Ok. Although I participated in the beta and gave feedback. And I suffered through the early week(s) of release. And I gave the developers a week or two (after that) to get things better, I have to admit I'm giving up. How do I get a refund for these two (for my son and I) copies I purchased, please?
I waited about 35 minutes then gave up. I'm so tired of this. I haven't commented in quite a while because I kept expecting things to get better and better, but I wish I hadn't spent my money on this game.

How does one lose favor points, please?
No!! I wanted to see video. 30 minutes would have been fine!
[quote quoting="post"] But what that will do is alter Demigod from a peer-to-peer game to a quasi-client-server game that maintains the peer-to-peer performance. If there are any IT people reading this, feel free to explain to lay people the significance of being able to do this in a couple of days without having to change the game client.

[quote who="Rav3nIX" reply="5" id="2157047"]So many of my Pantheon games are me alone with crappy bots against 2 or more humans. It's impossible to win when they keep killing the idiot bots for money.

I confess I felt the same way. I was a beta player and I purchased the game months ago. I looked forward to the stories that the single player game could offer. How did Rook become a moving building?! How did Regulus get his crossbow? What went so wrong for Torchbearer that he went so completely crazy? This game was ripe for a robust single player experience.
Heh. :) I've been in a few Pantheon matches tonight (yaaay!) and now I'm upset with people leaving and sticking me with AI "players". But, truth be told, I've also been stuck with some human "players" who love to talk trash, but have no idea how to win. Spent a full painful hour with a person who called me "newb" over and over while he gave up death after death. Then, about 5-8 minutes from the end of the match he declared "oh, we're supposed to capture the
Loving it! I get pretty fiesty on the boards from time to time (hey, I get frustrated!), but updates like this are driving home a deep and abiding respect for Stardock. NIIIICE! :D

You're a top-ranked player who knows exactly how to play Regulus. Max point snipes from across the map? Very, very frustrating.

I wouldn't trust any .exe from a site that isn't Stardock. sounds like a perfect way to infect your PC with a nasty virus...

[quote who="chokomon" reply="1" id="2153084"] Quoting woca, reply 6 And, no, I am not going to spend hours of my own time sending detailed bug reports to Stardock - I have no desire to be a beta tester, which is why, even though I pre-ordered, I didn't play the game until it was officially released. Because at that point, I have a right to expect it will work. It doesn't, and it's Stardock's job, not mine, to fix what should have been fixed before the release.[/quo
Yow. More game feedback (status) is needed then. But, it is good info! Thanks!
Be patient. Can't believe I'm saying this considering some of the things I've posted recently! But it is true. Sometimes you may have to wait several minutes or more (5 - 6 is not impossible) for a multiplayer match to happen. Stardock is working on this, so I believe, so it should improve soon. I hope! :)
Contrition. Look it up. If I sold you a lawn tractor that broke down... Couldn't mow your lawn. Couldn't tow a cart. Couldn't help you do what you wanted it to do when I told you it could, and would if you just gave me your money, wouldn't you be upset? Wouldn't you want to tell me that the $1800 you gave me for a product that I told you w
What perhaps many of us are trying to say, some articulately and some less so, is when we post errors or frustrations or bugs onto these boards, please take it in the spirit that most, if not all of us, mean it. Sometimes we're angry (having just spent 25 minutes this afternoon trying to get onto a Pantheon match I can feel that way!), sometimes we've made a breakthrough and think we can help others get over the same hump we've been stuck on. Sometimes we're wondering why the he
Listen, we're on these boards because we're passionate about this silly game. We spend far too much time on tihs. We get upset. Who can blame us? We have spent money. About $40 each on it, so it is not at all unreasonable to expect things to go right. I'm not letting you guys off the hook, Stardock or Gas Powered Games. So, a lot is wrong, but much is this close to being right. Get multiplayer working! It is the bac
