Has anyone heard anything about a possible discount for prior M&b owners or Warband Beta testers? I mean Warband is a neat addition but its a bit much for the same game over again with some added features...  :roll:

If you look in the forums sub topics, this is even under " TaleWorlds Forum » Mount&Blade » The Guildhall - Warband Expansion"

What are all of your thoughts on the matter?
 
Highly unlikely the price is fair for an expansion that is essentially a total overhaul of the game to the point of almost being a totally different game.

Not to mention the pain in the butt of working out discounts for owners of the game and seperating them from those who dont own the game.

Steam is offering a 10% discount allready for preorders.
 
To be completely fair and honest, and give both sides a fair shake - it does often feel that the singleplayer of Warband is basically the same game, with some minor improvements - little that couldn't be added in a mod, although with much better quality than most.

However:

1) It's worth it.
2) Personally, I'd support this development team in any way I could - they're not some massive evil corporation of doom, they're just a bunch of guys with some really ambitious ideas. I came in on this whole Mount and Blade lark pretty late (when the 0.751 patch was released for M&B), but it's still an amazing piece of work.
3) It's cheap!

**** off with the discounts, taleworlds deserves at the very least 25$ from former mount and blade buyers.  That is all.

You are entitled to your opinion, and like anyone else, I will ignore it. ;D

More intelligent responses like this are very welcome! More people, bring your comments here!
 
I think it's only fair M&B owners get a discount on a game that basically devalues the original to a coaster. This is coming from someone who already bought Warband.(But I'm not looking for a refund or anything like that.)

He responded and his reply is intelligent. I agree with Marmalade. More intelligent questions would be better.

See I am poor as **** and coming up with a spare 25$ for the game is going to be hard for me to get but I will still try to get it.  I would have payed 25$ minimum for the multiplayer part of it solely, but they went beyond that and added a new faction, new scenes, new items, new map, balanced game play, improved bot AI., weddings, political, revamped compat system, and much more.  I think they at the very least deserve 25$ from us, and most of taleworlds would agree.  (Most of the senior members that know what the **** they are talking about would I mean)

It looks to me that only people under the forum rank of sergeant at arms is complaining.

haha, true that mate...im poor too and just ranting....iv been playing this game since the very first beta for M&b....this comes down to a left for dead vs left for dead 2 argument really....but I will see myself paying for this as well it seems! just asking for good opinions. Thanks for the feedback mate!

Im not a forum junky otherwise i would be much higher rank. ;D

So you went on the forums and posted while the rest of us were playing the first mount and blade and that makes your opinion more important? When I'm satisfied by a game I don't come to forums. The developers should be able to defend themselves with improvements on the game. Not a bunch of forum posters at their altar.

What I ment about the ranks is to show a sign of seniority in the forums because it seems that only senior members understand how everything works.  And no you only registered in 2009, you are still in the "I joined durring mount&blade vanilla version 1.011 just so I can get into warband beta" group.

If there's supposed to be some correlation between post count and join date regarding value of opinion, guess I'm a black sheep. :roll:
 
The only measure of value regarding posting is how you post.

Time spent on forums, ingame, etc do not really matter so long as all your arguments are logical.

There are veterans who have never made a useful contribution to a discussion about Warband, there are complete newbs who raise important points with their first points and vice versa.

No.

#1).  I played in the early .600s of vanilla mount and blade 3-4 years ago so I consider myself a senior, where you seem to have only joined durring warband times so you know nothing about mount and blade and taleworlds.
#2).  Forums is the center of the warband community so don't give me that bull ****.

Posting rank != seniority.

I'm a Sgt Knight and I joined in January. I'm no senior. :neutral:
you spend too much time on forums :grin:

Mount and Blade would have sold horribly if the only people who bought it were people who created accounts and posted on this forum. It's completely dillusional to think everyone who bought the game would go on a forum not just to view it, but to also post in it.

I in fact still play .808 to enjoy a certain mod, and .754 I believe was before that they updated referenced mod. But don't take my word for that I've been playing since the .500s when zendar was still the neutral town. Jeez thinking back then I was AMAZED everytime it had a big update. Warband, not so much.
 
In regards to the new members being the ones whining I want to again point out that a lot of people loved the first game and didn't feel the need to go on a forum about how they aren't getting their moneys worth as they are now. The vast majority of people don't go on forums when they buy games, but most of the people who swarm a game's forum near launch are people who complain.

Late join date does not correlate experience in mount and blade.

The updates were free after the early purchase. Warband is $30.

While most of that is true, there are people such as myself that follow the proper channels for suggestions and beta feedback. Discussions on the forums aren't generally constructive, there's a reason why I tend to stay out of them.

Regarding the OP, I love M&B and respect how far Arms team has come over the years as an Indie developer to produce something that held my interest for so long. So, $25 is a small price to continue my support and enjoy the changes made.
 
You actually mean you're going to leave until some more elitist friends come storming in to derail the topic.

No, untill people who actually know what they are talking about and arn't too cheap to pay 25$ for an amazing game.

Graphics, multiplayer, new faction, new scenes, new items, new map, balanced game play, improved bot AI., weddings, political, revamped compat system, and much more. = 25$ for a game with about 6 developers who deserve the money.

I think you all are just selfish and need to stop thinking about yourselves.  25$ is the price for a map pack for that gay game halo I think I don't know, and people don't complain about it being over priced, yet people complain about an almost entirely new game of mount and blade that is only 25$.

People constantly complain about halo and it's overpriced map-packs and every other game not being worth what it costs.

Btw all those features you talked about can be found in mods for the original game, except for multiplayer. And saying $25 is too much for multi-player mount and blade is logical, especially in it's current state.
 
Oh so in a week they will have persistent stats, leaderboards and a bunch of other great features, balance aside? Didn't think so.

If it was perfectly balanced it would not be worth $25 in this day and age just for this counter strike equivalent multiplayer.(<<<<opinion) Now if they had something that you could carry from each game and/or an evolving avatar I would definitely argue for it's value.
