i leave the community, when its quite lively, every event (more than one event on at a time) never fails to max out the 200 population cap, afk's needing to be kicked to make room for players who are going to be active. the chats in lb's arent filled with twelvies
that was about 10-12 months ago, i played another lb yesterday and the event was the only one in the list of servers at that time and barely made 100 players. and the chat seemed like a bunch of parents were making their kids play the game.
who, what, when, where, why and how

Mount & Blade: Warband turned 6 years old. We should be glad it's not dead yet.
Welcome back, though. Nipplestockings needs a good spanking.

M&B and especially NW is dead, deal with it

Nah, it's just playing with Nr. 6 that gives you this impression.

Mount & Blade series went on sale for 75% off again. However of course Napoleonic Wars community is ever on a down crawl to eventuality.
-
dude this game is old as fuck and 90% of the community got burnt out within 3 years, and now everyone left is only playing because they have nothing else to do.

Isn't this usually the fact with games?
-
Population is still okay (except for the fact that a huge chunk of it is in only two regiments) but the only good LB events are the 63e friday ones
Everything else is FOC trash or just badly moderated, so yeah i also remember a year+ ago before i took my break how many good events that were held.

It's a multiplayer game and the linebattles have mostly kept the same format for 2-3 years (rules have changed) with occasionally some hosters deciding to try something new (and exciting?). People slowly get bored with the old types on LB's and IMO there aren't enough hosters that try something new which would keep people interested. Also there haven't been any large mod releases (based on NW) during the last year that would have gotten people to reinstall the game and try NW again.

it looks like when new hosters try something it doesn't seem to actually work out

IMO, the power-hungry, participation generation killed this game. The current "leaders" of regiments do not accept responsibility for anything and point fingers at everything. They are simply raising private armies of blind loyalists. They even make rules against their enemy to put them at a disadvantage!!!
I offer leadership classes. It is what we are missing in this game and society. I don't claim to be the best leader, but I can train the natural-born leaders to be even more effective and responsible. Teaching responsibility only comes through experience and we can offer it to you from the start. We take turns with officer, sergeant, and private roles. Experience the burden of true leadership!

EU seems to be doing fine to me. NWL is doing great and there are lots of big tournaments to play in. Lots of regiments get good attendance too

wait what the fuck is this. who the hell are you and why are you treating this like peoples lives are on the line like in real military leadership.
as someone who has been trained by real world military leaders in military leadership, i can say im pretty disappointed that people have legitimately taken video games this far.
leadership doesn't come naturally, theres no such thing as someone who has been born a leader. the first step to become a leader is to be a common soldier, thats why at most military leadership college's around the world teach you how to be a soldier before teaching you to lead. so youve already got the wrong idea of what defines a leader and how to properly lead
but ffs this is a video game its not fucking training leaders to fight Daesh in Iraq and Syria, no one will die if a reg leader in NW did a FOC and then banned someone else who also did one.
dude the shit has been beaten out of this horse
yes youve already said something along the lines of that in this thread m8

The Aussie community still survives...it has mutinied many times and is unique in the fact that it has steady growth, and continues to do so, with the Chinese and other Oceanic/South American/East Coast groups..allas as we have always said..the EU and US community do as they wish. MOV gave up on the EU/US and instead focused on the South American scene and Oceanic scene.

I'm 99% sure that there is an underground Asian community somewhere, plotting with the Australians to take over this forum with an unstoppable army of adbots.
-
huehue...there is a large group of koreans who make custom maps for us xD ...but yes..we as proud 'europeans' have done our rightful duty by forming up the local natives for a takeover...we are poised for total success I do assure thee...we shall ofcourse offer the Dutch remnants of the NW community owndership over those that reside in the former dutch colonies...

Then I would like to get into a constructive conversation with you on what your grievances are, if other people share them and any solutions you have come up with.
Feel free to add me on steam or message me on the forums. I would be most willing to help the community with any issues they might have.
If you are not willing to do the above, then that's fine and you have every right to, but then I would like to request you stop foul-talking without any constructive arguments or ideas to change it.

Who thought it was good idea to give moderator to Karth after he went missing (probably jail) for a year all he does is abuses his admin to gain power for 63e and Duuring does nothing about it. Moderators are just bad. They also did really little to support events and they didn't host any themselves.

I have come across this 'Karth and 63e'-bullshit far too often in one week's time to ignore it.I will be looking into it.
Furthermore, if you have a list of grievances, I would prefer it in PM so I can look it over any time. It is also a more private setting than this. I thank you for bringing this up.

First time someone from FSE staff actually responded.

Ok I don't know if this is a troll message but I'm going to pretend it's not.
In my opinion this forum never played a big part in the grand scale of player activity. The only server that even mentions this forums exists is NW_Official_Eu1. The majority of new recruits I've talked to during two years had no idea what even is FSE, let alone know that there is an actual forum for this game where events are hosted. Most people here seem to be old users from back when NW was newish and the newer players use Steam Warband forum if they have questions
-
Let's make it clear for the record: I am not FSE staff.
But in my attempts to get the FSE moderation to talk about this with me: I have done so and will report my findings in a while. Give me a week or two to sort this out.
I am of a mind to put the entire matter to rest.

