[quote who="kolonel_klink" reply="18" id="2508583"]In fact, I am a man of my word. If you do decide to create such a pack, I can guarantee that I will be the first man there to put my money where my mouth is and pre-order it the moment it's available. Yet, as you clearly stated in the other thread Brad, you have no will nor desire to create an expansion pack, and as such, I have no will nor desire to fund future projects.[/quote]This. @Brad; i'm dissapointed that you nuked that oth

[quote who="synnworld" reply="67" id="2507921"]Fan boy where? I can tell you right now you aren't talking about me. Demigod was the very first product distributed by Stardock that I have ever bought. Hell if it wasn't for Demigod then I wouldn't know Stordock even existed, or gas powered games for that fact. So fan boy I am not, but tired of hearing the same shit from all you LoL lovers saying how it is so better then demigod. News flash; we don't give a damn. Last time I checked the big word

[quote]replace "Stardock" with "GPG" and you got yourself a thread [/quote]Done. Thanks for the clarification. [quote]No. This is a stupid bug(lobby crash) but it's not that big of a deal. If you just remeber to not open close slots too much.[/quote]I get lobby crashes too but the stack trace posted here was the one spat in my face upon my hard earned win, just before or at the victory screen.

Demifail, the unfinished product in Demigod Demigod Forums

Ok stardock / GPG, here is the deal. This game has been out for nearly a year now and yet still plays with the stabillity of a beta in its embroynic stage. The networking layer and stability of the game overall was so atrocious upon release (being proxied with 500 ms ping to players in the same CITY as me, exceedingly high crashes) that I gave this game a break for 6 months waiting for issues to be resolved. I have come back last month (December 2009) to a patched game that

SUPPORT: Demigod wont launch in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

I downloaded and installed demifail on my computer. Double clicking on the exe or on the application in impulse results in the demigod simply failing to start up. I have verified this through windows task manager: On double clicking the exe it appears in the task manager for a split second and then dissapears. No crashes, no exceptions, no stacktrace, nothing. I am running windows xp, not using webcam or skype or commodo and my drivers are up to date. On very r

Reply to Bans , Banning, You Are Banned, We Need A Banlist in Demigod Demigod Forums

to all the "no we don't need banlists" people - what are you afraid of? Are you guys RQ'ers? Even if someone bans you for being a noob, his banlist would be specific to HIM which is just as well coz you would not want to play with that idiot again anyway. So whats wrong with giving legitimate people the option to make sure they have a banlist that ensures they do not play a game with game spoilers?

[quote who="pseudomelon" reply="24" id="2248559"]Err, DotA doesn't do well at all, regardless of a banlist. Community = terrible, getting into a game with people of the proper skill level = terrible. The damn thing is literally unplayable if you aren't in a clan. As we can see from DotA, a banlist will do nothing against the ever-streaming tide of laggers, leavers, and afkers who knock at your door. I'll wave to you next time I see you on the beach with a teacup, trying to drain the ocean.[/q

Banlists are definitely needed, or at the least some kind of ignore list. Demigod has neither. By the way, I banned you for being an immature moron. Don't worry, you won't be the first person to be banned just because someone is a huge dick. See what I mean? Banlist is complete

I am running demi on a very high end PC (settings are on max with a 1920 x 1080 resolution). The FPS is perfect and I never see any delays in animations.

I was gonna bitch about how demi is lacking them coz suddenly a DG would appear in front of me while I am attempting to capture a flag.

I have also experienced lobby crashes yesterday. The quality of the programmers coding is such that you would have thought they were on crack when making the fixes. Yet, having worked in the games industry, I don't even blame them. The games industry is about slave driving to the max; game programmers are the most overworked, underpayed software programmers that you will find. And I say this in retrospect, having worked in the telco, cartographic, financial, gaming and
