<p>With the closed beta underway, we thought it would be a good time to discuss some elements of the multiplayer side of the game in some more detail. In this week’s blog, we will take a look at the multiplayer class system.</p></br> [/parsehtml]Read more at: http://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/118

That was exactly what I thought.
By the as I always say in the blogs I love this game's interface and I care so much about it. Even I am not huge fan of multiplayer I excited by the class system. Good job!

It seems they partly are.
For a game that thrives as a sandbox, this change is perhaps the single worst thing that has happened to Mount&Blade. Customization is more important than visually determining what class an opponent is. Without players being able to express themselves through their apparels and unique weapon combinations, I can imagine Multiplayer becoming a bleak experience for a lot of people.
Pros;
Everything the post mentions.
Cons;
Casual gameplay sacrificed.
Players cannot express themselves.
Gameplay will be limited to pre-defined classes and will stop creativity in terms of gear selection combinations.
Staying close to a friend in a crowded server will be virtually impossible because everyone will look the same.
Can't recognize a particular person who is perhaps dominating you, or you're dominating.

Isn't there a button named "Character Customization" to let players "express" themselves?Tama said:
Class system is bad, no matter how good you present it. You should have never hired a Napoleonic Wars player to design the vanilla experience. Also, the baggy striped pants look bad, please make them monochromatic.
Good to see that Ulfhednar is with Sturgians now, 2 years ago it was a Battanian troop.

You'd better improve your combat system, rather than limit equipment selection and force players to play gamemodes with a resp.
These are the Middle Ages, not the First World War.
Oh my Odin...
No uniform or weapon standarts. And yes, a lot of bright clown-knights. 
This is just a simplification of balance. Why bother if you can make everyone use the same equipment?

Yeah, the secret of success - wait for 7 years and you will sell anything. I expected more all these years.

Expected more? A 7 year development cycle to build a game from scratch isn’t that long.
But this is not a game from a scratch.
Just keep it as it was in Warband. That system was perfect.
The fact that anyone can equip anything and everything at the same time in Mordhau is one of the reasons that made me lose interest in playing the game. IN warband, on the other hand, I can always look forward to different equipments and a different meta each time there is a different faction setup.
Not only that but sometimes less is more. By giving everyone everything you take out the identity of the factions and you sacrifice replay value. I want to look forward to special matchups and get those small senses of novelty every time I see a soldier using rare equipment combinations that is somewhat rare and seldom seen which still does happen.

I agree. I had a choice: neglect armor and buy the strongest ax, or vice versa - buy the best armor and find an ax on the battlefield, if I have time to do it.

Is it not? Yes m&b is a tried and tested concept. However, Bannerlord wasn’t built on existing engines, they created a whole new engine for it.
But in fact it is Warband. With a new interface but with old problems.