Do you have a problem with me trying to teach responsibility through a video game?
-
I'm sure that he doesn't, however it seems to be a bit silly imo to call regiment leaders "power hungry" and that they are "raising private armies of loyalists". This is NW not fucking game of thrones

Tell that to them. If anyone takes offense to what I said AND is a regiment leader, then my opinion obviously strikes their conscience. I only know a few regiment leaders that are the opposite of "power hungry."
If your regiment flatters you on a daily basis in hopes of attaining power, you might have a "private army."
Please excuse my generalizations, there is always an exception to my generalizations.
-
There is no "power". Every regiment that I've been in is just a group of friends having fun.
"If anyone takes offense to what I said AND is a regiment leader, then my opinion obviously strikes their conscience" This is the most bullshit statement I have ever heard in my entire life. It's like calling a disabled person a retard and then saying that they must have a guilty conscience when they get offended. How can someone being offended by an insult be seen as an admission of guilt? You are trying to make the game more than it is. You scold the regiment leaders for bickering and talk about how they are ruining the community and then come in insulting people and disrespecting the established community. Do you not see the irony? How many hours do you even have in the game?

I'm sorry to upset you. But I could explain in further detail if you attend one of my lectures rather than to continue bickering and allowing me to hijack this thread. The lectures are outlines that are based on textbook sources. What I had said was an opinion and I defended it as purely subjective. All opinions are subjective. Getting upset at a generalized opinion is a sign of personal response.
-
Could you link the textbook sources about how to lead people in NW? I would love to read it. Might even send it to Chriseh. Also could you answer my question? How many hours do you have in NW?

I blame the USMC

I have 750 hours, but that is irrelevant. If you want to learn about M&B:NW, there are people within our academy that are more qualified than I am in that regard. If you want to learn how to establish a proper discipline plan for your regiment, use this book:
O'niell, R. E., Albin, R. W., Storey, K., Horner, R. H., & Sparague, J. R. (2015). Functional Assessment and Program Development for Problem Behavior (3rd ed.). Stamford, CT: Cenage learning.
I'm here to help, I'm not trying to steal anyone's glory.
-
There is no glory, it's a video game. 750 hours is not enough to be able to criticize people who have thousands of hours.
-
That's the end of our argument.
-
Why? I don't believe that a discipline plan is needed for a game where most people want to have fun. I've seen regiments where people are too uptight in the way that they run things which has led to resentment from other people in the regiment. You even admit you don't have sufficient experience in Napoleonic Wars and yet you still continue to say that regiment leaders are making the community worse. How can you say that when you don't even truly understand for yourself the ins and outs of the community and how the leaders work and run? How many of the elite regimental leaders do you speak to?

Think of regiments as a piece of art, give anything a paint brush and canvas and you'll get "Art". Now it takes skill, dedication and money to run a successful regiment. Gone are the days of regiments of lower tiers such as *cough* 101st AirBorn Foot Marines Arty many players like yourself have hours into the hundreds and understand some regiments are just dog shit and some not. When you say people are at each others throats it's because they are, regiments are worth something and have value not only to the regiment leader but it's members.
Winning is important when its so risky to run a regiment.
I was going to type something cocky about being the best thing since slice bread but I cba. I suggest my dear friend you just accept that this is whats keeping the community alive and there's still people enjoying linebattles all these years later. If people are having fun let them? It's a game, dont get too frustrated.
-
People get bored of the novelty of 200 man events fairly quickly and at this point there aren't enough new players joining to replenish that 200 man LB community. For most of us all that's left is competitive 1v1s, but many of the old school players of the competitive scene have left, along with their rivalries that made the competition more interesting. The game is just too old. It's been declining slowly. I'd say the 63e partly accelerated this by monopolizing a large portion of NA recruits.
-
Well, people have been calling NW "Dead" since late 2014, the reality was and still is much different.
Yeah, the playerbase is steadily declining in quality and in numbers, but the truth is a lot more complicated.
Especially the EU events are still very active and lots of people join but most of the time regiments are not like what we were used to. Lines are a lot smaller on an average and most of the times it feels like small group-battles and not Line Battles.
Public play though... that is another story, here the numbers have REALLY drastically dropped. The good ol' full siege servers have completely disappeared and the very few servers that get populated aren't even offering the classic NW experience (which is not definitely negative)
Sadly enough, the community is currently full of old players who have zero patience due to their being fed up with the game and with a few new players who try to cope with the way things are...and eventually copy the "fed up" behaviour.
So, when people tell me "NW is dead" or "NW is alive" my reply is always ... The NW community is an undead zombie slowly rotting ;)

A lot of people were in high school when the game was at it's height (2012-2013). People change though. To put it simply, I think a lot of people just grew up and realized NW wasn't so important to them after all. Now for the significant decline in Pubs, I think that is because Warband is old. Ask yourself this question, would you spend $20 (price on steam) on a 6 year old game when to be honest, there is newer and frankly more interesting games out there for that very same price?
