Test Bandwidth in the Lobby in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

A lot of the issues seem to have been resolved in terms of connectivity and i'm confident once the local proxies are implemented we should have that aspect sorted. However you will always have the players whose connection is not good enough and as a result cause the game to lag uncontrollably. You can spot them by watching the ping fluctuating diring the game. Can a bandwidth test (as opposed to a ping) occur in the lobby - almost like a sim speed test but would then give players an i

Players Not Showing in The lobby in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

Had this a couple of times last night, we would set up a lobby - I believe a player would get kicked, I think at the same time as another player was joinign. Can'tr remember the exact sequence but the net effect is they then wouldn't be visible to me. If you see the screenshot - wonderpug has chosen a Rook - but he isn't showing in the Lobby! Other players could see him fine. When this happened the game would desync on starting <a href="http://www.xfire.com/screenshots/

[quote who="HateForest" reply="3" id="2243665"]I find it amazing that people are distracted by this. I'm usually so engrossed in my actions that I miss a lot of tactical messages etc because the text is liek background fuzz. Maybe you should just focus on your game and not what some 15 said he did to your mother.[/quote] Yep generally I miss a lot of the text - it doesn't stay up for that long - however if it gets infantile then that does become difficult.

Reply to Ability to 'Mute' Players in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I've played a tad more than 3 matches :) Only really had an issue with 2 of those but as those were recent it didn't set a good time. However in most matches players don't seem to be able to keep their mouths shut on all but critical strategy talk. I'm a proponent of voip in this game - luckily I have a number of friends where we team up in this way, however that as well must have mute. Tals

Ability to Tag Players in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Certain players I have played with I really would never want to play with again - i'm sure the feeling is mutual :) Would it be possible to tag a player with a tag could be a smiley if they were an enjoyable player or a neg smiley if not etc. Then in the lobby these could be shown against the player names.

Ability to 'Mute' Players in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I hate smack talk - whether it is directed at me or at the opposition. This game does seem to draw out the worst in people in this respect - can we have the ability to squelch players. It will ruin the team ethos but at least it saves from rage quitting. I play to enjoy this game not have some 13 something swearing in game. Tals

Reply to Demigod: Staging updates – v1.01 talk in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

[quote who="Doddler" reply="25" id="2238363"]I'm going to guess that the 'free weekend' idea that steam has going for some of its games is a big sales driver, especially when it coincides with new content (like maps/items) and/or game sale, maybe something like that would be handy? I do see why its still 1.01... aside from connectivity fixes, the game hasn't really been updated at all since release. Erebus's bite fix is the only balance change that I can remember.[/quote]

Reply to Demigod: Staging updates – v1.01 talk in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

Agreed - everytime an update is posted it will raise the interest in the game. I also agree - get stable 1.01 out the door, if it is good then produce a demo and possibly a discount offer at that point. After each 'major' update give out offers and you should see the interest build. The game is a real goer but only if we get these issues out of the way. Any ETA for 1.01 - some of the stuff at the moment like the lag/ai quitting (30 sec delay) are so critical that I won

Reply to Ingame VoIP [ TeamSpeak3 SDK ] in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

[quote who="kryo" reply="3" id="2236189"]We're already planning to add high-voice-quality VOIP to Impulse Reactor (though it may be a while).[/quote] Sounds good - in this case we would still need team players to all be able to hear each other regardless of whether they know each other on impulse. For me I would like to see voip integration for the team players - showing which person is talking and the ability to mute easily any player. Tals

Reply to Regulus is unfair and should deal less damage. in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I'm not sure he is unfair in the damage he does, however the mines can be difficult to counter. Two thoughts on this Mines should be dangerous to both sides - the allies should be able to see them but if they walk over them BOOM secondly Regulus should only be able to lay them where he is. I kept having the things thrown behind me in one game - maybe my tactic should have been to go for the kill - however against 2 it effectively cuts off your escape. Tals

Reply to Death Penalty is to Severe in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

At the beginning of the thread I was very much for reducing the death time, however after playing light penalty it doesn't work well. Spawns are too quick and it does seriously increase the time for a game to actually complete. The Gold side I am not so sure, you get a heap of cash when you kill someone, at the same time you get cash during the death time and xp so i'm moving towards reducing the amount of cash gained from a kill maybe to 50% Tals p.s I don't play SIMS

[quote who="Harkonis" reply="7" id="2231084"]I agree that it's a bit too unbalanced. you do need a penalty for dying, but as it is right now you lose the gold you would earn, lose the control of the map due to being dead, you give the other team gold (and a lot of it), you give the other team xp. it all adds up to a rather huge swing. You do take longer to come back based on level how it is right now btw, and I think the respawn time is fine. personally I think th
