M&B is such an amazing game
CRPG was fucking amazing when i started it, i had a lot of fun because i could play how i want and wasnt forced to use range, i was using an elegant poleaxe with 98 speed, i could duel with it and would rape every shielder in battle... sure it wasnt the best for duel, but god damn was it fun in battle...
it had the same melee combat as native, animations werent clunky, bouncing was way way way less "dominating" (less goretooth like herp derp rely on bounce to get kills) and yes there was a couple of player who sucked ass and were still in the top 3 of every map (beatrix, kesh, etc), but atleast i wasnt afraid of fighting them because i could flawless them without being afraid of my trust bouncing due to fucking retarded animations and screen turning speed, you could kill every bads in second because the game actually promoted single player skill and you could feint/abuse twitchy animations combo to make bads spin their screen around to not see anything.
now my fucking poleaxe has 92 speed, the mod is clunky as fuck and overhead (my favorite swing) is barely usable unless you do no twitch at all (so killing a bad now takes 5 years) and you just get zerged down because nobody kills nobody otherwise because mod is clunky, everybody stacks str and armor looms, mod is slow as hell and animations are just plain fucking retarded compared to native.
now that melee is boring and doesnt get the job done to kill people fast enough to not get zerged, cav numbers are increased, which makes playing melee even more frustrating so those who find cav boring go archers, because they dont want to quit such a great game where you have so many good memories, but little do they know is those memories are long gone, just like player skill in battle.
only legit post ive ever done on these forums, yall bads anyway, nobody ever duels on native, gotta crutch on this slowness/clunkyness/levels/armor some more jellybean.
