Disable multiplayer till you can fix it

If you're really that concerned, just stop playing MP until the game releases. If worst comes to worse, its not fixed and people can stick to Warband. If it is eventually fixed, people will come back. Even the worst games can get players back when they fix important issues.

Right now Im happy to play and report problems. If they still arent addressed by release, I wont be playing beyond casually.

Nah I prefer MP actually, just don't give a crap if it is unfinished we still probably have at least another 6 months before seeing released servers and balances to the class and combat. Will simply fire it up at some point when they update it and go from there.

Im the same way, I enjoy MP quite a bit but, I'm pretty certain it wont be addressed until Single player is finished so I dont mind waiting and providing feedback in the mean time.

But suggestions like the original one in this thread is just nonsense. Shutting down MP helps nobody.

I agree.

The primary thing right now is reporting issues. If a few months down the line nothing is addressed, I wouldn't blame anybody for abandoning ship when it comes to MP

That's the problem, this is exactly where we are right now. The Multiplayer Alpha began back in June 2019, and communication was a problem throughout the beta. It's understandable why Singleplayer would get more focus right now, but Multiplayer didn't get much love during it's own beta period - that's why there is so much frustration. The only time the community could get TaleWorlds to interact was when there was an uproar over something. Important concerns and criticisms often went without any response from TaleWorlds, even during Alpha.

TaleWorlds has assured us that even if they don't reply, that doesn't mean they don't read the threads. It must not be often because a popular thread about kicking went three months before a TW dev said something along the lines of "we will investigate the issues with kicking" as if they had somehow not noticed such an important topic that was constantly being talked about.

Keep in mind that during the entire process of beta, that was 9 months of them prepping for early access and getting the game into a playable state, and even then it released with numerous problems. More problems should have been addressed during beta but it looks like they had some major overhaul of single player during its development because its 8 years later and its not in a state reflecting that.

Unfortunately everything right now is just speculation because they havn't addressed it much. I firmly believe they read the threads and there are devs who are active in the forums (one has like, 25 posts today alone). Im not quite on the "abandon ship" mindset yet though. Taleworlds hasn't really given me a reason in the past to believe they dont want every part of their games fixed.
