Is there one in the final game like it was in the beta? I stumbled across many arenas, but none of them is functioning. I mean one I can come to, watch others fighting and bet some groschen on myself.
Sadly it is not implemented yet. Future patch I hope. They have all the infrastructure in place so, fingers crossed.

It would be really cool to have a combat/tournament mode and afaik they are working on it like daniel stated in this tweet… at the moment you can just do some fighting training in these arenas
or here
Thanks for the replies, guys. Strange though, they had it in the beta and didn’t put it through into the release.
it was very limited in the beta though basically only fight training like we have it now
I guess they are working on something bigger
Only it’s a shame they plan to put this feature which should have been in the core game behind a DLC bar.
they went a bit over the top with these stretch goals
I think it was because they had only planned 300.000$ and when they realized its going to be much more they quickly came up with more stretch goals (only 100.000$ apart from eath other)
when they began working on the game they quickly realized that they couldnt do it it was just too ambitious.
In the end they chose to deliver them as DLC (free for backers)

They could leave the glorified tournament behind a DLC, that would be alright, but an option to spar with various fighters (perhaps for money, like archery contests) in an arena is to be expected without having to pay additional money and i look forward to seeing it.

yes but we all see the current state of the game
I agree its probably not too much effort but they just scrapped it all and focused on the main things, the last few months before release it was all about polishing and bugfixing and it took much more time than expected and ultimately they couldnt do it
Well, at least you can spar with captain Bernard with real weapons, should you want it for practice.
you can spar with cpt bernard and you can find mercenaries and the wandering knight, or I do, relatively frequently. It sucks that it is not included at the moment but there was probably a good reason, I doubt they teased in in a beta and then when “fuck you” and took it out. As long as they dont try to push too steep a price I dont think it will be a big deal to do DLC with black smithing and tournaments and such
Last I remember, blacksmithing was part of the core gameplay, they couldnt figure out how to implement it to be fun and was shafted as free DLC after release, not sure if it was part of the stretch goal.
right, but I’d rather them solidify what they have and I’m willing to pay like $5 for it, because I honestly didn’t know what all was going to make the cut and what wasnt. I dont think we should have to pay, but i’m will to meet at a low price; i’ll be damned if i’m paying like 29.99 or more for any DLC that isn’t a whole new questline and/or explorable area though
@HalfOrcSteve more than $10 DLC for combat arena? meh, no thanks. $25 (or more) DLC that spawns groups of bandits and Cuman (incl mounted lancers/archers) that can attack towns/villages or something similar? buy it in a second
If they are, then they’d lost their opposing power against the mainstream game companies. They’ve already shaken some faith from the community with the countless bugs, I doubt they’d try to rip a new one on us with dodgy DLC practises and lose that momentum of their ambitious success.
that’s what I was saying, I don’t mind paying a little here or there, but I wouldn’t pay more than like $10 bucks for anything short of an actual DLC, not a small “add on”…like give me like 5-10 hours of questline and a new castle raid or a new map area and that is a real DLC worth a little extra money
exactly, unless they’re stupid, they won’t make any risky customer-angering decisions right now…they have my support but they have a lot of people to make happy at the moment
the more enemies stuff I could see in an actual expansion, not something compared to a combat arena where peole will actually fight…that would be like if the inns had dice tables but no one every played lol. Some small interactions like that should be free in a patch as they should have been there initially, but i’ll pay like $5-$10 bucks for it if/when they charge, but no more
Hope winning the combat arena tourney yields something useful. nothing like daedric armor but something historically plausible and unique. I’d even take an armor stand to handle stuff on
Probably just a lot of gold and renown, like it would have been…which will be cool once/if they level out the economy and how easy it is to come by gold; like limit carrying type (only so many chain mails and swords or whatever) or lower selling price/extending the time it takes for a trader to replenish wealth, stuff like that
