My fustrating experience with the new combat system (upgraded from .704 to .711) is that I click the mouse buttons and nothing happens.
in .704 if I click a mouse button i knew I would attack or block, now in .711 i find myself getting dismounted more often and when I stand and right click, my character won't raise his shield at all until I reclick (1 or more times). Same with attacking after I release the right mouse button.
I'm not saying I want the .704 combat sytem back, but if I'm holding down a mouse button, I expect the character to perform the action I desire, not wait for me to repeat myself. I get enough of that with troop commands.
Perhaps M&B could check a flag variable to see if a block/attack was performed after the last mouse/key press, and if not perform 1 block/attack until the mouse/key is released and pressed again.
