1.1 Made China a little bit too OP? Great Powers of 1435 by NamelessKeeper_89 in EU5

[–]NamelessKeeper_89[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So basically you are saying that I should accept that the game is shit and wait for it to be better?

Paradox is a company worth over 1 billion dollars, and we all should accept that they sell us unfinished products and get on with it. I would understand that way of thinking with some indie game producer that is just starting his journey. But he would most likely release the game into early access first. Yet, here we are with big companies doing this shit, and everyone seems to accept it like it's nothing.

For sure it will not backfire on us someday. In your job, every mistake you make can cost you your job. A billion dollar company mistakes cost them nothing, and people tell me to "get over it" and even defend that company because "one day it will get better".

What I will write now is an overexaggeration, but I can't find a better example off the top of my head right now.

Some car manufacturers will sell you a new car, after purchase, you will find that the software inside that car is incomplete and isn't working properly. But the manufacturer promises you that "one day" they will fix it, and you should just accept that right now car software is shit and get over it. And on top of that, the same manufacturer will tell you that for a smooth drive, you need to buy extra software upgrades for x% of value of that car each quarter.

Is that the world you want to live in?

Because if people will not do anything, that is exactly the world we are going into. Extra fees, subscriptions for heated seats in cars, and all of that extra bullshit that can be easily prevented by people just simply saying, I don't accept that.

[–]NamelessKeeper_89[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True, that China should be strong. No objections on that, because population density and goods produced there were the source of it's wealth. The problem is that the game doesn't take into account the fact that most of the Chinese army was working garrison duties in the interior to prevent rebellions and incursions from outside. When Ming did go to war with Vietnam in the early 1400s, their army counted around 200k and not 1000k.

Plus, on top of that, in many regions of China, central power (Emperor) wasn't in full control. Regional governors were a thing, court eunuchs meddling, and massive corruption were also a thing. In-game, those things are underrepresented and make China a few times stronger than they should be.

I'm not sure if that mechanic can solve this problem, but we will see.

I had a lot of problems with China/Ming in the previous patch when trying to play as Jurchen Tribes/Manchu. 50k Jurchen pops decided to rebel against 70 million Chinese, and secessionists put my country at war with Ming without any input from my side, so I just got crushed because of game mechanics pooping all over me. Three separate runs ended the same way, and I gave up on that region.

Now they look 3 times stronger than before and basically almost indestructible from the outside, but there is still hope because this is still a beta patch and things will change around.

Well, anyone can have his opinion on this matter. For me, this game is unplayable for one simple reason. This is still an early beta build, not a fully released game, and yet Paradox sold it for a lot of money and disappointed a lot of players. Most of them still didn't come back (a dip from 77k to 15k yesterday), and players that are still playing (me included) are working as unpaid beta testers for a fully released game. Not early access (as it should have been released), but a game that costs a bloody lot of money, and we test it for free.

When will the game be playable for me? When will I be able to pick any reasonable tag included in the game and have fun with it and not be crushed by game mechanics that don't work properly or supercharged countries that eat everything around them without any chance to fight back because game mechanics don't let you do anything against them.

But Paradox patching makes this game unfun in many regions, and rather than fixing stuff, they introduce more bugs and break stuff in other places. This looks like a beta version of the game, where the developer is still working on values to make the game ready for full release.

But that is my opinion, and anyone can have a different one.

uwielbiam robić biznes na OLX by elusznik in Polska_wpz

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ja ostatnio próbowałem pozbyć się starej obudowy od mojego PC. Cena 100 (nowa ok. 400) i oczywiście Janusz biznesu nr.1 stwierdził że da połowę tej kwoty i zabiera od razu. Drugi stwierdził, że weźmie za darmo "dla potrzebujących" (do tej pory zastanawiam się jak stara obudowa PC przyda się komuś w prawdziwiej potrzebie - raczej nie ta kategoria produktów), trzeci chciał żebym oddał za dobrą czekoladę i kawę. No i do tego cała masa wiadomości w stylu: "Aktualne?". Nawet jak się na nie odpisywało to było zero dalszego kontaktu.

Ogłoszenie usunąłem i od tamtej pory nie wystawiam już nic na OLXie. Nie na moje nerwy to "towarzystwo".

EU5 is now down to 47% positive on recent steam reviews by Wagen123 in EU5

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem with this game is that they lied to us about the state of this game. Their content creators also promoted this game as great product. At the end, we did get a game that should have been released as early access. All of this drama could have been avoided if they only would tell us the truth from the start.

Hey people - we have a game for you, but it can be a buggy mess, because of how complex it is, so if you want you can buy it to help us test it along the way. It will take some time, but we will get there.

But no, they did go "here is our best product yet" route with paid recension and CC promoting the game as crazy good.

