Now that i think of it, i remember couple of names from past blogs full on *****ing, whining and complaining on how the game is awful and should change preset equipment, there will be clones running arround, warband is better, bamnerlord will be boring af, etc....the loudest ones turns out to be the ones that were actually already in the beta.
Thats kind of worrying for the community, its either they are ungratefull bastards (which first comes to mind for us that didnt get invited lol) or, and more plausible, that nobody liked the feel of multiplayer matches of those who tested.
That doesent affect me per se, im singleplayer nerd all the way, but wouldnt like for bannerlord to have any less of a loyal and massive community of that of Warbands.
We saw in the skirmish gameplay that battle is very slow paced, still clunky, there s a lot of space for improvement in many aspects, but since TW made their own engine, i believe they can patch up at any time even the most basic features of the game, so that shouldnt really affect much the release date, because you must get feedback for singleplayer also, especially mid-late game, and to collect that data out of substantial ammount of gamers takes much time AFTER the release.
