I LOVE that the red text was thought necessary and added by a mod lol ?
Who would seriously read it and think it was real ? ?
The same people who set the battle slider to 825 troops with their potatoe PC from 2012 and then send a bug report to TW because of the "bad" perfomance
We had many instances of players reporting bad performance in battles and in their options, the battle size option was maxed out. This is mostly because previously we didn't give enough information about the quality equivalence of this option. Players didn't know what to expect with the number they're selecting.
That´s how it works, dumb the game down to the most stupid players...that´s why we won´t get a "complex" game.
Maybe we should all say that we are too stupid to know how to use those siege ladders? Or maybe not, otherwise they´ll just remove them....
And they mean this for real
. No offense for the dev of course!
It´s not his fault, it´s the fault of the guy making those decisions:
"We got a few reports that the performance is crap!"
"Ok, what´s the problem?"
"Huge battle seems to be the issue!"
"Ok, what are the PC specs of those players and what troop size?"
"850 troops with their celeron CPU and vodoo graphic card."
"Ok, makes sense. We need to reduce the options! Make it less! Tell them that more troops mean less performance. This will also improve console performance, and console players don´t need options."
"Perfect!"
But it really is quite funny.
It´s like in an advertisment for a plate (9,99€) on a table with a iPhone next to it and the "*" sais:
*The table and iPhone are not included
And then think about Warband, the game we all love and bought (for 9,99€ if I remember correctly) and played for 500+ hours? Was it user friendly? I don´t think so.
I´ve read a review like years ago about it and thought it sounds like fun (was like 2-4 years after it´s release). I bought it and tried it. I had NO CLUE how to play this, the graphics sucked but I was interested. I "invested" like 10+ hours until I "understood" the game and it made BOOM!
Loved it and have 1000+ hours (about 200+ before I installed mods) in it....
Now we have good graphics and a dull and broken game with less options than Warband and it´s DLC (VC)....for 49,99€
But hey, it has good graphics and a VERY good engine. TW´s marketing (Gamescon trailer and whatever) game is much higher than back then with Warband....this sheep texture!
I´m just so dissapointed that this game could be THE medieval game of ALL times, but nope....better dumb it down.
But if you´re going for those console crowd (I´m also a console player too, so no offense for console players!) just dumb it down.....make it CoD Medieval with a small sandbox option....
