Well if people suck they suck, that is pretty straight forward. But people do not suck because they have an alternative build. Think outside the box. If you would only allow teammates to play a certain build then they could have just removed all demigods except one with a perfect build. But how much fun would that be? Remember, a big part of the competition and fun in the games comes from different people playing it in a different manner. You never know what to expect. It wouldn't be

Why is 'the impulse guy' working on a small table with 3 laptops? I assume it's a space issue, caused by putting more people in the office to get it fixed quick? Coding behind a laptop is very poor if you ask me, I get tired way sooner.

Now ofcourse it might not be a forum bug but something on my end, but a hard refresh and cache clear (well does the same thing basically) does not help. I do see an icon for topics that have a new reply. Might have been a post about this earlier, I don't know <

[quote who="_Shadow" reply="19" id="2244875"] Most people have no problem saying gg and admitting defeat, they just want to get back into a situation where they can play again, not become fodder for another player's sadistic amusement.[/quote] It's true, but then you kind of have a big problem. People don't want to lose and get beaten on, but they sure do like to beat other players, and use them for sadistic amusement. Problem in these games is that for every winner there is a lo

[quote who="ZeratulTheDT2" reply="17" id="2244806"] Wow someone is intolerant of alternative builds. If by "alternative builds" you mean "choosing all the broken lame ass abilities of your class and trying to win with them", then yes. [/quote] See, this is why I play almost only single player. No one in my games is absolutely and solely obsessed by winning. So anyone can play any build he likes, just so he can have some fun! (I know, it's unreal, someon

Wow, nice quick replay :) (edit: lol, whut?! replay? REPLY, god I need some coffee) I'm not sure when the icon thing started, but it certainly has always been like this since I first noticed the problem. Then again I read many forums and usually see very little of the page before I click to the next so I can't really say anything for sure.

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="16" id="2244467"]I'll look into the issue with IE8/Win7 soon. I'll also see about using Alt+S or Ctrl+S to post as it's been requested often.[/quote] Cool, thank you! I'm using RC 7100 of Windows 7, MSIE8 build number of that is the same, also 7100. It's a garantueed clean version

Yes, I am on W7. Also I found 2 bugs, but I have to go to work now so I will post later tonight (EU time). Also, I'd still LOVE to use alt+s to send the post. Dunno if I can fix it but currently MSIE8 gives me the Safety menu when I do that. Dunno if MSIE8 should be 'fixed' or the forum should be 'fixed'. [edit] quick edit. other internet pages can use alt+s to post, so should be able here. I hope you'll be nice enough to add this quick fe

I think Frogboy and a lot of others have had a lot of hours of work and patience gets thin in those times. Everyone that has ever had a deadline will probably recognize it. It's a shame if there will be no more journals for a couple of weeks, but I'd fully understand. Take a little rest, you do this job to have fun with it, not to stress you out. I'd say Frogboy, just do your work but remember to have some fun in between, start up a game with some colleagues and see that

[quote who="sViz" reply="1" id="2243262"]On the Recent Post page, when I try to click on the Go to Last Read Reply arrow, the icon shifts back and forth, making it difficult to click on. Anyone else noticed this? [/quote] Yes! I usually end up click on the last page - 1. So I try to click on 'last page' and I end up clicking on '6', because of this weird shifty thing. When I hover over the last page the 'link mouse cursor' doesn't show up, and when I move it

In that case: good job! *thumbs up* [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Sarebroman" reply="2" id="2241891"]If the 2 games were similiar and one isn;t based on the other I would agree with you. Second of all DOTA was a free mod and built by 1 guy in his free time. THis game costs 40+ bucks. Dota's bugs are much more acceptable becuase it was made using an old architecture. There realy is no DOTA vs. DG becuase hands down one is still pushing copies out and has paid tournaments and a serious infrastructure. YOu can't r

[quote who="Mumblefratz" reply="23" id="2241285"]The topic is pretty well beaten to death at this point. Some people favor it and some don’t, it’s no big deal in either case. Everyone is welcomed to their opinion. [b]It's only when certain folks feel the need to denigrate others simply because their opinion is different that the above stuff happens.[/b] Any reasonable person can make their own judgment as to who first instigated the personal attacks.

I don't want any DG vs DOTA discussion here, but can we please stop the DOTA comparisons here? DOTA had a LOT of bugs. They are fixed now because DOTA is what.. like 4 years old? Comparing a new game to an old mod is not constructive. Not that the argument about DG's bugs themselves aren't valid, they are.

Oh btw..:

Forum seems to be working well enough to leave the update as is, and continue fixing bugs from now on. Sounds paradoxal, but I mean no software rollback is necessary as far as I am concerned.

Thanks, I'll read it when I feel like it later. Being a software engineer (or should be, sort of) I have touched the edges of artificial intelligence programming. Thank god we only touched the subject, because it gets real complicated real fast. I wonder how much a neural network could help with this. If AI could learn of what human players do and if they could learn of their own deaths then it could turn into a pretty hard to beat AI. Too bad it takes too much cpu for games (

[quote who="Mumblefratz" reply="9" id="2239820"]BTW speaking of forum issues, what's up with this thread? When viewed from at least the GalCiv2 site this thread is currently listed as having only 3 replies. When you click on the thread it's obvious that there's more than three replies but only the first page is shown and there is no link to see the second page. In order to see the second page I had to manually append /page/2 to the threads url. This is the fir

Another (long, long, long) game played, with 5vs5 on normal difficulty. I think it was on Prison (the dark 5vs5 map). Rook kamikazed a couple of times in the beginning, being a bit overconfident. Might be the class vs class thing, rook is very slow eary on and can be quite vulnerable. But he chased enemy DGs into their towers, which you don't surive <lvl10. Enemy AI seemed quite keen on teaming up on me, which is good. Too bad my own AI teamplayers didn't do the same
