Just a spark from moddersSome may not give a ****, but in my eyes it is truly a shame and impotence to see so much development time and feedback totally wasted running in circles one step forward two steps back™. If only the master server of Mister out of time had never been closed... now we would have a tailor-made MP if the then hot synergy had been put to good use... everyone wins.
End goal? Taleworlds does it know?
...now there are no more embers.
Well, I'm not quoting other people's number, I can only use the numbers I see when I log in at around... 8-9 pm GMT. At that time there's an average of 90-100 people on the EU servers, some in TD, some in Siege. The NA servers are at around 40-50 players, this number swells to around 150 tops at their prime time (just after dinner, I'd reckon.) At its peak, and for at least 3 years after release, Napoleonic Wars consistently had 800 players between EU and NA, and that was during EU prime time, don't know about NA prime time. Warband had fewer players, but more than three times as much as Bannerlord had in the year after launch.
You actually bring a really good point regarding to passive perks.
Still makes me sick to even think about it.
third perk probably coming soon, it's sort-of referenced in the file that contains your perk selections (see
Documents/Bannerlord/Configs/MPDefaultPerks<Numbers>.xml - there are 3 possible perks listed per class, with the last always being 0/default - i.e. not used yet)Okay that's interesting. But it still makes me think, if third perk is implemented, why it wasn't there when passive perks came out. Or are we getting multiple passive perks? Or is it just the old case of mix up the perks for the sake of it. Gotta wait for that surprise patch!
You're wrong. NA is completely dead to the point not a single skirmish team has fought another skirmish team in somewhere approaching 6 months. There have been no skirmish team tournaments (besides two unsuccessful draft tournaments) in about a year. The entire community consists of less than 30 active individuals. Warband always had something going on in NA, several hundred competitive players being active. In fact, there are probably more active Warband competitive players now in NA than active competitive Bannerlord players. At any given time during the day, Warband multiplayer has more people playing native than Bannerlord multiplayer. If you count multiplayer mods, it's not even close.
Well, I don't know if you're wrong or not, to be honest. I don't have much more than anectodal evidence - I can only tell you what I've seen while playing during my usual gaming time (which is between 8 and 10pm GMT. It's far from being 100% accurate, I'm sure.
Some people prefer the challenge of taking on an opponent that actually thinks, unfortunately there aren't many people who can do much in the way of thinking in Multiplayer but its still better than nothing, even with the few dozen repeat-offender cheaters running rampant and being repeatedly ignored by Taleworlds "anticheat" system.
Mount&Blade combat is obviously way better than **** games like Mordhau and Chivalry. People complain because Bannerlord is worse than its 10 years old predecessor. Bannerlord has so much potential but the devs keep being devs...
Maybe you didn't get the memo, but this game has officially been renamed to 'ride &cut 2: flag baron'
You are talking about Warband, right? Ya its years ahead of all other medieval CODs bound together including Bannerlord MP
No need to read the rest after that statement.
