Nothing will ever beat the old CRPG experience for me. Outsmarting and demolishing tens of people in close range melee is my favorite PvP experience ever. Then again, I was a no-life 2000hr+ player by the end of it.

I played as Hannibal. Me and my friend BigSandwich were both speed warspear users, circle strafing people and stunlocking them. But I had all types of characters...cav lancer Megatron, horse archer optimus prime, mallet user stop_______hammertime, throwing weapons OK, one hander dead pirate bro, two hander wizbiz...truly a great time.

I wheedled my friend into hopping onto a Warband native server. He’s not bad at the game but the only people who still play TDM are hardened veterans who caused him such rage that he vowed never to play it again. There goes my effort to thin out the proportion of weird racists on my favorite servers.

Yeah these types of games can have a high skill ceiling that reward people for putting tons and tons of time into it, which is another reason why the crpg mod had the appeal it did to those kinds of players (and made it even more difficult for newbies).

Sadly this is the fate of all history themed games when they get old. Nothing but racist die hards as far as the eye can see.

Bannerlord has a lot better community solely due to the fact that the game is never coming out.

i watched about 30 seconds of a dev video for "spire of sorcery" the other day, and, in it, one of the devs is wearing a bannerlord shirt. he mentions that his studio and taleworlds have a friendly competition to see who can launch their game first.

"spire of sorcery" is tentatively scheduled for Q3 2019 release.

Has anyone been playing the 108 Heroes mod?

Just started it (and PoP) and it's kind of frustrating with it's lack of documentation. At least outside the game. I noticed it has quite a bit of in-game documentation just recently. I haven't trolled through all of it yet.

But comparing it to Pendors wiki, it feels lacking. Granted, it is a Chinese mod so it's understandable why.

Between it and Pendor, I'm leaning more toward the overall polish Pendor has. But those legendary weapons....mmmngh

Yeah the melee combat looks really underwhelming after Mordhau but the overall game will have a lot more going on so I guess it's an ok compromise.

I like that it looks mostly unchanged, just more fluid animation wise. I love the old MB combat formula even if it's a little janky.

Good sign, that means the game is done and there's no more need for a manager, right? Looking forward to Q3 2019 release and full pendor mod Q4.

I watched the first 4 minutes and it doesn’t help that the players being spectated are hilariously bad. Tons of swings that aren’t even close to the enemy, not a single manual block (without a shield) and even the guy with a shield was not blocking enough considering he was 1v3. Also the guy rushing the archer with his shield on his back goes to further show the low level ability of the players.

Yeah, they really needed someone on staff to say things like "do we really need dynamic horse rein physics" or "how about we have one less faction to work on."

Yeah, it's weird, M&B combat can look really cool if the fighters actually know what they're doing. These guys, tho...

It seems like the people making rein physics have nothing better to do because there are huge issues in another area that are holding the game back

IDK about you guys, but I actually don't really care about Bannerlord multiplayer much. I'm not sure how many people really will, given that the genre has become a lot more crowded. What I really want to see are signs that single player has seen improvements where it really needs it, namely in terms of unit AI and overall quality of life in the overworld map and dealing with AI lords etc.

I wish we had some transparency on what exactly is holding the game back from even an early access release. We first saw gameplay footage four years ago - for an average studio, that's enough time to fairly comfortably take a game from conception to release.

Yeah I just want the warband campaign but improved, mainly in terms of AI like you said. If you’re holding out for multiplayer I don’t know what to tell you because mordhau is right there and it’s very good.

More than one thing can be good at a time. Mordhau is great and all but M&B multiplayer is different enough with stuff like the incoming improved Captain modes, and also the modding and community support, that it's easy to be excited for it as well. Plus if you ever get tired to dumping on nerds in CRPG 2 or Full Invasion 3 or whatever you also have the singleplayer to relax in.

Seeing that historical MP games are weirdly havens for chuds (and it seems like the mordhau devs tacitly approve of it), I’m not all that jazzed for bannerlord MP. All I want is a better campaign, reasonable vassals, less randomizes diplomacy and a sane endgame.
