Mature people are not mature because of age, but because of years of experience. Years of experience with dealing with Taleworlds are definitely worth more than "I played the game and I liked it, why is everyone so upset" level of experience.
There's a long list of poor moves by Taleworlds over the years and even now, that are valuable experience because it gives you the context to predict what they'll do next. This is why you are so optimistic about the release state of Bannerlord and veterans aren't. Opinions based on blind faith are not worth much.
Yeah, people do mature because of their years of experience. I know that I am not the same person that I was last year do to the experiences over the course of the year and definitely not the same person I was 10 years ago. A lot of people here have negative experiences with TW, that is undeniable, however my opinions are not based on blind faith. If the game sucks, the game sucks, however I don't think that the game in its current state and the state of affairs with TW is that dire. While your experience is with TW, I have experiences with other series that have just died. Arma 4 is never going to come out, and the devs have even been partially bought out by Tencent, Dawn of War 3 was abandoned by its devs following a massive backlash on its launch meaning that the series is practically dead, and Just Cause 4 was a massive let down in comparison to 3, a game series that was basically the first game that I have ever been into. I've been blackpilled before, however seeing the situation that BL is currently in, I disagree with the fact that this game is in dire straights. While the game is far from perfect, and a lot will have to be done in order to realize this games potential, I don't think that it is time to give up any hope on this game.
It doesn’t mean that, but it does mean they are worth more and hold more water. Someone who has been waiting 10 years has a far better understanding of the situation than someone who just got here. The person who just got heres opinion isn’t invalid, but it doesn’t hold nearly as much weight.
No, they don't. And they especially don't when that status of being a veteran is used as an argument to get others to shut up. I respect the experience, however I disagree. There is a reason as to why in my posts I've never said that TW is going to make the game a perfect 10/10 overnight, I've always stated that it will take a long amount of time. I don't have blind faith that in the next few months the game will be perfect with no bugs, no, it will take probably another year to come out. The difference in viewpoints between most of the people here and myself is that I am perfectly fine with waiting that amount of time if it means that there is a better product in the end. I'm not going to brigade for review bombing or try to black pill the uninformed, unwashed masses who still play this game, I'll simply wait. There are other games to play, and when I want to play BL, I will play BL.
Imagine waiting a decade for a game that everyone told you would be the most amazing thing ever made... only for it to be mediocre and worse than previous, similar, experiences. Except most of us don't have to imagine it.
Yeah, I can totally get that, I really can, but I feel as if that initial disappointment is blinding some actions today. Some people are way to inflammatory for what is worth, and I feel as if that does more harm then good. The community should give pushback and keep TW in check so that they never lose sight of the end goal. That is why I don't really argue with threads that are laying out what people want in the game, or actual criticism, because I agree with that. What I disagree is with people being needlessly angry. While one can be disappointed, annoyed, and even angry, there are better ways to use those emotions that what I've seen be done on this forum. Even the 1.6.0 patch, the change happened with a professional letter, and for those that don't believe that's what caused the change a professional later response by Jance brought the topic back up with got a dev response. Being polite, professional, and coordinated can get a lot of change done for this game.
And a month isn't that long to argue when it comes to a game that I do have some hope for. I've been blackpilled before, I don't want it to happen again.
