Played some last night. Great fun but most of the time I couldn't hit jack shit.
Mostly played siege though. With a constant ping of almost 200.
I swung slower than anybody else. Didn't think a high ping would have that much consequences.

Pings over 100 are a major disadvantage in this game, sadly.

Hopefully they'll touch up the netcode a bit more before release.

Man, fuck Steam. Was all excited to buy this today, but have to wait til tomorrow now.

Edit: Eh, seems it might be Paradox's fault. Oh well.

Really?

Steam://install/48700/

I've played it for a few days and it's quite nice, small improvements here and there compared to the first M&B title.

Start the exe directly, set the options and then play if that doesn't work.

Works fine here but I have not tested with Skidrows crack, might give a different result.
(Perhaps some of the default options causes problems when in fullscreen but I don't think much was enabled aside from the basic stuff that could be set in the launcher, more advanced things like MSAA and HDR were in the in-game options.

I highly doubt you'll play MP without a legit key.

AA is technically incompatible with the HDR method used incase you were using both.
(Can be done by re-ticking the options as they get disabled when enabling AA.)

EDIT: For compatibility forcing AA and having it disabled in-game but with HDR enabled should work.
(NVIDIA with Oblivion Compatibility or a renamed EXE for ATI could also work.)

I heard good things about this game, but never got down to try it. I guess this release is a good start for me? Hope as you all it will also work online, since this seems an online game first.

In no way is this primarily an online game. Singleplayer is where it's at, even though the mp is pretty good.

Edit: Also, why is my bought game just Beta 0.860?

Tried to connect to several servers but all droped me back with the wrong version message, and eventually one of them with a "wrong serial" error. So unless they make cracked servers, pirates are out of luck.

BTW: is it just me, or is there really a serious shortage of roaming bandits? Barely managed to find 2 looter bands (one was too fast and the other was slaughtered by a Rhodok party before I reached them). I really need to find some sea raiders for some phat lewt. Smile

The map is amazingly huge compared to the vanilla M&B, even some bigger mods. I also like what they did with couching. You can now only couch the lance for a brief period and need to wait between attempts. Really counters the overusage of that those bloody things.

I usually encounter roaming desert raiders in the eastern city regions, not many regular bandits in the rest of the map but I've been seeing various deserter gangs lately along with mobs of peasants just traveling around and the usual raiding parties and caravans.

I guess I'll have to sustain my party on slave trading until I can join a faction.

EDIT: wow. Killed off a desert bandit party and after that, one of their hideouts appeared on the map. Cool. Very Happy Getting that money and manpower infusion from Paradox really helped them.

No, that first quest was for 'looters', not the desert bandits (I started in Swadia). The second lair was generated randomly. And I'm 99% sure there will be more, since I failed to raze it and the game said they fled and will set up a new camp somewhere else. So I bet after defeating a few more parties, a new one will pop up.
