Things that need to be fixed/added into the game

I figured it might be a good idea to get a post going where everybody can consolidate their suggestions for things that currently need to be fixed and what they would like to see be added into the game in the near future. Hopefully, if we can keep this post on topic and not have a huge troll/flame/rant fest maybe an Admin can sticky the post and update it with the things they have or are fixing and the things they are currently looking at adding into the game. Anyway, here is my list that I have come up with from playing games of Demigod and talking to people in the community:

1. Connection Issues

 -Obviously, as we all know, most of the community is having problems connecting to other people and getting disconnected from games. We also know that the people at Stardock are working their butt's off to get a fix out by the end of this week (proxy servers). This issue might be fixed by the end of the week and then hopefully only minor tweaking to the system will be needed to have most of the community's issues with this problem fixed.

2. Performance Issues

 -As it seems right now, 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 play pretty much stutter free if everybody has a decent comp and their ping is below 200. 4v4 can be relatively lag free if everybody has somewhat of a higher end comp with a good connection. However, 5v5 seems almost impossible to play right now because unless everybody in the game has a high end comp and a good connection, the game will stutter horribly is is close to being unplayable. It seems that Demigod is using up may too many resources, so hopefully they can tweak that in an upcoming patch here sometime soon.

3. Command Lag

 -More or less, this is when you issue your Demigod a command and he or she just stands there and does nothing. Also, the pathing needs to be tweaked because sometimes your Demigod will just run into the corner of the pathway or a building and just keep running in place when you issue him or her a command to move somewhere. Command lag becomes extremely worse in a game where there is some lag present. Sometimes I have to issue a command 3 or 4 times before my Demigod will execute the given command.

4. Remove Bots from Pantheon

 -I don't think I need to explain this one. I believe that Frogboy said they were working on taking bots out of Pantheon this week, so hopefully by the end of the week they will be gone.

The next section will be for things that I would like to see added into Demigod in the near future:

1. Arranged Teams for Pantheon

 - Many people I have spoken to would really like to see arranged teams added to Pantheon as soon as possible. I think Frogboy said they would be working on adding this in in the future.

2. Clan/Guild support

 - I believe that Clans/Guilds are a big part of any game. They are like a mini community inside the larger community. They can also add a very competitive side to games through Clan tournaments and sponsored events. I also think Frogboy has said they were planning on adding this in sometime in the near future.

3. Lobby/Chat Channels

 - For anybody who has played on Battle.net, they have main lobbies that people are entered in to as soon as they log on to multiplayer. Battle.net also gives the players the ability to setup their own private channels that can be passworded and moderated, which works very good for clans or just groups of friends who want their own channel to chat in. I know that Impulse has a chat and all that, but I think it would be really nice for Demigod to have its own in-game Lobby and channels.

These are my main fixes/additions that I would like to see happen in the near future. Of course I want Stardock to balance the game out and add new demigods and all that good stuff, but I feel that these things that I have stated above should be top priority before all of the other good things. Feel free to comment and add your own suggestions, that's what I want this post to be for. Thanks guys.

P.S sorry for the horizontal ruler...I accidentally put it in the wrong place
