Title: Remove whistling for horses
Post by: dodnet on August 28, 2012, 10:03:03 pm
Simple suggestion: If a cav loses its horse and whistles the horse next to him does.... NOTHING. Cav is OP and easy mode. Why should they get a new horse so easily? Let them run for a new horse. On a real battlefield, a horse would give a shit if someone whistles. And if I need a pike I can't whistle and the next pike flies to me...

let there be a radius limit in which horses can be whistled so the dismounted rider (in case of he survives his dismount) has to run near a new horse to make it come to him. cav is well effective on tactical battlefield but has high costs aswell.. in my opinion thats pretty balanced
we could add odds for the horse react on a whistle, that are my suggestions

PS: if i get annoyed by cav i go pikeman and protect the archers or go with the infantry =)

NEVER! There's nothing funnier than fighting someone in a 1v1, whistling for a horse only for it to come by and run over the guy you're fighting.

Remove whistling. Cav should have to equip an ocarina (1 slot) to play enona's song to call horses over.

Disregard the fact that this horse is probably very close to his owner and that ingame you can just whistle for any horse no matter who they belong to because Horses in this game are pretty much personal vehicles with no mind of their own with 4x4 wheels able to go on all terrain.

If you whistle for a horse you should have to answer a riddle to make the horse come over

There are better ways to nerf horses than removing whistling. Collision damage would be a great start. It's not like cav isn't the easiest class to play in the game for a reason.
All you have to do is ride around hitting people with an instant kill move that can't be blocked, with the highest mobility in the game and longest reach besides anything other than a pike or flamberg.
Takes zero skill.
The new valor system is slanted in their favor too, so they can ride better horses to support their no-talent, no-skill required lifestyle.

I personally hate cavalry. But i learn to get over it and adapt. The whistling is a realistically fine implementation.

Whistling is fine, gives me another chance to kill the horse and get a free hit on a downed rider. Long Spear ftw.

I dont see why you need riding to be able to whistle for horses?

Whistling was actually accidentally removed a few patches ago... ah, those were the days. But then this foolish dev fixed it back to normal. I liked it, a lot. People were leaving horses alive cause they knew a downed enemy cav from the other side of the map wouldn't be able to get the horse. At the moment when I see a stray horse I quickly check if there's allied guy coming for it, if not then kill it. Whistle fights over horses, how retarded is that?

There's a secret whistle only horse riders know and can only perform.
It's actually pretty ridiculous and anyone should be able to whistle for horses.

Also horses shouldnt stop once they are riderless. They should ride at full speed into one direction until out of map. Horses are nothing else than big chickens and are frightened easily.

11th gen cav lancer and I approve of the removing of whistling. I'm guessing enemy horses would be trained differently than your horses, and battlefields would have been loud places.

You can chamber block a couched lance. You may also notice that when couching, it's very easy to get out of the way if you're paying attention. If you're not, then of course a couched lance is going to massacre someone who isn't ready for it. It's being braced by a 200+lb person, riding a horse that at the time was 800-1200 lbs, galloping at least 15-20 mph. The whole purpose was to destroy things.

It can be frustrating when playing versus a cav heavy enemy. Like GK. The sheer number of stray horses makes it useless to just dehorse the cav. Since they just get back up again like nothing happend. I cant really waste my arrows downing riderless horses either. Horses should runaway to mapedge when rider is killed...If rider dismounts it should stay inplace,unless it is hit. And if hit, it should runaway.

Or, how about you get the slightest amount of skill and start aiming for the fucking rider? Aiming for horses is gay as shit and for noskill bitches like you.
