I am Desire, one who thinks it is silly that you survive couch. Couches eat people, the soft ones that you sink into are the worst. Also make sure you clean under the couch too otherwise you get hordes of dust bunnies.

Well, not by the great lance, but by the heavy lance. Seeing as I don't know a single player that is pure great lance on his main.

before the patch sometimes people can survive 1 couch from Great lance (like 20% or 10 to survive depends on the speed), it's all good now.

also, they should remove couch tag on normal lances except great lance/ jousting lance

Couch lancing with great lance clearly does less damage now than before.

if they wanted over kill they should have just made it like 1,000 pierce.

To be fair, the heavy lance has the same thrust damage as the simple sword (unloomed, from the website).
However, should the speed bonus not make up for it?

Yes, it does... sort of. At least for me. But it does throw a few things out of balance.


HAHAHAOMGWHAT?

Yeah. I don't mind the heavy lance nerf all too much, it's just that things like horse archers, archers, xbowmen, and horse xbowmen were not slightly nerfed as well.

The decrease of heavy lance damage is an inderect nerf of the arbian warhorse and a buff to other horses.
I no longer 1 hit kill light armoured targets, which I did before. A prepatch 2 thrust kill now takes 3+.
This means horses, no matter what horse, will now receive damage that they didn't recieve prepatch.

I even thrusted a guy, then couched lanced him and finally finished him off with yet another thrust.

Arabian warhorse = useless now compared to before

how is that a buff to other horses.  at least you got the maneuverability to get those headshots.  also,  you can easily go normal lance thanks to man.

It is a buff to horses with more hitpoints and armour, as your horse will now receive more damage due to the extra attacks you need to carry out, in order to kill the target.
Previously I could go ALL IN on an attack. I knew it would 1 hit kill so it didnt matter if it stopped my horse. That is not the case now.

EDIT: Yes, I could go normal lance. But I won't trade my +3 heavy lance for a +0 lance.
Besides, Im not sure they will stay away from nerfing the damage of lance and light lance as well.

Well, to be honest I think it's ok as it is now. I still top the scoreboard so lancing is far from useless.
It just gets some time to get used to. Good nerf? Yeah, probably.

But people will still complain abour lancers being OP, that is for sure.

Hell yes, but people will still complain that an archer can hit them from afar, and not get a protective piece of wood, and people will still want to have duels in the middle of a bloody battle, and expect that without taking any care no cav will poke them, and that they are the very best and can slaughter everyone because they all are heroes, like in SP...
I do not think any updates will change that mentality.

And btw, I will retry heavy lance cav in a few days, when I have time to bring my cav alt back to a decent level

It is quite interesting that the error of turning your back to someone far away that cannot stay more than one fifth of a second in the vicinity of any hostile force and that can only attack in a pattern predictable two seconds (if not more) in advance is considered not that important and less penalized than turning your back to virtually any 2h or polearm for one tenth of a second in the heat of a melee fight.

If the couching ability had been removed instead of the decrease in damage, it would have been much less of a nerf.
The point of couching previously was to make a certain 1 hit kill, expecially on a horse. Couching now is quite useless. Just like thrusting is.

But I don't mind. I will keep playing lancer no matter how much it gets nerfed.

Horses were nerfed
Lance angle loss
now loss of couch

I think there are other nerfs but lancers have been nerfed again and again :P I have rarely been couched off the spawn because I actually spawn and check behind me when I hear hooves :P Hoplite / xbow / ninja build, all of them i don't get couched because I am attentive. But you know ha / horse xbow and horses throwers were at risk from high damage lance attacks. I am a horse thrower and from now on will thoroughly enjoy running around, safe in the knowledge that i can survive a couple of heavy lances ;) expect lots more mobile ranged classes from now on!

I've changed my mind.

Lancing (atleast with heavy lance) is ridiculous now. I feel harmless and pathetic.
Sure I can still do well but it's getting annoying when the damage output is silly low.

Horse archers get away all the time from thrusts and couch lances that would prepatch one hit kill them.
Same with all light armoured ranged... But especially horse archers have it a lot easier now.

Playing as a lancer now is almost like playing a different game compared to how it was prepatch.
Regular lance is the only way to go now I guess (unless they nerf that one too).

Going horse archer feels quite tempting. Horse archers top the scoreboard on EU_1 all the time now.
I'll hit level 35 in 1,5 million xp. Then I'll just buy training lessons and go for this:

I've changed my mind.

Lancing (atleast with heavy lance) is ridiculous now. I feel harmless and pathetic.
Sure I can still do well but it's getting annoying when the damage output is silly low.

Horse archers get away all the time from thrusts and couch lances that would prepatch one hit kill them.
Same with all light armoured ranged... But especially horse archers have it a lot easier now.

Playing as a lancer now is almost like playing a different game compared to how it was prepatch.
Regular lance is the only way to go now I guess (unless they nerf that one too).

Going horse archer feels quite tempting. Horse archers top the scoreboard on EU_1 all the time now.
I'll hit level 35 in 1,5 million xp. Then I'll just buy training lessons and go for this:

Yeah that is true.

Been thinking about going melee infantry as well.
2H with 4 shield skill - Especially good if using a longsword as it can be used with shield when needed.

Or pure 2H with higher athletics.

I do not recommend it, the 30% (iirc) penalty is extremely noticeable.

