Let me start this post off by saying I have played more then 300 matches in demigod and I will continue to play this game. At least for one more month unless you take heed to my post and actually do something. No this is not a troll post it’s an honest post about the state of the game and what needs to be fixed.
Now with that said this game is getting extremely frustrating especially when it comes to finding a game/match to play when I first started it would take tops 10 mins to get a full custom game up and going, then if someone dropped or lagged out didn’t matter much cause in max 10min you had another game up and going. Now when you make a game (at least for me and the people I have been playing with) we make a game. Then we sit for 20min at least sometimes 30min. Great now people are in the game lobby and ready to go, so you hit the launch key and someone freezes during launch and is force dropped. So remake game and wait 20 or 30min. Ok so you get in the game, no drops (sigh of relief) but then oh no! Someone has a really bad ping or sim speed that was different from the lobby, time to re-host. So now you have been sitting in the game lobby for about 1 hour maybe 2 and you go to launch a game. No Drops. No Lag. Awesome. Half way through the game you get a "Game state Error" and game is closed. Wonderful so I got 2 hours of lobby sitting and maybe 20min of play time, and now it’s time to go to work. Awesome!!!
So GPG / Stardock before you EVEN CONSIDER releasing new demigods shift your attention to the bugs in the game that are forcing your players to quit. Here is a list of these bugs since the devs you have are obviously too retarded to see these bugs and fix them:
1. Game-state Errors
2. Game Lobby Pings to display proper pings.
3. Display sim speed in game lobby.
4. FIX THE PATHING.
5. Targeting errors that take place with general demigods. (I.e. oak spinning in circles hitting creeps and minions and not the demigod target, or stopping to hit a tower while chasseing a almost dead demigod)
6. Better minion control options.
7. Team auto-matching.
8. Pantheon Auto matching
9. Skrimish Auto matching.
10. AI taking place of real players. (As I know you already have a solution for this per frogboy so do a *******in hot fix already)
11. Rook tower stack bug.
12. The ladder ranking system
13. Item fixes (and just don’t remove them from the game. actually fix them.)
Yes, you heard me right. Everything on this list should be fixed before you spend time and effort into releasing more demigods that cause more bugs and balance issues then there already are. Fix what you have then make new content, Don’t make new content to make people happy for a day or two but then they realize that you added bugs or unbalanced the game then force us to wait 2-3 months for another patch that won’t even address what is messed up.
