Haven't they had articles saying this for 2015 and 2016 as well? There may be more to make it more likely for 2017 but mang... the wait is real.

It would suck though if they went the EA route. They haven't done it with the previous 2 so I don't think they will.. Although M&B had a long beta. I wasn't in for the whole thing since I missed Zendar but.. I guess that could count. I got it after it had already released so I missed all of that.

Warband Evolved looks good so far, beside of "forced first person view", don´t know how I should feel about that because first person wasn´t that much fun in warband

I´m confident that it´s going to be released in 2017, there´s the gamescom in august, so the summer release makes sense

This video was probably posted here somewhere but I will repost it again here. I like that you can be skinny or fat not just one body type fits all like in Warband. And the facial animation stuff is probably going to be funny as well, lol at the Kylo Ren char when he does his facial animation gasp thing.  :P

Looks like the perspective is way off, would make more sense if horse front was closer to the "camera". Still doesn't explain the dwarf legged rider though. Looks like artist was aware the rider was completely disproportionate and tried to cover it with a skirt.

You ride with bent knees so of course he looks short under the outfit. And the horse is pretty much normal: burly necks and small legs is kind of the rule.
I dont know if Bannerlord is using late empire/dark age average height and local horses of historical-ish times but it can explain some differences with our usual references.

Yeah I thought the game was taking so long because they were working on actually, you know, making the game good. Not sure why these shitty animations are anything to make an announcement about, it kind of makes me worried that if this is such a huge thing for them that they think it's announcement worthy, they haven't made much more progression than what we've already seen lol. Seriously, who gives a shit if the NPCs are going to shake their head at you or smile, that's a nice bit of fluff but it's not article worthy.

If diseases are confirmed to affect towns that can be visited by players that also confirms that they actually plan to release the game at some point.

A lot depends on map, but it's often waiting for flags to spawn or running away from fight just not to spectate for the rest of the round.
Something that would encourage more teamplay is welcome change, it seems they aim for more competetive scene with 6vs6 game mode, we'll see how it plays.

While he doesn't mention the standard battle mode directly, I think that gif you posted is pretty close to a confirmation of its existence. What other mode he described would have a master of the field flag to raise? Odds are he just mentioned the new stuff and neglected to mention the old, as it is probably mostly unchanged from warband.

Quote
Lately, I don't get to write much code at all and instead most of my time is spent preparing our internal playtests, monitoring the sessions, gathering feedback from the participants and planning for the next test.
And the engine has been finalized for release a while ago, which means that they're done with optimization, which is the last step in game development. Seems as if they're only working on playtesting now. It's summer/autum this year, mark my words.


I didn't expect bannerlord to be that pretty, but it's a nice plus. Seems as if I got a new wallpaper

From what I'm reading on the taleworlds forum, it's a similar situation to OKAM, with the devs only testing internally and not getting the competitive scene involved at all. Hopefully I'm wrong, I do wonder if anyone at taleworlds even understands their own game's meta, though. Look how slow that long axe right swing is in the gif, literally looks like a WotR animation too. Is that whole gif slowed down or something?

OK, no more speculation. Putting it out of mind for yet another 6 years. Fingers crossed it's at least a good single player game.

Well at least I wasn't there clamoring for a release date, or I am going to die before this game releases, or my grandkids might get to play this.  :P
Heck some of the arrows even missed in that old system, where as all hit in the new one. And they even seemed to stagger him in that new one gif.

The new system seems only marginally more realistic than the old, the primary difference being that there is seemingly more pronounced (and longer lasting) stun. We can only hope that they don't let the 'prettiness' of the new system have a negative impact on combat, where everyone swings through molasses and is stuck in 2 seconds of stun after a successful block. I'm all for longer, more-realistic impact stun, so long as you can act fairly quickly out of the animation, if not interrupt it altogether with an input.

I guess they are waiting now for the next generation of consoles/PCs to arrive to satisfy all their perfectionistic desires. Otherwise I just can't understand why it takes so long. The game seemed done when they showed the in-game footage like 2 years ago, so I guess what they do right now is optimising it/creating a console port. Also I wonder how much of the things they showed will be cut off before the release for the sake of optimization and stuff (their goal is that the game can be runned on potato basically, from what I've heard before). Anyway, I'm just dying from waiting

Errrrrrr... There is arrow to shield stagger animations in Warband, albeit always the same. Why do they make it look like the "old system" had none at all? Does their "old system" is a prototype Bannerlord system from which they had removed a Warband feature?..

