From what I can remember the biggest problem is the different speeds at which time flows on the campaign map and in scenes (e.g. battles, visiting villages or towns etc).

What's worse, I managed to buy the game from the official store now ... and now Steam won't let me activcate the game because of "too many recent activation attempts, please wait a while". Fucking hell.
Edit: Anyone any experience when I can fucking finally activate the game on Steam? Like how long it takes for that lockout to be lifted.
Edit2: Just checked, so apparently the lockout timer is 30 minutes. Guess that also goes for the warning message about too many attempted purchases.
Im waiting along with you, decided to just get it off GMG, only a £1.50 difference and got told ive tried to activate keys too many times when putting it into steam
OP

6 million copies for the whole series as of 2015
Warband did 4.2 million copies as of 2018 https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018...-precise-player-count-for-thousands-of-games/
Pretty sizeable then, though it's 15 year old franchise with a dedicated following so it's not too surprising. Wishing them equal success with Bannerlord.
Steam was giving me trouble confirming my payment but I canceled it and switched to PayPal and it worked.
installing now.
I took today off work for it. So excited.

Was gonna wait for some reviews, but i mean i loved the first. and that GMG deal! cant pass that up.
Already got a mini army of 25 going in campaign. Was fearing it, but it feels really polished. Haven't had a single bug or anything yet.
Can't wait to hear some impressions!
Seems to be 20% off on Steam until April 13th, so I'll decide by then if early access is solid enough for my liking to jump in.

10% for the first 2 weeks, 10% extra discount if you own one of the other M and B games.
Oh great, I thought 20% seemed quite generous. Nice to know that's as a reward for previous support =)
Yeah man this looks and feels great. Also feels extremely polished for what it is. Almost 2 hours in and no problems yet for me.
So I'm trying to find a Siege match. It keeps reaching 120+ players that reach my criteria (120 required for Siege match) but it never puts me in the game :(
what do i do

>200k viewers (and rising) on Twitch at the moment, far more than anything else right now. Suppose that happens for a lot of highly anticipated new releases, mind you.
Sure, but this one is a fine starting point as well. There is no over arching narrative to these games, can jump in at any point. So far this one has the biggest ease of entry I've seen so far.
Have been enjoying the SP, although it's crashed a couple of times around a hideout. Once resolved, and once I won my duel all was well.
Now to work and wait for MP folks to trickle in so I can get some proper sieging done.

Fucking €45 (with a sale) for an early access version of a game that has been in development hell for so long? Lol, no way. And I was a huge fan of Mount & Blade back in the day.
I don't know how common this thinking is, but my reasoning in such cases is that the developer has to rebuy their good will. There are a scant few developers who've had long development cycles since forever yet manage to deliver pretty much every time - Blizzard is/used to be such a company -, but Taleworlds isn't one of them. They have one game. I'm sure they're passionate and everything, and I hope M&B2 blows the first game out of the water, but the extremely long development cycle of this sequel makes me cautious.

Not really. As far as Warband is concerned, there's an RPG-style overworld where you go between towns, trade, get quests, recruit troops from villages and run into other characters and armies. When you battle, it becomes a 1st/3rd person battle a bit like Chivalry with your army versus theirs, with some control over your army's general tactics (i.e. split into infantry, archers and cavalry and give orders to hold, charge, fire at will, follow you etc.)
I talked to the first guy in the first village and he gave me a quest to go locate and rescue a traveller and I don't know where to go? I starting riding around the village and the outer area, but there's not even a compass?
trying to talk with the quest-giver or my brother or anybody just says "disabled for tutorial"

There should be small bands of raiders milling around the first village.
Keep attacking bandits until you trigger the story. Also early game always go after any bandits/looters you can get your hands on for loot and experience and free troops.
Is this worth grabbing just for the multiplayer at this point? I played a lot of Warband's multiplayer, and pretty much only played multiplayer exclusively.
Warband is still extremely active. By how Steam buckled under us trying to buy M&B2 today I'd say there is a good online pop for this right now. I haven't checked I'm playing campaign currently, but I bet the online is healthy already.
