I know a lot of players don't stick to a monotone cultural getup when they play, but a lot of players probably do what I do; try to stick to culturally appropriate armours and weapons for the culture I am playing. I take this mentality with me to smithing as well, where I try to smith and use weapons that suit my characters culture appropriately. But I have some exceptions; I often use animal pelts for shoulder armour when playing as a Vlandian or Imperial. If I play as a Sturgian I may use some Khuzait armour. And if I play as a mercenary or Lord for a different cultural faction than my character is from, I may use a mix of regional armours and use my own culture for a weapon. Example; I played a Nord corsair mercenary for the Empire. I used gilded scale Imperial armour with gilded scale shoulderguards, golden pirate gauntlets and boots, and a brass Aserai helmet with a Nord one handed sword with gilded pummel and handguard. Anyone else give themselves similar cultural restrict...
Be prepared for spiteful reviews. *If* you enjoy the EA I recommend you support it with a good review. A MB statement regarding the community and EA.
I don’t know if everyone here knows this, but the steam forums and comments regarding this game are quite cancerous. Many will give the game a negative review out of sheer spite due to the wait. Many will ignore the EA label and blast the game regardless.
If you don’t enjoy the EA and have major concerns, then I can respect a negative review. Especially if the EA is literally unplayable and TW lays an egg. But, many reviews will be done out of sheer hate.
As a community I think this subreddit and the TW forums are quite healthy, fair, and supportive of the MB franchise. We all want the game to succeed. I think it is important that if you enjoy the EA, that you should take 5-10 minutes to give the game a good review on Steam, and Metacritic and so on. This should be a community measure to combat toxic reviews and the trolls. We should judge the EA on its merits.
Also TW, if the EA is literally a buggy and unplayable mess equivalent to Fallout 76, then you will lose a lot of good faith that you have with your customers. This is a just a unfortunate fact. I’m begging you to not fuck it up.
I think most of the community expectations of EA are these:
The game will be quite buggy and glitchy. (Not so much so that it is unplayable and a mess).
The game will have all the traditional MB core gameplay mechanics.
The game will have a mostly fleshed out early and mid game.
The game will have about 70-80% of promised features implemented in some form or another.
The late game will be somewhat lacking due to absences in kingdom management and kingdom creation features.
MP will be as good if not better than what it currently is in the closed beta. Sieges when?
The EA will have regular patches and updates, that improve and add features to the game.
The game will not be in EA for more than 10-15 months.
I think these are quite reasonable expectations TW. Once again, “Don’t fuck it up.”
Am I wrong?