Overall fishy announcement on a very marginal improvement to impact animations.
Title: Re: 2/29/20

Maybe I shouldn't use the macro word, but I am refering more to specific playstyle based heavily on feinting, especially 2h animations, we all know how wierd it looks. It takes time to learn this moves, of course, but whole thing is fishy if you ask me. Some sort of feints are good to confuse oponent, but with certain animatios in Warband it just crossed a border.

It supposed to have been made by either ex chivalry devs or players(dont know how players would get chivalry code though) and supposed to address problems they saw in chivalry. But everything seems to be battle royale these days so it might succeed.

looks too wonky for my taste, the animations have no sense of impact at all which makes fighting look silly

I'm also not a friend of being able to loose your sword in mid-fight, does that randomly happen or when you get hit on the hands? May be realistic, but I don't think it's a fun mechanic on a long term

I haven't played it for a few months, but iirc it used to happen when you tried to block without stamina.

@asheram, it does still have third person view, it's obviously designed to be played in first person, though. I think the official servers are going to be FPP only. FPP was much better for duels in this game anyway, easier to follow animations and time chambers etc

It's basically just a "polished" version of Chivalry from what I can tell. I'm not a huge fan, but it does have an interesting meta with all the attack dragging you can do. Similar to Warband in the sense that a good player can get on the duel server and go 40-0, it's definitely skill based with clearly defined tiers. I'd try to get into it, but as usual, the aus servers are empty. Might change when the game releases, MIGHT

No idea, their website just says 2018. If you guys didn't like chivalry then there's no reason to be excited about Mordhau anyway, the combat style is in even more of a niche than warband, and being MP only, I can't see it ever really taking off.
Title: Re: 2/29/20
Post by: Leshma on March 27, 2018, 11:35:32 am
Small map arena pvp made for Kuyak heroes. Reminds me of those melee only server which last for one map then everybody goes back to general battle server. Because focus on melee combat sucks, plain and simple as much macro heroes and other cheating scum would disagree.

Besides no single player is no go for me. I've spent nearly 7000 or maybe even more hours on Warband. In 7000 hours I could become world leading expect in some field and push billions of dollars around. Compared to addictive online waste of time I've never spent more than 500 hours on single player game.

Mordhau isn't niche, it's dead in the water. Kinda like Of Kings of Men was even before it tanked hard.

But imagine if chadz was actually smart and didn't listen to lame people he put his trust into during Melee development. Having a game in early alpha state during 2017-2018, bearing the name Melee: Battlegrounds would be highly beneficial. Enough that not even mechanics or polish would matter, sales would be generated on the basis of having Battlegrounds in its name because internet's infatuation with Player's Unknowns Battlegrounds. Changing name mid development put just another nail to the coffin of Melee. chadz should sue whoever person came up with that idea.

I've spent more than 5000 hours playing on lowest volume/mute sounds. You can barely hear anything. Didn't have problem with cav but was constantly looking behind and around my char to check for danger. Think I have less than 500 hours playing with normal volume with all sounds turned on. Certainly wouldn't be able to play longer than 8 hours straight with repetitive Warbands sound effects being turned on.

You can usually separately turn off voice chat sounds.

Considering my little XP as QA tester at a stupid junky ape banana importing company and operating with databases of different background/profile I can say they should cut out the QA testing otherwise they will get bad reputation and prestige will go down with it. SELLING WILL GO DOWN THIS WAY. Outsourcing is not an option for QA testing, it's an image negligence. DOESNT PAY OFF, THE LEADERS OF TEAM OF QA and MANAGERS are usually apes in big companies of profiles. JUST DO IT ALONE WITH THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE AND ARE SMART AND PASSIONATE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. BUT DONT BRING OTHER PEOPLE. KEEP IT SIMPLE! THEY SHOULD CUT OFF THOSE LEECHES, TRUST ME I KNOW OUTSOURCING HABITS. BUT DONT USE IT!!!!! KEEP IT LOCAL OR YOU WILL PAY THE MOCKERY IS HAPPENING BEFORE YOUR EYES! THEY ERODE THE GAMING INDUSTRY PASSION AND PARTICIPATION. IT IS A PARTICIPATIVE INDUSTRY AT ALL !