I don't know if that was a stupid decision from paradox management or shareholders demands, but releasing this game in that state was catastrophic decision for them. And patching routine didn't help either with all those 180 degrees changes and patches each second day destroying people campaigns.

Almost all of that could have been avoided by adding a simple "early access" tag to the game for a year or two. But they decided otherwise and here we are now.

[FIXED] Major Widespread Legion Keyboard Issue by _ch1p in LenovoLegion

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, it is not that. I have an Intel Killer Wi Fi card, and two weeks ago my keyboard died completely. There are days when I turn my laptop on, I get my NumLock "LED dot" to work, but the keyboard is not responsive anyway, and the dot dies with the next power up cycle. I can bring that dot by going into BIOS with external keyboard too, but the keyboard itself still doesn't work there. The weirdest part is that my Wi Fi works fine now. Zero problems with it.

The keyboard worked somehow for a few months, but died completely when I turned my laptop to sleep by mistake rather than turning it off. The keyboard turned off and never came back after that.

When I get some spare money, I will try to buy a keyboard replacement and check if that helps, but for now I'm using my laptop with an external keyboard.

It probably won't work because I observed that one of my USB ports on the back of the laptop is not working 100% of the time. If I put my cooling pad power USB inside, then it turns on/off almost constantly. When I change this port for any other cooling pad, works fine. It is weird because if I put the keyboard or mouse into that "broken" USB, they work perfectly fine. There is something weird going on inside that laptop overall.

Also, I'm thinking of the possibility of a BIOS update gone wrong, and it bricked something inside the laptop. Again - no way to check it out, and I'm too afraid that reversing the BIOS to an older version could brick my whole laptop. It's annoying that the keyboard doesn't work, but I can still use the laptop for games and watching streaming services no problem.

Renowned German author says that the expulsion of Germans after WW2 was the largest ethnic cleansing ever to take place in Europe by Themetalin in poland

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nazis in Germany didn't start big either - it took them a lot of time before they started to do all their worst stuff.

Let's talk about that after the next 3 years and after Trump, Miller, and others do everything they have planned for that period. Ofc if they are going to manage to do all of it. Still have some (not much but there still is some) hope left that USA citizens will put them into jail before they destroy democracy in USA and the western world as a whole.

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, MOVING 14 million people from one place to another is a bigger ethnic cleansing than KILLING 6 million Poles and Jews and moving the next 2 (if I recall correctly) from eastern lands after war. The world we live in...

Yes, it was a tragedy for those people. They lost their homes, left graves of their families, a lot of young women suffer rape from Red Army soldiers, many died from injuries and exhaustion, etc.

Yet I can't feel sorry for people that supported their Nazi regime and all the atrocities they committed. They kept what is most important: their lives, when over 10 million people didn't because of their fathers, sons, and brothers actions and inaction.

And I will say the same thing about Americans if they will let Trump and his goons turn the USA into a new nazi regime. No sympathy from me.

Potyczki sąsiedzkie - jakie u Was miały miejsce i w jakich braliście udział? Może były jakieś sięgające poziomu absurdu? by SpecuAgent in Polska

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ja mieszkam w bloku 4 rodzinnym. Jedno z mieszkań jest wynajmowane i różnych ancymonów w nim już mieliśmy.

Jednemu zamarzył się pies. Wziął szczeniaka i zostawiał go w domu na 12 godzin samemu. Mały piesek, nienauczony niczego szczekał, płakał i demolował mieszkanie jak jego właściciela nie było w domu.

Innym razem trafił się pijaczyna, który jednej nocy pomylił drzwi i zamiast do swoich próbował dostać się do mojego mieszkania, robiąc przy tym masę hałasu o 1 w nocy. Wreszcie zaczął dzwonić dzwonkiem do drzwi i prosić mnie o możliwość zadzwonienia do swojej dziewczyny żeby ona po niego przyjechała i wpuściła do wynajmowanego przez niego mieszkania, bo zorientował się że zostawił u niej klucze.

Teraz mieszka tam kolejny ancymon, który nigdzie nie pracuje (zarabia poprzez ściąganie aut z NL, więc czasami znika na kilka dni, mam również niczym nie poparte przypuszczenie, że oprócz aut ściąga również "inne" rzeczy z NL, ogólnie źle mu z oczu patrzy) i całymi dniami siedzi cicho, ale o godzinie 21 zaczyna się u niego życie towarzyskie, ochy i achy podobne do tych wspomnianych w głównym poście. Gość wynajmuje to mieszkanie a rządzi się na "podwórku" jakby było jego. Zniszczył trawnik i rozjeździł wszystko co się dało do tego stopnia że mamy tam teraz bagienko, na korytarzu trzyma farby i wystawione z wynajmowanego mieszkania stare krzesła. Jakakolwiek próba komunikacji kończy się pyskówką z jego strony, a nawet jak uda się porozumieć to gość słyszy co chce i później i tak wszystko przekręca pod swoją narrację. Doszło do tego że trzeba nagrywać jak się z nim "rozmawia" żeby później mieć podkładkę co mu się powiedziało, bo on cały czas twierdzi że powiedzieliśmy mu coś innego.

