Tournament fighting does not level fighting skills, why? - Poll Yes or No

[TrashMan]

Maybe give XP in tournaments but if you lose the tournament you also lose some or all health, to make it less spammable (unless you're good )

The best way to balance it is to make tournaments rarer.
Also, the town/castle lord would have to be present and there MUST be a feast after it, and you as a player should be given audience.

Basically, once a lord return sto the castle and decides to rest, he might organize a tournament, in which case you will be notified if you are in the region.

I mean sure, but I kind of like how common they are now, and they give way less gold than they did in warband already. I feel like its actually viable to create a character with the idea of being a tournament fighter as a career now.

Wow, this is WAY more one sided than I thought it would be lol.

Glad to see the 'git gud' elitism doesn't extend to this part of the single player game.

Well i made the poll simple and obviously i'm biased and voted yes after that you can elaborate what you would like to see or not beyond a simple yes or no or whatever reply

No that's fantastic. I think the over-complicated polls can dilute responses. This makes it very clear.

yep, the reply button is here to elaborate

I think they should change it to normal battle, or reduce the exp gain a little. Lets say to 75% of the normal rate, if it impacts the gameplay so greatly.

I just had an idea of a career as a swordmaster in the game, that challenges every opponent to see who is the best and travels the world. Without the tournament exp it is impossible tho.

Obviously you should gain XP from participating in tournaments, but not as much as in real battle

Exactly. You're using weapons, you should gain proficiency in those weapons. That's been a staple of both Mount and Blade in particular and RPGs in general time immemorial.

 

[arthur666]

Yes.
I really like those ideas of gaining XP but not at the same rate as in actual combat, and of getting wounded in the arenas so you need time to recover and can't just spam it all day.

Regarding this XP thing and the auto-block option, yall here in the official forums are way more civilized than those animals in Steam discussions.

Agreed, agreed, 1000 times agreed!

(As is completely obvious from my post in the suggestion forum about it https://forums.taleworlds.com/index...n-experience-from-tournament-fighting.403852/ )

 

[vahadar]

95% yes out of 160 voters, i guess we are on the right path

 

[vahadar]

Bump of the weekend for the poll.

 

[Worven59]

Same i'd really like they implement it, i'm pretty sure it's a bug and not intended.
