Where is the multiplayer fix?

After port-forwarding and all the other bs needed to have a chance at getting into a match, it's still a crap-shoot.

SD,  this is what my multiplayer experience consists of atm.

Log in.

Try Pantheon.

Sit for 10 minutes.

Some nub can't connect to everyone.

Cancel out.

Try again.

Sit for 15 minutes.

Same crap.

Watch as people drop off connect list.

GTFO of pantheon, attempt custom games.

Join game.

sit for 5 minutes while everyone connects.

enter lobby.

pings look ok, no yellow numbers -- cross fingers.

game starts

inevitable announcement that so-and-so has dropped.

check score, other players still in

start to play

game locks up

another player has been dropped

keep playing for another 5 minutes

2 more players have been dropped

quit out, as now the only opponent is AI

rinse, repeat.

 

 

Does this sound fun to you?  Seriously. 

How can you ship a hybrid RTS, by a major rts dev house with non-functioning multiplayer?  It's frigging consumer abuse.

Demigod has, by far, the most atrocious online experience I've encountered in YEARS.  This stuff isn't suppost to happen anymore, I feel like I'm gaming in the 90's!

Good luck, God Speed, I'll still buy your products, blah blah, fix the damn game.
