With everybody stacked on the Darkness side, Pantheon could take months to reset.

from Demigod Forums

I want it to reset so I can go to the light side (which would likely be less stacked, at least until Occulus) so I can get more panth games in, but even after a week it seems to have gone less than 100,000 points. Oh well, just venting, not really harping on anyone in particular.

Welcome to the waiting game!!! They need to allow 1 v 1 more also to get more games going. Pantheon Should be like skirmish was take however many players match them and go. Light or Dark who cares let us play the game

Sigh.  Can't say it wasn't going to be obvious that panth would be stacked on dark and perhaps choosing light side this time around would have been a more wise option... Anyway, I agree that getting rid of light/dark would help, but for now... hopefully many people will read this and realize that they need to compensate for the population when they pick a side in the pantheon.  Open opengames.asp.  Look to see what side is queued up before you choose a side.  Then pick.  Odds are, dark side will be overpopulated with active players again.  So choose light and you get to play without rediculous delays.

Actually there are more light players, however the dark side is alot more active. The pantheon should be all vs all, that way games would start alot quicker. So many times I have waited for 20 minutes with a stack of 7 dark players...

I usually pick the side with the least amount of players. Maybe They should list an indicator for activity as well.

Maybe we could pick a side each time we restart the game and go into Pantheon maybe that would be better solution.

yup.  That's why i suggested looking at opengames for current pop.  I found that stat strange too... lots on light, but oh so few actually playing.

I'd be a fan of this.  Seems like a simple solution too.

And I would argue that dark tends to have much better skilled players than light.

Well think about it,

TB > Reg

UB > RooK

LE > Oak

DA > Oculus

Sedna > Qot

I know it isnt allways that way as player skill makes a lot of difference, but....

Just my thought's.

I choose darkness this pantheon as i wanted to try out DA on it

Me too. I love having distinctly different sides in Pantheon. Its a cool mechanic dividing the demigods up. But I don't see a reason to keep you on the same side from one game to another.
