We're still working on bringing the Consoles to the v1.2.9. No ETA at the moment.Xbox version still 1.2.7
Pretty sure TW was given plenty of grace over the years. If it was kept in early access/beta stage (given its current state still), sure, benefit of the doubt; every studio has their own pace/issues to contend with.People just don’t know how to be grateful
Thank you for the update, you all are very much appreciated! Love the work and effort put into this game! It’s a lot of fun! I know it can’t always be easy doing what you all do, so thank you for hours of fun, enjoyment, and just a really good game to just get out of your head and time to just be in your own world.We're still working on bringing the Consoles to the v1.2.9. No ETA at the moment.
Getting knocked down during battle does not affect the eventual death (you don't die earlier due to it etc.).I have a question about getting knocked out in combat. Assuming Birth and Death on and combat deaths off, does getting knocked out have any affect on eventual death from old age, disease, or injuries? TIA
when you guys going to review all the protections against death that's in place now, making it impossible? With all the proper armor and perks, the chances are less than 0.01Getting knocked down during battle does not affect the eventual death (you don't die earlier due to it etc.).
Worked for me yesterdayThe "coming of age" notification of your initial siblings doesn't seem to work with 1.2.9. At least doesn't for me on a new campaign on 1.2.9.

Please for the love of god increase the overall death rate in battles we participate in, or better yet, provide the player with a slider between 1% - 10% chance of death in (non auto-resolve) battles.Getting knocked down during battle does not affect the eventual death (you don't die earlier due to it etc.).

Birth & death is what gives the game the stakes it needs, but with such a miniscule death chance, it gives players no reason to care about things that are seemingly unrelated like randomly generated companions. Since these companions & family members die very rarely (once in several playthroughs), they just feel like stat dumps.
Becoming the king of our faction due to the death of the current ruler (which we also need to be able to accomplish without the death of the ruler and also have a way to kill the ruler of the faction we are part of) is almost completely dependant on the RNG of them dying from old age, which takes years of in game time, if it even happens in the first place.
Losing a battle or acting recklessly has nearly no consequences other than making the player grind by recruiting and training new troops.
Such a low death chance seriously negatively affects the gameplay experience. So PLEASE, I'm begging TaleWorlds to reconsider the death chance - give the players the ability to increase or decrease the death chance in battle. The miniscule death chance is currently one of my biggest gripes with Bannerlord, along with;
- Lack of proper diplomacy (both inter and intra kingdoms, as well as unbalanced policies which are always good or bad to have)
- Lack of dynastic features due to children taking too long to reach adulthood & every clan having massive amount of people in a few generations rather than having a relatively stable number of people (make the day/night cycle 1/3 shorter and decrease the number of days in a year to 40, decrease the number of NPC pregnancy chance overall)
- Lack of meaningful interactions with NPCs (which an increase to the death chance would massively help in giving the player a reason to give a damn about lords & companions).
Remedying the low death chance (& the high birth chance) along with the slow passage of time would improve the game substantially, for very little effort.
I want the option of a more hardcore experience to be more accurate (with a slider). I fully understand that the vast majority of players prefer a more casual experience, and I respect that. We also have the option to disable death & aging already, so that won't be a problem.Alot of this seems like you want a real hardcore experience, and I'm not sure that the masses is into that ehem
Some of them I can agree with like a slider, so the players can choose.
I agree with most of the other points though, but they would also need to decrease the time it takes to get skilled up.
Atm some of the skills is really grindy, while others move up too fast.
I am not a pro by any means. Just know it worked for me. Do you have any mods installed? Anything that can explain it?Weird, it worked for me on 1.2.8, but on new campagin on 1.2.9 it didn't. Only noticed they came of age because had a character that needed to assign skil for.
No mods, so no idea why I didn't get the notification this time.I am not a pro by any means. Just know it worked for me. Do you have any mods installed? Anything that can explain it?
You should if you are on pc try out Vanillaplus, there is ehem alot of lords dying there - read captured lords have a high risk of beheading under condtions heh.I want the option of a more hardcore experience to be more accurate (with a slider).

Yeah, some skills are grindy, I agree with that. One thing I suggested a while ago (but people here didn't like it as far as I remember), was allocating all of the character's attribute points after character creation; we would have the points allocated by character creation choices and we would get around 12 attribute points iirc (the default number of attribute points given at the start + 8 attribute points if we estimate the average level of an endgame character is around 32) points for the player to choose where to put (we would still have the +1 attribute perks in athletics & smithing as well). I believe that attributes reflect the innate talent of a character, so they should be set at the start. The ability to optimize the player's attribute points would improve the rate of levelling them up greatly. Of course, some skills that are grindy like tactics and trade should level up faster by default. If the attribute change isn't enough, by all means, level up speed can be changed.
I mean yeah, mods make this game soo much better of course, but if the base game can be so much better just by some incredibly simple few tweaks on specific numbers, the devs should do those simple tweaks;You should if you are on pc try out Vanillaplus, there is ehem alot of lords dying there - read captured lords have a high risk of beheading under condtions heh.
