[quote who="Alpha492" reply="8" id="2231086"] Quoting regabond, reply 3theres umm options to change this and upgrades and items to decrease ur death time. Thats awfully condescending I'm sure he means Pantheon games[/quote] The English was poor but he/she got the message across. Pantheon and skirmish does need fixing. Custom games light penalty should probably be the default. That it is customisable will hopefully make our own custom matches more enjoyable.

Obviously doesn't effect Pantheon and skirmish but worth checking out. Thank you Tals

Reply to After Battle Report Screen in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I think a post game report would be useful. I think at that point you should be able to check your opponents out. Hopefully gives an insite into their build - sometimes you see a build that just has to be cheating but is more likely caused by just a good build. Re the report - it could be hidden via F9 etc or they could really make it neat by having the chat below it so players could chat regarding it. Tals

Death Penalty is to Severe in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Especially at the beginning of game an outage of 29 seconds (I think that is the value) effectively puts you out of the game if you're playing experienced players. When you come back particularly the early game the other players can have leveled 2 above you and captured the advance flags and it's downhill from there. My suggestion would be to have a lower death penalty. I did wonder whether it should then be incremented - at the moment it is so severe i'm not even sure what it's tryin

Agreed - they have done great things with the game over the last few weeks. Really hope that it becomes a long term game for me and with Stardock and GPG i'm confident that can happen

Reply to Pantheon: No, it’s not just you in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

The proxy system will certainly help Pantheon a load. Just had a very frustrating half an hour where we had players that either just wouldn't connect to one person or to everyone. What then happens is they eject and the game then starts and you end up with a 2v1 scenario - it should never allow this. If a player ejects either it takes you back to player selection or even better pull in another person from the queue. Unfortunately those same people causing the issue continue to

[quote who="eobet" reply="9" id="2224103"]Ventrilo and Teamspeak are third party apps which requires your to install, setup and log onto various servers. Then it requires all of the people you play with to also be aware of these apps and have them installed and logged on and so on... It's utterly unrealistic to expect everyone to use competing third party applications for what should be an in-game feature, especially in a game with built in community support.[/quote]

OK! Finally DG is delivering the goods and boy those goods are good! The game really needs Voice Comms bad, I have ventrillo so frankly i'm ok but our team work is telling against non vent guys - put voice comms in the game for the teams and it makes it fairer as well as hopefully making a better team experience for both.

Reply to Yes finally! in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

Well it's a lot better. Managed to have my first Pantheon game and the game showing who is waiting to get in a game is very good. However the second pantheon game we ended up with a 2v1 scenario - hopeless! Anyway he quit (I don't blame him) and we wasted 20 minutes wiping up. Did a couple of custom games. First occasion 1 player witha 3second ping caused us all to lag out and disconnect. Second time we literally had a split second stutter a

I can't see anyone wanting AI players in game unless they are going SP or COOP - in terms of waiting as long as you are getting active progress on player matching then most people will wait. Its when you just get a limited feedback that it falls down MP > SP games i'm afraid regardless whether it makes it more difficult to manage - that's why they are more fun tbh - AI will follow the rules.

Reply to Late Thursday connectivity update verdicts in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

OK i'm revising my earlier verdict. Lobby is far better. However had a couple of games now where all of us connect bar a couple - for those people there is zero information, just they don't connect. We really need more info - otherwise it's totally impossible to know who the culprit is and what they need to correct. Frustrating but i'm sure Stardock will figure it

Reply to Demigod: Two updates in one day? Yes! in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

Not quite true - they have an issue that you don't have. That doesn't mean they have anything wrong with their connectivity but something specific to them is causing the issue. The devs I am sure will narrow down on these ones like they did with the sound issue which is frankly amazing that they sorted Kudos and lets keep it civil Tals
