Hello Everyone,
I wanted to talk about this new patch and how the game feels now. This is a impression a few days after the mounts patch. Most of the information is gathered in game by playing on a pvp server with a fresh wipe on release.
First of all, the mounts are really well made and all the mechanics look awesome and work. You can not cancel animations and the movement of horse and rider are almost flawless.
-There are some small issues with a missing animation when you draw a weapon and when you get tossed off the horse but it’s not a big deal for me.
-The movement of the horse is awesome and you can put a lot of force in to your attacks. I love this! but dueling against another horse rider with a lace is a little strange, i am not sure the speed detection is working in a good or fun way. It might need more work 
The new movement system is really good and the game flows better. It’s more fun to land strikes and you have to predict your enemy movement in pvp and pve. It is also now harder for another player to just run away from you, if they get to close. This is awesome and really makes the game a lot more fun.
-The attacks you do feel more flowing and the movement is way more natural to your character. I did change to a female character this season, so i am not sure if that has anything to do with it.
-You can still cancel you attack animations mid animation and that is really bad. However, i am thinking that the devs are aware of this and are going to fix it soon, since you can’t do it when on the horse.
The new follower system is on of the best mechanical additions that give you a little more bussie work as a player. You now have to level up your army before it is good and there is a limit to how many you can have.
-Because of the way it works with food and stats, many of the useless things now have an actual useful effect. Well done devs
-I am still a little worried that human followers have to high of a base damage and become to op in pvp but i am hopeful that his will be adjusted over time if it is so
There has been put a lot of effort in to this patch and it really shows when you play the game. It feels like a totally new game for me and it is exciting what the future brings in this game. In my eyes this is now a better game then Ark or Atlas.
The are still issue that need to be fixed in my opinion.
-The biggest one is the follower Ai, it needs to be better and more responsive. There should also be more commands you can give it. Like a stand down command.
-There should be a way to see how many followers you have in your clan. That might be something that could be added in the near future.
-I think the map you play on needs to be bigger and now that we have the horses, i would suggest removing the teleports or changing the teleport system to be less easy to use. It might be better with a new map in the long run but i would understand if that is a huge job to do.
-As i mentioned the animation canceling when doing attack combos is a big one that has to be fixed. This would also reduce the use of pc macros in pvp.
I think that was it, so in all you guys are going in the right direction and keep up the good work
He is the farther of Ai and i hear he is still standing
