Current state of the game
You only have 4 points of attack(and a kick), up-down-left-right(one is stab, other overhead)
Every single day, people log on and go fight in pvp to claim a castle(territory) late game you can solo cap any castle in the game, npcs have no adaptive AI behavior so you can kite them all and they don't reset HP if they break aggro. you destroy a couple of wooden gates(or doors) to access the castle, then you break 1 door to a generic fort that you see all over the map, walk 2 flights of stairs and access a flag to cap.
sometimes some low lvl npcs will guard the doors but its usually nothing to a lvl 100 geared player.
Siege consists of ram to get the doors down faster and catapult to aoe groups holding a door or to destroy ballista. you only see 1-2 ballistas occaisionally, it takes resources to uppgrade castles and that gives a few ballistas, also a few low lvl guards. you can break an outside wall but the HP is too great and it just means you need to repair the wall after cap which is such a hassle that nobody does it.
The hitboxes have been bugged for a long time, sometimes your weapon phases through the body, sometimes arrows do the same or the arrows hit invisible walls and you wonder why you shot 30 arrows but hit nothing. hitboxes like trees, tents, etc all have invisable corners that arrows get stuck on. you can't lob arrows over shoulders or walls and arrows(power attack) deal around 1/8th the damage of a standard swing of a 2h axe.(non heavy attack) armor is useless other than either increase damage slightly or survive a couple more hits.
Its nothing like bannerlord, kingdom come, chivalry. It has its only unique trash combat system that wasnt ever flushed out. the graphics are as good as bannerlord 2.
I didn't play for 557hours, the game has afk activities so you can go fishing for 24hours, come back and you will still be fishing. more than half of my "played"hours was really just leaving the pc on every day to afk farm.
Apparently the game USED to be full loot pvp, but now thats reduced to a pt system where you can collect 1 t5 equip and only in the middle of the map. everyone fights AROUND the middle map because those zones are pvp-non loot. I guess casuals just wanna log on and fight in some trash combat system doing the same repetitive kill 2 doors, cap a flag. pve is trash, no special mechanics to learn, no big guild raids, just a zerg of over 5 players attacking a mildly larger npc that has the same hit mechanic/aggro, and enlarged HP.
