High Priority Target

Ah, I didn't realise this was a bug - went to play some panth yesterday, saw this sign, went to play customs instead.

To all who don't already know:

you can see the actual server statistics here: http://www.demigodthegame.com/opengames.asp

including skirmish + pantheon queues at the top

Sad what connectivity/p2p/lag has done to possibly one of the top 5 games I have EVER played.

I've always managed to get games in Pantheon but if this is detering people from getting into queue I agree it should be fixed ASAP.

I don't know about other people, but the reason why my friends and I stopped playing was the lack of team automatch. 

Are you sure it had nothing to do with the Priest Idol nerf?

But seriously, I would like to see team automatch too. Not only would it be great for the premades but it would actually encourage new players to find friends online. I think this would keep people playing longer, make the game more intersting and help with all the complaints from: 'OMG, THEY ARE PREMADE' to 'THE NOOB DESTROYED MY [###] WINNING STREAK!'

Oh, and when we are making wish list: I want 2 or 3 more good 3v3 maps - please!

I don't care about team automatch. To the point of the post, I agree this is doing more harm then good and, ala Horn of Battle, should be removed until fixed.

The skirmish queue window has been working for me for the last week or so, but the pantheon one is still broken. Part of the problem is people expect a game to start instantly and won't wait for a minute or two to get a decent sized game going.

I played my first Pantheon in a while today.

So the first thing I see are the icon that suggest I have new PM messages. I'm used to them, they are empty and will reappear every 30 seconds or something when I close them. There are only two atm but I don't dare to use the PM system because they might accumulate.

Next thing is that my UB keeps looping his growl until the game starts. It's fun for 20 seconds after that it gets a little annoying. Please send him to a few anger management classes... 

The box in the upper right corner tells me I'm the only one waiting for a game. Now, I do know better because I read the forums but think about the new players. I doubt they will want to wait under these conditions. They will join the first custom game they can find and will probably be stomped badly.

I didn't have to wait long btw, maybe a minute or two - and the matchup looked rather fair. Each team had one player with 200+ games and one more or less new player. Overall a very nice game. Thanks to my teammate Exdio and to Lonous for being a fair and nice opponent!

It was a good game Colonel!

It was going back and forth and was fairly close up until my teammate left the game. ><  I could no longer play up to par due to the RL tears obscuring my vision of the game. Yet again another leaver, why God why?!

I was just about done and was thinking about just ending it, done with life, as another ruined game had ruined my existence. Jessep detected me being on the  edge and talked me thru this rough patch. He saved the game and saved my life. He is a great player and a tremendous human being!

This is something that needs putting right. Also matchmaking and connecting is a bit off as well, so many pantheon games end up with ai in them.

theres a lot of AI games at the moment because not enough people are queuing, because a lot of them think they are the only person in the queue ^^

I'm not sure if this thread is the reason, kudos if it is, but this appears to be fixed.

Pantheon games are now showing the number of people waiting for a match.
