This whole 45 degree lancing is ludicrous, and unrealistic. It is a commodity when lances are outreached by a simplesword front on, and 1 hit. How isn't this bullshit? I am aware that the lesser-skilled NA players need this as a handicap, as their skills are sub-par.
This whole lance nerf is gayer than cum in a moustache.
l2p issue
Funny you say that, in native duels, id beat you 10/10 no doubt. Ironic how an NA is saying "l2p".

He is EU you...
Oh god ahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah
*dies of laughter*
Same shit different smell, I'd destroy you all none-the-less.
What do you know of "realism"? Dig up some facts before you claim something is unrealistic. The historical area of engagement for a lance was thirty degrees; two-thirds of what it is now. Also, fuck no -- fuck. no. -- to any buff for cavalry. They're disgusting enough as it is. If you're having difficulty doing well as cavalry it is due to your inexperience, not a lack of power.
Not only in my mind does it make sense that cavalry would only be lancing from 45 degrees in front (or 30 as you say), it's good for the balance of the game. You wouldn't reach out 90 degrees from your body at a full charge and expect to do any real damage stabbing someone (unless they didn't have any decent armor on). To get any leverage you would need to keep the lance pretty much forward.
It was pretty ridiculous in native when I could ride full speed forward, and then stab behind me and do some serious damage.
One thing I wish would be implemented for lancing on cavalry however, is being able to turn your grip so you are stabbing downward from the horse. Would be nice when you are stopped, I'm pretty sure I would spin my lance around, choke up, and stab down onto people's heads (would be good for turning around and stabbing behind the horse or in front of it).

I mentioned this as 'realism' as if another cav charges your flank, you could thrust in that direction, i didn't intend this from a charge perspective lol
If you're riding forward I doubt you would be stabbing 90 degrees to your side. You have literally no momentum nor leverage. I'm not only talking about couching. If you're moving forward (momentum carrying you forward) and you thrust at 90 degrees to your side and catch anything, you're going to either lose your lance, or lose your arm trying to hold on to it.
I think the overhead stab would be good for stabbing down and would "undo" the FoV restriction, but it should only be viable when you're not moving at full speed (basically the opposite of a couched lance).
As it stands right now, I think the restricted FoV is very good for game balance. It still does feel a little hokey when I'm turning to the right and can't extend my lance out a couple degrees farther (your leverage would allow you to angle it out farther than if you were going forward), but I still think it's a good balance for the game. It definitely takes getting used to, and even now after literally 6 months or 8 months of pretty regular game play, I still sometimes get fucked over by it.

lol, everybody must love aussie warband comunity they are so awesome :lol:
Fortunatelly all this thousands of noobs on NA and EU are protected by great ping wall and cant be humiliate by 15 aus players.
a small range increase
can be blocked with a sword

Agree, please save us from aussies, noone could handle their leet skills!
They would 10/10 us in a duel no doubt bro!!!
Spam works in EU and NA, due to the almost complete absence of blocks.
You will witness amazing potential and utter eliteness from the hordes of PK. We are number one, globally.
Still, it's absurd to ask for the game to be made easier for you, and then in the same breath insult the ability of people you've never seen play.
All game balance issues aside, if you stab at a 90* angle on a charging horse you're going to break your arm if you hit anything. This is very simple physics: very long stick + very fast speed + force being applied in a perpendicular direction to the stick = very strong leverage effect perpendicular to your arm, which is already being held at an awkward angle outward. Best case scenario is a sprained wrist, worst case is a fractured elbow and dislocated shoulder.
bumpslash, mate : )
Didn't hatsune demonstrate to you how a horseman with skill can dominate even with the reduced spectrum?
oh wait, you were probably banned /

what is pk, and who is hatsune?
PK, commonly referred to as the Gods of Caladria. It's a clan of which every player is a powerhouse individually. A monumental figure of skill. Our teamwork is sublime and works to our intent 100% of the time, due to our status and reputation we mean to maintain.
Eh, hatsune improved considerably and quickly, to the point where his team was winning over four out of five rounds all night long. Partly this was due to banner auto-unbalance, but his cav skills had a big impact.
Then why has noone heard of PK or any of its members?
Edit: Wait, I just got it, youre being ironic. Ha, I feel foolish now.
