Reply to The dumbest thing in this community is the concept of ragequitting in Demigod Demigod Forums

people call other people words like ragequitter, because the ragequitters abandon their team without their team's consent. random teams are balls, and many times, the ragequitter is the person who is feeding or doing something stupid . they leave because they did badly, unintentionally usually, and then they ruin the game further by leaving. again, random teams are balls.

1. favor point increase is good 2. concession is good as long as they get a loss. at the very least, removing BOTs from player games is needed. i don't think bots should appear in any player games, as inexperienced players can just play single player skirmish, tournament, or custom games if they want easy practice. 3. smart quitting is good. 4. the option to have a random demigod would be fun. alternatively, a mode of play that

Reply to Stats and Rage Quitting in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

a great solution for ragequititng is (1) giving players incentive to win (like a well-developed ladder) in order to achieve a legitimate record, (2) have a matchmaking system that matches up based on equal skill levels (as best as possible), (3) letting players get organized as best as possible within your game you (SD & GPG) want a competitive game, so you should take hints from the successes and failures of those before you (guild wars, wc3, dow2, even wow arena). in WC3's

Reply to Is back-dooring considered cheating? in Demigod Demigod Forums

back-dooring isn't considered cheating in DotA by the leagues except under certain circumstances (TDA, for example, has a few limitations on BD'ing). the only people who consider it wholely "illegal" are PUBs, and anyone familiar with official rules just laughs and keeps on doing it (unless they're losing because of it). anyway, BD'ing is fine in demigod. it isn't cheating. it isn't exploiting. the game clearly allows and even encourages (cap locks, siege abili

Reply to To all the ignorant Americans. in Demigod Demigod Forums

every 250+ ping player i've let into my games has caused major problems. most recently, i let two 250+ ping people stay in my 5v5. no one's SIM speed was bad, but the pings were a bit high so the game lagged and was almost unplayable. eventually one of them dropped, and a desync occurred. sorry, based on experience, i'm just going to kick people with over 200ms, because enough uncontrollable stuff coalesces to ruin this game. a host might as well control the lag.

Reply to Conference for those who think the game is imbalanced in Demigod Demigod Forums

with erebus's bite nerfed, nothing else about the demigods stands out to me as overpowered. some abilities do seem too weak. - QoT offensive spells, especially uproot, are not good. it feels like half of this hero's ability tree is very underdeveloped - i never see UB's weapon damage buff used and can't say i would ever get it early or mid-game. - more synergy should be given to sedna and erebus to encourage use of their minion abilities more frequent

Reply to Late Thursday connectivity update verdicts in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

the game post thursday patch is only a little bit better. it's better in that people get into the lobby faster and some of my friends are having much less problems connecting to others. 3v3: problems occur in the lobby but are solved in short time. 4v4 and 5v5 are serious headaches. it's like trying to solve a game of clue when trying to weed out who is causing problems. it then becomes a card game after i've figured out who can't see who and trying to priori

Unjustified branding and subsequent kicking out of a game is unacceptable.[/quote] and people don't get kicked for those reasons, most of the time. people mostly get kicked for douchebaggery. the second most common reason is friends making room for each other, which still requires 3 votes if the vote truly is arbitrary, and that plays a little into why valve is adding a Looking4Four matchmaking system

i find it funny that people are dismissing the idea of a banlist. in practice, they only work under certain circumstances, but as an idea, it's a way for the community to regulate itself better in the face of the chaotic multiplayer system that is custom game lobbies. if i'm forced to use the custom games list for a reliably good game, then stardock certainly has given me no option save to avoid, from experience, certain players that are known to leave or, in some other way, [b]in

VoIP is a good idea for games like this. i don't know why the game doesn't have a ping-the-map feature, either. to the OP, everyone gets mad, but abandoning your team for your reasons is lame and socially retarded. reminds of people in DotA that would leave or feed in order to get back at an ally.

incentives to be constructive and the ability for players to avoid certain people is probably best. one issue i take with blizzard, for example, is that they beg for only constructive posts. however, constructive posts take work, and they (blizzard) give literally no worthwhile incentive for gamers to do anything but do what any disatisfied customer with easy communication would do - complain. this is one reason for the WoW forums being trash. as for moderation by it
