TablutThe community should pick an Idle game to play between rounds.
Now regarding the game modes, mp main page, features etc, they are sticking with a lot of what Warband was/has. Maybe its because what they know or their workforce capability, but I like it.
What audience are they trying to appeal to? Warband players me-thinks
what? lol
you are categorically wrong.what? lol
Do any Warband players like Bannerlord MP? I've yet to meet one.
As far as eSports goes, the only videos I liked watching from M&B was the big battles, not 6 on 6. cRpg ones were great because you could recognize players through their armour and personalized clan banners.
This.They want to appeal to the e-sports crowd but don't seem to understand that medieval melee fighting games are a niche by definition and if you ignore your niche you'll be left without players fairly soon.
Actually it is the opposite, metas have been more different in Bannerlord during 1 year then Warbands have been during 10.Strategies evolved over years in Warband, but they're pretty stagnant for Bannerlord. This could be because competitive-minded people aren't sticking to Bannerlord as much as they did in Warband, or because of existing class/mechanic/game mode imbalances, or just general lack of popularity. Changing game modes is a one-off way to force a change in strategy, but new metas in popular games are picked up fairly quickly at the top end after balance passes or overhauls. We're not seeing much in the way of iterative meta development in Bannerlord.
It's a shame, really, that the people who had been dying to push the envelope are so disillusioned with the game and its progress that they've abandoned it.

We had lots of heavy inf during early stage, then we had a time of crush through where shocks have been used. Now we have skirmisher, multi spawn meta. Warband had the same setups for almost all its life cycle once 8v8 became standard.Like?

I am not defending Bannerlord, i am just saying that Bannerlord has not had a stale meta because it is factually wrong , most game design choices are absolutly bad. Of course its because stuff is under or overpowered. You are beeing paranoid, i never said thats good, the throwing spam meta at the moment is a steaming pile of crap, the crushthrough was not thought out and removed, it still changed the way the game was played. Now in contrast to Warband tell me, which metas were played as Swadia? The oh so balanced awl pike meta. What happened as Nords? Well the totally balanced javelins were handed out to infantry in every match i ever played. Now show me where Warband had meta changes from 2012-2020.These are not metas, these are downright overpowered or undertuned. All the metas of bannerdog as a game are a result of other things being nerfed to the ground and being downright useless or extremely undertuned therefore not being usable. Metas are what is forming as a strategic use and can co-exist in numbers. Keep defending bannerlord though for its choices, im sure and the 10 others who play it enjoy it
