It also gets in the way of post-game chatting... which is lame.

I don't really see any gratuitous use of CAPSLOCK in this thread. [e digicons]:\[/e]
[quote who="EadTaes" reply="19" id="2190855"] If I has the money I'd upgrade to XP 64 bit. [/quote] My personal experience with 64 bit XP has been one of frustration. Microsoft has basically abandoned it. Very tough to find drivers, updates, etc. I built my computer expecting to use XP 64 bit and ended up swapping it out for 32 bit Vista. Long story short, I have a nice chunk of RAM that isn't even addressable to my OS. Yay.
I've played a ton of War3 in my day, but I guess I spent most of my time in the ladder and not in customs. I guess games and communites change a lot over a period of years too. I can see it being used to differentiate between password protected games and public games. That makes sense.
[quote who="Moapy" reply="5" id="2227029"]The game is not designed to cater to new players trying to learn. I.e. no skill matching. [/quote] It is my understanding that there is skill matching going on in the background (in Pantheon mode of course). Connection problems and the limited pool of available players at any given time both pose problems that hinder the effective use of a skill matching system. I agree with a large portion of your post.
[quote who="TheTrav" reply="4" id="2229316"]I strongly suspect that it's related to impulse community stuff, possibly even checking that you're registered to play the game, but given that I might be playing offline or on a disconnected LAN and given that you're going to let me play anyway, you shouldn't make me wait for over a minute if the response is lost or a connection cannot be established.[/quote] This. It most commonly locks up with LAN play or even sometimes right when I hit t
Pubbing. I am starting to see this word used all the time. Other than the RL usage, I am not really familiar with the term. Urbandictionary says that it is the act of playing on ' pub 'lic servers. I'm assuming that it's mostly a FPS term then? Games that use a client-server connection scheme, right? I don't see how it applies to Demigod. I get the feeling that the word has kind of evolved to mean... "playing without a set team or clan." I
[quote quoting="post"] 3v3 League (your team can have 6 players on the roster)[/quote] Explain please? Is that three players and three alternates?
I have been trying to navigate the esl website all day today from multipule computers to no avail whatsoever. :( /attempts to stifle a "2 Demigods, 1 Cup" joke
That sucks :(
[quote who="Milskidasith" reply="1" id="2229329"]There is an item better than health potions (that is a consumable). Sigils of Vitality. The thing costs 500 (a bit pricey), but at level 5 with my UB build, they give me 2000 HP instant-cast, and last more than long enough to retreat. At max level, I'm getting 4000 HP instantly. It's nuts. While they are a bit more expensive than big health potions for the amount of life they heal (unless you are HP stacking) these things are great&n
[quote who="Meph777" reply="6" id="2229326"]I mailed Stardock today and i hoped they give me my Money back without intruducing my Lawyer.[/quote] I'm sure they will treat you fairly. I hate to point it out... but a threat of legal action over a $40 video game is a tad bit unrealistic/immature.
Okay. My troll mode is turned off. In all seriousness, that's exactly the impression that I imagine almost anybody would get after a casual reading of your post. But it's a moot point and totally off topic. I too hope that they get the kinks ironed out of the multiplayer stats.
[quote who="kingbee" reply="16" id="2229313"]who's responsible for all the violins on tv?[/quote] We demand an answer. Stop stringing us along!
1) History indicates that Stardock will produce a quality product. 2) Abandoning a project that has the attention of so many (horrifyingly loyal) customers would be such a huge ding to both their credibility and their market position that they simply couldn't afford to do it. I hope
[quote who="eZaek" reply="5" id="2229285"]And what makes everyone assume they both dropped at the same time, anyway?[/quote] [quote quoting="post"] I was just put into a Pantheon match against two Unclean Beasts by myself, as Oak. It was Domination. A couple of minutes into the game, they both dropped , and this happened. [/quote] Fail.
[quote who="gugabalog" reply="13" id="2229284"] People are not responsible enoguh nowadays to e relied upon to care for what their kids are watching or exposing themselves to. [/quote] So you trust the government to make better choices than the 'average person' ? It's not my business what your kids do.

Have you emailed [email protected]? They do respond to forum messages, but email is the 'official' and most direct route to take.
[quote]its much easier to prevent damage from Ooze than from Venom Spit. [/quote] Without a doubt. I do have to point out, though... that UB tends to be the fastest DG in a given game. Getting away from either ability can be difficult.
I guess I can kind of be blamed for that one.
[quote]Its just wrong, exposing people to that[/quote] Not to sound preachy, but I think people should be free to choose what they expose themselves (or their kids) to.
I don't think people are really reading the thread as much as they are thinking it is just another nerf call. The OP has a point, but people are either dismissing it completely and moving on to the next line of thought... or they aren't understanding what he is talking about. You don't usually even know the Reg is there when he snipes you. You don't actually fight him. He fights you. The OP is saying that this isn't fun and he has proposed an idea that might fix the perceived problem.
