    I get that, I have been playing since 2016 on and off. I have played multi-player twice with a close friend and both times we tried to take over the galaxy together but then failed at fighting all the fallen empires. Good times and never felt like I had to get it all right to have a perfect build. I dont even do that still because if I wanted to meta game then I would take away the fun of role-playing the Geth from Mass Effect or something else I've done.

For civilizations you don't necessarily need to "dominate" to be succesfull and more of then than not when I would roleplay I wouldn't necessarily be the "top dog" as it requires to give up some other elements.

    Yeah I'm nearly 600 hours in (520 hours now) and I've only played one single multiplayer game, with a friend who had no experience, and was mostly doing dumb stuff the entire time. Like naming his empire things I can not say without being executed, but that's like every friend group chat. I almost never liked multiplayer, in general, because of the competition and repetitive anger/sadness caused by it. Take shooter games as an example, no real big point, just run around and shoot anyone else... and that is what makes it feel kind of empty to me. Even in stellaris games, it seems like most people want to punch each other in the face to get that sweet sweet victory that barely matters in the long run except for making you feel accomplished in a way. Sorry if there are run-on sentences, and I also apologize for saying this a year late. I love co-op and singleplayer games, but competitive stuff makes me stress out.

    I think its because Stellaris has such a good singleplayer experience most people wont make the jump. Most people wont go through the effort of finding a group of people to play with, scheduling a time to play with them, plus im sure alot of people don't want to play without that pause button. I would highly recommend people to push Stellaris with their main friend group, even if you don't think they would like it. I convinced / taught a bunch of my friends to play and we have a blast playing together.

    Yeah, the pause button is needed to not sweat your ass off micromanaging your planets (because I don't trust full automation). Thankfully I just play with my friend and we can each hit the pause button or fuck with the speed of time whenever we need to. If I were to organize with a larger server I think I'd need to make a rule where every interval of at least a few years we pause the game and allow ourselves to unfuck the planets we've been neglecting for one reason or another.

Your starting location is imbalanced, there are people who will spawn with mega structures, with more planets, with more resources on these planets, you might start next to someone while someone else starts far away and safe. looking at every other paradox game you dont have this problem, you know where you start, you know how strong you are, diplomacy and stratedgy are key to the early, game in stellaris you cant even do diplomacy

    With my first stepdad we reconnected couple years back, and I got him hooked on Stellaris like really bad(he was super big into CIV). And we've been bonding more as we started doing our own private multiplayer campaign. Next session we'll be on our 13th session. It has honestly been some of the most fun I've had. One of the things I told him we wont do PvP because as i told him candidly "Why turn the game into a single player game if i take him out, the galaxy is already freaking huge enough to deal with(medium galaxy). It's been interesting playing the game to at a 95% unpause state and honestly didn't think I could actually do to, we played on slow, then had to increase to normal when the game got into its mid game year. I recommend to at least try it with like minded people, it really is doable if you understand the fundamentals. Only trade off it becomes dangerous trying to read events so thats the one trade if you haven't atleast seen most of the games content before.

    I play Stellaris either for the in-game stories, or to RP a certain kind of empire. Neither is too viable in multiplayer. Even if you agree on some rules, your opponent might have a better RP build, or they find better stuff than you, and then your playthrough is cut in half. What I would enjoy in multiplayer would be an in-depth combat system, including intricate system on both strategic and tactical level, maybe even action. But after years we're not even close to that, just look at how much time they needed to try and balance weapons. Plus why would I want to match my skills with others, if the starting conditions and the whole playthrough is completely different? So ye, Stellaris PvP just doesn't make sense to me from a gameplay experience perspective, or a PvP perspective. But that's just me, I'm gald to see you guys having fun in it.

    I usually only play multiplayer with IRL friends (if we all want) as we prefer the RP style of play and feel comfortable in familiar company. In addition, it is difficult for me to imagine how to play one session with random people - because sessions in Stellaris usually last for too long. With friends we can play one session for days (usually we end when defeat the endgame crisis or before it gets too boring). Than we meet again at the appointed time every day to continue, and we can always reschedule if someone could not come or drop it for another time if someone unexpectedly needs to leave. Coordinating such nuances with strangers for me looks very uncomfortable and complicated.

