Favor / Achievements Still Broken

Favor points may take a second to update. I never really kept track, but I know if I buy a favor items, it usually takes a game or two before it actually shows up as being "bought"

I gave it 4 hours, only to find that my favor points dropped from 170 to 150.

Achievements and favor are definitely still broken.

they are unfair anyhow.. play with them off.

Alot of the achievements are completed artifically or don't complete at all. Here are 3 for instance Sadena's 400,000 dmg in one game I have never had more than 300,000 dmg in one game and its completed and the kill 25 and 250 demigods with Sadena, bar is full, but the achievements didn't change to indicate completed for both. There are alot of other achievements like this, but I do not have a list written down.

Edits where from just logging in to verify and correct my post. All the above achievements are from mulitplayer and Yes I seen alot more incorrect achievements. Alot of Single player achievements are broken also. These should be easily verified by gpg or stardock's QA team, and this just proves that these were not tested before release. If we really need a complete list let me know and I will provide what I have so far.

I like how I've gotten "Sedna Initiate" about twenty times in a row now...=D

Or how I've gotten about 5 achievements from Regulus even though I don't play as him yet they're achieved. Of course, I didn't get any favor from them.

I'm a Pantheon player, and these bugs really makes the game suck for me.

Personally I don't really give a flip about achievements, and favor-wise I've had my general cape for about a month now and don't feel compelled use my 10'000s of favor points to buy anything else so I don't care much about that either.

Perhaps, but for those of us who have had 150 favor for the last two months this is a more serious issue.

I don't care about achievements either except for the fact that they're supposed to give favor, and don't.

You with your general cape are part of the problem, because you can get that item and it's not possible for me to.

Hm ... na to easy.
Lol.

I have heard some people say this and I would like someone to give a good argument WHY they are unfair. IMO they add a another demension of depth to the game.

Now if the argument is "OMG this is my first day of playing and I have no favor points, all those proz are gonna pwn me"

My response is gonna be "Play like 5 games and you will have enough favor points to buy some good stuff, if you can't do that, then spare my the whinning"

You only need to play like 3 games to have enough for the swift anklet and that's the best most of the time.

Heaven's Wrath and Staff of Renewal are the other 2 good ones and those are assassin only.

I like how you think! ;D

Sigh.

Alright, first off: Pantheon favor points are not toggleable. I like playing Pantheon. Should I quit playing Pantheon because of this issue?

Secondly, regarding the "you only need to play 3 games to get the swift anklet": My favor points do not register. I've been at 150 favor points for about 20 games now. My favor does not increase. My achievements frequently don't register, and when they DO register they DO NOT GIVE FAVOR.

My favorite mode in Demigod is Pantheon, I like the 'faction vs faction' idea, but not being able to accrue favor points is lame and hurts both in custom and Pantheon games.

Suggestions like "just turn them off" do not help.

Thanks.

I am stuck at 560 Favor points again. They WERE working and I progressed to the point where I got enought to get the cloak of plentiful mana (yum for Queen and Torch) I bought it and my favor hasn't advanced since.  I have won / participated in 20ish games since.

Yeah a friend has favor stucked too. He's playing, winning, and not collecting.

Let me give some information about favor points that may shead some light on the subject.

Yes Favor points were broken in previous builds, but there were some major fixes a couple of builds ago that fixed most of the problems with favor points.  So if you havent played much in the last week and are only looking at games from a month ago, then yes, you will see problems.  But going forward Favor points should be working with the exception of a few rules.  Here are some of those rules:

1) A game must last more than 5 minutes for Favor Points to be counted (All game types)

2) You must be connected when the game finishes for Favor Points to be counted (All game types)

3) There must be at least 1 human player on each team for Favor Points to be counted (Only Custom Games)

Hmm, so it's pointless to continue playing a game where the other team have all left?

So the other team can just mass quit at the end to deny you favor points....?

Um, I just played a Pantheon game yesterday that fulfilled all of these criteria: It was a 2v2 with all human players, lasted for about half an hour and I was connected for the whole game and the end as well. My favor went from 170 to 150 total, despite the fact that I WON 105 or so favor points. I checked it immediately after the game, and then again 4 hours later. Both times it was a net LOSS of 20 favor. Clearly this issue is not nearly as fixed as you make it sound.

I have played Pantheon games in the last two days where points did not accrue and the item that I bought did not stay bought for the following game.  This seems to be intermittent though, because points did start accruing and bought items stayed bought.

For me, it's not intermittent. I haven't gotten points once in the past several weeks, no matter how many games I play or when I play them. My favor's been locked at 150ish for a long time.

I don't really care about favor points one way or the other, I already have the only 2 favor items that I will ever use. I like to get the achievements though and since majority of them are broken is really annoying. I mean come on how hard is it to test wether an achievement is working correctly or not. There was a public beta too. This is just another piece of the code that really says Hi i have be pushed to be released way before I was ready....

Yeah well I don't have any useful favor items at the moment. Not a good combination with an inability to gain favor...
