Multiplayer

[BF2 [X]ThePunisher]

Sorry if this has been discussed already but I enjoy the game and its bad in a way cause havent played BF2 in ahwile lol but I would like to know if there will be a multiplayer mode available to play in as well as the singleplayer mode which in itself is great and am going to get anyways even if they don't have multiplayer available

BF2:[X]ThePunisher
Mount & Blade:Thor

First I was waiting NWN2, and now we're waiting M&B2 for possible multiplayer. (Multiplayer is stated not to be feasible due to engine design on M&B1).

And the game's still in 0.6 phase. Sheesh.

 

[SCopE]

yeh, theres like a million threads saying multiplayer, and i repeat, yes it would be cool.
and the producers should release a mp only game

Multiplayer: Multiplayer is not planned for Mount&Blade. It is very difficult to add that after this point, and it would probably lead to a great number of bugs which would require months of effort to fix. I know it would be really cool to have this, but it's not feasible.

This is right from the suggestion guide, posted by the developer. C'mon now, lets atleast TRY.

it's possible. just extremely difficult. For your reference, here are some of the most common topics, so don't go suggesting them again ---

Multiplayer
Hunting
Close Combat/Unarmed Combat
Horse Breeding/New Horses
Town/Castle Sieges
Player-owned Property

I'll add more to this list later.

It can be done like many other games like so and would be much better and you at tale in worlds would make better proffits if you do so because I wouldn't mind paying 10-15 dollars a month to play like I have done with SWG (which ruined itself after the CU) UO (before Age of Shadows came out) and WoW since a game like this if you added some professions then this game would sell like crazy all over the world

Could always start locking and temp banning anyone who brings such topics up all the time, new or not. After a month or two people will learn the *hard* way how to read stickies and use the search feature before posting the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again.

And yes, it's getting annoying.

Ilex (i think thats the name ) Said theres a good chance it will be incorporated into M&B2

In M&B was made to just be single player like cheat mode and on on on on the easy abilty to change stats and so on which a decent modder could make his man invincible...

If the devs want to make money from M&B then multiplayer is the way to go.

Some of you may be getting annoyed by the constant posting of multiplayer threads... personally it just makes me more certain that multiplayer M&B would be a major... MAJOR sucess.

I realise the game is still beta... but.. the campaign side of the game is always going to be second best... it's the combat that counts.

If I was the dev... I would scrap the campaign development right now and work solely on a multiplayer game.

 

[BF2 [X]ThePunisher]

I agree because MP is where all the money is exspecially MMPRPG where you have to pay monthly but you dont care cause the game is just that good

I wouldn't pay monthly for any game, if it just went to the developers. The only reason I would pay monthly for a game is to support the server, and keep it up so that other players and I could continue playing the game. People who think all money that goes towards playing online goes to the devs, you are wrong. Depending on the situation, it might go to devs. Like if you purchased a "membership" thing, like on RS. Some of your money goes to server, and some of it goes to devs. It's their way of keeping the server up, so they can make more money.

However... I wouldn't pay monthly for M&B. Not in it's current state. Personaly, BF2, I think you should just *STOP* posting/polling about multiplayer and start reading what other people think about it. Go in to some of the older multiplayer topics and look for it.

Also... not all of us are rich, and capable of paying for 5 online games per month like you seem to be. WoW? I can understand paying for that one. Some of the others, hell no. I wouldn't pay them a dime for multiplayer. I played Diablo 2 LoD for so long because you didn't need to pay monthly for it. All the major game companies are charging monthly fees now, and it's making it impossible for the less-fortunate people to play online games.

Honestly, multiplayer would be great for a completed M&B. But this game is in beta, and was not intended for multiplayer. Therefore, it wasn't coded to allow multiplayer to be easily implemented. THEREFORE... stop suggesting it. More suggestions about it will NOT make the devs have a change of heart and put it in. It will clutter up the forums, making all of the members irritated because they can't find the topic they posted in 30 minutes ago.
