Do you guys both have the beta patch that came out Friday? I heard there is a crash bug that happens for certain people and will be fixed around Monday. Hang in there should be fixed soon.
This is the most amazing demigod site I have seen yet: http://www.demigoddb.com/ Nice tool to plan how you want to build your demigod with what items and skills. Very cool!
Yeah I remember one day in IRC I think Yarlen posted it and I was like o cool this needs a bookmark [e digicons]:D[/e] .
[quote who="PurplePaladin" reply="14" id="2180836"]Ya, played a game today with Sedna; 4v4, seriously, it missed more than it healed. It's so frustrating that you have the mana, your in range, your allie needs a heal asap or death, and click. . . nothing; click again. . . nothing. You can right click somewhere really fast, and then hit the heal spell and click again, and it MIGHT work, or not. Seeing an alli die, you just KNOW they are saying "why the HECK did he
Well thats different...
This happens with every demigod and is pretty well known bug. Its been around since earliest beta I can even remember. Lets all hope they can squash this sucker once and for all!
Yeah custom games 3v3 work fine and dandy. You can even get them going really fast compared to when the game launched. My biggest beef is in the skirmish where it pairs 2v1. It seems to never want to do more than 2v2 ever which is annoying especially if it picks the larger maps. This game is a blast to play and when we see the day where 4v4 and 5v5 are the normal and being able to set one up in a few minutes this game is going to shine big time. Lets just

I would gladly wait a few minutes to get into a game I am sure to enjoy if it meets my criteria vs hoping that it randomly gets what I want.
They should have options like preferable game size (3v3), how long to wait, include/exclude AI, map pref, etc. Right now its too automatic making it so no matter what your not going to satisfy everyone. By making options your narrowing that gap of what people will expect.
I would really love to see items like that since even though your spells do not take armor into consideration (a fireball will aways do the same damage reguardless of armor) it still would be nice to enhance spells as an alternative to base damage. Late game dps most spells just don't scale well. Spell reduction items would be awesome too. More stategic options are always a good thing.
It would be nice to have AI options so can tell it to stay together, protect the base, or go off and do its own thing. Also maybe have an option before the game starts (custom game) to pick the AI difficulty if a person leaves the game and has to have the AI take over for them.
Well said. Amen.

Thanks for the wasted time and money. What are you? Fanboy of the year? [/quote] What are you? Disgruntled customer of the year?
Yeah its annoying. I agree.
Damned if they do damned if they dont. Watch, next they remove bots and everyone bitches that it takes too long to get a pantheon/skirmish game going. Poor stardock... I feel like they cant win. Yeah it sucks that there are mostly bots in the matchs but did anyone think its because it cant match people up hence the network issues lately and then it decides to start the game for fear of taking too long? No didnt think so.
That was the biggest thing I hated about dota was people that would freak out and start ranting about either the player sucking or just dumb stuff like host you suck. My favorite is when you create a noob game and those same people tell you you suck and your like "omg its a noob game, cant you read?" I dont think the demigod community will ever get that bad. I have been playing dota for nearly 5 years and pretty much stopped playing online with people I do not know (
It is optional so I dont think it will ruin the game. Sure it sucks when you first start but it gives something for people to shoot for if they like that sort of thing. Boots of speed give 10% increase and they are pretty cheap.
Ah now that you mention it the game has cheats built in but you should be able to check the game options from the lobby to see if the host has them turned on or off. Found this link here mentioning it: https://forums.stardock.com/347830 If they are using some outside cheating not sure how that works and if so that kinds does suck because I wouldnt want to play online if alot of people do that.
Custom games add to your overall rank right now but they are changing that in the future so it does not.
@Lucifon - Have you tried going to Edit->Options in game ranger and then scrolling down to demigod and check the path? I think it autodetects which games you have installed and bolds them. Is it bold in the list for you? If not you should still be able to browse to the demigod.exe so it boots up.
Yeah I hope this gets pretty high priority to fix since its been around in beta forever.
[quote who="Deepjay" reply="5" id="2157271"]The amount of utter bullshit that's involved to get this fucking game working is getting seriously beyond a joke. It's 11pm now and I have managed to get exactly one quarter of a game tonight since I started looking for a game around 8pm. From non-stop yellow ping shit to the game room never filling up due to even more yellow ping shit to this that and everything else, it's just a disgrace. They better get this proxy solution up asap as despite how
