Why is Taleworlds so useless?
They said they'd fix the AI clumping up on the player with the new beta. That doesn't happen. I just watched 1 single cavalry take down 25 of my recruits after I died because all they do when they don't have a spear is chase after cav with a swing prepared. The developers just suck.

MP was supposed to be fixed. They haven't touched it in years. Do something ffs.

what do you mean with AI clumping up on the player? something like that never happened to me
Ruffio Nov 4, 2023 @ 1:42pm 
All they do? They do what they can do. If you got handed the weapon of the recruit and then faced a cav, what would you do?

At least TW isn't CA.

Stagnation? I guess the combined patch notes for the current beta branch is ... stagnation... ?

In relation to the state of the actual game, dialogue, etc compared to launch and even Warband to some degree? Yes.

Yes. Stagnation. Nothing is really fleshed out.

Maybe you should find better words to use then, becauase stagnation can be seen as lack of activity/development, Work being done on the beta proves otherwise, and devs and community managers activity on their forum proves other wise as well.

No, I picked the right word Ruffio. Stagnant.

The core game is stagnant in most areas and a lot of the mechanics and systems are not fleshed out or even complete.

I'd love to explain why and what areas I'm referring to but you're being vitriolic. Have a good one :gordon:
I'll give some.

Half baked political system.
Half baked OOB system.
Half baked criminal system.
End game just ends up player vs the world.

Those are just off the top of my head. There are more, haven't played the game in a while so I can't really remember.

Now you just have to come up with some sources of TaleWorld promise you any of the "well baked" features you want?

So far they delived what they said they would. Just because we want to see things added to a game doesn't mean it was promised to us.

I never said anything about promises. I'm just listing features in game that are pretty much half baked.

I'd actually prefer if they didn't add any more stuff and instead fleshed out what was already there. Seems like they have added lots of different things to try and please everyone but there is no depth to any of them.

Take the OOB system. 90% of players don't like it yet they haven't even tried to improve it since it's implementation. How many NEW mechanics have they implemented since then and how many have any depth to them?

Just adding things at their basic level just to tick a box off isn't exactly a good thing is it?

OOB was built that way for console gamers, to help them. It didn't work very well but Console corps gave TW $$$$$$$$$$$ so TW feel obliged to stick with it.

You believe like xbox did pay off TW to get the game on console? You do know that Warband is on xbox as well right?

TaleWorld is a independent studio. Releasing their games on consoles is just sound business, they don't need to get "paid off" to do that.

I don't know. They made this game. It's not everything everyone wants, but it muddles through.

What have you accomplished?

Forget it, Jake. It's Multiplayer. Only about nine people even care.

At least the AI is dumb on both sides.
I feel they began with good intention to make a game to rival Rome or Medieval TOTAL war. But as the project scale keep increasing, the bugs keep increasing. Also developers have roster change so maybe ideas man did not follow up with coding man. etc.

I'd like to believe that the game can be AAA but for now, its tier B at most.

I'm sure ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and moaning will get them motivated. Great strategy OP.
