Musings about the world around me, the world I create in my mind, and the world I am escaping to in a game.

Just wanted to know how many people are on, how balanced the gameplay is at the moment, how the matches are flowing, so on and so forth. I will be buying the game Friday no matter what and I can't waitttt to get into the pantheon.

I just want a little heads up from the community if things are doing better now. I have faith in Stardock and GPG, so I am not worried, I just want an idea of what to expect once I get the game. I realize there's been some problems lately with the game, but it doesn't faze me. This game looks amazing despite it's problems, and I think that once the dust settles and word of mouth gets around that the game is fixed, it will become quite the competitive multiplayer game.

Thanks for your time guys, lemme know what's up!

peace

great fun, I play 10+ games a night with 2 friends of mine.

 

no problems at all really. Sometimes the servers will time out, wait 3 minutes and your good.

 

Everyone who says how "HORRIBLE OMG WTF!!!! IMMA BREAK SOMETHING!!11"

  • 88% pirated the game
  • 8% have no paintence try it have a problem and never visit the tech forum and freak out
  • 4% actually have a legit problem

 

Get it, you will enjoy it highly.

Terrible mixed with awful, unfortunately.

Main problems with it still atm that I've come accross, are getting too many bots in MP with an uneven number of humans on teams (played 5 skirmish games all but 1 were 2 +2AI Vs 1 +3AI)

and long wait to connect in pantheon/custom games, causing people to cancell before the last 1-2 people connect to everyone, reminding me of playing WoW trying to get a pug group fast enough that no one leaves, hehe.

Dont worry....yesterday, there was over 200 games at once going on....thats plenty...each game had 2 to 10 peoples. Both Demigod IRC channels are having 100+ people in it...its everything but not dead and never will be...the game is just to much fun

 

200 games going on at once?  May be possible, but definately not in the lobby.  I have never seen more than maybe 20 open games to join in the lobby.  Maybe about 5-10 in Gameranger to join.

  • Those are terribly wrong things to say.  Should probably look at what you type before you type it.

    As far as who's complaining about the game i feel those are spot on.

     

    That doesn't include those who have bought the game.

    Sorry, but those 12% of the last two mostly completely remain on the multiplayer problems involving Stardock.  I also highly doubt the game was 88% pirated.

    And 90% of stats are made up.   Multiplayer game right now is a mess.  But there is hope in the proxy servers coming this week.  What's funny about your quote, though, is that the pirated game users currently are having far better MP experiences because Gameranger, etc. actually work.  It's the legit users suffering.

    i'd wait awhile if i were you, i  bought the game and didnt get the chance to join 1 MP game yet... it's BS, ... i've just downloaded the pirate version and am playing it on hamachi servers... i cant belive pirates are having more fun than prople who actually bought the damn game. Game itself is quite fun but things like this take away the joy of buying it.

    on Apr 20, 2009

    It's lucky the game is so enjoyable to play or with the issues it has had with connectivity it would have had no customers by now.

    The rampant fanboyism on these boards right now is simply astounding. There is no possible way that Demigod's multiplayer could even be remotely conceived as anything other than awful. It is almost as if there is a select vocal minority on these boards trying to convince themselves that they are, in fact, having a decent multiplayer experience with this game.

    Wake up fools.

    on Apr 20, 2009

    Well maybe we are woken up and ARE enjoying the game!

     

    So stop flamming!

    Get your network up THEN start talking! I've had no problems playing the game (single or multi) and have enjoyed the Demigod experience ever since I bought it)!

    Ranks No.2 favourite game after Sins of a solar empire!

    Game is really nice. Few bugs but enjoyable. I see no reason to complain the game is 1 week old.

    Can't wait till they fix the way favor saves tho, really annoying to be playing and not making real progress.

    The amount of utter bullshit that's involved to get this fucking game working is getting seriously beyond a joke. It's 11pm now and I have managed to get exactly one quarter of a game tonight since I started looking for a game around 8pm. From non-stop yellow ping shit to the game room never filling up due to even more yellow ping shit to this that and everything else, it's just a disgrace. They better get this proxy solution up asap as despite how much i love playing the game, i spend 90% of my night trying to play, 10% actually playing. And yes everything is forwarded correctly, my end works as intended.
