I think cavalry needs a nerf.
Cavalry being the class as a whole, not just lancers, but 1h cav, 2h cav and horse crossbowmen.
Pardon given to horse archers at the moment because it is shit as a class atm.
Noone plays horse archer on NA. Dunno about EU

A change that was made many months ago but taken out a few days after implementation due to whiners.
The rider being bumped/stunned when bumping someone on foot.
(This was the same change longspears and pikes had blocking removed)
Heres why this change was genius.
Horse charge damage is a dumb mechanic. You can get kills by holding up a shield and steering into people.

They will get bumped for alot of damage more often than not.
I suggest the devs bring this beautiful mechanic back.
If it was brought back, heres what I see happening.
At least half of all cavalry players quitting cavalry to go do something equally as gay.
This will not only nerf lancers,1hers but also horse crossbowmen.
I don't think this is the only fix nor will this remedy the HX problem on NA but it is an encompassing nerf that does contribute.
Bump lancing, bump couch-lancing, bump slashing and bump-shooting will be gone forever.
Thank god.
With a lowered number of cavalry you will see a steady decrease of throwers and an increase of archers and crossbowmen.
Just like old cRPG.
The players dedicated to playing cavalry will still have the stomach to play without retardedly-easy game mechanics to make a class already perfectly capable of high scores.
Please I want cRPG to be like old where you were lucky to see a horse on a server.
This isn't just a nostalgic wish, the reason noone played cav back then was because
1. Expensive to save up for a horse
2. Archers tore everything to shreds
3. Sniper xbows (no wpf, pinpoint accurate)
4. Lolstab on 2hers was much better and out-ranging heavy lances, even with their old lancing angle, was relatively easy for an average player.
Now I want most of the cav players to quit because
1. Battle servers are plagued with people Bump lancing, bump couch-lancing, bump slashing and bump-shooting (Game mechanic bad for balance)
2. More cav = more longspears/pikes/throwers/archers (These weapons are universally raged at on a daily basis)
3. Without cav being AS easy as it is now, people will either be turned off by the newly necessary skill to get kills, or if that isn't enough, the fact that necessary skill and all that upkeep will be problems.
Shit game
