For others, it is an opportunity to run around naked with a two-handed sword and test their combat skills against players from all around the world. In this week’s blog, we talk with the person responsible for making these equally epic (and sometimes silly) experiences a reality in Bannerlord: Korneel Guns.</p></br> [/parsehtml]Read more at: http://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/51

Okay great so we still have battle, that's one thing. But the equipment selection increases the replay-ability and variety of the fights by a lot imo. Obviously multiplayer is fundamentally different with the nerfing of feints, a class system etc. I just wonder is the singleplayer fundamentally different and not going to be recognizable to the warband SP I remember? Is it going to have revives and endless handholding and skyrim-esque action RPG leveling? It seems nowadays every good RPG company slowly dumbsdown their games to appeal to the casual masses, it really sucks TW is pulling a Bethesda. fucc

Don't be dramatic, only red light I had seen regarding single player was inclusion of influence currency, which seems to bypass building relations with individual lords to a certain degree and generally looks like a layer put over more complex system that is already in place. Basically everything else appears to be more in-depth than it was in Warband. It's okay to be bummed/pissed off about lack of battle, but now people just run around the on-topic section prophesying Bannerlord's crash in flames the moment it releases.

As someone who doesn't play multiplayer...

That axe was sure pretty.

That it was, my good sir. That it was.

TW needs to ditch multiplayer for good, since internet wasn't a thing back in the medieval age, and respawning is obviously unrealistic and historically inaccurate!

Dude, yes! +1 for life.

I sign this too, so +2 like lets focus entirely on Single Player 


@ Taleworlds

- Can we get more Information about Single Player like how the Progress in Game is planned to go and what all we can do? It does not need to be perfect we can just mod it later to perfection 

- Can we expect for E3 in L.A. more Videos from ingame action and maybe a Release date or at least you guys can tell us in what years we wont have to expect the game coming out lets say 2018 for example?

Why would you care about when it comes out at this point? We've been waiting for ages and it's obviously coming out eventually, so why bother anticipating a release date? Just be patient and think about something else until it comes out.

Well I am excited for the Modding tools and everything about it... I would not even care if they bring it out bit by bit like DLC lets say over the next 10 years every year one DLC for 15€. Most people like me only bought the game because of the Mods.

But I guess its better they take their time and release it when its ready, better that way then half finished.

Man since I landed this job as a game dev in an indie studio here in Belgium, time fly so quickly. I don't even come here more than 20min a week anymore, just to read the blog and some of the posts.

I wish you guys find something as good to wait for BL.

Sorry for occupying space in this weekly devblog topic but I dont think this is my fault.
I believe I have been a victim of bad administration.

According to the message that I have received I insulted or flamed another user with this post of mine:

Spoiler

Class + perk system will work nicely with a controller, so it is a good change for consoles as well (besides making the entire thingy easier for newbies).

Yeah especially if the newbies have lower than 65 IQ.

Now I wonder who I insulted or flamed with this.
I reported the message but nothing happened. I dont know how the system works but I think I cant report too when I am muted.

I clearly didnt insult to Kalarhan I dont know if he took the ''below 65 IQ'' thing on himself but that was definitely not the thing I meant and the post clearly has no such meaning.
I simply wanted to slightly mock how he underestimated the understanding capacity of newcomers. I just wanted to say ''being noob doesnt mean having understanding issues, as the old system wasnt very complex and it was very clear and I dont believe people go through hard time understanding it''
or ''in order to not to understand it a person must have lower than 65 IQ''

I dont know if moderators found it offensive for the people who have lower than 65 IQ but I think having lower than that is not considered normal in medical circle. According to various degreements it is considered being mentally backward.

