Ofcourse the gameplay has nothing at all to do with it, nope, no chance at all.

I don't think anyone denies it could be one of many factors.

It could indeed be that the novelty of all the new skins, maps and atmosphere has worn of and then players are feeling as though it's a melee system that doesn't allow for much long term development of skill due to the sheer impreciseness and crudeness of it. I am pretty sure the thing that made MM popular for so long in the public sphere and to an extent the size of the regiment community was how the melee had a high skill ceiling, was intuitive and took a rewarding effort to master.
 
In this case, change the melee!  :P

All the players are in my yard, because I make the best milkshake.

We've both understood his sarcasm. He's sarcastic about melee not being a problem because it very much is a problem and both Modig and I recognise this too. He's also one of the people who has real qualms with the melee system and has complained about it numerous times, look at his post history. I think your meter is broken.  :|

I really enjoyed conquest mode now none plays it and also none plays on the 84e siege server no more for some reason so I lost the will to play.

I also play late and this game is unplayable on US servers with 170 ping.

There are linebattles every weekend, even during the working days. Every evening I see 150+ players on either official battle or 51st siege and 84e siege, what are you talking about?

Ah yes, the classic "Oh, I knew he was being sarcastic! You're the stupid one for not realising we were being sarcastic too! Ahaha!" :lol:

What I meant was that noone had mentioned gameplay as a reason for the games decrease in popularity. Which I found amusing as it is imo the reason for a lot of the player decline.
Even though the amount players that would like a change in the melee system arent in a clear majority, there is a problem when almost half of the player base would like to see a change (atleast forum go-ers, most ppl arent active on the forums).

The thing that disturbs me though is that the developers didnt give any response to the complaints (atleast that I heard of). And when they finally do respond its saying, "We made a poll if ppl wanted overhead stab and it was voted yes" and saying that we first want change and then are not happy with it and just want more change, so they are not gonna bother changing it again.
It is a shameful attitude to have as a developer which really did surprise me. While playing, not enjoying the game what kept me going for some time was the though that it would be fixed or atleast addressed in some way.

I really looked forward to this game as I really enjoyed MM and I got really, really dissappointed.

The developers have been great in my opinion, from what i have seen they are dealing with what seems one complaint at a time people complained that swords were underpowered and needed a buff and they have done so all the other "problems" for now are pretty much just a matter of opinion.
