Honestly MP shouldn't even been brought out until they had most of the core game fixed and down, than work on it. Than again I didn't buy the game for MP, only SP and haven't touched it. Just think it would been better so folks like OP wouldn't be *****ing about it.
Dude I've known this game before it came too steam what made this increasingly more famous was them finally implementing multiplayer, they were highly against it first and alot of no no nos, but alot of people kept asking soo then they started doing it, to be honest I doubt we would have had bannerlord if it wasnt for warband and its multiplayer aspect and all the communities that have been build around it like certain mods like persistent world, mercenaries, napoleonic, and plenty of other ones, whole reason why I have almost 3k on warband isnt because of sp and I guess alot of people either, and yes I do enjoy sp and played plenty but the best memories that I made were on multiplayer native and modded.
It worked and warband is its testimony, now they completely deviate from what warband is beside a reskinned sp warband experience, but yeah I hope this post is a bit more constructive, because I really want this game too succeed and also being able to enjoy it, even though sp gets more enjoyable and mods coming out for it on the nexus, there the mp is what made me clock these 3k hours and I hope we get something from taleworld and they arent ****ting on their older players, like I said on my first post if IT WORKS DONT CHANGE IT OR atleast dont completely eradicate any aspect of it too cater too a certain audience.
If a modder see this when the modding tools are out because that **** is really promising one definitely happy improvement (Because the modding tools in warband were HORRID) Ditch class system and bring back fun gamemodes TG_ARENA WHEN!.
