Afaik, Bannerlord isn't cross platform/server play. So. play with your xbox buddies... When TW push a patch to the platform it become in the hands of xbox. Maybe you should write Phil Spencer a letter? As for mods.. that too is a xbox issue... If you want to play with mods join the pc master race -)

i assume this was an intended nerf because legionnaires were doing too good. but yeah the pilum as it is now is just a very awkward mini-polearm that has less reach than their sword

Wise choice….

Dear developers of this wonderful game! Hear us mere mortals, I beg you! Well, you will make a new difficulty option for those who want to play on 1.2.0 with the old combat system , where they will not defend indefinitely and repel attacks like cheaters , they have already had enough ! Is it difficult to do this? I do not find it a pleasure to hit the blocks and shields of the opponent for 10 minutes.... Add the option, let the experienced play like this, but as I am beginners we cannot and have to sit on 1.1.0 (

Yeah, make it throwable or take it off their equipment

 

[Crisagon]

Yeah, make it throwable or take it off their equipment

Correct

Allow us to name and (if possible) edit our companions, imagine having aragorn, Legolas and gimli as companions

The Detailed Character Creation mod literally does what you want (can be downloaded in Workshop).

The Detailed Character Creation mod literally does what you want (can be downloaded in Workshop).

So do many other mods, for things TWs neglects to address.
It's also annoying to get/need many QoL mods (assuming they are all updated) and to get it working on the newest update; only for a benign, unannounced hotfix to invalidate it all.

So, either I'm stuck waiting for the game to be finished (no news on supposed 1.3 'patch'), waiting for the mods to update (and resolve mod-related crashes) or stuck playing the half-assed base version.
I can't reasonably hold modders accountable for anything. The 'base' version has been, arguably, the same since even prior to the official release 1+ years ago (ie I'm done beta-testing for them). Onus is on TW to finish the game or at least make that claim it's done, instead of holding us all on a mysterious holding pattern of 'when patch?'.

I suggested that and some wise person was saying I want to dumb down the game when I just wanted new combat difficulties so people could play how they like. TW's solution is make it harder and force all to play it. Don't give options to all but just force it on you. My idea gives difficulties for all people, their solution is force you to play it there way. What makes more sense? It just comes down to what is easier to work in the code. My idea takes more effort so they just take the easy way out

 

[Lesbosisles]

Same as with death probability. When a bunch of crybabies was furious seeing nobles die in battles and demanded to drastically decrease the percentage of death chance. In the end, TW lowered it to pathetic 2%,and now almost no one dies in battle in Calradia, and there's no way to increase the percentage, except for mods...

 

[Lu7her]

Tw can we count on you to fix the Legionnaires soon? Will you comment on this matter??

 

[Gnob31]

Were sieges reworked? AI sieges when they are attacking automatically surrenders after losing 1 battle and very little men. Makes no sense

my point perfectly, I suggested a slider for 2-10% so people could select what they liked, everyone wins

 

[Brocephus]

A slider is very complicated and beyond the scope of the planned features. This team is focused on fixing bugs and later reintroducing them.

Okay, not the slider, but a drop-down list with the death percentage then? Seriously, with an increased death percentage the role of the children would increase drastically, including for PC's clan.

Just as they did to "Battle Size" slider (which I am still confused about the reasons of doing that and explanation given by the devs wasn't really convincing either.

What? No, mate. FIrst of all, all worked perfectly until 116 and I played with mates from steam/epic, on persistent empires and common multiplayer, all the time. Then now I play on PC again but with XBOX console players because they are also in the situation without latest release. In addition to the fact I cannot play with other PC players due to incompatible version of the game, I cannot even use mods, because they all were updated to 128 as well.

Taleworlds are just amateurs in product release, nothing like you are describing heree.....

this is true, I don't know if console users could play with PC users, but I do know that PC users who had the game from microsoft store could still play MP (and mods) with other PC players that used steam/epic... but now you can't because the microsoft store version is not 1.2.8... for whatever reason... was this sort of compatibility even intentional? hopefully its fixed rather than removed.
