[quote who="Rightwinger" reply="4" id="2205238"]How do you reboot the franchise and wipe out the entire 43-year continuity of five entire series of hundreds of episodes and ten movies (not to mention the thousands of books), without "alienating all the fans by tossing aside the well-loved and already established content"? You can't.[/quote]I wasn't alienated (yet).

[quote who="Eternal_Silence" reply="7" id="2204721"]Or, as in WC3, the remaining team mates just take over for the guy who left. Click on your DG, you get your UI. Click on the dude-who-left-the-game's DG, and you get the UI for that DG. When you have your DG selected, you see all your spells, talent tree, gear and then when you select the other DG it all just switches to his spells, etc. Seems simple to me.[/quote]Hm, yeah ok, that might work ;).

[quote who="Sorceresss" reply="4" id="2204117"] Quoting Spooky, reply 2 You shouldn't resign from a game. Would you be generous enough to grant us, obtuse minds, an elaborate explanation of your dogmatic edict ?[/quote]Well there are only two options available when you resign: either your own team will be one Demigod short, or your team will receive an inferior AI player. None of which is desirable. And the whole enemy team suddenly quitting or resigning i

[quote quoting="post"] When a user legitimately quits the game through Demigod's menu, why does it bring up the 30 second lag timer? I can understand using the timer when someone's still connected and having trouble, but shouldn't Demigod differentiate between the two? Is it a bug? Will it be fixed? [/quote]Yes, it's a bug. The Engine is otherwise perfectly capable of differentiating between leaving (i.e. sending a quit message or whatver) and a time out.

[quote who="alban987" reply="13" id="2203595"]nearly every game I've played where someone drops or rage quits or is running the game on a pentium 2, they say, "boy I wish I knew they were going to do that before the game started"[/quote]And this is, in actual numbers, significantly more than the people who spoke out against it here?

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="18" id="2203230"]Depending on what checker you use, for example Shields Up!, when it reports your ports as closed, thats actually a good thing as it means it can at least find them, however it did not receive a response. If it reported them as stealthed, which means they were unlocateable, it means your port forwarding is not working as the ports appear invisible to anything sending a request. I'm not an expert on Networking or the operations of port

[quote who="Rightwinger" reply="10" id="2203555"]Kirk, I might add, was 34 when he took command of the Enterprise. There are so many continuity errors, and, yes, whacky coincidences, in this movie, it was actually hard to watch.[/quote]This is no continuity error. As soon as Nero's ship traveled back in time, the Star Trek timeline as we know it was changed. Subsequently, Kirk's father was killed, which altered the personality of him, causing him not to enlist in Starfleet right away, ch

Ouch Dathurts: we aren't talking about personal banlists here. We are talking about the banlist mentioned in the original post. Shouldn't that be clear? Why did you throw in arguments about personal banlists in the first place? The point stands, such a banlist is a bad idea because of griefing, depending on the threshold. If it's too low, a group of people can single out another individuum just for personal reasons or for generally being asses. If it's too high there is

[quote who="Ouchy Dathurts" reply="4" id="2203010"]How is that horrible? If your evidence is nothing then keep your mouth shut. "Joe is banned" isn't a viable reason to kick someone. Maybe Joe did something, not going to take the chance, kicked. Guy with the ban is clearly lazy, not worth my time, kick. Would it make more sense to just take someones word for it when they present zero evidence? There's no point in my wasting my time so I'll free up 2 slots which will be filled in seconds and w

[quote who="taintofven" reply="1" id="2203003"]L4D allows a team to kick people in their custom games system, and a new person can just take the spot. it's arbitrary and can be abused, but it's better to have that feature than not.[/quote]No, it is not. Unjustified branding and subsequent kicking out of a game is unacceptable.

[quote who="theubersmurf" reply="4" id="2202873"]If your ports are stealthed, they won't show up as open using that application. This is how I was decieved by the results I got from it. Reset my router and started over from scratch too. waste of time...many modern ethernet cards will hide the ports from outside inquisitors.

In my last game, I just leveled up when I was using the Hammer Slam. Immediately after the Hammer Slam hit the ground, I used a Skill Point for the Hammer Slam. Instead of having a 10 second cooldown, I was able to immediately use the Hammer Slam again. Though I am not exactly sure if it really happened that way.
