Beta Patch Notes e1.4.2

[khuzait haircut]

I absolutely love the M&B series and I see a lot of promise in Bannerlord but this is a ****show any way you cut it.

In fairness to TW, eight years ago this game would have been very hard to develop. The battles are pretty good. They need bigger scenes and better AI to command but overall its quite marvelous to watch archers back pedal and dodge your lunges from horseback.

I think they just need to plan better.

The battles are repetitive as hell if you ask me.

One single dude is able to distract 50 archers.

Believe me. We all know how you feel about the game at this point. Haha

If only you had spoken up sooner and been more clear about you thoughts. Do you suggest any other games that meet your standards?

I was going to take a look at 1.4.2 with Community Patch rc10 and it crashes on launch. It seems like some people have it working. Anyone have any clues? I verified my files via Steam.

Bannerlord is essentially an empty engine with placeholders or nothing at all for most of the core mechanics. The simplest features that could easily be implemented have remained unaddressed for months while community fixes them with patches quickly. Two months into EA they realize that they need to do a big refactor in order to take the game where they want it to go. This is after 8 years of development, having already scrapped the codebase once, and missed their "the game will be out in some form" prediction by a few years. We are now over 25% of the way into the planned EA cycle and the only real gameplay additions we've seen are some progress on weapon perks.

That’s all about. Nicely said.

EDITED

It depens on mods you are using. I play all the time on 1.4.2 with atm 31 mods and Community Patch is doing absolutely amazing job here

To try to narrow it down, I've disabled everything except community patch and it still crashes on launch.

I had sth like that once with other mod and was neccesary to fully reinstall but unfortunately Im not proficient in that and cant be sure it would help you too.

 

[WhiteEyedSh4rk]

The new patch won't be out during a weekend. I'm pretty sure about that.

The worst part is, I know that xD

Ahaha! This is really the bottom line - theres no game that comes close. If there were my credit card would be on fire with the speed at which i woulda bought it already.

Its an amazing piece of software that is M&B - would be a blessing if they had some competition but just like Arma - they are just too far ahead (down the rabbit hole) for another company to try and replicate at this point . Its a successful, profitable niche so money is not whats stopping them.

Maybe some game dev will notice that people want a game like this? And it´s not that hard to win over this mess of a "game".

I mean their first game is even better than this mess and it´s only 10 years old.

Game companies are all aware of Bannerlord trust me. Youll see a few try and best Warbands combat engine ie Mordhaus etc.. a few try and add real melee with an RPG element Kingdom Come and there are already plenty of medieval strategy games -but non have attempted to combine the 3 -especially the element of thousands of bots fighting in real physics based 3d time. You can believe most turn their heads away just at the thought of that

 

[MostBlunted]

If any "big" game dev company whould try this, we have a better game. Like even EA. So I don´t think they were aware of this. But now they are. So EA or Activion/Blizzard will release a better Bannlord in this next 4-5 years. And Bannerlord will still be even in Early Access, they´ll rework the code.

No thats not how it works. They know far more about Mount and Blade than you or I do -its their business to know what games are successful and what trends the public are into. Big companies dont just magically have far superior coders that can take any project and better it. Think about it -why wouldnt Ubisoft do a bigger better remake of Candy Crush? Surely they have more talented programmers.. Because big AAA companies generally have a flagship engine that has been reiterated over and over -refined over and over for THAT SPECIFIC GAME or series. That specific engine is very good at what it does for that game or series -but there is zero reason to believe they could modify said engine or rebuild a new one from scratch that does what Warband does so well.

This is magical thinking - but just isnt the case.

With a AAA studio, we would get a skirmish game with 20v20 max

I can imagine EA bringing out their version of M&B, microtransactions and all!

A game as rich as 7DTD is going to have less-frequent updates because the game has much more depth and adding new features will have to be carefully integrated and balanced.

i like 7DTD but balanced and deep thought out features are not the words i would use to describe it
that said i have like 300 hours played in 7dtd since a16 and 600 hours M&B since EA release
M&B is the far superior game imo
there are shortcuts and placeholders but its playable and fun (for me)
its like an uncut gem and can only go better from here
all you need is a bit of patience

as for EA releasing something like Bannerlord : tyvm for giving me nightmares

I like Bannerlord more than 7DTD as well. I just think they should be making better progress.

 

[Crowcorrector]

did anyone really think they could keeping these weekly patches with the huge patchnotes comming week after week after week ?

Obviously not week after week, but I was expecting rapid content updates because we know TW has the content mostly ready (eg: siege keep and city scenes, and missions such as the trial by combat seen in the 2018 GC vids.)

I was not expecting TW to be putting lots of new work into content (apart from new scenes), instead merely applying the finishing touches and releasing it in a steady stream to be bux fixed and tweaked.
