Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.
It's been how long since Demigod was released? 1. Pantheon game, 2v1 (not even an AI for the guy on the other team) 2. pantheon game with an instant drop, with a 5 or so minute load time because of the drop 3. Pantheon perma-searching because the game begins to connect, but people quit 4. Update! The matching service still failing regularly Just a fricking joke...
Did coupons ever get extended past that pitiful week? My intended recipient finally returned from Europe and I passed it on to him. Figured it would be worth a try - but I trolled the forums looking for some kind of news, and didn't find anything.
Why the hell are you people even here begging for them? Are you pirates? You couldn't support the game when it first came out, but you can support it for $20?
The wards can be killed, however they are currently only targetable by minions.
The game is inexpensive enough (incl. the coupon) that it's worth the purchase just with the promise of better connectivity in the future (figure a month minimum, realistically). Although that's coming from someone who managed to have exciting and vicious multiplayer games...via LAN (only).
KenoLFD - I REALLY like that Stardock communicates with us AND does stuff like issuing coupons as an apology - those are the types of things that larger companies need to be doing. I laud Stardock for being on the ball, on the forefront in that department. However, those things are always going to be the important followup actions to a healthy release - and have to go along with healthy, solid, updates. However, the company released a game focused on multiplayer with broke
I play Demigod with a LAN group and checked to see what they were saying after posting this, here are some of the comments: "Way to nerf something awesome." "If they gave us this May 1st, I could see May 29th, but 1 week? Seriously?"
We have one week to redeem our coupons? (May 22nd to May 29th) How many weeks has your title been royally boned? It's really courageous of you to offer the discount, an extremely generous way to reward people for their early faith. However, giving them a whole seven days to day redeem it is just disappointing. Give them a month, or a year. At least then if it expires and someone moans you can say "Hey, you had a pretty solid amount of time in whi
I noticed that each Pantheon "round" had a specific name. I'd like to suggest "Pantheon: A Player Has Left the Game" for the next season! Perhaps the one after thatc ould be "Pantheon: The Matchmaking Service has Failed!". Last in the esteemed trilogy of epic battles (fails?) could be "Pantheon: Fatal-Error While You Were Alt-Tabbed - Abort Program or Break to Debugger?".
Yeah, and IMO controlling flags is a dumb as rocks way to have your war score increase. It takes a lot away from the player vs. player aspect and puts it more into the "run over here" aspect.
I'm pretty sure a lawsuit would be the dirty and long way to resolve it. They've failed, almost entirely, to deliver promised multiplayer. Fixing it is a must, yes, but at this point they've had thousands of people purchase a defective product. I don't even try to play multiplayer over the internet (LAN, 3v3 at work!). 75% off a second copy of the game would be worth it (as someone else suggested). Only after they actually fix th
It seems that War Rank accumulation is done by holding flags, which...seems dumb. Why isn't the majority of War Rank accumulation done by killing Demigods and minions? The outcome of the game would be directly tied to your skill in killing other Demigods, avoiding your own death, and killing minions. 1. A base amount per second would accrue 2. An amount would accrue for each minion killed, with each minion type giving varying amounts. 3.
