Well, the state of this game is quite complicated.
Theres lots of very experienced players that scare the new players away... While the combat is quite straightforward said experienced players will develop new techniques (such as the essex drag flinch mcdouble) that are either unreadable or unblockable.
I mean, it is fun sometimes, i did have my fair share of laughs out of some battles, but when it comes to 1-on-1 combat its just a gamble where, you either fight a player on your level or a level 200 naked rat man with a maul that will drag-flinch-crouch-emote-riposte you and erase your existence
