This, not even talking about the lack of hold attacks, only one, very obvious way to feint, no such thing as chambers and attacks mostly not interrupting the opponent's attack. Which makes the game very spam friendly. I managed to do pretty well in my first hours and mostly topped the scoreboard, did not require much blocking, which I've found really awkward and unpredictable. Got myself surrounded by 6 enemies and I engaged sideswing spam mode, killed all six of em. Well, interested to see where time takes the combat.
I noticed myself being really awesome at Warband though after two hours of this. Really ups your feeling for timing I guess. Oh and also, playing Warband after Chivalry was like crawling back into your bed after a really shitty day.
Servers were full of noobs yesterday, and for warband veterans is really easy to kill people without experiance in melee games, i do it all the time even if i havent any skill in chivalry combat, simply because of awareness, range control, changing targets in group fights...
I am waiting for duel server, to see how deep is 1v1 combat, but there are some very skilled players already, using feinting, delaying, jumps over block...and probably others i dont know now, that kill me all the time.