Honestly it would take less time to grow into an adult, get married, have a kid, raise him to be a game developer and have him develop and release your own decent version of Mount & Blade 2, than it is to finally play Bannerlord.

Jokes aside, from what im gathering the delays are due to the development of the engine. Seems to me they are trying to pull a Bethesda. As in pretty much make a lot of moddable games on a same engine(or on an engine forked for it) for years, for less development time. Like Bethesdas Oblivion(and dlcs), or Fallout 3: Oblivion(and dlcs), or Fallout NV: Oblivion, or Skyrim: Oblivion(and dlcs), or Fallout 4: Oblivion.

They good thing with a closed beta is that you can pretend to have one and all those non-existing testers can't prove you wrong because of the NDA.

Bannerlord is in closed beta atm and then is going to have Open Beta btw

Quote
After this stage of closed beta tests, our plan is to transition to an open beta, meaning a large number of players will be able to access the game and be involved in the testing process. When that time comes, we will make an announcement detailing how you can apply to take part.

One thing is certain, Bannerlord will come out before both Star Citizen and whatever idea is chadz trying to turn into good game but ultimately failing at it.

Newest devblog mentions there will be no gear choosing, only predefined classes. Which is dumb, getting rid of customization for some cheaply done balance... anyway let TW know how shit it is here: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,385286.msg9132717.html#msg9132717

For vanilla multiplayer? That's an improvement in my eyes, makes the multiplayer easier to balance and more fit for the competitive scene (and you can still customize with cosmetic armor), the equipment system in vanilla warband mp didn't work well, too wobbly. Crpg is pretty close to being impossible to balance thanks to that, but that's also the point why we love it so much: infinite customization of armors and builds

Theres going to be plenty of mods, so fully customizable mp characters will sooner or later come anyways

also the armies will look more uniform and not like two bunches of mercenaries charging each other (which is also fine but, as already said, will exist anyways in mods)

The game having mods requires it to actually release which at this point seems questionable

You don't need to force complete loadouts to have decent balance... you can just as easily tune weapon stats and weapon costs and disallow certain broken combinations.

I really really dislike being stuck with one nations gear in warband mp from the looks of it I am not even going to buy BL til there is a mod to remedy it now.

Yup. Mordhau is a great example. There is no single "overpowered loadout", because the weapons in general are balanced, and they cost the right amount. A long reach, high-damage weapon means your armor is going to be limited, etc. If you want a bow, you won't have enough points for decent armor or a decent melee weapon. There's no reason Bannerlord couldn't do something similar.

From the devblog:

Quote
Some classes are clearly stronger and better equipped than others

Huh? Why?

Quote
Some of our game modes feature a respawn system, so how you manage those points throughout the course of a round will determine which classes you have access to

I think this is more or less how it was in vanilla, but I played very little of that outside of duels. Either way, I really, really dislike this "CSGO" economy. I want to play what I want to play. It's stupid I can't use whatever weapon I feel like using, or whatever armor set. Not to mention secondary effects like snowballing because of the economy. Again, no reason for limitations like these if your game is balanced, á la Mordhau.

Quote
With these changes, the entire focus of the gameplay is put onto player skill and teamwork, rather than whoever has the superior equipment or loadout. We think these changes will go a long way in preventing a snowball effect, in which the winning team just gets stronger with each consecutive round win. In Bannerlord, every round starts on a somewhat level playing field, which should provide for a more exciting back and forth between the two teams throughout the course of a match.

But... what? You just got done talking about how different classes cost more, and some are flat-out superior to others. How does that put the focus on skill rather than who has the superior loadout? How does that prevent snowballing? Your team wipes out the other team's high-cost classes, and now they either A) have less points to respawn or B) have to use shitty classes. That's the definition of snowball.

Looks like I was off 1 month on my title. Now lets see if that date gets delayed they cant even stick to the timeframe they said beta keys were going to start being passed out.



Callum on 8/28 "For those of you that have applied to take part in the beta through the link above: we will start to distribute keys next week. Keys will be sent out in waves, so if you don't get a key within the next couple of weeks, don't panic, more will be sent out over time!
Thank you for your understanding and patience."


Callum on 9/5 "Originally posted by Callum:
the forums are hidden right now, but they will be opened up and accessible next week alongside the first wave of beta invites!)"
I bet we dont even see games full release for mods til 2021
