There are a number of threads that all go the same way.
1. Someone complains about a feature and/or suggests something the game should be doing.
2. People take offence, and argue against it. Invariably pointing out how this is Early Access.
3. This leads to a big, confused fight, where people inevitably end up arguing over Early Access and prices....
This is completely stupid. Aren't you getting bored of the same argument over and over again?
So, I will make it plain what we should be doing: Let's just stop trying to silence criticism. Even stupid criticism.
Yes, the game is in Early Access... so what? If there's a bug, people SHOULD be pointing out that bug, or people won't find the bug to fix it. If a feature is not fun, they SHOULD be pointing out it is not fun.
And if they whine about Bannerlord while pointing these things out despite it being in Early Access... who cares? Gamers are always whining, so let them. When someone gives criticism or feedback that is incorrect, such as they think they found a bug but it's actually not a bug... then just say what is wrong with their statement.
EX: "Swords probably shouldn't cut through plate armor like butter, as you suggested, because that would break immersion and make anti-armour weapons pointless."
And if the feedback is really dumb, you should probably just ignore it.
Here's hoping that the forum improves a lot, as right now it's a bunch of worthless squabbles, packed into a few unorganized boards. The developers added in a section for bugs, but we need a suggestions section, a section for Captain Mode, a section for combat, and a section for stupid arguments about Early Access!
