Demigod Pantheon Statistics - Log/Info/Suggestions

I want suggestions!

Published on March 5, 2009 By GunslingerBara In Demigod

Hello everyone,

As Stardock's web developer, I was tasked with creating a statistics website for Demigod using the ungodly amount of data we (will) have available to us. That website is now located at http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com. A bunch of you already saw the "beta" version a few weeks back. While this site is still a beta, I am happy enough with it to remove the beta message that was at the top of the page in the previous version.

Today I pushed an update that added a bunch of new statistics, pages, and a slight redesign. Starting today I will be keeping a log of changes to the site in this post. I will also be checking for any suggestions, ideas, or feedback you guys may have on the site, so feel free to reply with any ideas.

Please keep in mind that the site is still a work in progress. Some numbers are still off, the design will likely be changed some more, and we will be adding more statistics in the future. It will likely be updated a few more times before Demigod's release.

Change Log:
9/21/2009
- Fixed how player stats are saved to the database, so custom games now count for Ladder Rankings/Experience (not all custom games though, just ranked custom games).
- Added Notes tab to player pages. This will allow you to view and manage private notes for other players, which will eventually appear within Demigod itself. Only you can view notes you've written, and you cannot view other's notes or notes written about you.
- The player stats on the left side of the primary player page now includes a small description for each stat.
- Fixed minor bugs with graphs.
- Fixed other minor bugs.

Ill just throw out some further BS to rant because I feel like it. From what the state site claims i've played 24 pantheon matches, where realistically i've played double that. 18-6 is my recond according to games list, 12-2 is my record in pantheon. HAR HAR HARRRRRRRRR

Only one is Pantheon on May 15th, but I played 3 pantheons, one of them was 2v2 and no-one dropped as I said...it was with surp88 on my team.

EDIT: LOOK I found the game in HIS list : http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/420625/player/46099/ it is recorded as a game with 4 players however only 2 are listed there, wtf????

Man I find the most odd bugs in your system...check this one out! So 4 players play only 2 get credited???

I looked at the database, and yes, you seem to be missing entirely from the game. Unfortunately there isn't much I can do about getting your lost game back, but I can look into seeing why you weren't counted in the first place. I'll work with T-Man to see if we can get recreate the problem.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for taking so much of your time to reply to everyone Bara ^^

Although I don't have very many games, I currently have 12 listed, with their wins and losses posted in the "Games List" tab. But, my stats page is blank except for the games graph, and although i've played two pantheon games, i'm listed as 0/0 with 0 minutes involved. Looking my up name shows no experience, no playtimes, no games, and no rank as well.

Does anyone know why my stat's wouldn't fully display?

I've also had a number of games that didn't record, but I see that that has been an issue for several people, as well as a loss for a game I won.

Here's the link to my profile, if that helps clarify: http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/player/45960/

Out of my last 5 pantheon games only one was recorded (see here) in the pantheon stats. They show up in the games tab but not in pantheon or maps. At least one 2v2 game had human players from beginning to start.

I just looked at our error logs for the weekend and noticed that after the game is saved, it isn't updating the general statistics. Luckily, as long as your game was saved none of your stats were lost. For the time being we're going to try and fix the bug in the back-end. After that, playing another game should resolve your stat woes.

I'm having another issue. I just played an hour and ten minute pantheon game against a really well played opponent, but won.

However, the game has recorded my opponents team losing, AND myself. The only player with a win was my AI controlled team mate. It's also recorded as only being 19 minutes long.

How can my team win and I get a loss, and the player who was disconnected at the start of the game be the only one with the victory?

http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/434854/player/45960/

Confusingly, this also happened here:

http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/423794/player/45960/

Any help is appreciated,

Akari

It's possible that the other guy was pushed to a second game due to his disconnect, and oddly his game was saved first since he finished first. GPG and Stardock are working right now on resolving the problems with disconnects.

It would be fun to be able to see how the per-Demigod stats changed over time, instead of just a bar chart showing the current standings.

I do have that data available, and is easy to get to. I'll see about making a page for each Demigod with stats and graphs just for that Demigod. The current Demigod graphs were meant for comparison purposes.

Would be wicked to have similar features as the above ...

Maybe replace the tags with either player names, add in some drop down boxes to choose data types .. would be wicked.

I do have some ideas for player comparisons, but I can try to do some trending for multiple players.

Stats are updated at midnight daily (and some at 6AM). Try checking again tomorrow morning.

By the way, do the games show up in your games played list? If so, then it's just a matter of waiting for those numbers to update.

Gunslinger, stuff is really looking good. You should have charts for Cumulative win%, Daily win%, and Experience lvl. Then I think it is pretty much set.

Of course that doesn't mean that stats are perfect or there isn't ELO debate, but this is really lokking feature complete.

How do all demigods have a Win% greater than 50% except QoT?

Hi Bara,

Played a game 5/21/09 at 9.52 pm EST or so. Custom game on Crucible, 2v2. One opponent dc'd. One opponent quit. My ally and I stay in and finish the game, but I see no record of it. My impression was that as long as someone played the game out it would show up on games played?

It doesn't look like dc was a split either, because it doesn't show on the dc'd player's record.

Thanks
