Stellaris Dev Diary #185: Announcing Necroids

[Zagreb 887]

In my opinion, a bit of honesty from them is the strict minimum, even to admit they don't have the time/people/money (lol) to fix the game, regarding the fact that most of us spend more than 100e on this game.

It's something that blow my mind, how costly Pdx games are, and how buggy and half finished they stay. I don't understand how they manage to survive on this unstable and crumbling house of cards

because they decided to open their games to more people, attracting more casual players, thus increasing the pool of people who will blindly defend their inexscusable behavior( and most importantly keep buying regardless of the quality of the content)

I think I'm guilty here, I come with Stellaris and buy all DLC :/ even if I knew all the issues of the game after spending hundreds of hours into it, I always had the hope that devs would make their product work as intended...

It's not about you, stop thinking you're the center of this tread. Nobody here insult the devs, nobody show them real disrespect, end of the story. Maybe you play the white knight to grab some attention, great, you succeed, you got it.

Now, try to really understand why there is so much rage and salt on this topic. People who get the game from release, spend hundreds of euros on it just see their game decaying months after months. They search solutions, propose them, complain... So little attention from the devs, and things get worse and worse on this matter. This year (OK there was covid, but com on...) total radio silence, no fix, and suddenly, 3 DD where the only goal is to sell a cosmetic (and quite empty) DLC...

People anger come from a really, really bad communication from Pdx. Nobody insult the devs or the art team, they rage against this desastrous politic of comm and marketing, and they are right to be. Sometimes, when someone don't want to listen, you have to scream a bit. With respect, what you seem to not understand, proud white knight

...
well, i understand the problems people have, i also understand that they become angry and are complaining, its not that i have a problem with it, its just that, in my opinion, some posts here don't look respectful, maybe its because english isn't my main language and i see some things a bit to... yah however, what you call "scream a bit" i call "flaming" ... well, if thats my fault, if i see things a little too strictly (in case of my bad english) so, sorry for that...

I always get everything on sale, full CK2 was still cheaper than RDR2 and the likes, aalso I think prices in Europe are much higher than in my region. I remember when I was doing my masters in England how everything spiked, but with my mexican card I could still buy cheap games

You are the same, just on the other extreme

So, for you it's just a matter of perspective? The game is objectively fine with no issues at all?

those 2 things are not related at all. You kind of proved dmy second point: You're just as fanatical a hater as the lovers you're complaining about. Which is why you confalated two independent things. Sad and pathetic, I guess you also say We Won when your sports team wins?

 

[Zagreb 887]

Yes, I spend shitton of money just to complain about a game, anyone has his hobbies after all

in that case you're not very smart are you? I spent less money that I would've to go out to the clubs, and I spent about 500 hours before I eventually got bored. Not a perfect game by any means, but it was an efficent time/money investment for some fun.

There's no need to get personal, especially after failing to read the other posters sarcasm.

 

[CMDR_HERNE]

I'm hyped.
I'll have to stop rewatching the announcement trailer at some point ....

what's fanatical about asking the devs to fix their game, for which i paid for? you do realise you arent making any sense right?

Also since paradox are not the best at gauging the atmosphere here I'll say this plainly:

Most of us would rather puke our balls out through our mouths than read another "wE aRe AlWaYS WoRkINg On PeRfOrMaNcE aNd Ai" post.

4.

Years.

And it's WORSE.

I quite like my gonads where they are, thanks!

Also, what about those without testes?

 

[mysticdueler]

Do you want spacetrump? Because attitudes like that are how you get spacetrump.

Technically, haven’t we had spacetrump in the game from day 1?

 

[mysticdueler]

1.9 was the high point of the ai as I recall. There were even threads of people complaining that it had been made to hard to casual players....

True! It’s where the ensign difficulty setting came from - they had to create a new, easier difficulty!

I am starting to be a bit uncareful with posts, and as I haven't seen a mod pop in with a helpful reminder just yet, I thought I'd quote this in the interest of avoiding unfortunate outcomes. I am not saying anyone is being toxic but with all our emotions high at the moment, some added discretion is the better part of valour.

What is toxicity?

In general any post that is overly negative, doesn't contribute to the forum or simply contains foul language and insults is toxic. If your post doesn't contribute and instead serves as a way to stir up more negativity and rage from other users, it's toxic. Keep this in mind:

• Look at your post history. If the majority of your posts are troll posts against other players or telling other players that the Paradox team doesn't care/doesn't listen/doesn't know what they are doing, that's not productive. Don't reply to posts to say no one will reply. If you aren't looking to help the player with a question please do not respond.
• Posts that contain threats, attacks, insults aimed at Paradox staff or zero-value trolls will be deleted. They may also result in an immediate and permanent revocation of posting privileges. These will not use a time consuming infraction system. A good guideline to use for tone is: If you wouldn’t want someone walking into your living room speaking the words you’re about to post; it’s best to find another way to say it.

"telling other players that the Paradox team doesn't care/doesn't listen/doesn't know what they are doing, that's not productive."

Might not be productive, but definitely true

Well I did build a Dyson Sphere and made Mexeno pay for it...