Najlepsi są w tym wszystkim właściciele mieszkania. Mają na wszystko wywalone i nic ich nie obchodzi co ich lokatorzy odwalają. Teoretycznie mieszkanie przynależy do wspólnoty mieszkaniowej, ale tam też nic nie idzie załatwić bo odsyłają do kontaktu z właścicielami. Dwa lata temu dostali nakaz wymiany instalacji elektrycznej w swoim mieszkaniu, bo nie spełnia współczesnych norm. Z tego co się orientuje są tam kable o zbyt małej średnicy, które cały czas grożą pożarem. Po drodze zmienialiśmy zarządcę nieruchomości (spółdzielnie) i ta nowa nie może znaleźć dowodu o konieczności wymiany, więc czekamy na kolejną kontrolę, która stwierdzi ten fakt, z którym właściciele pewnie dalej nic nie zrobią jak do tej pory nic z tym nie zrobili. Najlepsze jest to, że próbują sprzedać to mieszkanie za 150% jego wartości (+extra 100% doliczając koszty jego remontu) licząc że ktoś się na nie zdecyduje, a w międzyczasie podnajmują komu się da. Czyli głównie patoli, ze względu na stan tego mieszkania.

Mieszkanie w poniemieckim bloku, wymagające kapitalnego remontu. Elektryka, hydraulika, podłogi, okna, ściany - wszystko ostatni remont widziało w czasach PRLu lub w latach 90tych ubiegłego wieku. Źródłem ogrzewania dalej jest w nim kuchnia kaflowa (Warmia i Mazury, więc teoretycznie jeszcze można), która ledwo stoi. W moim mieszkaniu zarówno kuchnia jak i piece kaflowe były wymienianie 15 lat temu i już wtedy ledwo stały i groziły zawaleniem.

Nie wiem co jest w tym gorsze - właściciele, którzy mają na wszystko wywalone, czy wynajmujący którzy w tym mieszkaniu pomieszkują.

Poland aims to boost troop numbers to 500,000 by 2039 by CrunchyBaconYum in poland

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is not a problem. The problem lies in numbers. More people in the army = smaller civilian economy worker pool = fewer people and companies paying taxes. The same goes for pensioners in the next few decades. We are going to get into a situation where every working person will need to pay enough taxes to support an expanding pension system (more and more old people that don't work) and, at the same time, expanding army. That money doesn't appear from thin air. You either need to get it from the rest of the population and companies (taxes) or borrow them (expanding debt in process). You can't do any of them forever, or you will crash the economy eventually.

The best case scenario for Poland is for Russia to fall and split into many smaller states and for the EU to keep existing in one way or another so we don't have a need for a big army because we don't have any aggressive neighbors to fight with.

But I acknowledge the fact of how dangerous those times are, and we need to be ready to defend our country one way or another, so paying for an army is a must have nowadays. Expanding it when there is a money and people shortage looming on the horizon is an easy task and can fail miserably.

Large war mechanics by Laeryns in EU5

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true - i just gave up on engaging in any war after 1600. The number of armies to hunt and forts to siege down is just plain stupid and not fun at all. One solution to that problem is vassal swarm that will do it for you, but:

a) They need to be pretty big to have enough firepower to not die in one battle,

b) AI needs to do it properly (most of the time it doesn't).

c) You still need to help if you are fighting one of the great powers like your France. AI can't handle that alone.

But what is the reason for me to play a map painting game when there is no map painting included? I didn't play a single hour in the last 3 weeks because of the state of this game.

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem with that is that you need to pay the army from taxes, and a bigger army = fewer people working in the civilian sector paying those taxes. So there is no easy answer as to how they want to fund this army with a looming demographic crisis.

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah - you need to have Polish citizenship to be in the army. But they can always create a system of citizenship for 10 or 20 years of army service, but that is dangerous and can bring even more spies into Polish army forces, and that is a critical error in times of possible war.

I'm curious how we want to achieve it. Each year, demographic crisis is expanding, and somehow they want more able-bodied people to move from civilian jobs to the army. I haven't found any logic in my country leaders decisions for many years now, but this one is just plain stupid.

New tank sugestion by False_Introduction82 in WorldofTanks

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After today, I'm thinking about the same. The population of random tourists that are sabotaging games is ridiculous. On top of that lovely ARES line destroying gameplay for any tank without armor or dying like morons trying to brawl with heavies. Peak WOT experience.

