Reply to Have any behind the scenes changes affected the games stability? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I played the beta update, yesterday, for hours, and there were no problems whatsoever. Suddenly, from 10:15 to 10:30 PM (Eastern), I could not enter a game anymore. I got 2 debug-error windows in a row! I exited the game programme, and when I wanted to log-in back, I was not able to be identified. I exited the programme and tried again. That time, I could log in, but trying to join a game got me another debug-error window. Strange beta update : I

Reply to What is acceptable ping? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I'm no expert on ping & lag, but I've participated in many games where all the pings were good & green, below 150 MS, during the game setup, and then there was lag during the game itself. Yesterday evening, I participated in a game where most pings were near 200 MS, and there was no significant lag : just a few, brief pauses. Some gamers just won't play with people with a ping above 150 MS. I believe that there are other factors to consider : such as multitasking &

Reply to Would you like lag with that, sir? in Demigod Stardock Forums

[quote who="astrath" reply="1" id="2183331"] Lag depends on how many people are playing and how far apart the players in question are. If you've got a 3v3 with players from all over the world, you're going to get lag no matter what. [/quote] I do not wish to contradict you, by abusive generalization, based on one single example -- especially since I'm no expert on "lag". But this situation occurred to me, yesterday evening, playing the beta update. <p

That one, last evening, stretched-on for 98 minutes, at normal speed : http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/331449/player/11664/ It was originally a 4 v 4. Everything looked great in the game-setup lobby : all 8 green pings -- nobody above 175 ms, and most below 100. One player of my team8 dropped out during the loading of the game : we had to start with a normal A.I. But the game lingered on as a stalemate. Then, another

Reply to Why did I pay for a beta? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I was in the Beta, on & off (alternating with my dad), from the very start, 8 months ago. My dad ("CyberMage") and I were very happy, then : the game had a lot of features from the start, and it never once crashed. (The release version has crashed 5 times, in April, with debug-error windows popping up -- since we play the game in a window.) Even though we were very happy with the whole Beta process, we believed that the game was not ready to be released in April.<

Reply to Dont understand ranking stats in Demigod Demigod Forums

I've been in contact with the Stardock employee "Bara" about the problem of the ranking stats not being correctly updated. It is a known issue, which has not yet been solved. Take my case, for example. If you do a search on the player "Sorceresss", you will learn that she only played ONE game and has a 0W / 1L record. But if you go to that player's "Games List", she is credited with 21 games. And according to me, even that list is incomplete, because, at the v

Well ... you're asking the best person around. Brad Wardell is an expert A.I. designer & programmer, as illustrated by his work in the 2 recent Galactic Civilzations series. Some people forget that he's not "just" the (all powerful) CEO of Stardock and a regular forum star (as "Frogboy" and "Draginol"), and that he is, first & foremost, a genius in A.I. design & coding. But ... I think he was not very much involved i

[quote who="Takkik" reply="1" id="2176006"] Most people play fire (as myself) because they want lot of kills and underestimate the power of supports skills in a good team.
