[quote who="PozzyFreak" reply="4" id="2156900"]I am still unsure if I've played a match with a human being. [/quote] Press tab to bring up the scores, look at the pings. 0 Ping = Bot.
Pretty much all mine are less than 30 mins. It took me forever to actually hit level 20 in a match though, I agree with the others, if the game is lasting to long your to worried about just leveling your hero. Go for the win.
They are all useful, but I think the ones that rely on damage spells have the biggest setback in long games. If your Torchbearer, that 1k fireball doesn't really do jack if the game lasts to where everyone is level 15+. He is a beast til the end though after people start getting good gear.
Providing gold from kills on these would be foolish. It would feed the other team and actually help them, you would be a hinderence to your team for using minions. I already don't use minions with a general, building them instead as assasins, why would we want yet another reason to not use them?
I've been trying to play some games lately and they get hung up ALOT in the creation phase. I have been able to play some games, it just takes a very long time to get one together. I don't know if something on my end is hurting it though and would like to know some things: Is the port forwarding something everyone needs to do? If I am seeing that I connect to people in the connection details tab, am I in the clear? I shouldn't have to change anything in that case? <p
I had the same kind of connection issues with Sins of a Solar Empire when it was released. I'm hoping this game gets fixed sooner (I don't know if sins ever did get fixed for me, I never went back) If my linksys router, the most common router brand sold in america is to difficult to traverse, then it's your issue not mine. Fix it please. I do enjoy the game, I just am frustrated having bought the last 2 of stardocks products both having issues with me because of multiplayer.</
Easier online functionality, aside from that a campaign for SP. I'm already kinda getting bored of SP maps without any story to them and have yet to get online functioning properly.
[quote]Yup, I'm having a terrible time connecting too. I can get to the lobby (a room in the 90's usu) and see dozens of people sitting there, but only 2 games in the join list, both of which have been looking for people for the last half hour. Seems I am not the only one with issues. When I try and host a game I get that popup saying there is something wrong with my router/firewall settings and most people will not be able to join. I've disabled my Norton, set Windows Firewall