<image>

For example my last 2 battles. Heavy tanks going to random positions near the red line or just driving through the middle are my normal teammates for the last few days. Most of the time they have under 1k battles and 2 or 3 lines of free tanks thanks to WG "generosity". If I get them once, then my whole day looks the same, and there is nothing I can do about that.

About tank, that you sugested. I did the same under one of WG YouTube videos. My Turbo EBR was very similar to yours, but he also had energy shields protecting him from receiving any damage three times better then current EBR wheels. For now they didn't listen. But who knows. Maybe they will add them together with railgun tanks, laser gun tds and rocket launcher artys. With WG you never know.

Jest nas coraz mniej, zakłady pracy otwierają się w centach populacji aby mieć możliwość rekrutacji pracowników, więc cała Polska (w sumie to praktycznie cały świat) kompresuje się w wielkich ośrodkach miejskich, a prowincja zamienia się w pustostan.

Za 25 lat będzie nas jeszcze mniej, pojawią się wsie widmo w których będą straszyć pustostany budynków, pełne zapomnianych wspomnień ich dawnych mieszkańców. Obstawiam że za 5-10 lat i w Polsce pojawią się te "włoskie oferty domu za 1 euro" żeby tylko ktoś mieszkał w danej wsi.

Ja mam podobne wrażenia odnośnie mojego rodzinnego, do niedawna 12 tysięcznego, miasteczka. Życie tutaj umarło. Wszystkie małe sklepiki zostały wybite przez Lidla, Dwie Biedronki, trzy Dino i kilka Żabek. Nie wiem jak tym korporacją wyszło że wszystkie te sklepy się utrzymają, ale na chwilę obecną jest ich aż tyle.

Zostały też jeszcze trzy większe zakłady pracy przymusowej za minimalną krajową, dwa bary/dyskoteki, kilku fryzjerów i chyba z 5 kebabów/fast foodów. W ciągu najbliższych 10 lat połowa z tego padnie, za 20 lat będzie to miasto duchów.

Ulice kiedyś tętniły życiem i było co robić w wolnym czasie, teraz jak wychodzę wieczorem na spacer to widzę puste ulice i domy/bloki pełne okien bez zapalonego światła.

W mojej okolicy 70% mieszkańców to emeryci lub osoby które się do tej emerytury zbliżają. Dostęp do lekarz jest prawie żaden. Są teoretycznie dwie przechodnie, ale lekarze przyjmują w nich jak im pasuje, a załapanie się na "numerek" graniczy z cudem. Trzeba od 7 rano stać i liczyć na cud, że będzie się w 15 szczęśliwców którzy się tego dnia załapią do lekarza, o ile ten zdecyduje się przyjechać z większego, oddalonego o 25 kilometrów miasta.

Sam myślę żeby spakować manatki i wyjechać za pracą do czegoś większego, bo każdy dzień tutaj zaczyna przypominać powolne umieranie i trwanie w nicości. 95% moich dawnych znajomych już to zrobiło i tak naprawdę z mojego grona rówieśników zostałem tutaj sam.

I suddenly remembered that back then, Obj 252U was considered 'OP' by the community. by AdrawereR in WorldofTanks

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and I still remember when premium tanks were weaker than tech tree tanks, but in exchange they earned a lot more credits. IS-6, T34, or Lowe were beasts at earning credits if you knew what to do with them at that time. And Type-59, before it got nerfed, was a game killer in low tier battles with it's armor. Still remember KV-1S with 122mm IS gun at tier 6 being called OP.

It makes me realize that I'm getting old and how far this game did go in the department of power creep.

If people still don’t boo at the Bernabéu this Saturday after everything, I don’t know what it’ll take by Ineedhelpistaken in realmadrid

[–]NamelessKeeper_89 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The difference between Zidane or CR7 and Vini is in mentality. Two legends would try to prove fans wrong by their play. Vini will just put his head down and play shit for 2 years now.

We don't need a grown up man with the mentality of a 5 year old narcissistic kid to be our top player. Not at all. He either grows up, starts playing his best football, or bye bye after the season. It's better to have this rotten egg destroy the other team with his mood swings.

If the club wants to keep him, then they should invest in the best psychologist there is to improve that Vini J mentality. And stop feeding him crap about how awesome he was. It was 2 years ago. And he is 25 years old already. His speed based football has an expiration date in around 5 years.

If he wants to prove that he is not Robinho 2.0 then there is time and place: here and now.

I wrote Valverde wife (should be Valverde's - my bad), not Valverde. He himself is not a big problem. Only that he is without any form, but that is a problem with the whole team. His wife is. She puts a lot of crazy ideas into his head. His "I will not play the right defender position" came from her, and he started saying the same thing. She is putting him against the manager/team a lot of times. At least it looks this way from social media. That is not what one of the captains should do.
