Reply to Planned anti-ragequit measures address the wrong things in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="transitive" reply="1" id="2248595"]i think they honestly just screwed up when they decided to launch Pantheon games without lobbies. the rage quitting thing is just a symptom of that larger problem. without lobbies the players cannot discriminate amongst the games they actually WANT to play and the ones they don't. Pantheon needs lobbies. players need a disconnect rate tracked and made public for everyone to see. that fixes the problem as well as is possible.&nbs

[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="18" id="2249150"]Go ahead and leave and eat your disconnect. I'm not sure why you care so much about it given your lack of concern for the rest of the players in the game.[/quote] If you are directly addressing me, then you should know that I stick around to the end of the game, even when I'm losing, unless for some reason I'm being verbally abused (which is yet to happen in ~40 games). If that was a more general "you," then I think yo

Planned anti-ragequit measures address the wrong things in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think the current plans to address rage-quits will only lead to new problems. If the planned v1.1 changes go ahead, we will see concede button spamming, deliberate feeding, and AFKs sitting by their own citadel. If someone wants to quit a match, they are going to do it. And here's the thing: THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE. The fixes are addressing the wrong things. For my purposes, I'm defining rage-quitting as someone leaving before the winner of the

[quote who="Andianqz" reply="1" id="2247272"] If the developers simply spend some time in losing matches and experience the combination of helplessness, repeated massacring and barrage of putdown and name calling that occur it would be perfectly clear why people leave. The only reason people complain about RQ is because these pathetic saps want live fodder to rape. If you're up 3 levels, control the map and are mopping up, you've won. Why would you be concerned if your opponent sta

Some matches are missing from the record entirely, and not for either of the reasons you list above. I have limited play time, so this is a small sample.

Reply to Rage Quits and v1.1 of Demigod talk in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

I agree that a concede button is basically just going to turn "ragequitters" into "griefers" instead. It is my understanding, though I haven't played in some years, that DOTA was constantly having trouble with leavers as well. I did play quite a bit of WC3 ladder. And you know what "fixed" the leavers problem for me? ARRANGED TEAMS. Obviously, with arranged teams it was never my teammates that would leave, and if an opponent left, then we got the win, they go

[quote who="dgl-DalzK" reply="11" id="2240178"] I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but the single most frustrating part about gameplay is the 'move before casting' bug. I don't doubt that getting this fixed is a priority, but this bug can completely ruin a confrontation with an enemy DG. Please please please have this fixed soon! This is apparently fixed in 1.01 which has been released. Have you updated nad still go the bug? [/quote] You obviously

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="24" id="2238650"] We did an update late last week that resolved some problems with the win/loss count. It should be accurate now. Keep in mind that the numbers are updated once daily at midnight. Bara[/quote] It may indeed count correctly. But a large % of games are still failing to show up under "my games", so the numbers are (sadly) still worthless. I wish I had been tracaking those that were simply missing f

Kyky shows 80 games played, Bronnieman shows 75. You show 35. I know some games (maybe 20%?) are not recording at all. Just by this, I would imagine it is possible you were simply outplayed by someone more experienced. Second, they both have positive records, but nothing so overwhelmingly posititve that it looks suspicious. Lastly, just to check the math, here is a screenshot to prove the feasibility. Note that the total item costs are 10k gold, which is

Stardock is still considered a great company for backing the game up and doing everythign they can to fix it. A company like EA would

Reply to "The archive could not be restored" in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

I had the same issue. I had downloaded it to an achive, and impulse was giving the "archive could not be restored" error. However, for me, the fix was easier than downloading the 8 data files (at ~250 mb each). I simply put the ~8.6mb "demigod installer" into the the same folder as the *.impulse file that my original "download and archive" operation had created. I then ran the installer and after a few minutes worth of decompressing, it had installed j
