Patriarch Authority events (and I think pious evnets) rarely happen now?

How can you honestly say that though in a positive light? it's what gain 25 prestige (not even) in an event that fires every 30 years?
can some of ya'll get some attention to this thread, hopefully Wiz can see this and the amount of criticism on the broken Orthodox religion so he can fix it.
I had 1 event in 50 years as BYZ. It looks like PA got hit pretty hard this patch. It's so slow now that I'm not sure Orthodox didn't fall behind Coptic in terms of religion value.
They were intentionally made less common but I agree they're too rare now. Will be tweaked (though not back to the old level).
Can we expect another small patch today ?
No, sorry, we're working on the larger 1.9 bug fixing patch now.
(I'll hazard a guess and say that they'll change it in 1.8.2/3 among other things.)
Ignore was too slow/didn't expect a reply from the dev team this soon.

Making the events as common would probably be too much, not to even mention equalizing the PA gain values. Something like 2x the frequency, at most, I would hope.
Not good enough, they need to be on their own level. Orthodox is a religion that gets no bonuses when it's at 0% and negative events when you get the events to raise PA it needs to be restored to its old level at the very least.
Orthodox is maybe the best christian religion, mostly because of religious cb but it is always good to have, catholic may not give you anything at all and the reformed religions come later, are worse diplomatically and a ortho with high partical is probably better.
Hindu events seem especially rare as well; I've only had around three in 200 years of game time.
I am on the other hand almost always get one per ruler...
Only few (six or eight) of my ruler (I am in late 1700 now) never get the events...
I never understood why would you want to have high piety or PA with any country? For both, its seems like having them at 0 is much better, especially since even the events to raise them/lower them favor you going to 0. The only scenario I see PA/piety useful is when you decided not to go religious
I agree about piety, since negative piety gives better bonuses (if you have religious or otherwise don't need conversion strength), but low patriarch authority doesn't give you anything and high only costs money. The only real reason to stay low PA is the bonuses from events, whether or not you have religious ideas.
I'd say PA and piety are very different things.
Piety is easily changed (with steps of 25%, and you can change it with DoWs) and easily reset (whenever you change a ruler), so it's more a short-term thing. You plan to grab some Christian land in a few years? Go piety, enjoy the better troops and missionary strength. It's something you only need to plan for 20 or 40 years.
On the other hand PA requires hundreds of years to build up. Whether going for high PA is a game-long strategic choice.
