Where're all the people gone?

[Cpack]

What's up with this forum at the moment ??
It's nearly dead

One reason could be that all the Betas are forbidden to post in this forum !?
Also the presence of mods is very rare.....

But then, are 70% of all peoples here Betas ??
Btw, how much Betas are there ???

O.k, just a thought, the more Betas, the better the game, and that's what we all want to see.....

 

[unmerged(16031)]

The game hasn't been released, and there's already 20 000 posts...quite enough.

 

[unmerged(1847)]

Exactly. How much can we ponder without actually playing the game?

 

[unmerged(29126)]

Also: since the game has entered Beta-phase it's kind of pointless to discuss things like "I want feature X in this game", "I think combat mechanics should work like this" ... those were the fun topics to debate ... now we have to bicker about minor details ...

 

[Cpack]

So maybe Johan can give us a few more details (not only screenies) to flame new discussions

 

[unmerged(29126)]

Actually that would be a good idea, in addition to screenie-friday we could have quote-tuesday ... would certainly liven things up a bit ... there was a suggestion a while back (1 week ?) to have a Beta come up with a bit of writing each week, have it cleared by Paradox and then post it here ...

Amen.

Havent posted since last month and the best thing i can come up with is a single word. How productive.

Or...we could have a Q&A with Johan once a week, say every Friday.
On Monday a MOD poll for instance 5 subjects that we can ask questions about and on Thursday the subject with most votes get to ask questions about.
That way we can ponder and discuss Johans answers on say 5 question per subject (without the turtle kind of answers ).
So we have something to look forward too, what do you think?

 

[unmerged(13113)]

Hmmmm...

Could just be that most of the early information has been discussed to a dead end, and all thats left is simply wish lists and hopefull thinking. Or could just be early in the week and people are in the work grind mode.


Long Live Prussia!

 

[Chaplain]

There's just nothing left to talk about until we see the game, or get more substantive information. Motivation is very low at the moment.

 

[Maximilian I]

which info would interest you most?

 

[unmerged(33694)]

Non-beta tasks

Non-beta tasks are the only thing I'm following nowadays.

PE is uncovering so little information (which is understandable), so there is nothing to discuss except whether green bar means i'm winning or the attacker (that's me again) is winning, i.e. red bar means AI is winning or defender (that's AI again)... Got it??! So, like, totally, not fun!

Differences between HoI & HoI2: like unit attachments.
I find a description of this would be more useful than a screenshot. But that's my call.
I think we need a poll - that would spent some extra time than just realising something

We are not forbidden to post here at all, we are just very busy with making a very good game.

well.....
1.) Johan already mentioned that there will be Heavy tank brigades as attachements, the old ones are kept... what more will be there is to be seen (may be subject to change due to the balancing progress, so it makes no sense to post a full list)...

2.) iirc, Johan also already mentioned that brigades will be attacheable and detachable....

Thnx...
Does 2) means that you can attach any type of unit you have in the game? I don't mean attaching sub to mountain division, but land unit to a land unit.

P.S.
I believe this kind of Q&A is very useful for the forum.

My wish No.1 is:

What additional units will be in, in comparison to HOI1 (see my additional post)

1. Light cruiser
2. Battlecruiser
3. .....
4. .....

They'll probably tell you:
3. HQ Unit
Because that is already known

But we have to appreciate Maximillian's effort to lift spirits of numerous forum members

Do you really want to drag Johan away from debugging the game?

That's good

Keeping this HOI2 Thread alive with new informations is the best publicity for Paradox.

Several friends of mine are new to Paradox, but due to the forum hot for HOI2
