[quote who="VyperXXX" reply="23" id="2209861"]You guys can talk tech and quote your google research notes all you want, but at the end of the day, for most people, high pings equal laggy games. I dont need to have any IT knowledge whatsoever to to know that 90% of my laggy, unenjoyable games are when there are folks with very high pings. [/quote] No one's arguing this at all, what we're arguing is what is the acceptable ping in Demigod? The answer: less than 350ms. In an MM

WTF is wrong with you people?[/quote] I don't think he was pastronizing anyone, I think we was thanking the American players - who, at this point, make up a majority of the community - who understood that anything less than 350 is entirely playable. For many of 'us people' it's a rare thing indeed not to be kicked from a US game.
[quote who="Sly_Squash" reply="7" id="2209646"]Humans respond to visual stimuli, on average, in less than a 1/4 of a second (250ms... seriously, google it...)Where do you get 800? Answer: Out of your arse.[/quote] No, they detect visual stimuli on an average of 2 to 3 tenths of a second. This average applied only to young adults in peak physical conditions. The ability to comprehend the stimuli, think rationally as how to react and begin reacting come after the detectio
Sounds like a fairly major problem, I'd email them rather than posting on the forums - I expect you'd get a faster response. Best of luck!
I can't say that I can see any change of any kind. I've tried a bunch of games in Pantheon, Custom Game and Skirmish and there always seems to be one person that my connection gets 'stuck' trying to connect to, and it ruins it. I have managed to play zero games on this new patch. I'm sure you did a lot of work behind the scenes, however this doesn't appear to have helped me at all I'm sorry to say. Looking forward to these reflection/proxy servers getting 'turned on' and may
[quote who="Ouchy Dathurts" reply="13" id="2206278"]I do find it interesting that some people are anti-elitist yet they've got a very elitist attitude against DotA or the players of DotA. That's quite hypocritical.[/quote] I don't believe I have an elitest attitude towards DotA or the people who play it - I disagree with their behaviour and ideals immensely because they themselves have an elitest attitude; the community as a whole shuns new players and treats them like the scum of the
[quote who="Sean0883" reply="18" id="2206787"]If this list ends up becoming a joke, ill remove it from my list.[/quote] In my opinion, it was a joke before the person creating it finished coding the page. The concept of a community accessed and run Ban list is terrible and players should be directed away from it, rather than to it.
From the videos and my experience with DotA, this game sounds like poor copy-off of dota and it is extremely frustrating due to the fact that it's filled with connection issues. So, you haven't actually played Demigod, as per your amendment to someone elses post, and your basing your entire opinion of the game on ... videos?

They re-released several versions of Warcraft II that were Bnet enabled - I actually think they were offically labelled as Battle.net editions.

[quote who="Ouchy Dathurts" reply="16" id="2204807"] They're simple yes or no questions. If you understand them then there really isn't much to discuss. But......[/quote] Well, in my opinion, strict Yes or No questions can be used to direct responses based on the particular wording of the question rather than accurate collecting of opinions. For example, if I asked "Do you believe the internet is comprised of bad people?" answering yes can be viewed as saying the internet is entirel

[quote who="alban987" reply="14" id="2204796"]Really, so now any grouping of like minded people is being 'elitest'?[/quote] If that group believes their group is a gethering of superior people who exlcude people who are inferior people, yes. The groups you listed are not elitest. Spinning words to make your point only works when you actually spin the words, rather than make obviously over-reaching statements. Nice profile picture.
Me, I'm probably going to research some kind of 24 hour disease in advance, fake the symptoms on the closest Thursday and take Friday off of work so that I can get in some serious play time. I have a lot of catching up to do. I'll also be taking my phone off the hook, apologising to my girlfriend, turning off the lights at the front of my house so people think I'm not home, stocking the fridge and cupboards with the requried gaming provisions and then get comfortable.
I think OS's are going to skip 3D and move into whatever comes afterwards; thought controlled computing comes to mind, pardon the pun.

Edit: Quote tags hate me. Again. Everyone knows, Australias have much bigger pings than Americans. But you should play with their pings regaurdless to be a good sport. And stop kicking their pings, it's very hurtful. For your sake I hope this post was intended as satire... Stop kicking me. Seriously. 250 ping is NOT too high. The fact I live in Australia is not going to lag the game. See, this game uses magical thing called netlag. It me
