Some honest thoughts from a long time player

Posted: 05 Nov 2019 07:10 AM PST

I'm gonna make clear before I begin that I'm in no way an expert on this game. I've been playing since Common Sense, which probably isn't as long as some people here, but considering that was three or so years ago I feel confident saying I'm one of the older players. I'll also preface saying I don't think I'm that good at the game, but I still have a ton of fun with it regardless.

So, as typical to all my Tuesday mornings, I pull up r/eu4 and look for the most recent dev diary posted. Normally I'm always happy to read them, even on the less popular diaries, but today I felt, a little upset to be fully honest. The QoL changes were nice and all, but the bottom is what really stuck with me.

"Now to a bit of a meta topic of our development diaries, the development diaries themselves. We do not want to produce filler development diaries and we know you want to hear about cool features whenever we write one. So we will be slowing down the pace at which we are writing these. We will be doing them monthly going forward meaning the next one won't be until 3rd of December where I will be sure to give you something to sink your teeth into. I haven't decided yet what feature we'll be talking about but thanks to reducing to this pace you can be sure it's going to be something big, new and exciting!"

I don't think I'm alone in thinking it's a mistake moving to monthly dev diaries. Even if you don't have much to show (which I've never had the biggest issue with the smaller diaries) it's a way for the community to interact with the devs, something DDRJake pointed out was their goal at the beginning of the year. I support the idea others have proposed of the devs essentially doing "proper diaries", just giving their thoughts on the production and how it's evolving, a glimpse for players into their minds.

Coupled with the more recent controversies which I won't even attempt to give an opinion on, it feels like with Jake leaving that this update has lost a little steam. He was personally my favorite part of the diaries and streams, he just has that engaging personality to keep the nitty gritty interesting. A monthly diary may also symbolize an inherent unreadiness to the dlc, which if it's supposed to be 4 months away is a bit concerning to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against larger diaries with more stuff packed in, but after this long and with all the time that would be between the diaries, it seems detrimental to paradox to be radio silent between them. That's how you alienate a playerbase.

Tl:dr I think paradox is making a mistake moving to monthly diaries, and should at the very least give weekly thought process updates to remedy a loss in communication.
