I know i come off as agressive, arrogant and possibly pessimistic in my forum threads, but its because i care deeply about this game and its success.
Here is a list of dev quotes gathered from 2-3 forums threads from the last week, which highlights the increase of TW quality communication lately. These are quotes regarding combat parameters, which is the main thing i'm interested in, and since its pretty much the only aspect of the game we, the community, can truly influence.
"Yes, there is an overabundance of throwing weapons, too many classes have them at the moment.
This is being adjusted."
"Cav mechanics and Spear-Cav relationships have been adjusted. Will be applied with the next MP patch."
"On top of these combat changes, slight adjustments to Cavalry behavior and Crush Through for heavy weapons are also being finalized."
"I don't have an exact change log because it keeps getting adjusted and play tested, but I can say that block, swing, feint, movement speeds are being adjusted among other changes."
"Just for a reminder, we are aware of the issues regarding troop skill levels and we are working to address this issue. Probably not right away, though."
"We will investigate the bash feature. Thanks for the video."
New quotes :
"Heavy Cav armor is getting reduced."
"Kick Slash/Throw/XBow are all getting addressed."
"Almost all horses got adjustments to Maneuverability, Speed and HP, should be on the next MP patch."
I am truly pleased by these statements and looking forward the future of Bannerlord's MP. But indeed, since i'm Yukmouth, i cannot make a 100% positive and optimistic thread. There is one last issue i have yet to gather developper's input, which is a pressing and pretty much universally known issue : The tankiness of the horses. Armored horses are too over the top tanky, and they are way too hard to damage with standard weapons such as Swords and Axes. Spears don't deal enough damage to them, which makes projectiles the only possible ways of killing a horse. And since throwing weapons will likely and very understandably be nerfed, something must be done to make these horses killable.
