Armagan stated that there is some mechanic in Warband that equalises pings up to 50 in terms of blocking. Haven't asked cmp to check on this though. So the advantage of a ping below 50 is mainly for attacking because of the model-hitbox drift between client and server.

Doublie clicking the block when in doubt or being pressed helps a lot - maybe even for this problem.

I recognize the problem, for the first time people actually acknowledge it it seems. I have been ridiculed so much, whenever I said that it went right through my held block without outangling me. I have even experienced me holding an upblock, then it changed into another block without me releasing RMB.

Also, some days I can block fine, my feints feel responsive, and everything feels smooth. Other days I keep getting hit while I actually click on time, but my character is just slow to respond to my clicks. I can actually see it when I just block, the block animation begins noticably later than I click. I should have a pretty stable connection, so I think thats serverside. My ping is almost always 30 ms, and I doubt thats causing it.
