So, if you can't deal with something it is OP?
I will tell you exactly what is your problem: Lack of awareness.
Try looking around you once in a while and turn off any background music.
If you are not smart enough to understand why cavalry players top the scoreboards I will tell you why.
It's for the same reason as it has always been; unaware enemies with no skill whatsoever. Just like you guys who whine right now. You suck bigtime.
I've never had any problems with melee cavalry when I've played on the ground.
Instead it all other classes.
ps
No matter if you are the best duelist of crpg. You still suck if you can't deal with a single horsemen.
I totally agree with you riddaren..
And why many cav top scoreboards? One more thing is because we can cover alot of ground and look for those that are unaware. Every kill gets your team closer to a win and closer to that x5. I think everyone that gets a free kill-chance take it. Its just that with cav you get it more often. And every time you are unaware in this game you will and should die. Get your awareness skill up and you will notice a big difference. And why not try to help your team by covering an archer or other infantry with a long pike? You will scare off most cav just by equipping a pike or spear. And STICK TOGETHER.
I dont think cav are one bit overpowered. When i meet good players or smart players (teamhelpers) as cav, i have to get all my senses together and try my hardest and use every trick in the book of cavalry to have a chance to take them down. But its quite easy to see if the enemy you are meeting know what to do or not. So those who suck at countering cav will die an embarassing death imho.
Dont come whining now about "when there are 5 cav you have no chance..."
You shouldnt have a chance against a group of five cav/ranged/infantry if you have left your group or are playing it stupid. I have seen smart/good players holding off 4-5 cav and killing some of them and dehorsing some and maybe even surviving himself...
Cav are fine.Edit: I have just retired, and im gonna make a 2 handed cav again i think, maybe a clean 2hander. If i go 2hcav its because i have a champion destrier and I think its very fun to be able to ride. But i wouldnt make a cav 2h without my champ destrier.
I have played through most classes now and i would not lie about my experiences. I have topped scoreboards with every class i have played. I have never chosen a class because its overpowered. I choose what i find fun, and I make them overpowered ;) I dont have much time to play anymore because i got a little kid irl, so i have no time to follow the trend of "overpowered classes" But when i play, i play the game serious, and im trying my very best to be good for my team and to beat others.
Ok. done.
