Title: How much till hosting service provider shuts down this forum?

Are we running on fumes now, who is paying for hosting? chadz, donations, community?

How much does it even cost to run this, it really cant be much at all. They gay porn adds probably pay for it, but maybe they are only on the c-rpg site.

I know from a trusted source that chadz spends all his "minor shares" from OKAM to pay for this forum and cRPG servers. He's such a tsundere, pretends not to care, and yet he still pays for all the things.

I thought this forum would be a goner months ago(years, let's be honest) and every time the server was down I thought "this is it, goodbye my favorite forum".

I dont do ads, they are trash and dumb to smoke. I thought gay adds were more relateable to the generic crpg player though.

In 10 years this forum will still be alive, completely seperated from it's original purpose (which happened already) , new people will be joining just for forum content and we will be the kool kids with our cRPG badges and register dates.

That would be cool but I think once there´s a crpg-like mod on bannerlord which catches the interest of the majority of us, we´ll  migrate to that forum then

that´s going to be a breathtaking moment, leaving all our sweet, sweet upvotes and badges behind...

Pretty much. Once bannerlord comes out and a crpg like mod comes out, this forum will die.

Rip in peace.

I'll pour one out for the forum when it happens.

But we will know who is a cRPG veteran in that mod too. Grind upvotes there, get to high ranks, then coup the dev team.

That sounded a lot like real life here.

I have two Gameboy advance with a good amount of games in a drawer next to my toilet + a couple of pocketbooks, my shits are usually quite long for that reason. Nothing helps you to finish grinding in an oldschool Jrpg or finish reading a book like taking a shit.

You can laugh all you want but having a good shit is extremely important for overall health. One of the things that will make you go insane is serious case of constipation. What you eat, how you process it and expel it from your body affects organism as a whole. People take it for granted until they get cancer and doctors have to remove part of their bowels.

BoE had some neat ideas but execution was bad imo. I was always staunch supporter of realism in cRPG but after trying that mod I'm sure realism is not the way. Will work on cRPG like mod myself when Bannerlord mod tools are released, my ideas of cRPG like mod actually takes Krems and ladderpaulting folks as basis of experience, not the other way around. Think that hardcore players will be satisfied with vanilla Bannerlord multiplayer and won't ask for more, that's why I believe that next cRPG should offer something silly and different.

As for Strategus, that's huge undertaking. Never liked the way it was implemented in Warband but there honestly isn't any other way so it will probably stay the same for Bannerlord. If I could crack it then design would have to be equally silly like my version of cRPG.

In short, grind would be reduced and changed into something else. Variety of items would be extremely important. Names have to be funny, historical facts are out. Objectives have to be different and various and support other ways of playing the game. Would be great if there was a way to support different game modes inside same map so that people can play the way they want it and not bother others. But that's huge call, something I'm sure Bannerlord won't support out of the box and probably won't be possible to implement by scripting.

What I like in BoE were bots. Think that every gamemode could benefit from system where human player is controlling small team of bots.

For best possible feedback about your ideas I would suggest Oberyn as your Alpha & Omega tester.

As I said, vanilla Bannerlord should cover needs of those who want to compete on highest level. Fragmentation of competitive community probably won't be a thing in Bannerlord. That is why I want to make silly mod for maximum relaxation.

I doubt I'll play a lot of multiplayer in Bannerlord as I've grown kinda tired of that a few years ago, singelplayer part looks really good though and I have no nostalgia there except using the cheats and just fucking around so SP part will be good. So to answer your question, yes and no. They better not have polestun in Bannerlord.

Although people love to shit on games, I am somehow confident that Bannerlord will please the majority
I mean until now it looks like a super improved Warband and that´s practically what everybody wants

I´m not that fond of native multiplayer so I have more expectations from the mods than the vanilla multiplayer

I think the same. If Bonerlord did too many changes then it's possible people would hate on it, but it looks like an improved Warband so far.

Aye the amount of people that would come in everyday and say the game sucks then play it for 4 hours then say see you tmw was hilarious.

"strat sucks but I can't let that guy win!" I dunno.

This is my major problem with bannerlord. They know we want this. Wonder if they tried and couldn't make it work well or something. Not like they haven't had the time to try with how long they've been working on bannerlord.

There was an interview a few months ago where they talked about exactly this.

They'll only do it if they can find a way to make it fun for all the players involved. Having multiple human players on a map where the world map historically freezes whilst the player character is in a battle/indoor instance, and where the player character could manually pause or speed up time on the world map, poses some logistical issues.

The TLDR was basically "We're aware people want it but we're not going to half-ass it. Either we make it work or it wont be in the game".

*edit* found it:
http://www.pcgamer.com/mount-blade-2-bannerlord-creators-give-update-on-development-progress/

I can't be the only one who would prefer they half-ass co-op over nothing though, can I? I'm sure that from their standpoint they don't want to ship a product with a half-assed feature since the majority of the playerbase won't have done enough 'research' to know beforehand that the co-op campaign is really just singleplayer but you can fight battles with your friends. I know that my friends and I could make it work... we'd all hop into TS/disqus/skype and vote on what to to, where to go, then enjoy the fights where we all get involved. Undoubtedly most people would see only one player able to control the party on the world map and throw negative reviews at them for falsely advertising a co-op campaign. Ideally, Taleworlds makes a co-op module that doesn't ship with the base game and hides it as a free download in some corner of their website so that only people who know exactly what they're getting would find it. That, or someone in the modding community actually makes a really baller co-op experience. People tried for Warband, but it was simply missing a few key elements to make it worth spending much time on.

Post by: Taser on April 14, 2017, 12:29:09 am
Even if it was restricted to one player being able to move and the others in that player's army, it could still be a fun co op. Warband had the ability to name new groups so you could have more than just inf, archers and cav. In a co op setup like that you could have one player with melee cav, one with horse archers, one with nord inf, one with swadian inf, etc etc to make it interesting. It'd be fun although I would prefer a co op that has the players separate with the option to be in each other's army rather than that being the only option (or no option to be in each other's army and only separate armies).

I'd still prefer something over nothing though.

I just want a co op mode.. would be fun to play with a friend of mine that stopped playing crpg a long time ago. Along with people from here to make a weird crpg competition on who wins really in strat.

Course one of the main issues I have with a possible multiplayer campaign in M&B is how do you make it so the AI can handle multiple people or that people cannot abuse the living fuck out of raids on AI/other people? As a roleplaying thing, I never raided for two reasons: 1) I was going to take over the nearby town/castle eventually so why piss off the village and ruin its economic abilities for me in the future and 2) I was just roleplaying a nice guy that brutally murdered his way to an empire. But as a ingame tool, it can definitely fuck with recruiting and income for players. AI doesn't seem to give a fuck.

But yeah I like your idea of having an experimental dlc/beta thing. Would sign the fuck up for that.
