Nerf the +50 relations with improved relation plz.

Why?

 

[Articon]

Any news, on when you expect to have the patch ready.

Got a large multiplayer event coming up, but we don't want to start before the patch is out, due to saves probably won't work

Probably the last day of January, unfortunately. I certainly don't hope so.

On Sunday?

 

[Articon]

Lets just hope that it will be in january

 

[Wizzington]

The patch is in QA testing right now. If it passes, it'll be out before end of week.

NOooooooo. I was secretly hoping today.

 

[Ujin]

You could make a public beta-testing.

Keep it there a few weeks longer please.

 

[ChildeR]

Keep it there a few weeks longer please.

No, if there are issues just make it a public beta.

 

[grommile]

Keep it there a few weeks longer please.

Two days in the hands of the general public > two months in the hands of QA.

Just because there's so damned many of us.

In that case, I want to be paid for 2 months' work during those 2 days.

 

[misterbean]

The problem with a public Beta, is how to control the data. How do you sift between real bugs and worthless ones? How many would actually make a rapport that PDS can use in their QA?

 

[ChildeR]

I didn't mean public beta as alternative to QA. Just as a way for the more adventurous (read: bug-tolerant) of us to get our fix earlier.

 

[PhroX]

The point of public betas ain't really testing, but advertising.

They tried that with 1.13, said they didn't get any useful data (because people don't do proper bug reports. OTOH Paradow could have made the process simpler I think), and a bunch of people complaining about bugs *in a beta*.
I understand why they wouldn't want to do the same thing again for 1.15

This is rather a late question, but I just realized this... was retaining estates on conquest also problematic for AI players to handle? The dev diary seem to sound like it was problematic for human players but nothing about how AI players handled it.

I guess AI could more efficiently compute the future influence of the estate.
