The difference between DoW2 and Demigod is the number of players connected to each other in a game. Demigod is frequently at least 2v2 or 3v3. I suspect DoW2 is frequently 1v1. Frogboy mentioned that opting for P2P was to meet the challenge of reducing response time between players.

They are still working to improve the connectivity. Regarding the apparently numerous unanswered threads on connectivity, I think the dev journals pretty much gives a rather good picture of the state of things. I think it's unrealistic to expect them to answer so many threads. I'm sure they do take note, and collectively answer them in their dev journals.

Also, regarding your complain with them only answering the "easy to answer" threads. How differently do you expect them to behave? I understand that you're immensely frustrated, so am I. Having so many SG players not be able to connect online leaves those that can with a less than optimal pool to play with. However, I can deeply appreciate the problems the devs are facing and no matter how much we complain, it still takes them time to do their job to patch up the game.

Sure, they did wrong, they've clearly learnt their lesson. Now we have to be realistic in expecting a fix. Software engineering simply cannot be rushed and they're already rushing their fixes. It's hard to ask of paying consumers, but right now, the best we can do is just hang on there and let them do their thing.

If Impulse simply cannot work, I would even opt to try Game Ranger with the guys here, or Hamachi. What do you guys think?

I have given some consideration to Game Ranger, but apparently few legit Demigod purchasers actually use Game Ranger. If that's true, that could be a problem.

This post caught my eye. I'll let you guess who made the post It's quite amazing to see such candour. But the acid test is whether (and when) Demigod works the way its supposed to.

Yup so they will always be one step slower.

Alternatively i will grab a copy of the not so legal copy and play on GR.

Some where under the terms and con i think there is one that says we can make one copy for keeping...

Actually, what I was proposing is to simply organise games with each other through game ranger if Impulse really can't work. We can simply post here an arranged time slot to meet up online and just play.

CitizenKane, no prizes for guessing who posted that. I can certainly understand his frustration too. To me, the game (when we can get a game going) is just so fun it almost feels like the frustration was worth it. I can only imagine being able to get that level of enjoyment in the future much more easily, when it all works out.

Sad to see you go. Can't say I blame you at all. Hope the fixes will be done in future.

In the meantime stick with the masses and go play .A

Beta version of 6.60 has already leaked on the net and the changes are COOL! You are assured of a 5v5 match everytime with no lag.. and in Garena, there aint as many rage quitters as you find in Demigod.

Pardon me for double posting.

Isn't the 2Wire a router itself? How can you connect a router to a router? Possible? And how do you do the bridging?

Depending on the situation, I MIGHT buy the router to fix Demigod's issues. But if it isn't a confirm fix, then I'm not going to spend even MORE money on something that isn't working.

Whats more of a crime is that my 2Wire 2701HGV-E works perfectly fine for EVERYTHING ELSE.

Has the latest update made any improvements to those with Singnet?

Do you mean League of Legends? I'm not sure if I know of any MMO DotA. What's the name of this game you've mentioned. Also, MMO DotA is kind of like an oxymoron. The whole idea of DotA is it's non-persistence, requiring players to rebuild their characters according to the current game.

EDIT:

I just saw this post from the link you've given. Please give it a try Kane. Perhaps it would work now.

Very very surprisingly, the 'miracle' patch FINALLY CAME. Yes yes, the latest patch solved all my problems. Now the only problem left is to get more friends to play. My ping to US players always causes me to get kicked. Oh well. And also, in-game, the game is QUITE choppy for me, although it IS definitely awesome to be able to play FINALLY.

Someone notice Seeker2012 that the game FINALLY works. THE MIRACLE PATCH. ALL HAIL THE MIRACLE PATCH!

Hi SyDaemon - yes I was referring to League of Legends. (I stand corrected - it's a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA)) - Im no sure about the mechanics of whether that is p2p or server hosted or both though.

I'm not online much these days - apart from work, I don't seem to see many Singapore hosted games (and Panthenon just ended). I'll see how things pan out - but I'm already keeping an eye on ... Hello Kitty Online !

I used to add every SG player I find to my friends list but stopped after I noticed the apparent uselessness of in-game private messaging.

Here's what I propose:

All Singaporean players, when you log in, please visit the Chat window and type:

/channel singapore

This will take you to #singapore.

If the channel hasn't already been created, the first attempt to go to #singapore will create it.

From there, if all Singaporean players enter #singapore, we would at least be able to chat with all online Singaporean players at once. We would be able to ask each other to join our SG games.

The private channel handling is still a little flaky, so you might appear alone in the channel or the channel might appear empty. Just have faith and remain there anyway.
