Kaza42 posted:Fun fact about hospitals: If they aren't enough to completely bypass whatever disease is wracking your nation, they often just make things worse. Diseases have a set duration once they reach a province, and hospitals delay disease reaching the province but do not reduce that duration. So if your policy is to close the gates while there is disease in or adjacent to your capital, a hospital increases the duration you'll need to be locked up for. They are insanely binary. Once I had them high enough I just never had to deal with disease again which...doesn't feel great because oh I spend several thousand gold and ignore a mechanic. It'd be better if a hospital didn't mean suddenly your province never felt disease but you'd get better court doctors who got good treatments better/could cure more stuff without cutting off your face.

The extent of the communication I got at goodie bag pickup was "Shirt size?", and I waited about an hour or two after the line opened before I picked mine up. But yeah, they were super crowded even then so it's easy to imagine they were just overwhelmed. But the whole situation would have been resolved with ten seconds of Shams going "yo, we apologize for the manila envelopes -- there was unfortunately a last-minute supply issue with the actual bags" on stage. Boom, done.

I disagree with announcing it on stage, but regardless we're looking into options for more efficient communication channels next year, and we could certainly have made it clearer at pickup. But there is a big difference between not talking about it and not having some of the convention goers knowing about it. This is a case of the latter not the former.

I think it’s aggressively avoiding anything close to a risk of bad publicity on stream. Edit: I mean yeah it’s just a drat canvas bag, but like I said it wasn’t addressed in any satisfying way and after standing in line under the sign that literally says Goodie BAG it’s a bit disingenuous to suggest that telling people sorry no bag as you hand them an envelope is a satisfying apology.

Or even on the Discord. But yeah, lessons learned etc. Was there an official Discord for the event last year as well? I feel like that actually worked fairly well this year for announcements (though I'm an insane person who activated Discord push notifications during the event for that reason)

It sucks they're taking out the Deus Vult yell. It's so corny and reminds me of campy 90s PC game designs. I don't think they should let internet nazis call the shots but that discussion has been had.

Senior Dog posted:So if you were told the place you'd be working at used English as its working language, had to apparently pay your own way over there, and then found out that actually they speak Swedish a lot in work conversations you'd be okay huh. That's cool but hopefully you can find the empathy somewhere in your bones to understand why others would see that as a problem I have enough “empathy in my bones” to not expect an entire company to ever speak their native tongue in order to accommodate my monolingual self. (If Paradox doesn’t pay for people to relocate that is unusual and will block them from a considerable amount of talent, btw)

They do have a bit more of an impact than that - high level hospitals make diseases less impactful even when they do hit the province, so you will take less of a prosperity hit than you would otherwise (although I'm pretty sure the plague will devastate you no matter what), but yeah it would be nice if they also had noticeable effects on your characters disease resistance and recovery.

cKnoor posted:Just wanted to correct this, as there was a mistake in shipping we did not get all the bags that were planned (only 200 out of 2200) and had to resort to envelopes. No one is happy that it happened, but it was communicated at the convention. And it sucks that some people claim that the event team tried to cheapen the goodiebags when that was not the case. It also means we have like 2000 PDXCON2019 bags that we need to figure out what to do with back in Stockholm... Sounds like an opportunity for a huge Goon giveaway to me

I can see why it'd be really poo poo and you'd feel left out, it'd be like if everyone else was a smoker and went outside chatting and left you inside but it's a pretty hard thing to fix.

English is so widespread in Stockholm that I occasionally feel embarrassed. The only time Swedish is necessary is when you start getting sent bills and translations aren't provided, and the Swedish needed for that is something that goes far beyond the beginner's Hej, Tack, and Fan.

It should be pretty easy for PDX to counter any negative comparisons between CK2 and CK3. Most of the CK2 DLC was bolting on mechanics to allow you to play something other than the baseline Western Christian nation. PDX just need to say different religions and nations are baked into the model from the beginning, so all of that DLC is already in the game. The DLC will be to flesh out content for mechanics which every player already has which is basically what Johan was saying.

V for Vegas posted:PDX just need to say different religions and nations are baked into the model from the beginning Henrik said that on stage during the talk immediately after CK3 was announced. Every religion/nation is playable at launch except for republics. Of course it's debatable about whether this means Norse are meaningfully present, since I get the feeling 1066 will be the vanilla start date again.

I do kinda feel like the EU4 model that every religion should have its own gimmicks and playstyle is out of place in the game CK2 became eventually. Actually it's out of place in EU4 too!

It's really difficult to say "well culture should get these cool features" or "well religion should get these cool features" because the two are so completely linked, and linked further to the environment that it's like... idk, mix and match?

I'd say it fits better in CK2 than it does in EU4, since CK2 is dealing more closely with the people and how their internal power structures work. Feudal christian lords, muslim sultans, orthodox emperors, and pagan tribesmen all have pretty different power structures that involve dealing with people very differently, some of them don't even really jive with Crusader Kings's focus on following a single character and their direct progeny.Drone posted:Henrik said that on stage during the talk immediately after CK3 was announced.
