Noudelle has contributed massively to this beta, some of you are taking this light-hearted quip too seriously. I will say though that the sentiment behind it is more than fair, when TW says "learning and mastering the game's much-improved combat mechanics" it's as if they were unaware of all the current combat issues, it's as if months of feedback were wasted, in short it sounds like a joke.
Mabons is absolutely correct with this post:
The more beta keys are sent, the more people come to the forums exclaiming that all those who criticize combat merely wish to see Warband 2.0 with spinning-720-janky-animation-epileptic-spazzfests, and that combat looks and feels great in reality. It's only natural since new players won't have enough experience to recognize the underlying issues and nuances of combat, or won't care to, and they will always constitute a majority. In the end it will be up to TaleWorlds to decide what feedback is valuable and worth considering, and what is meaningless praise. We'll see what happens through EA.
I completely agree.
Some people need to calm down here, I see a lot of aggressivity and yet I'm still waiting for people to give constructive criticism. People like Noudelle, Gab, Gibby, Varadin, LeRoux, OGL and many more,... all gave constructive criticism over the combat's aspect of the game in details, trying to fix issues, getting it to be more responsive in order for every player to appreciate the game even more, making it more responsive and less frustrating. Taleworlds developpement team, thanks to the feedbacks they received from this part of the community ( mostly competitive ) and their hard work, managed to improved considerably that aspect of the game and will keep improving it,...
Meanwhile I'm still waiting for the arguments of the people telling us Bannerlord's combat is an improvement over Warband's combat. Tell us in details, what do you think is better gameplay-wise, what feels better for you ? Do you think it's more responsive ? Do you think the combat feels more nervous and less janky ? Tell us ? I'll be waiting.
Guess it's easier to say Amen to everything especially when the same people are struggling to choose the right direction of their attacks.
