Who's buying Diplomacy

The beta is still obviously, a beta. There's going to make more features that should hopefully improve multiplayer, such as feed research. I'm going to buy diplomacy when it comes out, but I haven't preordered.

Already bought it, may stay with it

the first round of beta never goes great

will have to see what the devs are proposing with the update tomorrow

In the end everyones gonna be playing in Diplomacy expansion and the entrenchment players will probably be forced to buy diplomacy anyway, if they want to play with people on multiplayer.

Well it was only 10$ just like the entrenchment expansion so why not?

It sounds great for single-player, but personally I'd like MP to be more "fleet based" instead of "diplomacy based" so I may decline.  But who knows.

I probably will, but as yet I'm undecided.

I've already pre-ordered.

But catching me in a public game has about the same odds as finding a purple needle in a stack of blue needles.

Im not buying until promised lum horfix will apeare

Already bought it.  I tried the beta and it's interesting, but I'm waiting until the final release to really get into it. 

edit - and more recently, I lernd how 2 spel

Already got it

I am betting you would buy it since, every one is going to get it, all of the mods are going merge onto it, all of the multi-people are going with dipolmacy, you are going to have no choice but to get dipolomacy

Yes for sure those people who want to play in multiplayer will buy diplomacy

But so far what i like about diplomacy is that there are more profile pictures now.

"will have to see what the devs are proposing with the update tomorrow" Ryat.

Yea, good news.

The buffed pirates kick butt. I needed star base and full emergency facilities to repell attacks. Great training for cap ships, if you keep them near a repair bay.

Playing a game with everything set to slow. I'm finding uncolonized planets with no defenders near the AIs home worlds. No sense in my colonizing it, what with the credit/resource shortages and devastating pirate attacks. My fleets are busy devasting home worlds and taking choke points.

I will get both of the explansions when they are (if ever) available in a box. I just like having disks. Otherwise I am still having plenty of fun with vanilla.

It would be cool to have diplomatic incidents that involve trade offs with which you have to deal. Another idea is to have a galactic UN (like in galciv2) wich regulary meets and can impose sanctions and has a separate army (kind of pirates) to restore peace and stability.

After the first beta they mentioned they'ed update so I was pretty excited, but after this update I'm wishing I didn't pre order. To me they are going in the wrong direction. Diplomacy isn't adding any great game changing mechanics. Just adding to the same types of gameplay. They really needed to add different victory conditions, and different ways of achieving victory. Instead they've just enhanced what's already there. 

2 years after release, I want something game changing, not game enhancing. 

Personally, I don't have any interest in Diplomacy.  However, if the bulk of the online multiplayer crowd buys it and plays it exclusively then I'll have little choice but to purchase it if I want to keep playing online.

I am hoping that online players can get together and agree NOT to get it for two reasons.  (1) From what I can tell, it's not going to do much to appreciably improve the online game and might worsen the game.  (2) It will just further subdivide the online multiplayer community.  I don't see how it's going to be good for us.

This latest update will change the way teams play with one another.

I now definitely recommend getting it.

Great Work Devs!

it will be. sometime next year. LOOOONG wait tho.

EDIT: just found this: https://forums.stardock.com/371186 Its Sins of a Solar Empire - Trinity. (the all 3 bundle). Pre-orders online and can be storebought Feb. 9. not that far ahead actually. i really wish i didnt hav sins yet just to get the box! (it looks sweeter than very sweet candy) Sadly, $40 is 2 much for a sweet ass box...my heart crys out.

I have pre-ordered diplomacy. 1) Because I like Sins of a Solar Empire SP as well as multi-player and anything that adds to the game play is fine by me especially for $10.00 (sadly I've purchased worse for more money). 2) If the game continues to show support with the last expansion then hopefully it will lead to a Sins of a Solar Empire 2. I do agree though the current beta is kinda bland, but I'm hoping it improves by release time.

The Entrenchment beta caused brain damage. It was that bad.

Diplomacy beta 2 is crazy good in comparison.

Already pre-ordered it myself, and although I haven't gotten much time to really play it since DLing it, I really liked how it looks like things will be functioning.  Pretty sure I'll be playing DS through it regularly once both are out and stable.

Entrenchment caused brain damage?  Almost makes me pity that I wasn't around to be part of that, I can't help but wonder just how bad it had to be for that.  Heh.  But considering how it turned out in the end, that bodes well for Diplomacy!

I definitely will be.

I respect your efforts to improve the online community, I really do; but this kind of contradicts the whole 'lets make the online community more friendly' thing.  Diplomacy adds options to the game, even to locked team games, and will presumablely curb the game-ruining 'feed' strategy.  If nothing else it will make the pirates an interesting part of the game again, seeing as everyone just turns them off these days because they're useless fodder.  And the online community wants to boycott over this?!  No offence, but it sounds like you just don't like change.  It you had some genuine concerns over the expansion, or it cost $30 or something I could understand; but all this is doing is overhauling the much neglected diplomacy aspect of the game and pirates.  And it costs $10.  For anyone who still plays Sins even a few times a month this is pretty much a no-brainer purchase.  If the ICO community does not want to change, that's their choice.  But don't expect anyone to take your 'why not try online?' posts seriously anymore.

Already pre-ordered it, can't wait for the final release

The pacts are quite interesting.

I also pre-ordered it. I am not playing it yet though. Seems to become good, i.p. as I like better diplomacy. I hope the ai and combat will get more balanced as well.

Diplomacy is awsome
