Reply to Fix the damn priest upgrade already sheesh in Demigod Demigod Forums

This is stupid. Buying priests relatively early can be part of your strategy, i.e. if you are able to push most of the time, Priests will put additional pressure on the enemy and get those towers out of the way even faster. It's a strategic decision that can be good or bad. Don't make it's impact any less important simply because a team does not communicate well. Or simply because someone does not know how to use it effectively.

[quote who="Dead Ghost" reply="12" id="2271388"]I thought that demigod's game list and logins are on a separate server and do not share the same "space" with Joeuser.com. Or maybe i don't understand this correctly, as i'm not a network savvy person.[/quote]They share the same database "stuff".

Reply to Is Demigod dead? in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="Vladesch" reply="2" id="2271222"]I see these numbers being quoted by others too (even frogboy), but Ive gone to the server page http://www.demigodthegame.com/opengames.aspx during what should be prime time for the US (and for eu), and the most Ive ever seen on was a bit over 800.

Reply to LAN games do not show up. in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

Indeed. Maybe post the whole content of ipconfig /all here, so we can see what connections you have on your PC. And I am guessing you made sure that both players run the same version? What kind of problems do you get with most EA games?

Reply to EU/GER/US East/West/Midwest, etc. in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Most custom games have one of these tags associated with them. My question is: Do most people also expect the word "only" to be understood? I'm in the US east catagory, and I feel no problem joining anything in the US. I avoid GER or FR tags because I don't speak those languages. But what about EU? Do you europeans want all us US folks to stay out, or is it ok to join? -- Tukulis [/quote]I put

[quote who="Sly_Squash" reply="6" id="2270691"]IF TECHNICAL ISSUES ARE CAUSING GLOBAL DISCONNECTS FOR ALL, fix those IF ISOLATED PEOPLE ARE HAVING CONNECTIONS ISSUES, avoid them FOR OTHER NON-RAGE-RELATED QUITS (like "have to walk the dog") stiffer disconnect penalties and other things I've mentioned will encourage players to ensure they have the time to finish their games.[/quote] Disconnect penalties will not "ensure" that no player will ever leave for whatever reason.

[quote]- if they happen at the mid (not rage) see above debunk[/quote] I don't see you mentioning anything about "fixing" the problem of a player leaving for any reason. You just think it all comes down to pure rage quitting where your team would lose anyway. But a player leaving for no apparent reason whatsoever can always happen and there is no reason to screw up such a game further by having the AI feeding gold to the enemy.

[quote who="Sly_Squash" reply="23" id="2270588"]Not for me. AI at beginning = restart. AI at mid = either was gonna lose anyway or incredibly rare isolated occurrance that isn't worth worrying about.[/quote] I had plenty of games where we were up against a mediocre team and had one player in our team who quit. In many cases they weren't even rage quitting. Those games were ruined by the AI giving gold to the enemy. What exact problems do you have with a simple change as th

You mean like in the real world where laws absolutely prevent people from killing each other? Yeah... There is of course nothing wrong with discouraging rage quitting. However, simply letting those measurements be the only solution to AI farming would be absolutely ignorant. As long as AI players can happen in the game, AI farming will always be a problem.
