Published on December 13, 2009 By Microstar In Demigod

1. Pantheon doesent allow to change sides...at least for me, dunno bout you.....annoying!

2. Due to stat reset....the noob games get filled up with good players hoping to stomp someone....annoying!

3. Due to reset of played games i cannot see how trained someone is.....annoying!

I think i just didnt understand the meaning of pantheon. I thought its a quick auto match option for lazy people who just want to start a game quickly.

No, that was Skirmish. Stardock decided to remove that, since only a few people were playing in it. As I have said in other threads before, in my opinion they should bring back skirmish and remove the Pantheon concept. If we had only Skirmish, I think there would be more players in Skirmish than in Pantheon right now.

The metagame of the Pantheon is just not worth all the downsides. Imho there is no metagame at all present, since I don't care about the dark and the light side that much. Certainly not as much as I would care for my faction in a Galactic War for example.

Except that there is absolutely no point to being on any particular side. You don't get any perks or bonuses or even a reward if your "team" wins. So they are just random PUG's with the DG pool restricted to a certain set. Its a meaningless distinction, and the lack of any auto-assignment feature simply adds further delay in getting a game going.

Even the statistics show that Epoch III "is no fun". There are considerably more people on the Forces of Light (== Assassins side) than on the Forces of Darkness (== Generals side). The Epoch III Generals vs Assassins tournament started out with the Light side always being stacked in the Pantheon queue and waiting for some Generals to join. However, despite the high numbers of Assassins present in Pantheon, the stack has shifted (or is at least starting to shift) to the Forces of Darkness Pantheon queue, probably meaning that a lot of the Assassins are playing less or not at all anymore.
