I mean, I don't think we'd even be here if Bannerlord's multiplayer was actually good, on account of Chiv2 eating an Epic Games Store exclusivity deal.

Looks like 12 year old angst.

Bannerlord is still an absolute dumpster fire, just an FYI

@Zefhe if you're talking about Mount&Blade multiplayer being a game where you can "play anyway you like", you're dead wrong. If people stack archers, there are only two classes in the game: archer, and free kill.

In Bannerlord's case, losing the ability to spawn as an archer is effectively the same as being removed from the game, since all you'll do as a light infantry is feed kills to archers.

That's the main reason I ended up buying Chivalry 2, since archers in that game are actually balanced around the presence of melee weapons. As in, I can pick a melee class without worrying about getting vaporized by a firing squad.

Its a casual game, anyone can play anyway they like and if you have a problem with that maybe your the issue and your bipolar lol

Bows and crossbows in Bannerlord are chambered in 12.7x99mm NATO, and can sometimes shoot through your shield

Archers are a part of why i have my gripes with Bannerlord but the bigger problem i have is how TaleWorlds' userbase wants the game to remain intentionally unbalanced so that they can continue to farm kills from human players simply by picking the overpowered units while their enemies are stuck with the bad ones.

Warband multiplayer was (in fact, is) better than Bannerlord's anyways. B)

Chivalry 2 I respect as the modern medieval fighting game, especially with it's team objective maps. Warband still has a few active servers at times, but it's so much easier to find a Chiv2 match. I never played much of Bannerlord multiplayer (my computer wasn't able to handle it when it first came out) so I don't know how they messed up the archer balance. In Warband's multiplayer archers weren't OP.

just play ambusher . its masterclass on teamobjective maps , just find bow idealy to become uprgaded archer with more health ,stamina, backstab bonus amd 7 trowing knifes .

Considering that Bannerlord's multiplayer was already losing players even during Chiv2's Epic Exclusivity period, I'm pretty sure the only people left playing it are just flexing their loyalty to Steam. I only ever touched that game just to distract myself from how bad I am at Chiv2, though I'm pretty sure Chiv2 being free to keep on Epic will end up being the final nail in the coffin for Mount&Blade multiplayer.

I wouldn't be surprised if later down the line, TaleWorlds shuts down the multiplayer mode and Torn Banner's game ends up in a Bannerlord/Chiv2 bundle.

isnt bannerlord multiplayer pretty dead now, the commander mode was the only fun thing
