Thank you Stellaris devs for...

... continuing to put so much effort into the game and giving constant free updates and improvements to the game.

I can't tell if this thread is sarcastic or not.

Existing mechanics were changed to a lesser example of such UNLESS you buy the dlc that fleshes it out. I find it hard to believe this isn't sarcasm.

The Stellaris devs deserve praise for their hard work, even if sometimes some of their work is not as well received as usual.

[ComradeBugerov]

I find this praise interesting, when the last few DLCs that they released are all sitting at below 50% positiv.
They were really good at expending their games a few years ago, but somewhere in the last 2-3 years they lost their way and are now releasing stuff that the community in general doesn't enjoy.

Or, upset people are much more likely to leave a DLC review.

I disagree. I think your subconscious is lashing out.

Fanboi's who like everything because they have tied their ego to the games perceived success are the most likely to leave reviews.

It's why there were a flood of positive reviews withing 15 minutes of launch.

[ScreamCon]

I agree with op, nothing beats hard work and determination of the developers. People will scoff them but all updates turn out to be good in the end. Even when the determination seemingly crosses path annihilating the poor gamers in an cataclysmic event. Ah.... gamers.

re "I find this praise interesting, when the last few DLCs that they released are all sitting at below 50% positiv."

I'll try to word this nicely but there are two types of gamers:

1) those that are bitter at EVERYTHING in life; so, ignore the "reviews"

2) adults that are objective and seek out the good ... and guess what ... there is a
LOT of good in this new DLC.

I am having more fun than CK III, Hearts of Iron IV and City: Skylines COMBINED and that needs to be put in context as I love all three of those games; it's just that Stellaris is now in a class of its own. This is a superb improvement to a previously outstanding game. This new 3.8 has taken my enjoyment to a level I did not think was possible. I REALLY like what I am discovering in this new update.

The new traits system, leaders, cap to leaders, everything is outstanding.

[EleventhStar]

i'm really confused by this patch tbh.

they added in an notifcation manager and autopause menu
they did a hotfix to fix the biggest issues instead of waiting a week
varous good QoL changes with armies/fleets and reversal of bad decisions with sectors.
it's somehow cheaper instead of just being same/higher price but with less stuff

even the way they redid leaders doesn't seem to have any obvious missed opportunities at first glance. yeah the gestalts are a bit underwhelming but the system itself seems good.



like it's just seems to all be good this time around so good job paradox, but it's so unexpected kinda still half wondering if there's gonna be a nasty surprise or catch when i actually play, which i might even have to do sooner rather than waiting a week for fixes.

kek your right about effort all right, it took real effort to kick balance down the stairs even more and force so many new bugs in the game

[Geronimo]

It's always the same thing. A gaming company ♥♥♥♥♥ up, a load of players complain about it and rightly so, and then cheerleaders pop up, whether paid or not, to defend the actions of the company.

What a sad state of affairs.

An excellent DLC comes out further expanding and enhancing the game, and a bunch of flag girls pop up because everyone like this DLC and nobody likes their drama.

"The need to force a roll-back!"
Literally saw someone type this, lol. What hubris.

Love the DLC and glad Stellaris is going in this great direction. The game hasn't been better.
