Title: Auto couching and broken balance
Post by: Falka on August 05, 2012, 11:50:54 am
I'm not sure if it's intended or not but since last ninja patch balance seems fucked up. Most of the time one team is heavily outnumbered, not to mention all cav in one team. Also, auto couching is pure bullshit in my opinion :rolleyes: I hope it's just a bug, not new feature. Cav seems sufficiently powerful (or even overpowered) without buff :rolleyes:

Duno why they did it, but its very retarded, you cannot stop the couch, the only thing to stop it is to hold attack, somtime it can even kill your team mates by accident. It makes lancing more skill i guess, but i dont like it
i want the good old x button back, its much more easy to couch before than now

A lot of near-miss accidental team lancings now.

I didn't even notice the couch at first because I usually hold my attack all the time :mrgreen:

Auto couching? Isn't there an option to turn it on and off? At least that was possible for singleplayer. Not sure actually.
It probably is there to force the lancers to think about smth. Maybe.

Probably a bug. chadz did say that everything except scoreboard change is a bug
Should probably have a test server for patches, and let the beta testers try it out before putting it live. They would have seen the patch wasn't ready in 5 mins

Go to options - battle - lance control, does that do it?

It surely must be a bug.
Any good lancer will be against it. It's so lame I don't feel like being a lancer anymore.
Experienced players have learned exactly when they can start the couch and exactly when it will end. But noobs haven't so this is a buff for noob lancers but just uneccesary, and thus very annoying for experienced lancers.
It totally dumbs down lancing which will decrease the difference between good and bad players. IMO, every class should be as hard to play as possible. There should be huge differences between good and bad players.
From a realistical point of view it does make sense though... so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a bug. Anyway, it ruins the game play imo.

It's a lot of fun I must admit, but massively OP.

Please change it back to Manual couch please instead of auto couch, if you use great lance on horse with no shield, there is no way you can stop the couch except pressing Ctrl+ J, and its very annoying that the fact noobish cav can kill pro cav this way
