Exactly. The three main arguments against releasing dedicated servers is "the game's still unstable", "the game's still being patched so you can't make mods", and "TW needs info from servers". The first is acceptable to the vast majority of players, who I guarantee will have more fun with buggy/unstable servers rather than no servers at all. The second is also the case for singleplayer, and guess what: mods are being made for it.

The third is a somewhat valid point, but so far the data collected by TW has been used to tweak the damage values of the handful of items available in Native Multiplayer, and change how much certain classes cost. Such massive changes, wow.

If you mean they host the servers themselves and thus can collect data, their argument is absolute rubbish! They already have a key server in Warband, which means there is some degree of remote 'monitoring', if you will, of Warband servers.

They could have setup a telemetry system so community servers report these things to a central place anyway. Literally, Paradox Interactive does this. After HoI 4 came out they published data showing which countries were played the most after the first week or something.

Coming from an NW perspective I know me and some people in our regiment like the direction of the singleplayer a lot and we've played Warband for 10+ years. I can't speak for the quality of the modding tools, but assuming they are good there's a lot of potential.

Multiplayer on the other hand is not good. I'm not sure if they tried to pander to the competitive community with the introduction of matchmaking, the armory and other features. In doing this they failed, the competitive community as far as I know doesn't even like the game.

NW is the most popular module on Warband. It is so popular due to public servers, linebattle events, scripted servers - in other words all community hosted servers. If TW wanted to know what made NW so successful in multiplayer they should have focused on this, and transferred these lessons to Bannerlord's multiplayer.

I'm not sure if the class system is a strange attempt to emulate NW's system, but it doesn't work, and I agree that the native system is superior. Either way they 100% should have got community servers in first before wasting dev time on armoury and other things. Warband MP was popular because of huge battles, not because of 5v5 competitive matches. Whether it's The Deluge, NW, PK or whatever this holds true.

I heard people say 'oh but the servers are unstable'. Well, if they are unstable they will crash on TW infrastructure anyway lol. I would have accepted server instability, the priorities were just wrong. But I'm sure they will add them eventually.

Proximity VOIP is a good method for allowing meme groups like ours to gather recruits from servers.

Heh. Someone in my regiment got multiple keys from the gamescom gave one to me. I then got a first wave access key from the beta application hehe.

We gave the excess keys to people in our regiment in a giveaweay.
