trolls in forums

oh Lordy; how many fecking troll threads on the Demigod forums?



couple that by the sheer number of repeated threads;

-ve favor,
-ve favor,
can't connect because noob router,
-ve favor,
can't connect because noob router,
can't connect because noob router,
why does my Celeron lag the game,
-va favor,
i wanna refund: WHINGE!

i swear i can do a better job of looking after that place; all by myself!|||Trolls are just like death and taxes.. an inevitability of life.|||BulletMagnet|||Yeah, same thing for me. I can play fine at home with an IPCop router, but I can't play in my home in vienna with a Zyxel Modemrouter, even when directly connected to the internet. For entirely unknown reasons I can't connect to the NAT facilitator.





In the list above, only the refund type thread may be made for trolling. The other ones are valid or simply whine threads. But not troll threads.|||if you think this is bad you should check out the Total War forums for the new release, Empire: Total War. The game is severely broken, much worse then demigod.|||BulletMagnet|||Well at least they're working on it. It seems to be getting better with each patch.|||Usling2|||Usling2 is being serious? i thought he was quoting some tool on the SD forums who had a 100mb line.



...oh wait, maybe that is Usling2.



well, have you thought, in your infinite wisdom Usling2, that the other people DO NOT have 100mb lines, and DO have routers?



stop being so egocentric.|||BulletMagnet|||RMDShadow|||RMDShadow|||BulletMagnet|||The Devs already know. There was an announcement that they were working on fixing the netcode approximately 24 hours after launch. They rebuilt nearly the entire online system less than two days after launch.



You gain absolutely nothing by complaining because what you are complaining about is currently being worked on, it's happening, they know, they're doing it, they've been doing it pretty much since day one. All you do when you once again bring up the netcode issues is piss everyone off.|||@Phoenix: Usling is just venting some frustration. Don't hate him for that. I cant play online either atm and maybe you would feel different if you couldnt either...



@Usling: Youve seen the timeline. I believe Frogboy honestly though they had fixed the problem in beta 3 and there would be only a small percentage of people with connection problems. They had no reason to believe different from what I hear.



The day-0 patch was going to improve the netcode even more. Then suddenly all hell broke loose and they tried to contain the problems as good as possible. But they had no idea what sh!t storm was ahead of them. It was an honest mistake and they have been working very hard to fix it as soon as possible.



Did they make mistakes and false assumtion? Hell yeah! Maybe it would have been better to make beta 3 an open beta, cant hurt for an MMO. But they are only human and some of the problems only show their ugly head under real stress conditions and not in a simulated environment.



I work in the IT department of my university. Thankfully I dont have to keep the network up and running. I know however that soometimes stuff happens that you simply cant predict. You make a plan, a plan B and run test and suddenly the whole thing blows up in your face. It happens.



But take a look at how they deal with the prooblem: The CEO gives us daily feedback on the situation, they worked through the weekend and late. They are not blaming others or the pirates or sun flares, they are accepting the responsibility and are fixing it. How many other publishers do that?



Have you ever even heard THQ or another publisher giving you status reports on their progress and saying they are to blame and sorry, we will fix it right now?



I think they deserve a chance to fix it and Im willing to give them some time and the benefit of the doubt. Soon the proxies will go up and I think another beta patch release is scheduled for later today (Thursday). Lets see how that works out before we start yelling crucifiction. :p|||Phoenix, i don't care what you say. I bought a game that doesn't work, i have all reason in the world to be irritated. I have, however, not written a single post about it on stardock forums because i know devs already know. I just wrote an answer here to make you blind fanboys understand people that are having problems. Just because you don't have any doesn't mean others don't. Complaining about people having problems when the game is flawed (in it's current state) is just stupid.



If you dislike posts like this then you should complain about the whole thread, which includes the maker of it.|||/BulletMagnet shakes hands with PheonixIV.



another successful trolling. GJ.|||Why thankyou.





Usling, we know the game has problems. I can't think of anyone who will try to tell you that it doesn't. Hell i havn't even played the game over Impulse yet due to connectivity issues.



I'm not complaining about you having problems, i'm telling you to shut up, we know you have problems, you're not telling us anything we don't already know, your net contribution to the conversation has been exactly zero.







If somone came up to you and started informing you about wonderful facts like the sky being blue and people needing food to live, you'd probably be in a similar position to where i am now, except with far less trollery. You saying "Oh Demigod's netcode is bad and the game has serious connectivity issues" is like me wandering over to Bullet and going "Hey Bullet, did you know the Sky is Blue?"
