If there are not enough players on release day it will most likely never happen. Maybe more people would buy/play it if there was a proper team matchmaking? Cucstom 2v2 is no fun because of the huge skill gap between players and the resulting frustration.
In Forged Alliance Forever there is a notification bar to let you know when somebody of your skill rating is currently searching for a game and you can just click on it to jump in a ladder match.
Well I tried League of Legends Friday and cant stop playing it. Its damn addictive and finally I can play as a premade with my friends without waiting all day. The heros rock as well. Its very easy to get into a game. They have 40+ heroes and they are all very different in playstyle and art. They have a server system and people can reconnect, I have not seen a single laggy game yet. I can suggest everyone to try it.
@op you are the kind of person that destroys the game. What is wrong when you want to play with friends??? This is a damn team game. If you dont have friends get some .... We just joined a 3v3 game there is one player who has 1400games and 80% win and his friend 80% win and they play together 50% of their games.

[quote who="kryo" reply="6" id="2320608"]Demo players use a separate lobby, however you can freely join #demigoddemo in IRC, and you can install the demo alongside the full game if you want to play with some friends who are looking into the game.[/quote] Nice thats a good way to split the community!

[quote who="cosma" reply="14" id="2318036"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 19 I can say, the game NEVER crashes on us here and the reason GPG hasn't already fixed it is that it doesn't happen there either. Thats all - do you believe in your own words? ...we will see after releasing 1.2[/quote] I have played with 10 different people and all have crashing issues. When I tab out of the game the chance I cant go back is like 10% and this is the same

It should poll 5 to 10 minutes to get a decent matchup so everyone gets a fun game. If it makes a crappy matchup in 2 minutes your game is over after 8 minutes and you have another 10 minutes wasted...

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="2307445"] If there's a typical daily population of say 2000 Demigod players and of that only 100 of them are "pre-arrange teams" it doesn't really make sense to spend a lot of resources to cater to those 100 people. Instead, the effort should be made to make it easier for the other 1900 players who just want to have a good fun game. I think those who have said that the problem creates itself because custom games are ranked have a good p
So you want to release a demo for a team based game without offering the ability to play as a team? Releasing a demo without team-pantheon or team-skirmish games will not encourage people to buy the game. They will join games and get stomped by premades or friends... hate the game and leave. This game is designed for premades... and 3 month after release there is no automatch functionality for them. Why?

[quote who="dolynick" reply="22" id="2291301"] Quoting Bhaal, reply 19 Tools like the core maximizer increase your framerate/fps but at the same time make the simspeed slower. Thats why it was never recommended to use them in multiplayer games. I'm sorry but that is just incorrect. The entire point of the Core Maximizer was to increase Sim Speed. The tool came with the caveat that it could cause a small hit in FPS but would make long games wh

[quote who="dolynick" reply="16" id="2290975"] This game is based on the SupCom engine, and while it's not going to be identical it should operate in roughly the same fashion. For SupCom, there was a community made tool call the "Core Maximizer" (or something like that) that re-assigned the games various threads more evenly across the available CPU cores. The end result of this was better sim speeds. I don't know if the person who created the tool is part of the Demigod
[quote quoting="post"] Not sure if theis should be in Tech or General, anyway: Ever since I learned about sim-speed, I've been proud that it was usually 6ish all the time. But an online game today, after 1.1 (which fixed lots of graphics glitches with my 7900GT) showed me there seems to be other problems now: I was playing a 4v4, and someone said MY sim was low (ha ha I thought), sure enough, it was -2 So I go to options, change everything to medium,

You think its kick-ass to release a unfinished game and have a community that supports it and praise them for fixing all the stuff that should have been there at release? Yes, because support starts after the game is released. Before the game is released its called development. Stardock has kick-ass support. G
[quote who="Sly_Squash" reply="3" id="2282200"]Why do I still get games against AI and with AI ? Why is it so hard to fix this? People drop after the game has already been setup. Typically this is because of groups of friends wanting to play with each other and dropping when they don't see each other in the connection info of the game. Why do I get games with people of all skill levels and not with something equal to me? I think it's the size of the community.
[quote who="Sly_Squash" reply="3" id="2282193"]Stardock support is kick-ass. The fact that the devs post directly to the users at all is basically a miracle, and the rate at which patches have been coming out far exceeds my expectations. Don't get me wrong; I was dismayed that there were no replays, moddability, and limited skirmish options (why no FFA!?!?!) at launch, but the gameplay is solid and the patches are really hitting the big ticket areas so I'm still optimistic.[/
I mean the game is there for more than 2 month and pantheon is far from working as it should... Why do I still get games against AI and with AI ? Why is it so hard to fix this? Why do I get games with people of all skill levels and not with something equal to me? Why do I get games with people who have a 500 or 400 ping to me? @Stardock Is it possible to fix this problems?

[quote quoting="post"] This idea comes from AnnihilatorX. I know it's simple, but I think it's brilliant. So, GPG and Stardock, please think about this. And EVEN IF you didn't completely remove the gold/exp awarded from killing an AI, you could at least cut it by 3/4 or something. Please consider this because at the moment, if a player drops early in the game, it's almost futile to even keep trying. If a player drops late in the game when everyone is higher
GpG and stardock wanted to make a game for casual games, because of no real team games and clan support we got a different thing like dota now. Demigod is one of the games that is most unforgiving for casual gamers who waste peoples times in games. Casual gamers will get yelled at every game they mess up and will leave demigod after some games of frustration. Same with other medium players who dont have premade teams and get steamrolled every game . If you dont have a good tea
[quote who="woppin" reply="10" id="2263655"]UI mods are limited by what information is exposed by the UI interfaces, so cheating is unlikely. Retro there is a lot of balance discussion all over the forums and it seems to be noticed, eg Erebus nerf and HoL changes. The problem is that if you make a thread about balance you aren't guarunteed to get responses from experienced players, you may only get opinions from people who haven't been playing very long which makes the discussion l
I dont think UI mods are a good idea... They will open a lot of cheating possibilities and could mean the end of the game. All kinds of Mods should only be allowed if both players agree on it.
