Beta Patch Notes v1.2.0-v1.2.6

Users who are viewing this thread

We have made the following clarification to the Beta v1.2.5 patch notes:
That sounds like making them artificially stronger due to rounds in tournament, rather than having a strength depending on their stat, which should be the logical way.
Please don't mess up the internal logic, the ability of a NPC should be ONLY based on its stat, NOT on some weird "we're at the third round so this lucky peasant should be stronger than the champion we had the bad luck to encounter at the first round".

Going farther in tournament should be harder just because the weaker participants are progressively weeded out, NOT because of some weird magic making people stronger each round.
No, there are general combat AI score calculation changes. Tournament participants in later rounds just receive an additional bonus to their score.

To my understanding, this is not a direct AI improvement either. The score determines how well a character performs (how quickly & accurately they block, how often they feint, etc.) - changing it changes their performance, but not the underlying system.
This is an absolutely ABYSMAL idea.
Please, seriously, there is enough bug to fixes without adding absurd modifications. I can't believe someone wasted time implementing this nonsense rather than the metric tons of actual improvements still waiting...

These 4 biggest issues turn a potentially challenging, thought-provoking, fun game... into a boring grindfest that feels like a painful chore to complete.

Are Taleworlds totally tonedeaf to these issues? How can they play their own game, look at these core systems not working, and say "yep that looks right"... For 2+ years?

As it stands, enthusiasm for Bannerlord has largely died off because Taleworlds forgot to make the game not a frustrating experience to play.

Yep. The good news is the bottom 3 have mods, but I agree that they should be resolved in the base game. The last one though, will require a major change in how the AI votes.

Personally I would add to the list, a lack of end game content, such as more in depth kingdom management and diplomacy. Late game is war and that's about it. There needs to be more and perhaps even late game questing.

+1 for every word in this
 
Allow us to marry everyone
Allow us to send letters
Allow us to change how voting works
Allow us to join mercs
Slight tweak to your suggestion about marrying( only widowed King/Queen request to marry player. But everything else spot on. If they’d at least attempt to fit it in is a w to me.

Dayum, didn't expect a new incremental patch until 1.2 went live. Hopefully low tier unit blocking is more bearable now

Has the Horse Archer accuracy penalty been decreased? Everyone was saying that the low tier HAs were obnoxiously bad.

A large step for MP :smile:
 
Dear devs, do will we ever get fixes and improvements for the graphic? At the moment there are many aspects to improve like the lighting with missing and broken shadows and shaders that don't use pbr shading.
 
The purpose of the beta is to support development. It does so by allowing us to collect feedback on much less stable and performant builds that do not offer save game continuity. Similarly, we can respond to such reports with a faster turnaround for these reasons and because we do not have to prepare, test, and optimize each build across a range of platforms. Even if the Steam beta version appears stable and performant to you - it does not mean that the build achieves this across all platforms. As long as more significant changes are still taking place, such platform-specific optimization efforts can easily be invalidated - which would further increase overall release times as the same work would need to be done several times.


As the scope of v1.2.5 grew larger than expected - we postponed our release. Most of our fellow forum members want to see more communication and we have been working on that - including patch release estimates.
and for that we thank you
 
Tiny new bug: when you complete a crafting order you get a message saying the crafted item was added to your inventory, even though it actually goes to the client.
