i joined a game lobby then left and i got a loss.... explanation?
Sometimes you play out a game to a win and it never shows up.....
The things we live with..
i have games i won, but it shows in the game list i lost, being a game 2 vs 4 and me the 4th palyer in the losing team -.-
no really, who ever made the stats, ladder and stats collecting stuff i would fire him imediatly. bugs happen, but such a mess is unbelievable. especially that they tried to fix it several times... without success.
edit: oh btw. i have player rank arround 36000.... i looked at the stats of the players before me on the first two pages following me. all have worse stats than me and are still higher in rank. maybe the ladder designer and programmer should visit elementary school again. dunno....
OMG CelMare! i just checked your stats and you have ony 932 experience.
WTF??? 
When the exp and rank reset happened 1 month ago, all players were reset to 1000 experience by default. Exp determines your rank. Now i dont normally care about the stupid ranking system but this is just extreme. You are rank 34.894 and about 32.000 accounts are players that have stopped playing Demigod for good and moved on to other games.
Unbelievable!
no NOT all players! my stats were NEVER reseted! and i am not even the only one.
in this stupid system they aren't even able of resetting all palyers stats 
. and i am quite sick of writing to the support never getting a response beside the automatic "we got your request"-mail. never was ignored by support so mcuh like here. even EA came up with an aswer after 2 weeks. my "database error" when trying to set players notes on the demigod site is now open for... a month?
no really, SD gets my worst support ever award.
. This will be addressed by tweaking the experience system in general and/or having a lower starting experience.
no, that's not the problem here. as i explained, my sstats and games i palyed should have given me much more exp. it simply does not work. it does not count my experience correctly and this is not the only problem.
additionally, as i already mentioned, my stats were NEVER reseted beside once about some weeks after release. the "big reset" one or two months ago did not affected me. neither my stats nor my favor points were reseted.
Yes, the problem is, that a loss will decrease your experience way too much sometimes (or a win will not give you enough experience). That's why it has to be tweaked. Other things like the Demigod or Map rankings are completely broken though.
Regarding the stats reset: Favor points weren't reset (only the very first reset also reset the favor points). And as far as I looked back then, everyone had 1000 experience after the reset.
again spooky, neiher my rank nor anything else got reseted for me. and most people told me (even an official statement i remember) that the favor points got reseted but not the favor items you already purchased.
additionally i have matches with players with higher ranks and they still get more experience than me after the win.
one more thing, the suggested problem getting less exp for a win than you lose on a lost match cannot be the problem as i see many players with much higher rank having arround the same number of games (well more or less) but with 20% win % or similar. no, here are mcuh mroe things broken than only the weightening of exp gain between loss and win.

mines not. neither my exp was reseted that day nor my ladder ranking changed. and i still remember an official post of favor points resetting around that time. the thread you showed does not disproove this. but anyway, it does not matter.
and even if you were right, none of your explenations explain my rank if you compare it to most players above me in rank.
you think wrong! i explecitly payed attention to this because ti bothers me for quite a time!
btw. even if i would have noticed it a few games later (what was not the case!) it would still not explain why i had rank 3X000 at that time whle i saw plenty of palyers with <25% win ratio being active at tthat time still being hundreds of ranks above me. and like many here can assure you i usually play against high ranked palyers, thus it is not because i lose against noobs having such an exp loss.
Btw. as far as I know the favor points you gained in a match will also influence the experience you get or lose for that match (or maybe it's even solely based on that). This explains (at least for some cases) why even players with a low win percentage might always go up in exp or simply have a higher exp than you.
spooky, maybe there is a big missunderstandnig, but as far as i remember the higher the rank is of players i beat the more exp i earn and wiseversa, right?
i don't compare me with other palyers below 1000exp, i compare my stats with palyers in the top 800! there are palyers with 55% win, having arround 200 games at rank 300.
i usually fight players with very high ranks but i still do not get much exp. i usually have also high favor points at the end of the match. so pls stop this pointless suggestions as they don't have anything to do with my case, as i already explained this several times. i GAIN LESS EXP THAN OTHERS within the SAME match (no matter what fav points i got in that match)!
and btw. i NEVER was above 100 exp except maybe for the first week i played that game online. my win percentage of the last weeks is above 70% playing often against many of the top palyers arround here and i still did not get any exp in that time.
Spooky: you are wrong. Just admit that the ladder ranking system is broken.
CelMare: you are right. Other players have told me that their favor points got reset. Some players even said that their games had been reset. And i know 1 of them was a good experienced player and after the "experience" reset he showed as 0 games played.
I mean WTF! Ladder is broken at least for some accounts.
Me? nothing was reset for me except for the experience. So it works for me.
btw: Spooky are you from Stardock staff trying to tell us that everything is ok?
HA! i knew that others told me having their favor points resetted too. for some players also the game counter got reseted. it is far byond my comprehension how one can still defended such annoying things. maybe i missed something in the past years but never saw such a mess, bad support and ignorance like here.
You know what they say..... "Ignorance is bliss!"
Ha ha ha Just kidding 
Well, lets put it this way. Would you rather they spend all of their time on out of game rankings/stats, or ingame issues that actually change your gameplay experience?
Personally, getting in a game and having a good time (and playing for hundreds of hours) hardly justifies this sort of rage over a completely peripheral issue.
well let me put it that way:
they didn't put their time in gameplay issues, as we still suffer from many many bugs since beta, very annoying bugs, most of them should be quite easy to fix. additionally i heavly destroys my beliefe in their competence if they cannot fix such a simple task like a ladder and stats site, even though they tried it at least 3 times and it is still not working!
yes, i would prefere that they fix the many ingame problems rather than stats. i don't care much about stats. but it is an hipothetic question up till now. this game has many problems, some of them gamebreaking and things that were a must have prior to release. that's the reason us most times see only a handfull open games, and sometimes with luck a signle one.
Actually it is not rage or anger or whatever.
It is a fact. Ladder is kinda broken after all this time, the achievements are broken too, and Notes tab is broken for some ppl too.
Btw: I get the "database error" too CelMare.
