Not that unusual, this is a beta for the upcoming patch.A beta in a released game? Tf
* Voting being mostly pointless because lords vote all one way and you can't change the vote outcome?
* Nobody ever surrendering?
* Spears being garbage?
* Kingdoms losing a war demanding tribute from the winner?
I tested 30 different votes with 100 and 0 relation, here were the results.That doesn't always happen on my end. In fact I can change the outcome most of the time.
My bad, I meant to say "no lords/garrisons ever surrendering". Looters do surrender yes, but lords never ever do. And you don't have the option to request garrisons to surrender, nor do they offer to.They do surrender if they are outnumbered. But it's like 10 vs 100.
True, but one would think that over 10 years of development time on this sequel, someone would have figured out how to simply increase the damage value of spears.That's a Warband feature...
Thankyou.I agree with the rest though.
why should there be? U mean you get tricked for years in EA and suddenly they release a totally different game 1 week after EA ends?How is this "full release" any different than Early Access? What a clown show.
* Kingdoms losing a war demanding tribute from the winner?
This core game mechanic has some kind of reverse logic, resulting in strange loops.I believe that only happens when the winner is in too many wars simultaneously so they want to make peace before they lose it all.
No!When are we going to start seeing fixes to the most serious issues with the game's features?
* Relations with lords barely doing anything?
* Voting being mostly pointless because lords vote all one way and you can't change the vote outcome?
* Nobody ever surrendering?
* Arrows doing way too much damage to armour?
* Spears being garbage?
* Kingdoms losing a war demanding tribute from the winner?
* AI kingdoms with no fiefs getting mercenaries and armies for free so they can raid you forever?
* Tactics not being possible to reach max level?
* Half the personality traits not being able to be received by the player and having no noticeable effect on AI behaviour?

Why Bannerlord Voting is Broken, and How To Fix It
The voting system is almost pointless, because the lords almost always vote the same as each other, so even by spending 150 Influence you can't change the outcome. To test, I set my relation to 0 with every clan in Vlandia, and proposed every policy: 26 of the votes could not be changed by the...forums.taleworlds.com

I just tested it in the game right now: I got 2000+ troops and challenged Bortu (a Cowardly, Calculating lord). Bortu's party was only 140 strong. Bortu still agreed to fight me.
I also besieged Makeb's garrison of 200 with 7000 troops. They didn't surrender even after smashing all walls and calling an assault.
All lords are suicidally brave, regardless of whether they are supposed to be or not.
Can't argue against that.True, but one would think that over 10 years of development time on this sequel, someone would have figured out how to simply increase the damage value of spears.
You are most welcome.Thankyou.
Rather sad to watch Taleworlds turn someone who was an enthusiastic supporter (to the point of creating a YouTube channel dedicated to their game) into more and more of a disappointed cynic here on the forums.Remember everyone we will get to it Soon™ but for right now............... Working As Intended™
We've been trying to provide constructive criticism for years now since EA release (and some before) for a video game aspect; unfortunately, highly doubt they take any feedback an the IRL sense.Lastly, before anyone lambasts me for being mean, rude, or unfair. Please try to remember that this is a company that has made millions off their product. A product that is largley unsatisfactory I'd say. I'm not trying to attack individuals as people, I am trying to offer what I feel is constructive criticism to professionals, as a customer.
The QA is just catastrophic.Rather sad to watch Taleworlds turn someone who was an enthusiastic supporter (to the point of creating a YouTube channel dedicated to their game) into more and more of a disappointed cynic here on the forums.
During this whole development process I'd argue there's one thing they have done exceedingly well:
Turn former enthusiasts into dissatisfied, disgruntled, critics.
I would boil it down to some group in the company is clearly incompetent. I don't know if it's unskilled QA, out of their depth Developers, incompetent Middle Management, or a crisis of leadership from the very top C level down, handcuffing those at lower levels. Whatever it is, I'd argue the only real "fix" is a complete tear down, new talent search, and rethink of how projects are handled. I say this not out of vitriol or malice, but with an eye to improvement as a former enthusiast. I know it certainly doesn't sound pleasant, but: "The truth is a bitter pill, that few men dare to swallow." as one of my mentors used to say.

what? savegames have ALWAYS (with exception of 1 update, discounting the need to go through 1.7 in EA to load in newer) been compatable between game versions as well as beta/main....So we have again two roots versions, one for the MAIN and another for the BETA patches...?
...game saves made at the release with Main patch are not compatible with this Beta as is worked during the early access, right...?
...did you plan, before or later, to release a savegame compatible versions that let player to continue a game session insted to start a new game every 1-2 weeks...?
banner editor overhaul would be welcome (I really expected it to be like in Manor lords) but that hasnt been mentioned in their plans and for diplomacy they have for a long time said they dont really wanna change it (fine imo, but obviously many complaints). Where did you hear about this?ive heard were getting a huge overhaul to diplomacy and the banner editor in the next patch thats why this patch is so small
Sounds too good to be true, hmm....ive heard were getting a huge overhaul to diplomacy and the banner editor in the next patch thats why this patch is so small
- Fixed a bug that prevented the completed main storyline quests from being displayed in the quest log.