Ok thanks.
Well, maybe 4 riding is more worth it then. Maybe even take away 3 IF and make it 7 riding.
2H cav :)

Or I'll just stick with my build which is in no way bad. These HA's just piss me off right now :wink:
My build is quite suitable to play with on foot so I'll do that for a while...

I'm happy about this because people should've been using "Lance" in the first place! It has superior stats and did pre-patch as well. You're on a horse, you can't S-key, so the extra reach shouldn't matter. It's all about that damage!

The reach is a bit important, as it is the difference with most lances between a Danish right-swinging you off your horse, and a one-hander right-swinging you off. You do want to out-reach as many people as possible, like the old 90 degree broadsides.

If people are talking about respecing cause of this well theres too many cav players anyways. Also becareful you lancer cav guys, if lancer cav is too hard for you you might be surprised how much harder every other build in the game is. If your that bothered just use a shorter lance, so waht some more people with very logn weapons can hit you, 1h cav deals with it on a much more severe level with no problem.

Also as someone who is shot at by archer cav maybe every other round, they do no damage really, i sometimes dont even try to avoid the arrows. But tis fair given how hard they are to kill.

1.
I don't play as a lancer because it's "OP" or the easiest class for me. I simply play it because I like the speed and the mobility.
I top the scoreboard as 2H as well so don't tell me lancing is easy. Everything is easy (and everything is hard).
Actually I top the scoreboard no matter what class I play.

2.
An arrow takes 1/2 - 1/4 of a +3 arabian warhorse's health, given it's not hit in the head. So it clearly hurts.
Horse archers and horse crossbowmen are the best classes in the game against melee cavalry unless you didn't know.
Every round I have to be aware of these HA's and HX's and stay away from them or I will lose my horse. Especially dangerous are the HX as they usually have higher riding (10 is normal).

I am happy because everyone was saying how Danish was overused when it dealt 25-30% damage of all 2H swords.

At the same time Heavy Lance dealt 60% damage out of all polearms and very few people pointed that out as a problem.

Now you'll have to find a way to get rid of your Heavy Lances or influence devs to buff them a bit because nerf was truly extreme.

That weapon deserved it, no doubt about that but I don't think that people who used it deserve that harsh punishment.

The imbalance team is bathing in your tears.

The couch damage modifier has been reduced and the couch-only lances have been buffed to negate that, they should basically do the same damage as before.

I've managed to do well with the heavy lance after the -5 damage nerf.
But I think that this damage difference between lances is too much.

Either nerf regular lance and light lance by 2 damage or buff heavy lance damage by 2.

Hitting the head with a couched lance is a bit harder than thrusting to the head.
A thrusted lance to the head deals more damage than a couched lance to the body.

They wouldn't be less "useless" than the heavy lance is right now.
But yeah, I think this nerf is uncalled for, just like the lance angle nerf.
But this nerf is way bigger than the lance angle nerf (if you use the heavy lance).

I like the changes done to couch lancing though.

From my experience it seems like great lance does less damage now than prepatch.

This nerf is ridiculous, i can either pay for a hell ton of more gear, or just go on foot and get more kills/do much better and save lots of money.
Its stupid.
Please do one of the following:
Increase length of lances
Greatly reduce the time you are on the ground after your horse is killed
Double current couching damage
Half the speed bonus increase horses take from other sources (don't touch teh speed bonus they deal) IF that can't be done, double horse health and double damage ranged does to horsies.

Couching damage of a heavy lance should stay about the same as it is now, but the poke poke damage should be higher. Not worth the gold atm. Not sure if +10 reach is worth +2 damage of regular unloomed normal lance compared to +3 heavy lance. HL is a ton slower and makes 2 points less damage even fully loomed. Especially when considering the fact that the heavy lance is so expensive.

How is it an implicit requirement? Idk if there are no 1 hand cav on europe, but there is alot on NA including me. We can get attacked by people with daggers before we can hit them, and we have no problem doing very well. Dont be stupid by attacking from the front. Complaining about 170 reach or w/e the lance is when people use weapons with 82 reach perfectly fine.

You are talking to another 1h cav whore right there Lemmy :D (at least the last time when I saw Kafein on EU1 he was 1h cav?). The difference is that lance cav has insane attack angle limitation. It sets some further requirements for the weapons that you use (and the way you attack. You cant afford to be reared as a lancer). The length is really damn important. Warspear used to be a decent weapon on horseback in the times when there was not yet lance angle nerf. Partly the reason why I mentioned warspear in the first place. It's useless on horse now.

what odin says is le true!  we have outstanding 1h cav here as well,  and they know the reach of the arab side sword swing perfect.  timed well with a horse movement,  it is very deadly.  the heavy lance can for example in no circumstance win a cav duel against a normal lance user of same high skill level, becase of low weapon speed and damage.  the very moment one is stuned can be uses to be succesfully attacked etc etc.

I was responding to what kafein said, which he appeared to be referring to attacking infantry not other cavalry. So again attacking from behind is a simple solution to the problem. I dont know much about lancer vs lancer combat, back when i played lancer i did not get into fights with other lancers becuase it was overly risky, charge someone head on thers a 50% chance your guna die or be dehorsed, why do that when you can just run away and kill infantry. Ya you got kinda screwed if you invested looms into a weapon that you apprently no longer want to use. But in that case id be complaining more about not being given an optional loom refund on the heavy lance than asking it to be buffed again, get your looms and get your lance or whatever it is you want.
