Reply to Why not just put dedicated servers like every other RTS and end our suffering? in Demigod Demigod Forums

So when you don't get through to someone, calling them delerious and "Slow" really helps. I'm done trying to explain this to you. I never played this Rune game and as such can't vouch for or against it and so I discard it. Your rationalizations of why servers work are simply because "It works for FPS!" That's not a reason why it should work. Different games, different necessaties.

[quote who="Nolc" reply="23" id="2147557"]In a Shooter a FPS game only very low ping give you the ability to react extremly fast. only low ping makes it possible to not have people lagging arround and teleporting arround. So low ping and very fast connection is MUST HAVE for all FPS games. in a RTS game a ping of 120 or 150 is not a bad thing.....in counterstrike you extremly rarly see people with a ping above 70 and if they have they bitch arround because of it..

[quote who="Lionel-Richie" reply="14" id="2147471"]Do you mean Dedicated Servers hosted BY Valve and these publishers? I'm going to assume that's what you mean since all of those games DO have people running dedicated servers. If you're not playing on a DedServ you're lagging.[/quote] I mean via the developer. If you mean allowing the consumer to host the servers then I'm all for that, if you want Stardock/GPG to host them, I disagree with that. So long as they add administrative r

[quote who="lemmingjesus" reply="10" id="2147443"]You were doing so well until you said FPS. Try again.[/quote] No source games (Other than L4D) have DedServs, Call of Duty series don't have DedServs, I beleive UT3 has 1 per game mode? The point is dedicated servers are not required nor are they as often as you'd like to believe. They simply need to futz around with the matchmaking and connection code a bit more until it's just right.

Reply to Where is the Demigod guide? in Demigod Demigod Forums

You probably have been reading reviews stating the lack of tutorial in the game. I honestly think it's best to set the AI to easy (Or normal if you're feeling risky) and get your hands dirty. It's the best way to pick things up. The game is extremely straight forward with a lot of depth. Hope you decide to buy it.
