i'd like pantheon to go, because i dont like being stuck on one side for a week or so. well, i actually play pantheon more often because everyone plays it and the match making works faster with more people.

generally i think the matchmaking needs to be worked on. i'd rather play no game at all than playing 3 human vs. 1 human and 2 ai.

imo not every disconnect should count as a loss. when theres a game with the other side having 3 humans and i got 2 ais, then its not even worth playing. they'd get filthy rich by killing the ais and i had no chance. its not fun for them either and no one ever complained when i told them "sorry, not worth playing with ai, ill go". i wouldnt complain if someone else did that and i wouldnt want it to be a win. because it aint one.

Skirmish mode can be removed!

What are we talking here about exactly?

Leaving before the game actually starts, means in the connection screen?

That at least what I predict what the "hyper-competitive people" do when they don't see their friends name.

Or are we talking simply about ragequiters? (second sentence sounds clearly like the ragequitting issue).

Only if pantheon restarts immediately..in fact, just do that anyway.  it's pointless to have it down for days at a time.

FYI people quit matches because they think they will lose. I dont see why this would make them stop quiting if they think they will lose by staying anyways.

The problem is they should not have been matched up with the player they dont want to play with in the first place. So imo match filter options should be put in place to state I dont want to play with anyone below x rank or x ping, etc. This way people get the matches they want. In custom games I think rank filtering should be available as well. As in your rank is too low to join this game, etc.

if you keep putting AI players in pantheon, people will keep disconnecting.

so penalizing first minute disconnects doesnt really work there, unless the game is guaranteed not to START with AI's. Thats not to say that an AI wont take over if someone quits, that should still work the same. I'm just annoyed when there is a team of 3 humans playing vs 1 human and 2 ai. I havent seen a game of a different format in pantheon for a very long time. Sometimes 2hum vs 1hum 1 ai.

once had a 1h1ai vs 1h1ai. that was ok. that way you have to support your ai mate. but its not always fair since regulus ai seems to flee more often than other dgs which prevents him from feeding the enemy with money by being killend many times.

so imo you should really stop putting ai players in pantheon games.

the problem i see with filters is: there are just not enough players! if you implement a filtersystem with only a few options there wont be games anymore since everyone will get filtered out.

From the journal "Demigod builds" posted by Istari from Stardock

On other Stardock games, public betas are part of the process for major updates. However, on Demigod, when this was tried, the community complained about "splitting the MP community" so this was not done.

And thats our answer:

Pls cry another way dude, reading your lines is embrassing - just think about the people which helped you to fix so many issuses from the beginning, willing to let demigod move into a right direction, but nothing happens only empty words - these people are pissed off and btw. completely rightly.

A small example why players can only laugh about some offis like frogboy - it was spoken from new heroes, oh how fantastically and well they look etc and this guy called frogboy really ventures to say, that he takes care getting some screenshots as soon as possible, omg and it takes weeks - plas guys dont take the piss out of us - WE QUIT
