There has been a drop of players in my favorite servers due to this patch. Most complained about the bayonet being slower and buggy. I've noticed a few bugs myself when your overhead stab gets parried, your bayonet seems to get stuck for a whole second ( or less depending on ping ) before you can perform a down block. There are also ghost stabs when players performing 2 down stabs with one click, and stabs with no animation after being blocked. I dont have a problem with cavalry, except with them not being able to rear up anymore. Didn't Alexander defeat the Persian chariot cavalry when they charged by placing pikes in front of them and they all reared up and died? Same technique goes for all historical battles. Even so, in commander battle, cavalry formation for infantry seems useless, when defending against charging heavy cavalry. 25 infantry vs. 22 heavy cavalry, infantry usually wins with only 3 people left, but still they win. But now that horses dont rear up, they just ride right over them and slash away. It's very frustrating to play in this kind of melee style, since most of us are acclimated to the old patches. Now all those people who complained about bayonet being unblockable blah blah blah, " i cant block too fast, im a noob i dont want to practice " are now able to block and spam away.
Will you please revert back to the old style melee for bayonet and make horses rear up. KEEP everything else.. Bayonet melee was the bread and butter for 90 percent of the people in this game. Now its completely retarded, im sorry to say.
