[quote]Today i played 3 games with some friends. Since we where winning some emokid started to quit the game. After 1 or 2 quited i would get desync's with my friends. Resulting in the fact that my stats in Custom Games are set on LOST instead of winning. Only the host got a Win on his name. Any place they can iether correct that or remove the game score?[/quote] That's a different issue - you can't trust the recordkeeping at all. Here's a game t

Desync has been happening about 50% of the time when people quit, ever since the connection patch, from what I've seen.

Yes Stardock could find a new method of monetization if they placed ads within the desync error windows. If you do, you owe me a cut for the idea!

Reply to What is the deal here... in Demigod Demigod Forums

The router is part of the PC package. Configuring your router is important and should be something everyone learns to do. It's not that hard, either. And if you don't know how, just plug the internet straight into your computer. Oh, you need the router? Then you should learn to use it, same as anything else.

So not only do you have to deal with leavers on occasion. Sure, they partially ruined the game, but someone on the other team agreed to drop too. Or something. Anyways, it doesn't matter because now everyone is desynced. Whatever that means. Doesn't seem to actually affect the gameplay but the game feels compelled to pop a nice fat error window in front of you obscuring your vision, eating your commands, and making playing impossible until you click "Ok"</

[quote]Don't you think at some point that tips the scale the other way?[/quote] No? Each team would get X gold/second, regardless of the number of players. No imbalance there. The hero kills from being down a man will probably make the difference, but each hero on the leaver side would have better items thanks to the gold redistribution and such they might have a chance.

[quote]I don't think splitting the meager gold of someone who ran out and got killed by towers twice in the first 5-10 minutes is really gonna sway a game much.[/quote] Also split the continuous gold they would have been getting among the other people. That's a lot of gold.

[quote]Infinite, you agreed with this in another thread before. What changed your mind?[/quote] What do you mean? I've forever supported the solutions I posted. Coincidentally - they're the same things that happen in Dota (in Dota you could take the leaver items, but I think you should just get the gold here) I know it works because I've won games of Dota even with people having left on my own team.

Reply to Tough Love for the AI in Demigod Demigod Forums

Personally I think the only solution for the AI is complete removal. The main problems are that it NEVER flees, and completely disregards incoming damage in its decisions. (Runs into towers, ignores 2v1 demigods attacking it, etc) And it will often just stand around for no reason.

Reply to Ragers, Quitters, Plug Pullers, and Pros in Demigod Demigod Forums

I don't think there's any way to legitimately save a game with these wacky solutions. If anything the following should happen: 1. Leaver demigod is removed, NO AI. 2. Leaver's gold is distributed evenly among remaining people. 3. Leaver's items are sold at half value and money again evenly distributed. 4. Optional - Death penalty for team is reduced by proportion of leavers lost (1 leaver in 3v3 = Death Penalty -33%). Or the death penalty for the ot

Reply to what gives on these lag spikes in Demigod Demigod Forums

There seem to be three kinds of lag spikes also: The ones where the game starts slideshowing, but still moving forward. This is the traditional "someone's ping just shot up" The ones where the game completely stops moving for a little while, but you can still type messages and people can chat. No idea why this happens but it occurs every couple games. And the ones where the connection window pops up and someone's timeout time starts increasing.&nbs

Reply to Is there a way to tell if a person disconnected deliberately or if he/she got d/c? in Demigod Demigod Forums

You can tell if someone mysteriously disconnects after you kill them (or kill towers and get their portal or something) that it was intentional. The game cannot tell though.
