Demigod - A Game for Loners

from Demigod Forums

Stardock seriously has to get rid of that stupid player stats button. Hosting a game is just impossible if you have a friend you play with. It seems 80% of the community is obssessed with the stats. They see two people that know each other and freak out and leave. Ive had 3v3's where atleast 15-20 people join check stats and leave. I understand that people think they'll loose but player stats has made loosing unacceptable for stat whores.  As a group of mates who like to play games together were just gonna have to find a new game, which is pretty lame.  Ive never had this issue with other games, CoH, Sup Com, C&C no issues. Justget rid of it, ignorance is bliss.

Or how about you just play against the other premades? Unless of course you're just in it for stomping noobs, not a real challenge.

We have tried !!  If you host a game with premade you get even less people join.  And were pretty rubbish tbh, we normally only play between ourselves but if we have 3 or less people online we try for a team. None of us have over 35 games :S  anyone could see were fairly average at best and yet they see 65% familiarity and boom quit out ...

Is it not true thou?  What other game has a player familiarity percentage? I expect there is some but none i have ever played.

Get rid of the individual stat yes, but the familiarity stat no. Most premades I have found in game are only in it for the noob stomping. I have every excuse from premades actually denying playing with each other to them trying to call themselves a noob premade when they have a almost a 100% familiarity. To me depending how I feeling really decide if I want to play against a premade or not.  If I am just ready to get a game going then sure what ever, but if I want a more even game; then it is either they split up or get out.

I don't have anything against premades if they're willing to fight each other.

Playing against other premades often doesn't work though :P

This one happened to me the other day...I hosted with a few people I play with quite often.

Another premade comes into the room and their stats were a bit lower than ours.   

Pings are all less than 200.  

One of them asks, "where are you from?"

I reply, "UK".

Then they both leave without saying anything else XD.
