The pain of being a man

I pretty much agree as the only ones I've ever actually read for more than a paragraph are these and that world conquest one ws2_2 (or something to that effect, you know who I mean) did. Which, interestingly, was devoid of the usual flourish, basically read, "I did this, then this, then this." If I recall correctly, it's been a while. I can almost guarantee I'll never read another Victoria one after I actually have the game.

However, while another pre-release Victoria AAR would be great, I guess that's in other hands than mine. (Looking at how much fun the game seems to be, I wish I'd applied for beta testing... then again, I guess that isn't all ice cream and hula hoops and we only get to see the neat stuff. And it really, really is.)

I can't believe that there is no new AAR or even an update. We ask about them all the time but no one even gives an answer. (mods)

Also I don't think most of us (including me) will not read an AAR after the game release. ( why read, just play ;) )

As someone who has written three HOI AARs, and has read countless HOI/EU II efforts by more skilled writers, let me assure you the AARs will remain popular as long as the game is played. To see this in action, go to the EU II forum and notice the number of AARs in progress 2 years after the games release.

re ToMazez

I want to ask that you post some AARs because when the game will be out AAR will not be so popular like it would be now . Do you agree?

Full agreement. Maybe some AAR as Great Catholic Austria or as Prussia it would be great to read such AAR before playing. Much more cool than after your first game :D

I definitely think it is your opinion. After I got the game i may think to write an AAR just because of fun and tell my heroic tale I made. That doesn't show that people are quite interested with i.

As i've said most of the people will not be interested in AAR after the game release and that's my opinion.

Sure, it's nice to see how the game works and I agree that a new AAR could be released to non-betas.

But, like I said, beta AARs are never the most popular ones. The most popular EU2 and HoI AARs were all written after the games were released AFAIK.

No. Most popular AARs are always written after the game has been released.

Most popular among the people who regularly read them, perhaps. But right now a lot of people who don't usually read them are, just to get their Vicky fix before the release. So I'd say that these pre-release AARs have the larger audience. Not to mention that there's only two...demand is much higher than supply.

Patience my Belgium friend. :) In just one week and a couple of days the game will be released in Sweden...and by the beginning of the following week this place will be filled by AARs and reports from the game.

With the game release so short away, and with most requests for more AARs seemingly being ignored (for the most part), I think the powers that be have decided to let us wait and perhaps use that to heighten the apprehension (or whatever).

Too bad actually, since there quite clearly is a large audience waiting for more glimpses of Victoria, and even though Scandinavians (yay us!) will soon have the game, others have to wait longer (poor souls).

Come on, folks. Be -patient-! It takes time for the testers to actually play the game, you know, and most of that has to be directed towards testing. They're not out there 'hoarding' all the fun and excitement of Victoria to themselves. What they're doing is hard work, and what we've been given thusfar is generous in itself. They'll get more AARs out when they get them out, and it's been my experience, on the testing side for several games in the past, that the more the clammorings and gripes, the less likely the testers are to honor those expectations.

What they're doing for us is a gift, it isn't a service.

I believe they *are* hoarding all the fun! Now, my brethren, we need to decide - are we going to sit idly by and let them do this, or are we gonna do something about it??

To the Bastille!!!

There are 100 betas (counted) - so I would think that they could get one more to do an AAR.... oh well I guess when have to wait patiently:(
