DDRJake as a Dev?

[Cymsdale]

the game is becoming less fun patch after patch. especially since they're balancing the game around multiplayer which drags down single player. (i play both single player and multiplayer and single player gameplay should always be the priority)

I play single player exclusively and I think the game is in a pretty sweet state right now. Really wish this "balanced around multiplayer" meme would die.

 

[Golladan]

Great!

But it's still down to the developers to actually fix what's reported.

 

[Aigars]

that explains why they take so long with hotfix now
usualy its 1 day. well best of luck to him.

 

[AchedTeacher]

You mean QA?

Emu'd

Quality AND Assurance. After making sure the game is better, he tells you how great your new outfit is.

Congrats DDRJAke

On topic: he does play, put usually do not stream MP (he did stream one with twitch subscribers)

Ah, that must be it, I was biased then.

DDRJake is now part of the EU4 QA team.

- Hi Wiz
- Hi DDRJake, how is your Foix Nahuatl world conquest going?
- Finished.
- It is year 1711.
- You can see, here.
- Oh. I guess we have to buff France.

That would definitely entail a bug, since Foix isn't formable and Nahuatl zealots are deliberately unable to convert countries to their religion

DDRJake did do a shamanist Sweden game.

Foix Nahuatl would be possible in the same way, he'd just have to jump through more hoops to do it. Also, he'd be in deep shit while bankrupt as Nahuatl.

Run to America and bankrupt yourself?

scottish is considered Scandinavian brothers you know!

 

[Squirrelloid]

Stop being so hysterical you are lowering the tone of this discussion.
I have seen nothing to suggest that the game is balanced for MP, I can't think of a single balance change that was not also justifiable for single player.

That's funny, its hard to find 'balance' changes that were ever justified anywhere by paradox. See the 50% limit on ideas. Or all the horde nerfs.

Well I guess the dream of an easy WC is dead. congratulations.

I'll drink to that

If anything, I'm pretty sour about the game being balanced with all nations acting as players, rather than as a simulation of Early Modern diplomacy and stuff. Things like "now the AI always refuses to give back Unlawful Territory because a player would do so" leave a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

I expect Jake to really focus on the refining the HRE mechanics. He LOVES the HRE.

Revoking the privlegia will now result in a game over saying you settled for Greyskin.

Finally Paradox has a QA team.

 

[Peachrocks]

You know it's gonna happen!

I won't. I know that Jakes hands will most likely be tied. We'll see whether there's major positive changes, but if there is not do not blame DDR Jake .

Finally Paradox has a QA team.

I think it always had one, but did they listen to it? Hmmmmmmmmm.... Now will they listen to Jake? Hmmmmm..... I'm gunna go with... maybe? For as long as he stays on track with the 'art project'.

The old comments:

"Why didn't Paradox find this?? They should just let DDRJake do their testing!"

The new comments:

"Why didn't DDRJake find this?? That's what happens when you hire fans!"
