Yep,
Reddit AMA's.
Overall the game is heading in the direction we want it to and we are certainly pleased to be in the early access stage where players can see the progress we are making with each patch. However, we are aware that there is a lot of content, such as scenes, that are still missing and some performance issues that need ironing out, so we will continue to keep our heads down and work hard to deliver a great game.
TL;DR: Overall happy, but aware that there's plenty of room for improvement.
Probably best left to one of the game developers to answer this.
We have no plans to do anything like this in the near future.
Yes, and yes. Some already made their way into the game (e.g. conversation screen on the world map), and some will be coming in future patches (I won't spoil those though!).
Because when you type in all Caps, it makes it true. When you say everything, I only need one example for this to be a false statement.
no idea why not, probably dont want them to commit themselves. Its probably a terrible idea not to, because then there is little accountability.-10% Gain in the last month...
Considering we are on track to full release by around march of next year I just cant see how you can pull off increasing your player count at the current rate of development.
Especially if you are ignoring the most requested features of the player base (example: custom servers and a load out system in MP)
There has to be a point where you have to pull your head out of the dirt and start fulfilling the player bases needs, we don't want your esports or skins.
The day there is a direct Competitor that actually values its players and modders this franchise will absolutely die unless Taleworlds wise up

Updating this thread since its a bit all over the place:
Yeah in retrospect I should have asked a proper question in my original post, but It was morso a quick rant about the state of development after being frustrated with how TW are handling the Custom servers thread in the MP forum. Id be satisfied with this thread getting locked if someone from Taleworlds can answer me one question:
Is there an transparent roadmap coming that clearly details what fixes and new features we will see by full release with clear explanations for why they they will/ wont be in the full release. Specifically the custom servers from the MP section and as for Singleplayer other users could suggest the main topics they want to be addressed.
If there isnt one coming... why?
Non sense, according to sony atleast. Leaked data from 2020 shows gamers prefer single player games and spend more time offline. Quick google search will lead you to hundred of articles on the data. Unless of course you have data from hundreds of millions of players you would like to share.....
That's not contradictory at all. Just because most players prefer single player games, it doesn't mean they play the same game for 5 years, which would be a typical timeframe for a MMO player.
SP can bring a lot of money into your bank once.
It really depends on the game though. GAAS works best if you have a really big community like the type of games you mentioned. Creating new content, customer service, servers, etc. they all cost money, so it only makes sense if you have lots of players.
Cant argue with that. Rockstars success with gta v online changed the SP market.... in a horrible way for a gamer like me, who doesnt fancy mp online. Honestly, its not the online that bothers me... its the cost associated. I practice capitalism.... though id like to play it, its simply not worth the cost. Im sure u can find horror storries of kids spending thousands on their parent credit cards playing these games. Recently read a story about a guy who spent his whole inheritence on fifa online.
I have no clue whats typical for most but your view on the "typical gamer" doesnt suit me. My three favorite games are kerbal space program, crusader kings 2 and skyrim. All are around 10 or more years old. One is still in active development (ksp), ck2 just exited development a year ago, and skyrim, along with creation club content.... my gosh the replayablity due to mods....
Some of my favourite games are Jagged Alliance, Medieveal Total War and Gothic. They are also quite old. I don't identify myself with the typical gamer. As a general rule, everything that is typical usually sucks, regardless if it's music, books, movies or video games.
