We are talking about warband,

Spoiler

not some game published by Warner Bros. The only reason you are having this issue is because of the Warner Bros DRM protection that requires it, and looking at the discussions around it, a lot of people never had this problem.

Not sure why you have to put things like "Confidence is the food of the wise man..."

Supposed to be deep or something?


But no point to argue, the whole discussion was clearly about multiplayer since those files were found under multiplayer libraries not whatever crap you're trying to prove

Warband? OK, I'm out.

Steam has to be on but you don't have to be connected to the internet to launch the game or play singleplayer.

Skins in SP make no sense, that's it.

I don't know which game you are talking about, my example was MadMax.

I was also mad reading this during a net service breakdown. And yes, it's a single player game, without ingame "store", I bought it's DVD, installed it previously, and it still had demanded internet connection to start. So, it's also a possibility.

Confidence is the food of the wise man...

You don't need to do this for singleplayer since you can play without internet if you wanted.

I'm not a big gamer, but the last one I bought on DVD!! (Mad Max) do not starts without Steam online, so I'm not convinced, as I don't know what will be the trend at the time of BL's final relese.

But singleplayer skins are absurd. I don't know why you would even think taleworlds would even CONSIDER doing it since singleplayer native would be able to be modified at will.

No One said that those paid skins will be stored in the same format as SP models. I anticipate serious resrictions in that field.

It has never been suggested or even assumed singleplayer would have micros.

Has it been for multiplayer before the leak?

+ It would solve the micro transactions over full payment problem.

The leaks are only for multiplayer, not for singleplayer.

It's not that easy.
Assume that Tim buys the game, both SP and MP in one pack for full price. Then TW comes up with a beautiful new armor that Tim buys for his character. Won't Tim be able to equip his item in his single player campaign too? If yes, then it's micro in single player already, if not then it's a half baked model. Maybe those new cosmetics will be available at some point for single player game as DLC packs - it's technically not considered as a micro - it's still an extended payment model. (And poor Tim have to pay again).
So, it's just not that easy.

Anyway, it would solve the micro transactions over full payment problem.

Now, it looks like they are working on two different games unsuited for the same model.
How about a free multi with cosmetic micros, and a full price but complete single player campaign?

Sorry for the alienating idea, but I don't want to see this financial model infiltrating further into the campaign.

A modding related question. Looks like I'm not late with that as the devblog became fortnightly. It's unfolded that skins and micro transactions are on the table, fortnity .
I just can't imagine the model without serious restrictions. I mean, with the freedom of Warbands moddability - where you can add custom 3D models (better or worse) even to your multiplayer mod - Who would pay a buck to use an official skin? 
You will probably show us perfect editors and we are waiting for it, but which aspects of modding are planned to be obstructed compared to Warband due to the changed model?

Why do you toy with our feelings so much Callum?

I still don't think it's an actual feature. I guess their idea of ambush is when you get caught by a party of 50 Sea Raiders while doing Ctrl+Spacebar from Rivacheg to Wercheg.

And it's still no fun for the player, so the feature doesn't worth further development time.

Yes, he's viking! Billian Billiansson.

Nice new website. It's good to see you guys finally decided to start working on something you said like... two years ago that was already being worked on. Looks pretty solid.

This new picture looks also kinda nice, but not too much.

Am I dumb or what? How did I not see that in the blog?

Not too much? Looks absolutely breathtaking. I actually have a hunch they definitely got inspired by the Polished Landscapes mod. And I can see why. I could not be happier that wintery trees look like this.

Thanks for the effort! For me, the "not too much" part is the lack of variety in armors and horses. The whole group sits on the same charger covered by the same tablecloth, and the horsemen shares two sets of armors, even the helmets are matching per set, so it has a clone army or RTS game feeling. I would like to see a minimal individuality among the troops at least. The background is improved, no doubt.

degrading part skipped...

I understand the community who are frustrated
Obviously not.

I think that an early access is lesser then a beta, but costs money. So, there's no guarantee that it won't turn into a BannerLordZ. Of course the theme is less popular then zombies were back then, so it would be obviously a worse - and slow - attempt for a cash grab.

I definitely agree a video, even 30 seconds long, would have been very helpful with demonstrating the lighting, but that said this was enjoyable to see nonetheless.

I suppose you've seen this, haven't you?

Ahh, fresh meat! 
From 0:30 - the dynamic stuff - my eyes have stucked at the bottom of the second floor. Looks like it's light intensity doesn't change while the sun goes. Is that already pre rendered ambience from a fixed lightsource?

Interesting blog. How long it will take modders to bake GI into a scene using this approach?

Click to expand...

I hope it happens during every scene loading without any magic. Baking the the lights outside the engine, and retexturing the scene with the illuminated ones can be done even for Warband. It would need tons of texture loading, but it's possible.
