i tried to like this but have a hard time getting into it...it looks like fun but i fail so hard in doing aany usefull moves...
Did you do the advanced training? One of the most important things in this game is that you have to look directly at the tip of the incoming weapon to block it. Just pressing the block key won't guarantee a block.
Other thing is to consider is that weapon swings are pretty accurately modelled, so you have to plan for your swing as many things may happen between your mouse click and the actual time of the swing hits. The enemy can move out of the range, other enemies may move in the range(awesome when that happens).
Also avoid bigger servers(stick with 24 or less), FFA, LTS and play exclusively TO. So that you can spawn pretty fast, while getting decent combat while having the teammates watching your back(or hitting, unfortunately). Some may think FFA offer the best training as it's faster paced, but you'll get ganged on pretty quick and it's not fun.
Classes also matter and hitpoints can be ordered as Knights>Vanguards>MAA>Archers. The class difficulties are on the reverse order so don't expect to pick MAA and do good, you'll get squished in big fights. Knight is the obvious choice for beginners.
For the combat, I suggest you to avoid any fight other than 1:1 ratio. Even an extra man matters hugely in melee combat. Don't hesitate to run back to your teammates when you're overwhelmed(there's a catch-up mechanic in this game, so don't depend on that). Don't swing madly, on the contrary play a reactionary gameplay to master the combat. This enables you to practice your blocking; so block, swing, block, swing and wait until your enemy makes a mistake.
When you feel good about yourself with blocking, start experimenting with feinting and weapon positioning. Block>Swing>Block>Feint(enemy expects a swing and blocks prematurely)>Swing(you'll probably get this hit)>Block>Swing>Delay weapon(by turning the screen opposite of the swing direction) and so on. Eventually you get the hang of varying your attacks/defenses and may defeat players without even needing to block.
Anyways, I hope you give it a one more try. It's a very fun game when you get hang of the combat and get rid of the feeling that everything is random and boring.
