MP Modified Combat Parameters

[Dabos37]

You didn't understand what I said. It somewhat aligns with what you pointed out. Since it's a gamey representation of combat, we cannot have 100% freeform movement. Therefore in order to abstract game mechanics the 'arcadey' mechanics come in. Arcadey or unrealistic does not inherently mean bad, it works well for games that are well designed in that regard. Arcadey or unrealistic doesn't also inherently mean fast or slow, it just means well designed. For me, a well designed combat system is one which responds to my input. If I have the mechanical skill and reflexes to beat someone I should not be actively trying to beat the game delays as well.


I'm not interested in Singleplayer. I see and understand the appeal people have for it, but I'm not personally attracted to it. If MP had more thought put into it like it was promised many years ago, then MP could've been a valid and equally populated component of the game - there are not any obstacles for it with proper support. MP games these days are extremely popular and Warband certainly had a strong MP scene going on, despite it being statistically smaller than SP. It was still the highlight of many people's gaming experience, including mine, and we hosted and played in hundreds and hundreds of events, matches and tournaments.

What I do not understand is this part:

I don't think any player actually enjoys games which delay and restrict his input, even in Singleplayer. It'd be a pretty detrimental mechanic if in games like say, the Witcher(which I love), your actions had severe input delay. You want to fight enemies, not the game. I can't stress enough how much good, skill-based combat will benefit Singleplayer, and not just Multiplayer. We shouldn't be having this divide.

I should also add that Bannerlord is actually faster in certain mechanics than Warband, but Silen/Gab can elaborate more on the what and why of that since he's far ahead of me in the mechanics studying right now.

Sure, arcade is not necessary a bad thing in the same way than trying yo make the game "more realistic" is not necessary less fun... It is all about taste. I personally think that the SP will be much more funny if the game would be in a point between simulador and arcade, which is IMO what TW is trying yo archieve. Problem is that It looks like making the game less arcade is something that most of MP Veterans do not like much.

I am not a SP guy but for some reason, this is one of the few games that I enjoy much more the SP than the MP (well, because I think that SP is great in Warband while MP is not appraling enough IMO). The thing is that It would be great if TW could make the game better for MP Veterans without making the game looks ugly and this is what this mod does IMO.

Judging for this mod's videos and people opinion, it looks like for making the game more responsive and "fixing" the delay according to MP veterans, the game should turn into something really fast, ugly to watch and not appealing at least for me. Making blocking faster than animations and these kind of changes which hurts the game visually are what most if the people like me dislike about all these delays complaining. I have played MP for a lot of games and I have participe in tons of tournaments and my personal opinion is that the game does not need yo be ultrafast to be enjoyable and competitive.

Is there a guide for those AI sliders up top - maybe its my resolution but i cant really make out what they say and how they change AI behaviour. Im noticing the bots are very reluctant to swing and not fighting very well so maybe these are the settings i need to hit?

Yeah the AI isn't working properly with the CombatDevTest mod at the moment. If you want fully functioning AI, you should try using the "Offline Multiplayer" mod instead, which you can also download from the launcher.

As long as you have the parameter files installed in the Modules\Native\ModuleData folder you should be good. It works in the same way, just tick the mod, launch the game and when you're in the menu press F5 to host an offline game. Then AI should work properly.

 

[froggyluv]

Yes i have that loaded and ticked but the bots are still really hesitant to attack. Like they chamber hold every attack for 3 seconds before swinging

Do you only have "Native" and "Offline Multiplayer" ticked?

Glad to know you got it working.

I'd on side with the dissenters. This ain't gona happen.

They don't want the faster combat from warband. You can call it low skill cap or whatever you want but this is what Bannerlord is.

I don't think it's bad, and I do very well with this new system. I still feint as much as I did in warband, and I still kick/bash as much as I did in warband. I don't play any different at all, really. It's just all a little more slowed down and more telegraphed. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with people seeing my attack a little longer before it hits them so they have time to block. Hell, I even dodge more than I ever did in warband because of how high the movement speed is in BL, an aspect that makes a duel more complicated.

They would have changed all of this ages ago, and I really don't see them doing it within the short span of time. The old guard either has to get on board or just stick with warband. All the casuals will absolutely love this change because it means they live longer in multiplayer instead of getting steamrolled and never playing again out of fear. Multiplayer will be alive with or without you guys.

Bull****. Kicking is completely useless at the moment. Don't pretend that it's not.
You've left out chamber blocking. Do you do that as much as you did in Warband?

I don't agree with any of that.

No. I'll never come to terms with the fact that Bannerlord is ****ty game, if it ends up staying that way.
I will die cursing the name of Taleworlds if they never come around to fixing it in a substantial way.

All the casuals will absolutely love this change because it means they live longer in multiplayer instead of getting steamrolled and never playing
again out of fear.

They won't. They'll move to singleplayer and forget that multiplayer exists.
Lowering the skill ceiling of a game so that newcomers aren't intimidated by veterans is impressively retarded and not how good games are made.

Multiplayer will be alive with or without you guys.

It won't be.

Just because you can do well with a bad system doesn't mean the system is good.

Have any of you found the parameters for the pre-swing delay? Or are they hardcoded into the animations?

They don't want the faster combat from warband. You can call it low skill cap or whatever you want but this is what Bannerlord is.

It's the opposite. On paper, Bannerlord has a way higher skill ceiling than Warband, but the problem is that this is achieved through poor design and overengineering everywhere. We have a game that not only feels awkward and unresponsive, but also one that no one can ever master. Why do you even take part in the discussion if you don't understand the fundemental issues with the combat or even try to?

Oh, sorry, I was talking about the swing delay that we all keep complaining about, the one before the swing starts but after you release your mouse, and the one that's also variable depending on whether or not you hold the attack. Ready_speed_multiplier sounds more like the amount of time it takes to ready an attack before you release the button.

But thanks for answering the question.
