Plagued /r/TNOmod and the Reddit HOI4 modding community - When a subreddit for a video game mod turns to utter insanity

[Ryona420]

We shit on TNO but what's the consensus on TRO? Its double-blind what if, basically the Fuhrereich to TNO's KR.

Personally I will feel like it might never see the light of day. I remember them being hungry for coders and got invited to join them for a mini-second before getting banned for something I have no idea what. But I mostly say this since Panzer had to kick retards into high gear to at least release TNO. No idea if TRO will even release.

It doesn't really have much to offer than the actual IRL Cold War.

I disagree. Maybe not with gameplay no. See we mock TNO devs and its writing here a lot but I wanna see them fully on maxo autism. Since we've seen their commie sympathies. I wanna see their unfiltered dogshit takes in a world where the Soviets still won like in real life.

I'm surprised this is even alive. Another toozer mod if you ask me. Besides, there's a serious lack of innovation when it comes to mod scenarios, do we really need another cold war mod?

Makes me miss the days when everything was an alt-WWII.

I remember them banning me from their discord years ago for some reason. I tried going on it again recently and I'm still banned.

We already have Cold War: Iron Curtain, and that mod works just fine. CW:IC just needs more development time and polish.

What CWIC needs more than anything is a guy willing to write, not even code, just write things. Write news events, write focus descriptions, leader descriptions, things of that sort, so that you don't feel as if you were playing an alpha. They have good foundations, but they haven't make good use of them, and their development cycle seems to have stagnated a lot, the Red China update was supposed to come around the middle of this year and there's nothing, they just don't have the manpower to do things

Speaking of CWIC, they are doing a Rhodesia focus tree.

Yeah, I agree. If I knew more about HOI4 modding, I'd offer to do it myself. Even just some basic descriptions, nothing too fancy or eloquently posed, just servicable. They should also add in Tank/Aircraft designers like what Millenium Dawn did for modern vehicles, since that feature's become standard.

That, and there's some bugs they desperately need to patch, like how once the clock rolls to the 1960s if you try to edit two different Naval designs in a row, the game crashes. Alongside the game massively slowing once the 1960s roll around, and sometimes it just crashes after 1 day upon loading a save game.

Fina-fuckin'-lee. I hope they default it to be "Rhodesian" instead of "Zimbabwean", since unlike "Zimbabwe", Rhodesia is an actual place with real history. They should make it way less obtuse to get to Rhodesia from the 1949 start, as well.

 

[Happy Camper]

I'm surprised this is even alive.

It must be a nightmare to work on to be fair if they're actually sticking to the double-blind alt history setting given how often the universe it's based on has its lore rebooted. If it released and had gameplay and a progression resembling what TNO looked like when development started then it'll eventually become impossible to tell that it was based on TNO at some point. Imagine working on a parallel to something for years only to be told that thing was reworked because of some political drama over at the main team.

Wasn't that China one not coming out due to the aforementioned drama we mentioned of how their literal CCP Chink devs were bullying the other Gooks and Slants on their server into making a China numbah wan! wank? Also think SWF holds it back a lot since I mentioned this before but supposedly he wrested the mod away from its original creators WAAAAAY back and given the IRL photos of him and his personality. Is your typical retard who cares more about attention then making a game.

More trouble in paradise. Seems a lot of people are talking about how TNO is getting more toozerish with all their reworks. Of them this comment in particular shows more braincells then the average TNO player.

Replied with a lot of yapping from a TNO dev.

Which BTW none of this is even reworked focus trees or even in-depth narrative events about lesbians a TNO fav. No this is all skeleton content they can't work out probasbly cause if I had to guess, TNO devs are retarded and fight over "the lore"

People get downvoted for it being unfun. Italy being very disappointed as the whole point of them is they areas useless as they were in WW2 and need to latch onto another power (mostly America) to stay relevant.

The people of TNO are getting a bit more uppity.