Also this may come a bit subjective but even though I shine time to time insulting is not my personal character.(My previous contoversy was due to penetrating an expressional swear word by semi-censoring it myself though I think 30% is bizarre for that as well I dont know if it is a standardized penalty though)
For example under this thread I was pretty much lynched by many users simply for sharing an information yet I waited and reported at the end as things went out of control.
https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,373553.msg8906758.html#msg8906758
(Suprisingly even though after all those insults none of them received a warning yet alone getting muted if I remember correctly I dont know what would happen if the administration was also as soft as they were to this post of mine)

The problem is that even if this post of mine was found offensive by the moderators(I think it is Duh as he posted right after I received the mute) the punishment I received was absolutely bizarre(40%  controversy as if I swore to someones mother).
It was like as if someone wanted me muted.
Worst thing is now I have criminal record in the forum for no reason. From what I understood next time the mutation will last longer.
I really like this community and it was a very harsh 2 days for me to not being able to express myself hopefully such thing will never repeat again.

The mods on the forum sometimes do give warnings for stupid **** its just part of being in something as outdated as a forum. Maybe the website overhaul Callum promised us will change this. But I doubt it

That's not really a good idea, to drag a completely irrelevant topic into the thread you were just saying you're sorry for cluttering.

Cant really agree that it is ''completely irrevelant'' as it all took place under this topic.
I am a person and I have ego as we all have, it is what differs us from other animals and mine was hurt since getting muted like this make me feel like I am a child and I just wanted people to see it. I didnt think it would be a big problem as the subjects of these topics change a lot and the admins are not very harsh in this meaning.

Have you met cats ? Their ego is pretty big and they behave like assholes when hurt.

If you wish to appeal regarding a warning you have received, please PM an administrator. Do not start a post complaining about your warning status as this is likely to lead to further problems.

By dragging it to the public you're not really starting a discussion with mod team about your issue. You're appealing to the other users to take your side.

I don't even care that much, it's just a fair warning, because I've seen how this tends to end.

 

[Duh]

It is irrelevant to the topic of development. Mocking/Flaming/Baiting etc have no place in the development blog or other spots relevant to development. Not does spam. For that reason... Take things to the realm or forum email for appeal. Further spam here will lead to moderation action.

[LAST_ACTION_HERO]

Are we still supposed to collect Questions and ask? Like if so  I would have some more 


- Can we see how to edit/mod Quests? ( Like wondering to mod later a Story Campaign )

- Are they any updates about Hardware requirements? Last I checked my 4 year old machine can still run it.

- Last but not least

Spoiler: about KhergitLancer stuff, irrelevant to the topic, shouldn't even be here but whatever

Cant really agree that it is ''completely irrevelant'' as it all took place under this topic.

Just because a car collision happens in the middle of the road, doesn't mean the judge, the insurance reps and the litigious parts have to sit in the very same place the crash happened to judge it. id est it is irrelevant to the topic.

Spoiler

Now if you want my personal opinion, many of your posts posts I've read since ~november have been really inflammatory. My guess is you got the muting out of a long recent history of "bad posting" in addition to the "newbies have <64 IQ", apparently I wasn't the only one to interpret it that way.  I am done talking about this

Man since I landed this job as a game dev in an indie studio here in Belgium, time fly so quickly. I don't even come here more than 20min a week anymore, just to read the blog and some of the posts.

THIS.
It is really necessary to occupy one's own mind to diminish the over-hyping symptoms. I am personally trying to write articles about medieval theatre... Not as easy as I thought last year...

And multiplayer is completely unrealistic. DESTROY IT! And pausing mid-game as well, we should all petition for a total real-time game, where the hours last 60 minutes IRL, and pressing ESC doesn't pause the game, nor can you wait on the world map, because that's totally unrealistic as well!

+1 for FBohler hope you don't mind me trying to further explore what I interpreted to be your well-intentioned request!

Also, were we supposed to ask questions? I thought they didn't say there was going to be an interview this thursday (today).

 

[Iberian Wolf]

We have something pretty cool to show you about the world map in the not too distant future. 

I'm hoping for this...one can dream eh?

I hope you mean this Thursday. I’d love to see more of the world map & its features. News on a world map editor would also be helpful - every full conversion mod needs its own world map.

Not for the next few weeks at least, sorry.
