Play custom games and just turn favor off for now, or recommend that the host does - most people don't care especially now given most of the time they start with none. It isn't a low priority if you watch the day 7 movie they did in the journal section they talk about it a bit.

I don't think favor is going to be important after just a few games of play, and it certainly won't be a "grind" to get. It won't affect rage quitters one way or another.

Favor items are usually part of my builds.  In beta I had access to all favor items and it was a lot of fun to have a variety of choices at the start of the game.  Hopefully the favor item problem gets fixed soon.

I would like the favour thing fixed, kinda removes the point playign completely pointless skirmish amtches and other rubbish when the pantheon is down.

The thing with favour is really this:

It allows you to modify the base template of different heroes somewhat and gives them different edges/bonuses that otherside cannot see or predict... usually. This gives each differently setup demigod at least in theory a refreshing idea of being unique in earlygame. Later in the game with upgrades the earlygame bonuses really dosnt matter much.

I can understand the focus on connectivty issues, its still so full of it that im glad its being focused on. I got not much problems in connecting to games, but reasonably often client crashes under me in given multiplayer games or simply has a 'hiccup' and seems to disconnect me from other players. Yet its kinda... annoying to have a 'favour' that just isnt working at all.

I also like the idea of favor, like someone else in the thread said earlier it just adds another dimension of depth to your build/strategy. However for the time being I am also hosting games with favor turned off, at least until its fixed. I've started far too many games with no favor points while my opponents have started off with charms of life or blood of fallen. Late game, the items don't matter very much, but early game, they give you an exponential edge over other demigods.

For fairness, just turn off favor points in your custom games for now. Hopefully they will fix the issue before the next pantheon starts.

Favor borking is annoying.

Though it was still funny seeing the entire opposite team ragequit saying I got fed when I had no favor items.

The file is games.pref and is in your Demigod folder under My Documents/Games/Gas Powered Games/

Sorry again but what is the line you need to change to have this extra favor ? Tried to change the "points" decimal but didnot work at all..