Don't like it? Just make your own or stop playing it chuddy? Though I remember this fanbase in particular having a strong stance against reduxes.

Last image I swear. I know that TVtropes has some of that stuff listed still. One of the good things its for. Honestly someone may want to save that. I have a feeling TNOdevs may try to ban old dev diaries and images of old stuff in orde5r to make themselves look good. The old Panzerite stuff must be washed away for the TNO cultural revolution.

You can tell that there's been a lot of conditioning of the community with all the bans and deletions that everyone replying to this feel the need to prefix everything by groveling and ensure the devs that they still love before suggesting that they may not be perfect. When the devs explain something they either insult the fans or make up some story about how the rework wasn't just over dev team politics. It is what you say: devs fighting over lore and the "realism" clique always wins in the end. And as the last guy says, unfortunately it's only realistic from our world's point of view, not the in-game one.

 

[Nigger Cobson]

For these retards, "realism" is just a code word for "NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T HAVE FUN PLAYING AS KIKE GASSING NIGGER KILLING NAZI CONFEDERATE MAGA KLANSMEN, YOU NEED TO BE SPOONFED ABOUT HOW NAZISM IS BAD AND WILL INEVITABLY FAIL AND HOW LUXURY TRANS BREADTUBE ANARCHO-COMMUNISM IS THE BEST IDEOLOGY EVER!!11!!1"

Someone a bit ago mentioned this but TNO devs are retarded since what people remember about the game is stuff like Tabby, Hyperborea, Kishi, Burgundy, Glenn, Direlwagner, etc. People care more about that then their autistic and retarded other stuff. To just give a comparison look at Philip Hart the guy who replaced Glenn? I can count on one hand (since its zero) the people who mention or talk about him compared to Glenn going to Mars or fixing Nasa.

Never touched Hart but he seems so boring and he was an idea that the VotePig faggot (the one who is a big pusher for a lot of lore rewrites) suggested they add. The only good idea I like is Pyhlyis Schfay since she is just 1970s moral majority retard lady but I am down for that since it seems like something Panzer would have had. I can't beleive I am saying this but Panzer we mocked and made fun of but he had a vision. One that they keep trying to ruin.

As another guy here put it there was one of the many Direlwagner events where a sledgehammer wielding Babushka challenges him to a duel and bonks him to death with it. While silly its the tone the mod should have gone for. Being grimdark since extremism one out but also being a bit absurdist and silly like a HOI4 40K. That not only is it clear paths like Hyperborea are enjoyed, more people and even the "sane" paths should be a bit absurdist and silly. The mod should basically be more like Kaiserredeux basically is what I feel. As even America the bastion of democracy due to having literal Chinese tier treaty ports should be working on "Jap Melter 3000". Hell if they like soy so much have an event about a failed attempt to make a robot who is clearly just Liberty Prime but with an anti-Japanese bent.

So, I've done Hart runs, and he's basically LBJ but on steroids. You have a small UI that deals with something called the URI (Urban Renewal Initiative), and the whole focus tree revolves around you passing laws and doing focuses that make it so that it gives you buffs. The thing is that around late 1970 or so Hart fucking dies of cancer, so you have his VP, Chep, take over and try to make it so that the URI doesn't get defanged, which is done using a rather boring and simple minigame

Through ban waves, the only opinions you'll see on the public reddit are from freelancer lackeys who do the admin's job of damage control for free. Content X is getting removed? Ah no problem, it was always shit and we disliked it, we're glad it's getting cut so we don't get distracted from waiting for future updates. It's just like waiting for Alexei to come back!

This is what replaced the concept of landing a human on Mars to own the Nazis?

 

[winderson_silva]

I dont get the Men argument, so what the region is empty on real life? We are explicitly told Siberia industrialized higher in this timeline, theres countless refugees that moved to the east. Nothing stop the devs from saying the region now got people.

Hope the SBA can still crownfund nukes, because mother anarcy and lgbt people> stupid Oppenheimer needing a city cized factory to produce the energy for the project
