Why do people just want to play the same game for another 10 years? Why not take the opportunity to develop on it.
Nobody is saying it can't be similar but why does it have to be a copy?
Something new for the sake of being new is not a good thing. The combat hasn't been "developed" on, it's Bannerlord combat with a few changes. Step 1 should be making it as close as possible to NW, then improving on it. The baseline should be the predecessor, particularly as NW has been so popular for so many years.
I know it hasn't been developed on, I was on the dev team lol
But what you said above was supposed to be the idea anyway. This once again brings us back to the fact that the melee hasn't been worked on at all and was supposed to come later. Again, I don't understand why they have released the mod now in its current state. Its missing too many features and there's so much that hasn't been worked on yet. Not to mention the servers are useless so you can't run events on it anyway.
If we all know the melee hasn't been worked on and even the dev team has told everyone the melee hasn't been worked on yet, then why is everyone arguing about it on a thread for a week? (trick question, its FSE)
We will just have to wait and see. It won't be possible to completely copy NW melee because of the way the movement etc. works in BL but personally I wouldn't want a carbon copy anyway.
Considering it's 4 block and attack directions, we can safely assume that the basis of the game is the same as NW, so even if the combat is not exactly the same everything else certain is, it's still going to be the 'same game' for another 10 years, so that's just a moot point.
If the combat is currently a step back from NW, I think we should go back to basics, especially considering the most successful NW game to date is the one we've been playing for the past 10 years (unless you're including that total war game).
You are so smart Fietta what would the NW community do without you
