Biggest Issue?

from Demigod Forums

So far from what I've seen, the biggest issue with the game (aside from small connection issues still) is players dropping. I have yet to play in a game where all players stayed until the end. In fact, most of the time at least one of the people will quit the first time they die. How can this be allowed? I know it replaces the person with an AI (which is actually near useless, and potentially a detriment), but shouldn't there be some penalty to just dropping whenever a game starts going poorly? Or am I missing some punishment that I don't see?

You get no favour if you quit, but seeing as the losing team usually gets only 10 favour, and the winning team can often average over 100, this isn't a big penalty at all.

 

There are lots of reasons people quit before the game is up.  Honestly, the rage-quitters are annoying and immature.  Play singleplayer if you cannot live with yourself if you're on the losing end of first blood.  For my part, my ISP drops me frequently when I have a P2P application going.  Makes it very hard to play demigod :-(

The biggest issue in my books: AFKers

Twice today I've started a panth match and theres teammates just not doing anything at all just starting at the starting spot the whole game leaching.. Is there any way to time out these players it's so damn annoying to be an uneven numbered fight.

At least droppers get replaced by AI
