This is what you get when you give alpha key to casual players, Holdfast did this mistake. Instead of listening players who can help them with the melee, they listened the noobs who just wanted a new game for chill linebattle, and I bet most of them left the game already (Hi Aldemar).
I scrolled the Bannerlord private board on TW today and I saw a lot of great feedbacks concerning the melee from well known Native players where I saw no replies from the devs or the cm, and on the other hand I saw some players that got the beta access by being at the TW stand during the Gamescom said that the game was amazing blablablabla and i'm sure the devs will listen those kind of players, and I can assure you that atm if you think that Bannerlord has a good and balanced melee system,you are delusional. Guess we are stuck on warband forever boys.
