Holding space rotates the camera in the final release too :) I didn't know about the Ctrl bit, but I usually don't have a problem. The demigods are generally far larger than the minions, so selecting them quickly usually isn't a problem, even with a lot of foes on the screen. Bara
A minor update today, with most of the changes being done to the backend of things. Change log is below: 4/29/2009 - Lots of back-end changes to prepare for public API. - Added sorting options to the Top Demigods and Maps pages. - Updated all pages to make a more consistent error message system. - Updated player search to avoid certain errors. Bara
I have a more interesting system in mind :) I think you guys will like it when I eventually develop it. Thanks for the screenshot mickeko. Bara
There is a separate rankings list for custom games as well, but for the most part custom games do not count for anything. Rdubya: I'd recommend checking http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com and looking through the stats there. I'm not sure what you mean by game search. Do you mean like the player search on the Pantheon site? Bara
[quote who="kryo" reply="16" id="2175218"] Tough battles, almost impossible to win on equal skill. Those sorts of matchups are only supposed to happen when the side with fewer players has higher ratings. It's a bit out of whack now though because it doesn't take the number of games they've played to get said ratings into account strongly enough. We were going to add some more delay into the process before the system starts giving people that sort of match-up, so if that d
[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="24" id="2173846"]Again, I think we are meaning we would like a way to clear the histories of our replies, at least from our list. Before I changed names, I had 10 or 12 pages...most of which I had no interest in ever visiting again. It is understood that we are not "subscribed" to the replies pages. It would be cool to be able to clear them, or to be able to choose to remove selected ones, like clearing sent PMs in the PM section.[/quote] I disagree.&nb
But again, the My Replies page is not meant to show your interests. It's meant to be a history of your replies. I think what you're looking for is a Subscribed Threads page. You'd click a button on any thread titled "Subscribe" and it would appear in it's own special page. You can then unsubscribe at any time from that page. I think this has been suggested before, I should already have it on my list. Bara

[quote who="Gunney00" reply="12" id="2172483"]Just played 2 skirmish games that was basically against bots since all the players dropped at the begining. I won both games and in stats they both have me listed as the loser and dont award me favor points! grrrr.....[/quote] All the players dropped at the beginning? No, I think what happened is that you were disconnected, and the game created a new match for you. However, because the game does not handle disconnects well, you
[quote who="Ahiodsohi" reply="5" id="2172262"] Quoting GunslingerBara, reply 1We are looking into all of the various disconnect and quitting issues. Look for a fix in a future patch Bara We know you are trying to fix the net code, sir. That was not the point of the OP.[/quote] Fixing the net code and disconnect issues will resolve the OP's problems. Bara

You're thinking of Starcraft/Warcraft aren't you? That won't work here, because each map is not based on tiles. Each map is a unique 3D model. Bara
Any games counted as a custom game likely means someone dropped during the game. We're working on that issue. For the time being, ignore games that show you on the wrong side or show it as a custom game when it was really a Pantheon or Skirmish game. Bara
I wouldn't mind seeing something like that. Being able to re-position the flags, portals, and minion paths would make for some interesting variations. Bara
Thanks for the kind words :) Thanks to your info, it seems very likely that the statistic counter jobs are not running. I'll take a look today and see what I can find. As for your debug errors, next time you get them feel free to forward them to me or [email protected]. The more we know about errors the better :) Bara
I'll see about implementing a hide system. However, mickeko is right, you're technically not "subscribing" to anything. It's simply a list of all topics you've replied to. It may require a bit of work though. I'll add it to my list of things, but it won't be marked as important or high priority. Bara
Please be patient. At the moment, the connection issues are trying GPG and Stardock up. Once those are resolved, we will resolve the issues with game stats counting improperly. Most of the issues come from disconnects and quits. When the connection issues are corrected, that should resolve half the issues. The other half will be when GPG implements a better system for handling quits and disconnects. Bara
[quote who="bman654" reply="5" id="2171074"]DT series rocks! I think the first book is the worst but 2-7 are excellent.[/quote] The first book captured my imagination best :) The rest of the series after the 3rd, I kind of knew what to expect in the world. Bara
[quote who="Fred_Bonaparte" reply="5" id="2171044"]The real downside is that it would be really hard for a modder to make a map, unlike all the other rts where you use elemental bricks to build a map (and so it is relatively easy to create a sdk for the modders) Demigod uses huge 3D models. But i also love those awesome maps, i just hope that some other will come in a few monthes.[/quote] It would likely require a 3D modeler to create the map. On the plus side, it wou
This happens every time? Or is it just a 1-time thing? Bara
[quote who="mriguy" reply="8" id="2169499"]I second this. Demigod should be marketed like a TF2 multiplayer game. If you stop that silly "RTS with RPG elements" nonsense, reviewers would stop knocking the lack of single player campaign. GPG did a good job making each class unique and it has almost all the classes necessary. NEEDS A SPY AND ENGINEER CLASS. Look, as long as you have mute/votekick feature and it is team only chat, there is no problem with VOIP. [/quote]</p
Imo, that's the greatest thing about Demigod: the design. The maps are very well done, and awe-inspiring describes them well. But it's not just that. The Demigods look great, the death screen is very moody, the music, the sounds, it's all put together very well. There's a reason why most reviews say the game looks beautiful :) Bara
[quote who="Sorceresss" reply="22" id="2167096"] By the way, Bara, I did read the Stephen King novel your nick & image refer to. I haven't had the time to read the following novels of the series yet.

I played 3 games so far, Won all 3 But the third one was a 2v2 and my ally dropped out, when i checked the site later it said I lost with totally incorrect Favor Point totals.[/quote] That likely means that a second game was created for the dropped ally and you were replaced with an AI. When that second game finished, it took the AI's stats and added them as

Today, my name in Demigod is still my original account name, dtickner. Does your automated job simply hate me because I'm Australian, or is there something wrong?[/quote] Looks ok to me in the database. Is the game still reporting your old name? Bara
