Been following bannerlord news for years now. And it doesn't appear any closer than the last 2 years. What a -SNIP-, thats what this really is, with barely any improvements to the older games even after like what, 11 years? Fix your ****ing **** or the hype is going to die.

anyone notice how there is a hilarious amount of watched and muted people? I suppose this is what happens when a moderator for a never to be released game has nothing to do all day except watch/mute/ban any comment that dares point out this ancient unreleased game not being released.

This is all we have to do anymore. None is going to talk about this newest gem of a devblog of how bannerlord is going to have a pathfinding skill the same as warband lol

Well, in this thread the only users with warnings that posted are you (with a warning for spamming the devblog from last week), two users posting in Chinese on an English-language board (one double-posting), and one other user who received a warning for causing trouble in an unrelated topic. There are about twice as many people without warnings that commented on how the game isn't released, or specifically complained about it. These are people who are still without warnings. Spin your persecution narrative somewhere else, please.

Hello Taleworlds developers, can you please seriously consider implementing a sort of Nord Invasion? Even if its in 30 dollar DLC I don't mind please add them in the game the Nords are my most played faction in Warband.

www  .reddit.com/r/mountandblade/comments/95zzgd/nords_in_bannerlord/

Please look at this Reddit post and look at the upvotes and discussion concerning the interest of Nords. There is interest in invasion DLC. I know I am not alone, please seriously consider this.

Hello? Will a developer please respond?

No, but an annoyed moderator surely will for tripple-posting.

It's a pity this speed doesn't apply to release dates.

Lord Canute, as Orion said do stop with the persecution narrative. We do not warn people just because they point out the game has been on development for years.

We do, however, mute or ban people who spend their last 16 posts mentioning the very same spammy thing. Consider this your last warning before a ban, take this time to sit through your posting history and understand how poorly it contributes and how one-dimensional it makes you look. You had a better posting history before those 16 posts, consider going back to that and not having the need to post the same one liners in every single blog or thread from this point forward.

Although I am all for freedom of speech and liberty in the forums I also believe the place to cry because of the slowness of developement process isnt the forums but some less official places like steam forums. We also point this out and complain when some news related to this come out but considering the fact that developers read this forum regularly in order to receive some useful feedback so that they can deliver us the game in best shape, I think we should avoid polluting the forums with useless spams and complaints like release date, slow developement process since I am sure devs are more than aware of these already.

I like the look of the camel rider in the world map.

Totally agree

Orion is a mastermind conspirator! Lemme get my tin-foil hat to protect me from Warnings and Mutes!

Why?! Traitor! Lemme Mourn&Wait here too!

Still I have a question, will we have some ridiculous options like Poneys or random animals not for mounting as mounts? If so I already have plans for some weird satirical play-through! hahaha

HAHAHA, I don't know why you are surprised... I have always stated that I agree that a "worked" game is better than a "hurried" one, always within a considerable period of time. My Molotov cocktail (aka calm criticism) has always been aimed at the nefarious politics of communication with fans and against the excuses of "spoiling too much and ruining the experience before you get to play it" for the sake of transparency.

By the way, Taleworlds, these are the blogs you have released this 2019:

Spoiler: Conversation Camera

Spoiler: Custom Battle

Spoiler: Combat Particle Effects

Spoiler: Heat Maps

Spoiler: Reins

Spoiler: Party Speed

It's time for a blog that is both wowing and informative, don't you think?

Complete nonsense. I've been complaining basically the entire time, but I haven't been so much as warned. Civility and at least an attempt at something constructive goes a long way.

Also complete nonsense. There is so little to talk about from these dev blogs, and so little that hasn't been talked about already, that it's natural for a considerable amount of discussion to degenerate into expressions of impatience and disappointment.

The 'out of sight out of mind' attitude of wanting to relegate complaints to steam/vg/reddit accomplishes nothing more than the complaining does. I would even go so far as to say that the dismissive attitude towards the discontent members of this community is a large part of what fuels the frustrations they already feel, and is in no way constructive.

 

[KhergitLancer80]

You are aware that the entire reason these blogs exist is to help the community to stay patient right ?
I dont know how long have you been tracking the process but we used to receive these blogs once in a 4 months.
After not being able to fulfill their 2016 promise they apologised from the community and started to make weekly blogs.
It may look like a small deal but every blog has to be made precisely so that it does not spoil much of the game while also giving some satisfying info.
While some fail to give any satisfying info even them with the gifs or pics at least tell us about the graphics.

Also without forgetting they are reading steam forums and reddit, it is just my observation and guess that they care this place more.

And again to my observation gamers are one of the most childish communities in the World. They are impatient, their consciousness is weak, they cant control themselves. If not dlcs, micro transactions etc wouldnt be selling.
Point: It would be unwise for TW to care about these complains because TW sure knows as long as the game is good everyone will buy it and totally forget about the painful waiting.

I'll never understand how one can spoil basic game mechanics. It's a sandbox, not a story driven RPG. I want to know everything I can do, how it works, and what I can't do.

Not every blog was about basic game mechanics Nemo.
For example we received faction blogs for weeks. Discovering some of the minor factions and the lore behind them will be more interesting within the game through dialogues or events than reading the walltext Callum prepared for us.

The entirety of World War Two, from Poland to Berlin AND Okinawa, was quicker than Bannerlord.

Remarkably said!

Took the words right out of my mouth.

How the **** do you know? And what if it's not good? You haven't considered that with this very long development cycle people (including me) will be expecting the game to be more than good. The game being simply "okay" won't cut it imo.
