Knight combat, if anything, is WORSE now. I cant even manage to break even as a knight now without bombs because half my hits dont register and I teleport literally half a screen away when I slash up/down inclines.

 

Really? To me it felt pretty good when I played ... then again I dont really have time to play because of exams... I only played a few times, so maybe I was just lucky. In any case not enough to have any representable opinion on the matter.

 

It might be annoying to you but sometimes it can be used as your advantage if you get used to it (e.g. Leap of Faith if you jump on an enemy there's a posibility to teleport onto a head of another enemy nearby.)

 

Why would that be a good thing? Shouldn't combat be fair and balanced? From what I could see, it can go either way, but lag is definitely way too much of a factor. I've had everything from being killed by a sword when the knight was much too far away from me, to slashing someones shield several times and not having it register then being stabbed to death. It seems to mostly be a connection problem, maybe client to server stuff... I'm no expert.
