that voice chat and coordination from playing together in the past will give you a very good chance of smashing any random put together team, and in particular, any new players. This is extremely demoralising for anyone, and will make the game bland fast. Here is what I worry about happening. New player

[quote who="Munashiimaru" reply="23" id="2265679"]There's also a bug with auto attacking snared enemies. Ranged demigods will run to point blank on a demigod that's moving slower than them. I've lost a few games as regulus solely because he ran right up too a rook that could autoattack for 500 damage. [/quote] Agree. This is possibly the worst of these bugs, as it can mean certain death instad of a sure kill for a Regulus.

[quote who="Macabre-13" reply="2" id="2279030"]I believe it's been mentioned before, but I would love to see a "Randomize Teams" option for custom games. I think it's the perfect solution for those who are wary of premade teams in custom games, plus it would add a new and fun level of challenge not knowing who you'll be partnered up with until the match starts. [/quote] Agree. I really want this feature. I have pretty much given up on playing custom games. I think pret

Agree. I would really like this fixed.

[quote who="DoKTa_T" reply="1" id="2273444"]How's about Random Teams for custom games? It would be a nice option to have so people don't have to be worried about getting ambushed by premades if they don't want. [/quote]This gets my vote. It seems to me that lately custom games are about 80% premade teams looking for some randoms to stomp on. Which is basically no fun if you're not in the team of friends/clanmates.

Can I just confirm, are the routers reported as 'working' not ones that sometimes have to use proxy servers or NAT? I would tend to call that 'working but with issues'. Such as my Thompson Speedtouch 585v6 http://www.thomsontelecom.com.au/Main%20Page%20-%20Home/DSL%20Modems%20and%20Gateways/ST585v6.pdf which I would say works but has issues.

Can I point out that many people hated steam in the beginning and some still do hate it with a passion. Also games for windows live is pretty bad at matchmaking in my experience (DOW2) and my experinence of battle.net and gpg.net were also pretty bad. Gamespy is also a pretty crappy server browser and matchmaker and pretty universally disliked in the gaming community. Demigod is not the first game to come out with flaky netcode/matchmaking and it is far from the worst I've seen in that r

Could it be they just alt tabbed out and started doing something else while waiting for the game to end instead of just 'ragequitting'. Unfortunately alt-tabbing out of demigod will lag the game quite badly if anyone does it during a game.

If it's obvious why do I keep playing in games where players have negative sim speed?

I'm not sure but I think the problems I have sometimes with connection that must be down to my modem/router. Sometimes I direct connect perfectly, sometimes I get (NAT) sometimes (proxy). Also I get occasional disconnects during games which must be my router as my ISP, Be Unlimited, deny that there was an interruption in service at any time. But I can't be sure without trying a different modem/router. It is a Thompson Speedtouch 585 rebadged as a BeBox by my ISP.

Play a singleplayer match and after that you should be able to log in again!

Very good point, when some people are blaming lag on (NAT) and (proxy) it is normally with a sim speed that goes below 2 that causes lag.

I like the idea, really good. :)

1.01 is now available on impulse, I just updated mine :)

[quote who="LupusUmbrus" reply="1" id="2221732"] Quoting Skullonius, reply 24 * Id like an option to have spells only target demigods. I cant count how many times ive accidentally healed or shielded a grunt or minion in the middle of a hectic battle, so frustrating, and something i would rarely if ever try to do intentionally. Regarding this, I believe there's a key that does this when held (Ctrl maybe?), but it would be awefully nice if they

I tend to think the reg's bug skill needs to be given a time limit or limited so that only the player that placed the bug can see the player they put the bug on and not the whole team. That would cut down on team sniping without nerfng the single reg in a mixed team. Also, I think the snipe should abort if your target moves out of your visible range after starting. Too many times I've been killed by a reg that I know can't see me any more.

Are there many proxies in europe? Sometime other players in europe have 300 ping when on proxy which would indicate that they might be using a proxy on another continent. It works great even with high pings so it's just curiousity.

Whats your upload speed?

Wow, more patches tested and released in one day! All the people working on this: thanks for your hard work and enjoy your days off. I'll be off now to check out the latest version and have some fun. :)

Custom games are working though. Better than before.
