cards need to be removed and i agree 100% with coles legecy stuff should be added back such as movement hits and drinking while sprinting
but yeah i can sit there with cards and not die or it can go the other way around where 2 guys are fight someone with cards and they dont die

drinking while sprinting

What the fuck!
No!
I hated when people wanted to spar.
Spar in legacy = run 2 hours in forest drinking 60 liters of q90 water.

ya... no to bringing back drinking while sprinting. i think that was retarded. there is no skill involved in that and people just used macros to do it for them.

More damage when moving is good though i think, adds a bit more skill to combat. i dont think i would want to have 0% defence when running though as that will bring back 1 hit kills, which i dont htink should happen. i would perfer if people took at least 2 clean hits to die when fully armoured and at max CON. i dont think 1 hit kills are good for the game. which is why people dont like bows doing 1 hit kills.

can we all agree that cards need to be removed? if not then the comabt is the same as before -spam cards

[Ozzy123]

cards should be removed and other moves should give more defence, but becouse of the hit range and being unable to drink&run ganking will become too easy that way

Why not implement "Mount and blade" style combat?
Why all this shenanigans with meters and crap? Keep it clean old fashioned combat.

1. Haven isn't a fps game.
2. Mindlessly flailing around your weapon doesn't necessarily make the combat any better.
3. How do you factor combat stats (uac, mc, strength, agility etc) without having some form of calculation involved (in this case meters, cooldowns etc)?
4. How do you (in the future) add variety into the combat without quickly turning it into anime over the top generic combat (as in, new moves, attacks and whatnot)

Drop all "skills" such as melee, ua. Keep stats because they decide how fast you can spam attack and how hard you hit.

Mount and Blade isnt a first person shooter
