I’m not sure if it’s the game itself, the multiplayer host (ie. Steam, gamespy, gog, etc.) or the individual servers themselves. Honestly I don’t think anybody but TW probably knows that. They should probably fix that first and foremost, though I was implying that is a given when talking about any changes in regards to bannerlord (fixing completely unusable things is, or in TW case should be, priority after all).
He is talking about unique users, most people on at a given time is a different stat entirely.
What the **** have I lied about?
The game being enjoyable.
Ah yes, because you don’t enjoy the game I must hate it.
Mhmm, that's what I figured he meant, and I understand the difference. But that is actually the reason why I ask, because if that's the case, then he's using two different metrics in his comparison: Daily Active Users from the forums vs. average Concurrent Users playing BL, or put another way, he's comparing all of the unique users that visit the forums in a whole day to the average number of players playing Bannerlord at a single point in time.
Yes.
Have you played warband? If so, you are a bit of an AI.
I’m not saying whether people enjoy something is subjective, but the facts of the game being good/bad are.
You should take more samples from different times of day, not just when the feet per gallon people are awake. The numbers now at 5:30 (very early in Europe, so still low) is 132 forum members (a few are notably only Warband/off-topic users, like me) and 10596 people finding bugs.
Ideally a mod just provides the daily peak concurrent user number for the forums so that we can directly compare it to the peak concurrent players without having to hope the peaks line up. Or better yet, Taleworlds releases the DAU and MAU numbers so that we can finally put the silly idea that only 20k people still play the game to rest. By the way, I wasn't including the guests in the count because there's no way for us to know if they're lurkers or non-logged in members, and the whole discussion started over whether or not the forum is a good representative of the greater playerbase, of which you need to be a member to contribute (not that all of them even contribute). I'm betting the peak members don't crack 100 on most days.
While a majority are likely players not logged in, some very well could be bots. When I ran forums, they were constantly invaded by bots posting suspicious phishing links with broken English posts; without proper CAPTCHAs they flood the forums. Since TW forum has pretty solid security, they don’t have to worry too much about them posting, however the bots are still present on the forums outset and can be seen as “guests”. Not much to do by this aside from a) disallowing a guest tag to view the forum, or b) banning these bots manually. However, since this really isn’t too big of a problem (bots being seen as guests), and some of these are counter-intuitive (banning bots will just result in them going on new ips/ids) this is really a non-problem.
why did you buy it EA????...
Hmm, you and Roy may be right about the fishy guests, though in my time looking at mod boards daily, there were twice as many guests/lurkers vs. registered forumites. A lot of people just read this nonsense we are posting, without the desire to contribute.
You can't pretend to be the smartest guy in the room with that grammar and spelling.
So many young people nowadays are brainwashed to be anti freedom of expression,they call everything they dont agree with "hate speech" however they also Simp for big corpos who only want their money, even if these big corpos like the NBA, COCA COLA, NIKE,APPLE, DISNEY BLIZZARD...etc....who profit and support genocides in China, and a totalitarian communist regime,
God , did you get triggered?
Those days are gone forever, only a small number of games offer free demos, most of them are indie games.
Definitely not a hippie. Anti-corporation and anti-China? "SAD"? The right-wing pro-Trump conspiracy brigade.
Why are you telling this to me? I don't pre-order and I said so.
To be fair, DLC did exist.Those days are gone forever, only a small number of games offer free demos, most of them are indie games.
Back then companies also tried to release games without any big bugs, nowadays they don´t care and even plan to fix their broken game in the first 6 months after it´s release.
Also back then, companies released content patches like new maps and stuff like this for free, that´s what we call DLC now. But to be fair, game prices are mostly the same as they were back then, but the developement of games costs much more today.
And then there is also the press...I mean a broken/buggy game like Cyberpunk 2077 got so many GOTY reviews 1-3 days after it was released, it was a broken mess, not only on the consoles. But who cares?
