[quote who="ZehDon" reply="8" id="2313428"] Hardly. Stardock's lack of experience with Multiplayer titles is to blame for the entire connectivity problem we saw at launch. However, they stepped up and corrected this issue. Problem solved. [/quote] While connectivity may be much improved from launch (ie not working), it is not nearly "Problem solved". How often do you get a 5v5 up and running smoothly?

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="8" id="2313428"]A slight correction: Stardock did not fund Demgiod, Gas Powered Games basically self funded Demigod. [/quote] What I took from that link was that Stardock took over the project at some point, provided the capital to finish development, provided the capital to market and distribute the game, put their name on the box, took on the customer service and support, and gets a fat share of the proceed

Reply to A Formal Apology to Frogboy in Demigod Demigod Forums

ZehDon.. what drives your rabid and angry positivity for this game? You remind me of a religious zealot who wants to slaughter anyone who doesn't want to share their heaven with them. A publisher is ultimately responsible for the game. They finance the development. They supervise the development process. They call the shots. How many times have you seen good publishers swap dev teams on a project? Blizzard moved StarCraft Ghost to different dev studios twice before canning t

Hell, most CEO's couldnt give a rats ass what you say let alone read the crap you post and deffenitatly wouldnt give you the time of day to reply.

Reply to Sticking With Stardock in Demigod Demigod Forums

Regardless of any other arguments, having the CEO of a company having these irrational emotion-driven decisions seems ridiculous, immature, and unprofessional. The state of delivery of software projects (and this extends beyond gaming) sucks for everyone involved right now. A company that builds to spec spends just as much resources defining what they will deliver to a client, and the client still doesn't understand/wants more. If someone pushes and they get something extra for free,

Umm.. sorry I am such a noob - I expected a game I purchased to work. If I had as much experience as you stardock fanboys then I would know then I was just forking over money for something that shouldn't be actually expected to perform. As the game developer, Stardock made a decision between building code in-house or saving money/time by buying a 3rd party solution. Part of that decision is an understanding that the 3rd party code is out of your control and if you run into issues

[quote who="ifrite" reply="3" id="2217847"]Personally I think thats taking advantage of Stardock's return policy. The game is solid as you said, if you can't deal with some growing pains then I suggest going to console games. [/quote] This is exactly what the return policy is for! Returns aren't allowed because you personally don't find the game to be enjoyable, they are allowed when you can't even play the frickin game to find out if you like it or not!

Reply to Killing a Demigod nets too much gold in Demigod Demigod Forums

I agree that something needs to be eased up when dying early. An early death sets you so far behind that it is very difficult to recover from it. Not only does the enemy now have better items, but the time you are sitting on the sideline (this includes getting yourself back to the action) can often put you a couple levels behind. The makes you the automatic focus target from the enemy team, pretty much eliminating you from ever getting back into the action. It is true that in a tradit
