I will ask to the 5 people in the roomThere are quite a bunch of people who actually gets fun from playing MP, so dont project your love/hate relationship towards the game into a full closement, just leave it for a some time...

Heard this story so many times during beta and now early access.Recently there was a combat test in the beta state of the game with a lot of changes towards the combat and other things. They are working on adding a really big MP update.I must agree with all of you that they are one of the slowest dev teams ever but they are working on big changes have some patience.
let me guess, a "big update" with only small balance fixes LMAORecently there was a combat test in the beta state of the game with a lot of changes towards the combat and other things.

Does this include the full removal of class sytem ? Because if not it is a garbage can update that is incoming.Recently there was a combat test in the beta state of the game with a lot of changes towards the combat and other things.

Why not merge them? Then it would be like... skirmish mode with bots.They just need to close down Captains mode or skirmish its pointless to have 2 modes that do the same thing and are played the same way.
While I like to believe this I will forever remain skeptical about such claims. We've seen this a dozen times where even TaleWorlds claim that something good is coming. TaleWorlds will in my eyes forever be the company that ignores community feedback to manifest their own poor ideas of what the game should be. For the sake of everyone here, I hope you're right. But to everyone reading this I urge you not to get your hopes up even a little, it might just save your mentalRecently there was a combat test in the beta state of the game with a lot of changes towards the combat and other things.

Master level bait lads, don't get hooked unto itNo they shouldn't, i enjoy playing it
Maybe they can give out free copies of chivalry 2 or something. Since that game is more multiplayer focused and not dead.Maybe give free copies of Warband out to keep people happy while they work on MP.
The issue is skirmish and captain on itself, they are not what mount and blade is about. Those are gamemodes for the sweats who want to show their skill around instead of being considered insignificant in the great siege battles.I really want to love multiplayer since I love single player but I can't, its too damn bad, flawed and frustrating and there are better alternative.
Here are some of my issues:
Skirmish:
-I play with randoms vs. a clan every third game, so random guys of various skill levels with no communication vs a clan with voice chat and hand picked higher skilled players, fun? I think not. There is still not any group matchmaking, its basically get a clan or suffer the consequences.
-Combat of pro players basically comes down to feigning swings and in this game your character looks like he has a stroke mid swing, it does not look immersive or natural at all, it looks silly and stiff.
-There is no strategy except for sticking together, no master plan, no notable advantageous map positions worth fighting for, nothing.
-You can ambush people by using third person around corners so basically you see them while your character is looking into a wall 1 cm in front of him, immersive? Its just bad
Captain:
-Poor map design and size. There are only one or two maps big and open enough that make cavalry and especially archers semi useful.
-Poor unit balance and poor ai. Archers are too easily manipulated and all on various levels of sucking apart from Khuzait and Empire thanks to their armor and melee weapons. 1 player with a cav will make your archers keep switching from melee to bow making them useless while the rest of your team die.
-Strategy. Winning strategy is basically stay together, be aggressive with a mix of shield and two handed units, this "strategy" can only be beaten by a faction of better two handed and shield units. There is no benefit to flanking since the enemy can just push either direction together and win it that way.
I could go on but don't see the reason, I don't see the reason if you really want to play medieval melee games to not play something else like Mordhau or perhaps Chivalry 2. Only MP unique thing this game has to offer vs. other games is captain mode and having units under your command but the maps are bad, ai stupid and no real strategy involved.
I do love single player though so there is that.
What makes you say that? The game is rated T.
this isnt twitter im not going to put a trigger warning to each of my posts we're all grown ups here
Isnt Captains already being played like Skirmish? Ramboing still dominates the mode right?Why not merge them? Then it would be like... skirmish mode with bots.
I miss warband - napoleonic wars strategy and battle development because that "captain"/commander battle mode was absolutely fantastic, the game kinda didn't age too well unfortunately and frankly looked kinda bad at the time as well. I'm sure siege will be better but I doubt it will save the game's MP mode and its small player base, there are too many better alternatives.The issue is skirmish and captain on itself, they are not what mount and blade is about. Those are gamemodes for the sweats who want to show their skill around instead of being considered insignificant in the great siege battles.
Ego boost is what skirmish and captain mode are, being a meaningless, useless, pathetic little soldier is what is it about
