We are taking your comments into consideration. so keep writing your thoughts.

Right now the chance is high we will revert many changes to bring things back to how it was.

About pokes i cannot really comment, we haven't changed much.. perhaps its just linked to the new taleworlds engine version.. see how it is after the comming patch.

During my inebriated rant last night, I forgot to mention that due to Warband's poor hit boxes there have always been issues with side blocking. It's why blocking attacks from cav is so hit-and-miss (pun intended) and why you can "bend" your bayonet around a player to avoid their block. So in addition to the sideblock lag bug, which is caused by server -> client communication and ping specifically (as Dr Olafson and his CS PhD correctly pointed out last night) there is also the issue of hit boxes, which is in fact a Warband engine issue.

So in conclusion, sideblock will probably always be messed up, and attempting to correct it has introduced more bugs and frustration than what existed in the first place. But I'm just a retarded player like Olafson pointed out, so what'd I know...

Eh...

Why are you tempting them to leave it the way it is?

so whats the point of the poll then if u just gonna change it anyway

[Vincenzo]

To see the thoughts of the people?

I see a devided response, and overall then its safer to just undo whatever we did.

But feel free to argue.

Speaking as a player with high ping, I liked the older melee as well. Playing on an EU server with 120 ping or so, spinning has been one of the few tactics I could rely on. Since the new patches, spinning gets about a 50/50 chance of pokes, much higher than it was before. Especially on backstabs that should be clear-cut. I haven't noticed anything making it easier to block with my higher ping either, people are still starting and finishing their attacks faster than my already primed one anyway.

A lot of people also prefer how smooth the new melee is (see poll). Competitive players have been playing with the old melee their entire NW "career" so if it get's changed to something they aren't used to most of them aren't going to like it regardless. I also have high ping and really it's only made the game more fair. I would like to see poking removed but I could prolly live with it.
