This game has lost its appeal by the way its been altered to appeal to casuals who couldn't accept that going naked and feint spamming with a greatsword is the way that the game is best enjoyed.
The huge swing arc which was intended to make hitting your opponent easier led to even more effective spins, led to a turn cap that further limits what you can do.
The narrow window for canceling an attack, plus the slow "combat speed" when holding a block or attack, the relative ease of blocking, and the delay when changing movement direction has made it so the best way to play is to back up and block while waiting for your opponent to make a mistake.
The overpowered archer and cav classes have led to spam and abuse by new players who give up trying to melee.
Feints, footwork and spinning is now considered a troll tactic, and kiting and block spamming is skillful, whereas in warband it was the opposite.
Yet another niche multiplayer game ruined by trying to appeal to people who complain about being outplayed, and demand that the tactics used against them be removed instead of trying to replicate them or accepting that they don't like the game and moving on. Now that the reddit people have gotten what they thought they wanted the game is dying, because all of the limitations they've placed on good players have made the game worse. Appeal to the niche audience who appreciates m&b multiplayer for what it is, or appeal to no one and have a dead game.
