What does Paradox (DEVs) thinks of all the threads?

[John_D]

We have now hundreds of threads, and thousands of messages..
But what do they think of all the suggestions and ideas?

Is it a, "mmm, we will do it our way", or do they really think "hmm, thats a good idea, take it!"

How are they taking this all in.. is it in vain ?

Paradox: can you answer this ?

Its a mix of:
1. mmm, we will do it our way
2. hmm, thats a good idea, take it!
3. Already did that *smug*
4. *shudder*

Paradox: can you answer this ?

Probably not to your satisfaction

I bet the response is that they are thrilled to see so much interest in a project under development. Most games don't see nearly this much activity this early in the process.

More to your point, it is not in vain. Some of the points do get their attention at a stage in the process where it is still early enough to change things. Obviously most ideas put forward in the forums will never come to be. Many of them directly conflict with each other so could not possibly be included and others are, well, not good ideas.

EDIT: my prediction would have made more sense if I had hit send before Podcat did.

They believe we are slightly smarter than planets vs zombie players but not as much as Sims 4 group.

I think there are a lot of good ideas, and a wealth of information on how players want to play.
It would be stupid not to use them. Like CA did with RTW2, it backfires like Barbarossa!

No "oh for the love of god this has already been debated to death" ? or maybe its under the "shudder"

Times change Colonel Poh. And I am new to this kind of game.
And maybe a lot of readers also.
And with 48 years I have seen the gaming industry changing a lot.. and was just wondering.

Podcat has stated he often wonders why we have so much free time to post anyway.

 

[Dalwin]

Ha, I do it from work on a side computer while I am running or monitoring things on the other computers. I can't play any games during the day, but I can talk about them.

nah, he should be in the HOI 6 forum, which uses the Blunderbuss engine, or CK4, which uses the Panzerfaust engine.

Podcat, I pray to raptor Jesus each night that you will bring a satisfying war in the east. A nice Sino-Japanese war would make my dreams come true.


LORD, I BELIEVE..

Posting from work FTW! (my boss dont have a problem with that due to nature of our work - waiting for something to break down).

They are resisting urge to ban everyone and shut down these forums.

All my suggestions fall into #2, right? AmIright? Of course they do. I am soo brilliant. All my elementary school teachers told me, daily. Mom too.

#3 reminds me. I did that for HOI3. Wanted the ability to demote generals to fit in where I wanted them. My suggestion was soo bright and brilliantly smart, that it reached back in time and infected the devs brains before I even thought of it myself.

#4. I know, right? All these other guys gots themselves some wacky ideas.