    I don't find competitive multiplayer fun because I think reading about the meta and then trying your best to apply it as quickly as possible in order to get the admiration of the people who just tried to do the exact same thing is just not creative enough for me. I'm glad Paradox is shaking up the meta with recent patches, but there's still a long way to go before we get to a situation when more than three builds and a couple of playstyles are viable for any given patch. It's just too limiting for me. And I know there's RP servers, but all it takes is one asshole to ruin your entire evening (whether it's the host or another player), and it happens all too often, and I'd like to avoid that. In the mean time, I have more than 30 custom made empires in my roster that I've played from start to finish in SP (plus many, many more that I tried but abandoned), and I typically play until year 2500 or 2600 on a huge galaxy. I could never get bored of that, especially since they release new stuff to try out every few months.

    I do play multiplayer, but I only host. I started with public roleplay lobbies and was so impressed by how it went that after a short while I started making my own. Taking after one of my first roleplay experiences; I refused to ever enforce any 'game rules' because I was upset with how they protected certain playstyles. I enforce casual but serious roleplaying games and that's it. And with some basic marketing like colouring the tags, using the name of the server to tell the players how long they will be waiting in the lobby, and creating a Discord server specifically to tell other roleplayers when a game starts I generally get large and relatively friendly lobbies quickly without having to wait an hour... (Half the wait times comes from me not being able to pick an empire anyways.) I can't go back to playing with rules, it's anarchy all the way.

    @@orokinchi Most roleplay games I've done were a mix of PvE and PvP. Serious roleplay for me means that you dedicate yourself to your empire and avoid breaking characters, it also means sometimes making dumb decisions because that's what your leader or culture would do. You do have to speak with a lot of people, I have to hype up the chat before the game to bait them into social interactions, because Stellaris players are uncomfortably quiet. For me the only customs are that you dedicate yourself to your empire, even if it means being a jerk to everyone else. I don't believe in 30 year peace. PvE is entirely different than roleplay, though once made a unique PvE mode where all the players have to unite against an insanely powerful total war empire that quickly becomes the crisis.

    I think the problem is that multiplayer is only fun if you're winning, because losing is such a frustrating experience in this game. The best multiplayer games can be fun even if you end up losing, stellaris isn't like that. Unless you roleplay with friends, that is. The process of losing all your precious fleets and then your planets is just pure pain without silver linings.

    The one consistent thing about multiplayer is that your opponents have already optimized the fun out of the game. There is almost always a meta that, if you don't follow one yourself, will result in either an instant game over or a slow death. The beauty of SP is that you can learn the game without getting steamrolled on year 50, and you can go with ridiculous/unoptimized RP builds and still win. In my opinion, the ability to mess around and still come out on top is what makes any game fun, but especially in Stellaris' case since you're given an insane amount of tools to build your empire the way you always envisioned.

I had all the dlc packs other than humanoid which didn't matter at the time since back then it was just a picture pack. We were all pretty shit at the game but we had no restrictions. Fight or make friends with whoever you want whenever you want, the only rule we had was no pregame teaming (you had to wait to find each other in game before deciding to team up) and man was it a blast you had my friend making a civilization based off of the Geico gecko (he was super hyped for megacorps) I had a friend who was going assimilator (we usually killed him pretty early since if you didn't kill him hed be overpowered in 4 decades) and I was playing as the glorious Imperium of Man (imperial cult, distinguished admiral's with fanatical spiritualist) max out the difficulty and there ya go. Multiplayer Stellaris is something else, I would heavily suggest giving it a shot if you haven't already. Like Endless Space 2, the risk of desync is constant, but if you get lucky and get a real stable connection, you might be able to play the game in one sitting! Glhf out there and remember, if you see someone abusing the meta, there is nothing wrong with forming a nonaggression pact with those around you and tag teaming the meta slave into the galactic dust!

