    it doesnt matter then, cause in both cases if there is a dead scenario he'll die.

    It's better to let him die trying everything then to let him die trying 1 thing.

    and what we are doing right now isnt anything big or game changing it's fixing and added small things that dont have a huge impact.

    Jesus fuck Paradox, I knew you were a bit dumb at times but this is an entirely new level for you. I cannot even get my head around this level of stupid, it physically causes me pain to even try. Just stop.

    how am I wrong here? I mean you shouldnt let new players test testpires, let them test finishedpires.

    Grant his metaphore is perfect for what I'm trying to say, explain to me how it is wrong.

    Because a new player sees BUGS that we don't see, because we're used to that. How difficult is that to understand, seriously? The whole point of "finishedpires" is that it's fucking finished, it isn't being changed. New players have an untainted view of the game and can give genuine feedback, especially with regard to things that would be more intuitive. You don't wait until it's too late to change to do that.

    Seriously just, what Paradox. You are not this stupid, not even you. Just stop.

    you can draw conclusions by both monitoring banana-newbies and banana-vets. difference is banana-vets will try to peel the banana like banana-vets always peeled bananas, so you cant test if banana-newbies are getting banana-vets faster banana.
    if you mean to design a banana which is physically easier to peel you can measure that, you dont need banana-peeling people at all. actually you probably get better results by leaving them out as much as you can bc humans always are biased when it comes to bananas.

    So you want to throw a noob in a test version of empires to look for bugs that are both in testpires as in oldpires? That sounds stupid bro.

    there arent any major changes in testpires they are all pretty small the core empires is still the same as oldempires so let them play oldempires to find bugs instead of testpires cause testpires only happens once a month, I dont get why you cant understand that. He can play oldempires everyday to check for bugs and what not instead of once a month for testpires that's basicly the same with small bugfixes and other small things.

    The metaphore still stands.

    Everything after the op needs to be removed. No point in seeing anything after that.
