I play way more the first week, maybe 10 games, it decreses steadily after that.  This week I may play a round or two.

Yes we need matchmaking.  Everytime I go online 100 people are in the chat room, but no one responds.

This is still a technical beta, once most everything has been found, there's no point to keep playing.

 

I'd have liked to get a few more games in on the new map, but the slowdowns prevent this, so meh, I'll wait for next build.

 

Now when they get in to balance testing with net connections, then you'll see a lot of gaming.

I travel during the week so only play with it on weekends.  I may play once or twice max each weekend after reading the latest comments/observatons others make to see if I agree with their statements.  The slow downs on the new map keep me from playing as much though so I am not compelled to play much until the next build.

No point ?!? For a not-supposed-to-be-fun (according to :frogboy: ) "technical beta", I still am having fun on the 3 v 3 map -- especially when trying out the Beast.

But I can understand that those of you who are MP competitors & power-gamers must find the challenge too limited -- especially when some A.I. demigods decide to go AFK, loitering in the back, at the health crystal.

I only played once on the new 2 v 2 map, and that weird slowdown did abruptly occur, when I was level 16, with no apparent reason. I had never experienced any slowdown on the other map, where there are more demigods & units in action.

I would love to play more, but having played twice recently with the latest beta 1A, the slowdowns mid-lategame becomes too much :(.

I only played twice on beta 1 but it ran beautifully with no slowdowns at all.

Thanks for the feedback (but you did not specify if those Beta 1A slowdowns happened to you on both maps). The SD & GPG devs should be made aware of that issue, with insistence.

Well, it´s unplayable for me :)

Played some games with the Beta1A build, but I´ve slowdowns on both maps and my fps are terrible with the new build :)

So I´ll just wait :)

Keep in mind what a StarDock Archont has stated on a few threads, during the past 1½ month :

The Beta is not meant to be "fun". Each of its phases targets specific technical testing objectives. Many gameplay features are withheld, and some technical issues are created on purpose to test arcane parameters that only SD & GPG software engineers can figure out.

I don't think the reported slowdowns are surprising them ... but it's better to report them anyway. :cylon:

I have only played 1a a few times after the first week. It got boring in a hurry and the gameplay is lack luster ( thats why its froggy said it was a not so fun beta, because he was telling the truth)
