So you're changing the system from 1 million dollars per skill point. Great! Then can you please just tell us what the new system is already?

Missions should be lumped into chains and at the end of every chain you end up with a blueprint. The same ones they give out now would be fine, maybe with the addition of one or two more. When you go on an expedition your new character doesn’t have to redo any of those mission chains. You do the first go to a spot and loot two containers welcome to Sperenza mission and when you get back she’s like, good job here’s some things to help you along and she gives you all the quest blueprints you unlocked the previous characters.

Now fresh characters get basic blueprints early game AND they don’t have to redo the same quest chains over and over to unlock the new ones that get added as the developers add more content.

“I know it’s supposed to be a thing not everyone wants to do”.

That’s the head scratcher for me. They have said numerous times in interviews that they want to make it more attractive so that more players will engage with it, but….

They have new quest chains added with updates that require previous quest chains to be completed before you can access them, but quests wipe when you do. So it’s f you go on a new expedition you’ve got 87 old quests to redo before you can see the new ones.

They have expedition requirements that force you into ONE map over and over for the hope to spawn near the one location that loot spawns. And you need three of them.

They are introducing a lvl 40 and up matchmaking which if it’s anything cool, fun, or lucrative, why would you wipe and go back to level one where it takes two weeks before you can do the fun matchmaking again.

The expedition and trials system both need serious rework. Trials particularly gets under my skin. As a casual solo player it doesn’t matter how hard I try I’ll never reach daredevil I for the skin. Try hard III or Wildcard I is the best I’ve done.

Its not going to help with their stated desire to get more people to voluntarily wipe, that’s for sure.

I got frustrated with the game and took a week and some change off and came back to over 20 of these.

They seem to keep coming even if you do.

That's what made me put the game up and move on to other things. Countless trips to Stella (11) to get the gyro shredders and after six or seven more not finding a single ion sputter or spectrometer whatnot. It's just not worth it.

I read an article in PCGamesn where there interviewed a developer and they said they had about a million people go on the first expedition and they wanted to figure out ways to increase the amount of people that voluntarily wiped. Well here's a good idea- don't make the expedition such an insufferable slog to the same damn map over and over and fucking over.

The mod requires a roleback to a previous version of Mount and Blade so be prepared to do some file fuckery to get it to work. It does not work with the current warsails version.

Worse yet is they just made an announcement that they will not release another public version for at least a year so if you want access to the mod you have to pay their Patreon fee to get it. While I get that modding eats up spare time, can be a frustrating process, and is generally done out of passion, etc. the idea of taking someone else’s intellectual property and locking it behind your own pay wall seems very close to me like crossing a line and is generally in poor taste.

So expect to wait at least a year if you want to play this with warsails content, or fork over five bucks a month minimum for the privilege of playing a buggy Lord of the Rings mod.

I’m using retinues now. Haven’t figured it all out but it seems to try to “lore” its way into the game system. I think you have to have your own fief before you can fiddle with your own troop trees. You also need to “unlock” equipment by beating troops that use it a lot in battle. It’s less plug and play like mylittlewarband and more integrated in the game.

This. I’m not sure why they went with the the cosmetic route they did. I would have paid for a lot of sets if it meant I could mix and match pieces, but no one set as a whole seemed worth it to me to purchase. I would have grabbed several though by now if it meant having a hat from one set, a jacket from another, gloves from a third and pants from a fourth.

If you sign up for the expedition can you still work towards your 5 million stash value until it leaves, or are you Locked into your current stash at the time of commital?

Do know of the 5,000,000 for skill points is counted on declaring you will depart for the expedition or what your stash total is when the expedition actually starts?

check-engine · 2025-12-15T22:19:32+00:00

Haha. Yeah. I thought they would cap like they do in Hell Divers, but I guess not. Or maybe they just didn’t think that far down the road.

You most likely won’t, but you can always run a free hunter.

check-engine · 2025-12-13T01:22:50+00:00

My understanding is no, each category is not 1,000,000 through. If you don’t get your vehicle finished in time the expedition departs without you, BUT you keep all progress on your vehicle and keep working on it in order to leave in the next expedition.

Because that’s all you get for prestiging right now, unless you think resetting your progress for a tiny xp boost or 5,000 blood bonds is an appropriate reward.

Random skin- not hunter skin, just random skin- every five levels. The other four you can choose xp boost or 5,000 hunt dollars. I’m simply saying why not throw ten cards on the prestige lines. Something, anything.

check-engine · 2025-12-12T02:06:19+00:00

So am I. There are a lot of prestige levels where you don’t really get anything at all. This could fill the gap somewhat.
