Thank you, Paradox! I'm sure it's pretty disheartening to log onto the forums to many of us complaining and I applaude your efforts in not only releasing 3 patches, but also 4 lots of DLC in the space of roughly 2 days.
Well done from a very happy customer!
I can't say I'm a "happy customer.."
The game was awesome, and the patch broke it. I'm still waiting for the second hotfix to hit steam but everyone knew that was buggy before I even have it so now I'm waiting on the third hotfix? Can't even keep it straight now, there was the patch then then the hotfix with zero stat bug so ya I'm waiting on the second hotfix. Hopefully it doesn't introduce new bugs. For now I'm just out of the game until the latest hotfix hits Steam.. seems like other people get these hotfixes sooner, then I read how they're buggy, then the next one is buggy too so I'm always behind the curve still waiting on a previous hotfix that's already known to be buggy.
CK2 games are long games, ungodly hours spent playing them, nobody wants to invest so much time just to discover a gamebreaking bug four generations into a game -- it's important that devs start getting this stuff right *before* pushing it out over Steam.
Also the ruler designer DLC. It felt like bait and switch, it doesn't do what common sense suggests it would. As it stands, if you go in to edit a historical character you totally wipe out their dynastic history. And while there's a ruler designer button right there on the saved games, if you push it nothing happens. There's a tutorial on the forum about how to edit characters yourself with the text file -- but come on, I paid $5 for the ruler designer gui what's the good reason why the ruler designer can't do this for me? That text file editing is too involved for just wanting to change your look a bit, and that's why I bought the DLC for five bucks for the convenience, but the DLC doesn't do it.
The ruler designer should be fixed, this makes no sense how it is now surely they must realize that?
So ya, they made a great game then they broke it so I can't say I'm happy. The current DLC needs to be fixed, and new DLC needs to work as advertised or that's just going to sour customers when they pay more and get disappointed. This is the internet there's no customer service, we can't get a refund, those chained to Steam can't even roll back to what they first bought.
(worst part of all this is the Steam chain, being locked out of a 1.04 version)
