Almost purchased....

..til I read this forum :(

from Demigod Forums

I am a dota player. Was looking for something a bit more in depth. I heard about your game and youtube'd it. Seemed fun. So I stopped on over here looking for a demo.

What? No Demo? Hmmm. Went on over to gamespot...   no demo because there's no single player. OK, I can deal with that, as long as there's plenty of human players...

Went to your forum here and I see threads like "No one online."  That's a problem. And there appears to be network issues since beta, alleged by the members here.

 

:waaaa: ------------

 

Everyone seems to know this already. Just wanted to let you know I would have digitally purchased the product if I could jump into games with others without going through the problems here. I won't pirate your game; I just won't play it. If I remember to check back sometime, I hope to join the demigod war with you folks.

There are network issues, such that 4v4 and 5v5 can be quite difficult to get going and the game flat out doesn't work for a number of players.  It hasn't been fixed yet, but they claim a fix is in the pipeline.

Try to remember the game for a month and come back later, see if it working properly.

And whatever review your read them mentioned no single player has got it very wrong. There is both Tournament and Skirmish modes available in SP, and coupled with Nightmare AI can be veryy challenging.

Of course the focus and primary intent of the game is the MP, but SP is there and plays fine.

It won't be a month. There is patch to be released immanently to fix the disconnections and a proxy server patch just days away.

Yeah custom games 3v3 work fine and dandy.  You can even get them going really fast compared to when the game launched.  My biggest beef is in the skirmish where it pairs 2v1.  It seems to never want to do more than 2v2 ever which is annoying especially if it picks the larger maps. 

This game is a blast to play and when we see the day where 4v4 and 5v5 are the normal and being able to set one up in a few minutes this game is going to shine big time.  Lets just hope it happens pretty soon :D .
