Hey look, ZenDoh is here again, in another thread, douching it up as usual.

I made a post about the online numbers awhile ago. Actually, your 50 players worldwide at one time isn't too far off of the real number. The total number of players either waiting in a lobby or playing in a game is now between 100-200 players. It's not much.... http://forums.demigodthegame.com/368048

Sadly team support with a ladder/tournaments is something that could spur increased popularity in the game and bring a lot of players back. Unfortunately, Stardock can't recognize this and is taking way too long, possibly too little too late.

[quote who="playgroundlegend" reply="9" id="2441057"]Zehdon, I thought after the tiff we had a while back that we agreed to ignore each other on the forums. Everytime I post, anything, anywhere, you're there with a put down. STOP TALKING TO ME YOU CREEPY INTERNET STALKER. I don't acknowledge you until you say something negative. Just don't say anything at all, believe it or not, the forums ARE big enough for the both of us. And to explain the play on wo

Team/clan support was supposed to be implemented like 3 times now over the past 6 months, but apparently they're a little too busy to take on a simple coding job?

I fully understand how p2p networking works, and how other client/server games work.

Lol you're such a douche man. My group all had stable connections.

I'm sorry but I've had games lag with my old premade who all had stable connections. It's not solid... lol. It was screwed up when the game came out and they've been patching it up since... have they gotten it to where it should be yet? They haven't...

I really don't think there are this many people with unstable connections trying to run this game. For the amount of online games I play with lag, you're saying that a large percentage of online demigod players either have torrents running in the background, unstable connections, etc... I'm just not buying it that there are this many players with horrible connections/connection problems/running 7 torrents in the background/etc.... And to be honest, I've noticed that game ping/co

Online play. We’ve requested changes to make MP smoother on “laggy” connections. That said, the best thing you guys can do is make sure “stuff” isn’t being downloaded in the background. Every time we investigate specific cases it turns out someone has Windows update downloading stuff on another machine in their house, has bit torrent going on or is streaming something via their Xbox or Play Station. Basically, Ping tells you response

The only connection issue right now is game state error, which isn't a connection issue but an exploit.[/quote] No it's not. 50% of my games lately have consisted of someone's game randomly crashing or the critical error bug. It really isn't stable yet.

Compared to HoN's multiplayer it does feels like Demigod was made some years ago. However, Demigod has something HoN doesn't; it's fun.[/quote] Demigods friends list overlay and connection features make it feel like it was the first go at a multiplayer game in 1999.

People migrated to custom games because pantheon is broken. I think pantheon is what was supposed to be the DG ladder if im not mi

I think these posts are actually needed if change is going to happen. To be honest, Demigod is an amazing game, one of the best I have played in awhile, just delivered poorly with poor programming and a long long list of other bugs that kill it. If they could fix these bugs, some of them very simple, and then once all the bugs are fixed, release their 2 new demigods and say like 4-6 new maps, add some team support, auto balance feature, etc... this game would be amazing.

Please remove your head from your ass because your muffled nonsense is becoming annoying. Looking at

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that something is bugged with the players online count according to your description as well. Then why did you ask and waste people's time if you had already decided you wouldn't accept the answer? [/quote] I just didn't buy your answer, I would've bought a more reasonable soundi

[quote who="gkrit" reply="23" id="2432582"]to me 1000+ memenbers isnt that high at all for online. yeh ppl may be playing single player in this game but theres only so much you can do in single player, thats y i turned to multiplayer. rlly, is 1000+ members online something to be proud of? im not trying to be offensive here but i no if i made a game and its main purpose was online play and only 1000+ players are on at any one time, id think of it as a bit of a disappointment.[/quot

And no offense, given your track record on buggy stats, connections, etc... I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that something is bugged with the players online count according to your description as well.

Right now, there are 93 people either in a lobby, or in a game in progress. The players online count says 1473. There's no way, the numbers and your explanation just don't make sense.

There is absolutely no way, for example, that there are 2300 people lurking in demigod not being in a lobby or in a match, and there are only 200 playing at this given time. No way... I'm not buying it.

To be honest at this point, remove pantheon all together. It's been a failed idea since launch, hasn't gotten any better, and almost all the games are vs. AI. You're playing vs. bots in a "tournament"... gimme a break. The community is so damn shrunken already that everyone who plays just needs to be in custom games tbh. And then, add an in lobby auto balance feature which should take about 5 minutes of coding time, and you should be good.
