+1 Either, but Prefer 2v2

And thankyou as well for all the efforts you make. We ALL need to do more to see new players come on. Almost every day I am disgusted with the way I see players being treated in the lobbies. If we don't make a bit of an effort for them they won't stick around with the natural wastage that occurs anyway the last 5 of us still playing won't be able to get a 3v3 going.
Be forewarned that some players will treat you badly as a new player. i.e. letting you waiting in their lobby for ages and then booting you without a word. But there are lots of new players, just make sure you play the single player campaigns to learn the ropes, and read the lobby titles before joining to avoid disappointment. But the game is awesome, so yes.
[quote who="OMG_pacov" reply="3" id="2869537"] The obvious team stack with a host yelling READY! [/quote] Those stat whores need to maintain their obviously suspect 65%++ stats somehow. And I say obviously suspect because if every game was balanced no way would so many people have such uber stats.
[quote who="OMG_pacov" reply="3" id="2869537"] Hosting all welcome games and kicking players [/quote] This bit particularly grieves me. We are a small community and I can see why. 'We' treat new players like the brown stuff in general. If a game says 'no noobs' or 'skilled' or '>150 games', then fine people should read better. But kicking noobs for joining a game they have been invited too is just encouragi
Lots of people kick for little or no reason, so I suppose in the case you describe above you can kick me :) Last night I got kicked from a game and called a f@@@ing moron because I did not go down and join the Dark side. My pointing out that there was no open slot on either side for anyone to move did not seem to deter the host either. I was a moron, and that was final.
Depends on what the other team had already picked but assuming your going in blind, and you got skilled players in each I might pick. Crucible: UB, Sedna +Erb/Oak/Rook Prison: Oak, Erb +UB/TB Cata: UB, Oak +Reg/Rook But frankly these choices are not necessarily any better than any others, its how you play 98% not what you play.
Very kind of you to remind them.

[quote quoting="post"] Just bought and installed the game. [/quote] Great to have you on board. If you don't mind the tip I would suggest playing through the single player campaigns at least once before you play online, there is a steep learning curve and new players often get discouraged after getting crushed on their first few games.
Some chaps on here talk about having more than one account. I had assumed you simply created a second profile but that does not seem to be the case. Do you actually buy a second copy of Demigod? More than one Impulse account, but that would presumably need a second copy of the game too?
Hi Rohezal, I don’t doubt it’s frustrating, but sadly too many new players get the game and immediately go straight to multiplayer without bothering to play through the single player first, let alone having read a few guides first. I played a game with a brand new player yesterday and he went almost the entire game without buying an item, either citadel or regular shop. Although eventually he decided to heed my pleas and bought some ar
If anything its more like Tetris.
Maybe this one is already well known, but could not find mention of it. Just played a game with DA against another DA. On two occasions one of us used a TP to escape back to the portal. The other attempted a swap to stop them getting away. The result the first time was me stood at his regen crystal. The second time him at mine. Working as intended, or a bug?

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="32" id="2850921"] So should you get it now? Well, really that depends on whether you believe we (Stardock) will get our act together over the next half year because if you buy it now, you'll get the first expansion pack for free which is now expected to go out this Spring or early Summer. [/quote] Well thats actually the bit I most emphatically believe. I did not discover Gal Civ until Dark Ava
Well I'm convinced. £30+ for an unstable beta is too much. I will jut try and forget this game exists and come back next Christmas.
[quote quoting="post"] I was just wondering what happened to this game, [/quote] It was full of connection bugs. It was painful to try and play and favour points kept getting wiped. As a result all the initially interested players were dropping away as fast as joining, and before long faster, never managed to achieve critical mass, and the game never took off as a viable multi-player sensation as it could well have been. Only
Pacov sir, Thanks! this will be fun for a good few SP games on a sleepy Sunday morning while waking for the rest of the world to wake up and log onto Demigod!
IN1, I don’t have a problem with you. Although I can see you clearly have a problem with me for whatever reason. May I point out that Kryo has already locked one thread because you wanted to hound me. So let me make it clear. I am not interested in having some running argument with you, I just don’t care. I’m sure you a nice enough bloke and we have somehow got off on the wrong foot. I would like very much to get along amicably. But please do not bring this up in every threa
Perhaps someone knows the name of the file I should edit? Presumably I just use a text editor and change the bit in the OP.
[quote who="OMG_pacov" reply="3" id="2814186"] If other users have examples of that player harassing them or other folks, please post here. Thanks. [/quote] Yes, played a game with him, I think I was actually on his team where there was a constant stream of verbal insults, mainly xenophobic. It actually made me pity him and I asked why he was such an angry young man, was there any abuse issues he wanted to share which seemed to slow hi
I think its extremely likely given the size of the universe. Perhaps even intelligent life somewhere. But we will likely never meet them again because the universe is so big.
You know what? What ever dude, I've got a life and your way too invested in this little crusade. Hate me, make people suspect me, whatever turns you on kid. I just don't care and be bothered to play who said what and did what. Bye...
[quote who="IN1" reply="3" id="2810122"] PS: Oh, and I'm still waiting for your explanation as to why have you stolen the victory from those guys by quitting the game as a host?[/quote] I did not, you sat at the crystal for several minutes bitching and then you quit. Not me. [quote who="IN1" reply="3" id="2810122"] If I still have a replay of this nightmare (I think I do), I'll post it.[/quote]
