People come and go into Pantheon/Skirmish games all the time. Right now there might be 5 people online and in the queue but a minute from now that could jump to 50. We make you wait so that we have the largest pool of people to work with when matching you up. Bara
I do have some ideas for player comparisons, but I can try to do some trending for multiple players. Bara

Great write-up. I'll have to try this build myself later tonight. Bara
[quote who="lambdaman" reply="25" id="2213784"]It would be fun to be able to see how the per-Demigod stats changed over time, instead of just a bar chart showing the current standings.[/quote] I do have that data available, and is easy to get to. I'll see about making a page for each Demigod with stats and graphs just for that Demigod. The current Demigod graphs were meant for comparison purposes. Bara

[quote who="NeoVain" reply="7" id="2213487"]What i find disturbing is, that last patch, we could clearly see who was AI and who was not in the connection lobby (it said "AI Player") under their names, always vorxther and lertin and nacer to name a few. But this feature was removed in latest patch, now it just says the same as every human player(connecting to, connected to, trying to connect to etc...), its like the bots are trying to deceive us into playing with them![/quote] As per B

Yea, if you see any player with a ton of games or time played, then they're likely a bot. Also, Vorxther is not the one disconnecting, some other player is disconnecting and Vorxther is replacing that player as a bot. Bara
Another update, mostly adding graphs and the like to other pages besides player info: 5/18/2009 - Added graphs for each Pantheon tournament . - Added graphs for maps . - Added graphs for Demigods . - Minor bug fixes.<br
Just pushed an update with more graphs! Figure I'd put these everywhere, not just the player page. 5/18/2009 - Added graphs for each Pantheon tournament . - Added graphs for maps . - Added graphs for Demigods . -

I understand that these issues are frustrating, but we are trying our best to resolve all of the issues. Suffice it to say, we will not do a stats reset until these issues are resolved. I'm not certain why games are not being saved at all. That's something I'll have to look into. As far as games showing as losses, it's likely that you were disconnected from the game and pitted in a new game against AI. The original game is still going on, however.

I am having issues with people leaving the game sometimes and I am wondering what happens to your record when you leave a game where most players have exited. If I leave because I don't want to finish a game with a bunch of AI will it count against me?[/quote] While the system isn't perfect right now, our plans are that if you quit at any time after a certain

[quote who="Star8urst" reply="1" id="2205312"]Any chance you can explaing why my experience is so low? If I started at 1000 and have been mainly winning ... I should not be at less than 800. Might have something to do with beta I guess. Any idea when the stats get reset?[/quote] Your experience is low likely because of previous games played before we decided to ignore custom games in overall stats (and overall experience). No date has been chosen for the stat reset yet. <
The RP system you described is similar to what we are doing, but ours is more complex. I just checked your stats and you have nothing ranked 7,000 or anywhere near it. Your current Pantheon, Rokur experience is 1,018 and you are ranked 313. I'm assuming you played a few games and got your rank back up. See? It fixes itself simply by playing :) Here's what I think happened: Everybody starts with an experience of 1,000. Some people start a tournamen
[quote who="Sarcophogus" reply="22" id="2203714"]I definitely like the new stats available and the viewing. well done. I'd like to put a suggestion for a new statistic - Demigods wins/losses vs. other DGs (which already exists, so here's the kicker) which takes mirror matches into account. i.e. lets say there's a game with Erebus/TB vs. Erebus/Rook. Weighing statistics for Erebus win/loss ratio is only serving to anchor Erebus to a 50% rate.

Which forum specifically has a lot of pinned posts? We generally clean them out when they aren't necessary anymore, but perhaps one of the forums hasn't been checked in a while. Bara
I've done a similar strategy. It works, but I think it's cheap. It prevents the enemy from doing anything and forces them to stay away from you the entire game. It's very easy to do a hit and run with the UB, but very hard to counter such an attack, especially when done 3 times in a row. I try to avoid such strategies unless I'm cornered :) Bara
[quote who="Archon Saar" reply="19" id="2203093"] Quoting GunslingerBara, reply 12As for the rankings bit, either those numbers have not been updated because the person has not played a game in a while, or the person who has more losses than wins but is ranked higher has played mostly against people with a higher experience than him, so his experience shoots up faster when he wins and goes down slower when he loses. Vice versa for the player with the greater wins. Bara<b
I am having some people test this situation to see if we can reproduce it. Note that we are working on resolving all stat bugs related to disconnects. This may take some time to find all of the bugs and to resolve them, as it requires both GPG and Stardock to work very closely in both of our code. Bara
