Yeah I really don't understand why the pantheon requires a wait between finishes. What's the point? Seriously, how does this benefit anyone, player or company? Why can't they just start instantly and, on the off-chance that someone would prefer to know how the last one ended rather than actually play in the tourney themselves, the player is free to go check the stats on the site.
Good work figuring this stuff out. I'm really impressed with this company since this is the kind of dev-player correspondance I'd expect from a subscription MMO.
WickedBear, it's just a simple fact of the matter that playing with your friend will make you likelier to succeed than playing with a fully random team. It won't mean you'll always win, but having a friend who knows what you do well and what you do poorly and (due to experience (if they're not just a godawful gamer)) how to back you up most effectively will put you leagues ahead of a genuine pick up group. Of course it's still totally necessary to communicate and strategise with the o
[quote who="Hack78" reply="4" id="2258418"] I fail to see how a ping would be a bad thing... since its nothing mroe then a small amount of data sent to a target to see if anything is there or not... That is PING as in the test program... As opposed to a user's ping - which is their response to data time - the higher it is, the longer you have to wait for an answer to your question...[/quote] Yeah this.

Doing my daily rounds of the Pantheon I came across two distinctly different matches. In the first, a small map with a fortification destruction gametype, my ally continuously attempted to engage enemy demigods, refusing to help destroy any enemy forts or protect our own all the while persisting in the claim that destroying enemy forts wouldn't help us win a fort game. After roughly twenty minutes the fight was clearly going nowhere as I alone couldn't take down the forts and therefor
I updated it through the Impulse client (at least, as far as I can tell!) and when I go into the game and use shift+tab to bring up the impulse client the update option is greyed out, I presume this means it's updated?
[quote who="vindKtiv" reply="13" id="2180465"]Ehh... there were definitely more people around before and I have seen more Custom Games before. Really sad, this was a really good game.[/quote] Well I still really enjoy it and (since I purchased it yesterday) I've been trying to get in a PvP game at least once daily. Remember guys: if we don't stick around to help Player versus Player comabt Demigod is doomed to obscurity and cult following!
Well I've only been playing since Sunday so don't take me too seriously. So far I find the good guys woefully underpowered compared to the darkside. Sedna is a very pleasant addition to the goody two-shoes, but Erebus, Unclean Beast AND QoT all being Dark is a little too much to bear. I am primarily a dark player and QoT and Erebus are my favorite characters. I find bite sickeningly overpowered. It needs at least a 25% reduction to its heal. But if you just reduce th

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="2180366"]Where you located?[/quote] In the UK. I know the game has not been officially released here but I was so damn impressed with the version I acquired that I bought the Direct Download version off Impulse the second I found it. Seriously, great job on the game: I flipping love it!
[quote who="liq3" reply="1" id="2180350"]Heh, wait till peak hour (around midnight GMT I think). Usually there's 20+ games in the custom games bit easy. [/quote] Thank you for the reply. It's a shame (though likely inevitable) that peak times are largely inacessible to those of my geographical location. Thanks again for the reply; plus one karma pour vouz!
Hey guys! I recently purchased Demigod and hit up multiplayer but there's no-one online! I found six matches, most of which were in a foreign language. Is this normal? Do I need to patch the game or something? I'd heard that pirates were running rampant all over multiplayer and that, because of this, there were loads of people to play with. Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I bought this game specifically to legitimise playing it online.
[quote who="Renevent" reply="9" id="2180268"] Actually I just have shown you are in fact in great enough number DETRIMENTAL to the industry, and without people like me this whole thing isn't even possible. You are just on what's basically welfare. The fact the morals you live by cannot possibly uphold a healthly market shows that it is in fact negative, and not a viable moral philosphy to live by. You are able to squeek by because of ME. That's right...I support y

[quote who="Charvel1" reply="5" id="2180236"] That was your claim. You even put an 'End of Story' at the end of it. The fact is, you don't pirate games because you're a student with almost no money (some people might but not you). You pirate games because you are trying to be prudent with your money and you want to make sure that you are getting a quality game for the money you spend. Your 'pirate because of no money' argument is baseless because you obviously have SOME money to put down
[quote who="Renevent" reply="4" id="2180228"] Actually, you are the one without any real justifications on why what you do is not wrong. Stealing is wrong because if everyone stole games, the commercial game market would crumble. If everyone just stole everything our entire economy would crumble and our society would fall apart. These games are created on the principal that if a person(s) invest their time and money they will receive compensation for their effort.&
[quote who="Renevent" reply="10" id="2180179"]Sorry if I don't empathize with poor people that steal games.

[quote who="Charvel1" reply="22" id="2180175"] I read your whole post. Point is, you can't hide behind the 'poor student' argument and then use the majority of your post to defend the 'try before you buy' argument. Makes for bad reasoning because you can obviously afford to buy at some point. Just trying to help you form your arguments better is all. I understand you're poor. Unfortunately, being poor doesn't justify piracy of software. The 'try before you buy' has a little mo
[quote who="Renevent" reply="21" id="2180172"]You must have failed that course.[/quote] Clearly you know nothing about ethics. You believe you are correct in your presumption that "stealing is stealing: it is always wrong". Philosophers call this Deontological ethics. It is widely renowned as simply backwards and inflexible, unable to deal differing scenarios from an enlightened view. Without the God theory to back it up it just folds. Kant made a good stab a trying to create a system

I agree with the OP! I too pirated the game and I really enjoyed it. This was a massive shock to me because I've been deploring it to just about every gamer I know since its conception (I hated the way it looked over videos; it looked tedious and pointless). But I pirated it (just to confirm my suspicions) and really loved it! It's like UT with swords! As of last night I got hold of a legitimate Digital Download and voila! I'm part of the community. Been fun so far!
[quote who="Charvel1" reply="18" id="2180116"] You seem to be under the illusion that pirates buy a game to make their original act of piracy "OK". This is just wrong. I pirate games because I'm a student with almost no money. If I pirate a game and it successfully holds my attention for more than two days I'll buy it. End of story. Come on! Tell the truth. You pirate games because you want to try them before you buy them. Don't give us a line about being a poor student with almost