    I’d say roughly about half of my play time in stellaris is MP and SP Admittedly in those MP games it’s mostly just with the same friend group, and they for the most part are decent folk but they admittedly have a bit of a commitment issue and in all of the time that they have played stellaris I think they have made roughly 100 different games/empires but have played maybe 5 of them to completion, if they they they are going to loose they just quit, but more often then not they just get bored, which is fair, I can understand liking the early game as there is definitely much more to do. But in my experience what I’d argue is the largest issue with stellaris MP is mods, an absolutely integral part of the game that is partially responsible for why it’s existed for so long. But trying to play stellaris MP with mods is an absolute headache due to how archaic the launcher is, as to my understanding you absolutely have to have the exact same game version (IE your mods have to be 100% the same and in the same order I think) and while that alone isn’t necessarily an issue as you could always just play with a small mod list to try and make things easier that won’t always help as sometimes despite having literally everything be in the exact same load order, do a little dance and do a sacrifice to the old ones sometimes your game version is different for no clear reason. Sometimes verifying your files, unsubscribing and resubscribing to all of your mods, and or beating your machine to a pulp can work, sometimes that still doesn’t work. And yes we have tried that third party launcher I forget the name of and it worked for a bit, but even then that bugged out.

    Back in the start it was very popular for a time. Until thanks to me the entire community got knowledge of an exploit, that allowed to basically "win". It basically meant, that you could build any number of ships for the cost of the no component version. Which means a "small" 30% cheaper in early game, and up to 90% in lategame. After basically forcing the entire community, that isn't roleplay had to use it the dev. team decided, that it is too harmful to multiplayer to ignore it.

    My group of 3-5 only plays multiplayer privately because we like a certain selection of mods - which keep breaking. x_x It's a bit of a nightmare just coordinating time with each other, never mind with strangers on a discord. Also, unless you have exactly the same mods in exactly the same order, you cannot see modded servers. Odds are you're only seeing a fraction of the number of multiplayer games actually active at any given time because of that.

    I only ever played co-op multiplayer lol. Usually it goes like this: I build a really massive army that can demolish the AI but can barelly keep it afloat due to bad economic management, one friend builds the second bigger army but can actually sustain it, the rest of the friends get too behind they are demolished by the IA if we are too far to help. BTW the unfun part still there, we can't play at speed 3 because someone always fall behind, and even at slower ones eventually it will just happen. Last game 2 friends lost entire fleets because of this and quit.

The "battleship finally learn they have to run away" and "attack angle of L slot didn't work on battleship" make this happen, the L slot battleship can easily trolling unbidden. On the another hand, while fighting the starbase, the X slot battleship will fire only 1~2 shot of there X slot weapon and than never use them again cause the fire angle, and they just keep turning around the unbidden protal gate……

So its 2496 days (59904 hours) old aproximately. So since release you need to play 7 hour each day for 7 years minimum with not a single break to hit 17.472 hours. (7x2496=17.472 ) and you need abit more to hit 18.000. 7.2 hours per day is more precise (7.2x2496=17971) Okay im proberly not the best at math ... but IF i have done it right .. then i dont beleave you (unless you let it run while afk/sleeping) :P

    My friend group dabbled in Stellaris multiplayer for a little bit. We never did PvP, probably because, as has been mentioned in the video/comment section, we like making RP empires. I think the big reason we stopped playing, besides just drifting towards other games, was how difficult it started getting to make our checksums to match. We never play Paradox games vanilla, and somehow, when they rolled out the new launcher, it just got exponentially harder to get everyone on the same checksum in a group of 4+ people.

    I remember one session I attended on PDXCon. I was really into the stellaris at that time, but never played real multi-player game. So the experience was pretty fresh. So I decided to play as peaceful megacorp. Well, reality hit me real fast. So basically lobby consisted of 3 lithoids in one federation (obviously, as lithoids just came out) and 5 or 6 machines. Basically leaving me only organic specie. And 15 years into the game and driven assimilator declared war against me. My empire was devasted, and with one colony planet remaining, I became vassal. Kinda in an unplayable state. It was before vassal agreement and all that jazz. So next thing - I was integrated. So the sad truth was - play mp only with friends and pray for close spawn or play meta. I decided that I'd better play singleplayer with favorite mods or try to host light role play sessions with my friends...

I haven't gotten a chance to play with all the friends I have who have Stellaris since before the Vassal rework, But I'm considering doing so again with them and instead of doing a Federation, we do a vast Feudal Empire with me at the head and my friends specializing in one of the Vassal types.
