Per IRC, Demigod beta is being uploaded as I type. No retail tonight, but beta should go live soon.

ugh... my games keep crapping out over the last 30-45 minutes... MEH! I'm guessing you guys are doing something...
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="14" id="2194804"]Just updated it. In the meantime, go see Star Trek. I went this afternoon and it was great. [/quote] Heh... wish I could have seen that already. Time to fire up the 'ol custom game and check back in an hour to see if we are live with anything new.
Bwahahah! I officially no longer want to work for Stardock. Thanks for weeding me out!
Frogboy, Any chance we'll see a new beta tonight or is it too early to say?
[quote who="revlazaro" reply="17" id="2193226"]Game Ranger is about to drop support for unpatched versions of Demigod. I think a lot of us will return when we're not getting flooded by ignoramus's who still try to join our games even when labeled. [/quote] That's good news if that's the case... unfortunately, game ranger's timing could have used a kick in the butt to do that a little sooner... :) Odds are by the time that is in place, we'll hopefully be on a new buil
Agreed... Game ranger seems to mostly be pirated games. I'm glad you had success with it, tassox33. Be nice if there was an easy way to filter out games on the wrong version if not listed in the title (I don't think there is a way in game ranger, but I've only tried it a few times). And yes, people with the same version can play with others on game ranger, be it the pirated copy or legal.
FROGBOY!!!!!!!!!!! Go to sleep! Thank you and all the dev's for all the hard work.
Awesome! Looking forward to trying things out tomorrow.

" That doesn't work and hasn't since beta.Actually, it's View History, and has always worked. At least, when there is actually a change log posted. [/quote] Maybe true for you, but not for all. For me, being able to view the change log has not worked r
Awesome. Thanks! For the demo, how about locking them down to 1 or 2 characters only. Perhaps block access to purchasing upgrades using favor points. 1 map only. And of course, a splash screen when they quit the game telling them all of the features they are missing. I really dig the 50% offer... I already had most of my friends pick it up prior to that offer, but maybe I can find a straggler.
Frogboy, Thanks for this post. You addressed a lot of concerns all in one place. I am looking forward to the build on Monday and I appreciate all the work you and other devs are putting into ironing out the remaining issues. I completely understand the pain of long hours at work when needed. I hope you and the team get a nice break from this very soon!
I don't think I'll be going back to Warcraft III anytime soon. Dota was great and I loved it. A review I read comparing Demigod to Dota is pretty much the reason I picked up Demigod in the first place. That said, I think schinstad said it pretty well. Dota is awesome, but the graphics and resolution are dated. What's awesome is that Blizard put the tools in place so users could create something so great. Perhaps we'll see a map builder/char designer at some
[quote who="Dormaus" reply="8" id="2181130"]You guys are still doing better than me. For a few games yesterday I had enough points to buy the speed item each game. Then it went haywire again. Tonight with the beta patch I am stuck at -625 favor no matter how much I win/lose/play. [/quote] UGH... so apparently the negative values can still occur. Sorry Dormaus [e digicons]x_x[/e]
Thanks for posting the release notes BigBad! I usually check the history in impulse, but for some reason, I just get a blank pop up on this build.
Banned myself for banning someone else's post from muliple posts ago.
I played quite a bit after thelatest patch went live on 5/2/2009. I haven't had any negative favor points yet :) ....but the issue still exists. Each time I connect, I get a different favor point value.
Banned for referencing MTV's the real world.
I don't think they really are at this point. I guess they might still be incredibly annoying for anyone trying to use game ranger currently (as its a recommended work around.... but 95% of the games appear to be that pirated version. Meh...
Beta Testing patch update: I grabbed the patch around midnight (ET). First two games, I found that I could not host a custom game (no issues prior). I received the nat error message. One of my buddies was able to host a custom game and I was able to join at around 12:10AM ET. Game had quite a bit of slow down about 30 minutes in. At around 1:30AM ET, I tried to host a game and was successful, so no more hosting issues that were initially a problem with this bui
Update is live!
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="23" id="2180757"] Quoting Gallifray, reply 22 I can never get into the IRC it always says excess flood but thats just while in the game. So can we kinda hope for it tonight? Frog said it's being packaged and uploaded, so yeah, tonight, but that stuff takes a while. Might be another hour or two or three? [/quote] Great!
Thanks for the insight everyone. No need to purchase a time machine. I appreciate all the work the devs have done on this. Looking forward to the day when we start talking more about new characters!
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="9" id="2180034"]We're still working on it. There will definitely be a very very long blog post about this issue when it's finally dealt with. This has definitely been the most challenging issue I've ever seen to rectify. [/quote] Thanks Frogboy!
