Quick question, does this shorted release cycle mean less time for community feedback and for the devs to iterate on their ideas based on what the community think of them? In the past it was planned to give updates earlier in the release schedule to give the community time to feedback about changes but this has seem to have disappeared in recent updates.

I prefer more spaced outs DDs, just cramping everything means I probably have to miss something.

I mean nobody forced anyone to buy it, personally I still like parts of it so if you don't like whats in the diaries/reviews don't purchase it.

Trial of Allegiance was not a horrible country pack, but i have to agree contents were rather lackluster and the tag was pricey
Weakest country flair in my humble opinion

If it helps, we have videos that summarize the information and shorts that provide a high-level summary if you don't have much time to read.

We begin releasing Developer Diaries October 3rd

Oof, that's... later than expected. But at least there is no uncertainty anymore, so thank you for the heads-up.

We currently plan to have two developer diaries per week, a weekly feature video, a biweekly stream and Q&A, and, of course, plenty of YouTube Shorts and other fun social media content related to the expansion.

Ok, not going to lie, that will help a lot in making up for the long waiting time.

Genuinely looking forward to it!

Was so excited to hear news about next DLC only to realise this literally just told me that I will be hearing the actual news in a month. Disappointed lmao my heart sank

We're structuring (or ordering, at least) this in a way that maximizes the time we will have to iterate on feedback.

Sounds like a very good plan. I was worried at first with October, but i guess dev diaries stretched over half a year like with No Step Back, where waiting took veeery long after the first one dropped, are not very viable.

Well I think the hype could be so much greater then with this buildup and not waiting a week for a dev diary only to get an art diary. Those are always the ones I skip. But now you can have just two days later a secondary weekly diary.

Very glad to have more info about the roadmap of the next dev diaries and the global development cycle (as well as the next War Effort patch): it changes from previous DLC so its intriguing and exciting to see how it will go.

Quick question though: do you have plans for the return of the teasers that arrived on the day before a dev diary? It always gave some sort of hype before the dev diary so I wonder if you wish to go back to this direction or not.

 

[Ringwraith_JP]

Oh, wow, people was so annoying that we've got a developer diary on developer diaries.

(even though I agree that communication was lacking a bit, this is funny lol)

"They want more dev diaries? We'll give 'em diaries..."

I still miss the regular tuesday posts and memes on Podcat's Twitter Teasers...

While i shared some of your sentiment, i prefer to let the devs work at the fullest for this one.

I never tired to express my disappointment that they decided to work on Germany again despite the almost constant updates received on the major patches, while Japan is still kinda left out not even with proper RK-style decisions like Germany had.

But rather than complaining as now is already too late, let's make sure that they did not their waste their time for this DLC so that they can work soon enough on Japan and Southeast Asia.

Faster job done for this major patch, bugfixing included with our inputs, the faster they would work on giving contents for Japan's long-neglected #1 target in the Pacific War.

I am not against mini teasers for whats coming next, so maybe?
