And does anyone have any idea if/when there will be a release date?
Idk how often i saw this question inthe last months, but it was surely too often.

Soon(tm)*Cough* PARADOX
No release date, yet.
Edit: But "soon," I suppose?
Can't blame a peasant for tryingIdk how often i saw this question inthe last months, but it was surely too often.
They did some of that stuff with Cities Skylines, literally sold what were otherwise mods. But perhaps it was Colossal Order behind the deed and not Paradox. That said, I also like how they keep their games fresh with the free+paid dlc model.And nah Paradox releases DLC to fix their games. Totally different, not like paid mods or anything
It's definitely a unique idea to breathe life into games. Yet it's also very very unfriendly for new costumers.

Agree with all of the aboveIt's definitely a unique idea to breathe life into games. Yet it's also very very unfriendly for new costumers. But we're getting off topic
You gotta dox yourself and upload scans of your certificates to be believed by a guy who nitpicked about technical terms, only to fail to cite his sources, pulled another source from the Internet, and still failed to conform to the definitions in said source.The people who were arguing against you were professional coders, they said so, and you pretended they weren't. I don't know how you can manage to twist it like this.
I missed this before but you said it was an example of players being invited in for serious design changes -- and it wasn't.It's almost like that's the problem... over a year my friend, over a year.
I think it WB legit being easier helps as well. A lot of Bannerlord is better balanced but that only makes it feel grindy because you can get stuck pushing back the tide endlessly unless you laid the groundwork earlier. Also WB hid the difficulty settings whereas they stare you in the face when you start a new campaign in BL. So people crank that difficulty to max, even if they aren't having fun doing it.I like the way you put it here. I was trying to pin down why people praise Warband so much while it was actually really bad without mods, and it took years for those good mods to appear. Bannerlord hasn't got a proper chance to be improved with mods like Warband did because it's still in EA. People love the idea of what Bannerlord could have been, and are disappointed that it falls short on those expectations.
Ah, I see, sorry for the misunderstanding. Still though, I still heavily disagree. IMO the difficulty of code should not dictate the validity of a serious or not serious design choice. I'm going to use WB for this example because there isn't enough content from BL.I missed this before but you said it was an example of players being invited in for serious design changes -- and it wasn't.
Man, can you remember the f***ing hype train a year ago?Idk how often i saw this question inthe last months, but it was surely too often.
Homie I'm one of the most blackpilled members of this forum and I have seen zero evidence to that effect. The development dysfunction has all the hallmarks of "management-by-crisis" incompetence rather than diversion of resources to DLC. If you were saying "console port" then that might be plausible, but evidence on even that has been scant.majority of their resources since then has been spent on paid DLC's
Not sure if this is the solution. The devs from what it seems (not just TW, but other studios like Paradox) have fragile, glass egos that will crack at a mere ounce of criticism, so more negative reviews will de-incentivize them from doing anything about their failures.Guys don't forget to write your negative reviews on steam, don't let other pay for a scam.
find that hard to believe,Man, can you remember the f***ing hype train a year ago?
"IT'S ALMOST HARVESTING SEASON!!!"
Maybe their marketing department totally didn't know that the game they were selling didn't exist and will never exist.
I used to be like "Nahhh don't review-bomb because that's lame groupthinky crap"... my alternative was along the lines of "I made my negative review long ago. If you don't currently have a review that reflects your real opinion, then go post one now. Also I wish people would stop reviewing games based on what they hope it to be in the future."Guys don't forget to write your negative reviews on steam, don't let other pay for a scam.
That's only if they can deflect criticism by characterizing it as part of a toxic politically-incorrect hate-mob. Don't know if TW can get away with that, since they haven't added any feminist features that weren't in WB and they haven't added any LGBT features eitherNot sure if this is the solution.

Who knows? Maybe their marketing people didn't actually play the game? Er... maybe Armagan didn't?find that hard to believe,
I saw a post about them having Friends & Family testing etc. Surely they must have actually played the game (or a portion of SP?)..
Granted, MP at the time must have been 'fine' (***'fine'****) for them? Who knows.
LOL you obviously haven't been following the recent conversation in the forums.What sort of content do you all expect? The game isn't even finished. There are games that have been under development for more than 5 years. At least, they gave us mod tools to make our own content while we wait for the full product to be released.
Ya it was glaringly obvious.I used to be like "Nahhh don't review-bomb because that's lame groupthinky crap"... my alternative was along the lines of "I made my negative review long ago. If you don't currently have a review that reflects your real opinion, then go post one now. Also I wish people would stop reviewing games based on what they hope it to be in the future."
But I'm done with all that. F*** it. Everyone who's honest should post negative reviews until the weight of them all makes a console port launch impossible - so there'll be a short-term financial incentive for TW to stop crapping the bed.
I don't even care if TW morally deserves it at this point. I lean towards incompetence over greed as an explanation, but either way they're not going to turn it around without a healthy smack. I doubt they would even then.

Yeah... TBH the "they didn't know what they were doing" explanation holds less and less water with each passing day. It was obvious at EA launch that the game hadn't undergone any serious alpha-level Q/A playtesting. There were simply too many obvious issues that were impossible to ignore from any critically-minded playthrough and that fact remains true today.
Considering the broken state of leveling and perks and traits and siege AI and spears and blah blah blah blah... The fact is that all of the glaring holes in SP could and should have been patched within a couple months of launch. A competent developer could have patched them within days or weeks of launch.
Every minute that goes by without TW announcing "Literally all of our dev team is going to work on siege AI and armor and perks and leveling imbalances, which will all be fixed by the next patch" is a slap in the face of fans.
As with everything leading up to the EA launch, it was MP-only.I saw a post about them having Friends & Family testing etc. Surely they must have actually played the game (or a portion of SP?)..
Let's not lose another thread to brigading, shall we?But I'm done with all that. F*** it. Everyone who's honest should post negative reviews until the weight of them all makes a console port launch impossible
