I would not say Vanguards are fast they do have a sprinting attack but the swing speeds on most of their weapons is the slowest in the game giving plenty of time to block, the big weakness of the Vanguards IMO is no protection from range weapons & they can be killed easily if hit with two throwing axes in a row, on the whole I'd say all the classes are pretty even with no one class dominating, some of the weapons could do with a few tweaks & the stamina system could be increased slightly to stop swing spammers, overall I think its a pretty fair balance combat wise the maps on the other hand tend to favor the defenders a bit to much though this was generally true historically.Also is it me or vanguard is OP: fast, longest reach, great damage etc

Game is broken for me, i cant connect to any servers, ive joined about 2 out of 20. I thought id play against bots but they just run into walls or run backward in circles....
Bots don't work on anything but the Arena map in last team standing mode the AI does not seem like its programed to understand the objectives.
I've now unlocked everything except the archer class stuff. I'm enjoying the javelin so far, but mainly as a melee weapon with a couple throws as I enter the fray. Using the bow is boring as hell for me, so I usually just run around stabbing people in the face. I'll have to unlock them anyway though, as hard as that seems so far.
Getting 3 hits with the shortbow is quite difficult when some vanguard is zigzagging at you, although the crossbow only needs one hit and is much easier, and the weapon change is slow enough that you have tohave ninja-fast reactions to get a block up in time.

So this has an unlocks system like CoD? That's all well and good with a shooter, as a guns a gun, you point, fire, they die. With a game like this though, if somebodies unlocked a Zweihander or a Halberd, how is a new player with a shortsword supposed to do anything? 
Only thing putting me off, cause the game looks sick.
Sold.

It's not really like a COD system & the weapons are not necessarily improvements, the three main stats on the weapons are Reach, Damage & speed but you'll find that if one has superior reach to the other two choices it will generally be the slowest of the three.So this has an unlocks system like CoD?

Seeing as GMG isn't working, is there a single player campaign?
As for reach, I can't ever see somebody with a dagger, shortsword etc. ever standing a chance against somebody with a greatsword, halberd etc.
No campaign I'm afraid, best you can do is set up a last team standing mode on the Arena map you can't even play against bot on the objective mode as the bots are not capable enough to figure out the objectives.
You have to get close enough to stifle the swing of someone using a long weapon or block then attack, timing is crucial but the quicker swing speed of the short weapons means you get more attacks in, swings & roundabouts, the only weapon I feel I'm disadvantaged with is the bow/crossbow but that's because my aim is poor.

Doesn't need a campaign, it's just the last time I had fun with a game like this was Dark Messiah. So it'd of been nice.
Surely somebody with a huge weapon could just poke anyone at a distance and keep them away? If it's realistic that'd be the case.
Hit me up on Steam if you fancy a few games anyway, I'm not on too much these days due to work but I'll be on on the weekends, and weekdays except from 2pm-11pm.
Anyone interested in this, try the coupon GMG35-5BRU6-ZDRX7 instead of the one above, as it drops the price to £10.08p!
Will add you to my friends list is Omaeka you're steam name too?
Like you I'm not round as often as I'd like but I'll hit you up if I see you online.

I'd avoid, most the games dont connect and u cant even play against bots.
Sorry but that maybe you're experience with the game but it's not been like that for me, I would recommend this game to anyone looking for a different online experience & at the price its great value, I know I've had my moneys worth at least.

Never tried the bots, but I've also never had a problem connecting/playing beyond a few lag spikes. Was playing last night with no problem except a couple of laggy spots that quickly cleared up (usually after my head had departed from my neck).

As above, you sacrifice speed when you have slow weapons, so you dance out of the way of a big slow swing (or duck under it if you think they'll aim high), and lunge forwards to stab them in the eye. A hit stops you winding up your swing (although not executing it) so if you're fast you can stop someone ever getting a hit on you. Make one wrong move and you're toast though. It's pretty well balanced imo. I've played all the classes and haven't ever felt one was OP. Knight is a bit more forgiving, but they're slow, Vanguard is a good all-rounder and is my fav, man at arms has huge potential if you're skilled but has a very steep learning curve, and archer can be a real PITA if you're good, and the sidearms are usually enough to save you if not (but avoid melee if you can).
+1 I've racked up many hours on here and still haven't tired of screaming taunts and lopping heads off like a boss.
Yeah now that I have a bit more Xp I realize Vanguard are not so OP although they seem the easiest class to get into and get lots of kills (and team damage/kills argghhh) And their nasty Halberd(?) must be bugged because even the wooden pole bit seems to hurt you.
Honestly I`m more worried about Vs on my own team then enemy ones sometimes...
I tend play as an unchivalrous MAA and stab people in the back and if it doesn`t work out run away like a boss.
Here is some weapons dmg nfo athough I just tend to choose whicever looks best
