like, holy shit this class became super inefficient
I tried lance cav for 2 weeks again because of nostalgia. It´s not that you get shot that fast, if you move with the team and keep an eye on surroundings, you manage to not get shot.
but:
everything and everybody outreaches you. Outreaches a damn LANCE, a weapon, whichs only purpose is to OUTREACH other people. Back when I played cav, people didn´t even
think about going against a charging lance cav, because they simply couldn´t outreach it (as long as the timing of the lancer was right), nowadays even 1h countercharge you and sometimes even sorta manage to get you. Why? Because they trust in the fact that you will get a shitty lance angle and simply glance, which happens way to often. They know how to move and position themselves so your angle gets shitty. What can you do about it? Ye, slow down and correct the angle instead of charging full speed. But this brings another problem: by slowing down, you attack will loose all of its impact and your damage will be reduced to a pile of poop (or, of course, simply glance). I bet your horse will even rear for no reason. Again.
also:
All poles can stop a stomping, 180km/h whaletank-horse, even god damned wooden staffs. This. should. not. be. It is a mind-bendingly, plain stupid mechanic and I have no idea why somebody gave EVERY polearm this cav-instant-stop bonus. Shouldn´t this bonus belong to pikes and stuff?
The main purpose of polearm infantry characters, who were mainly used as anticav, is also gone since it´s no problem for a 2h to stop any cav. Ever seen a 2h doing a downblock when a lance cav charges? Me neither. They brainlessly charge a heavy lance cav
and are successful with it. Not even a heavy lance and good timing can help you there.
And yee, last but not least, they of course get shot easily, but that´s mainly a question of positioning yourself and proper dodging.
Almost 5 years and this is the first thread in the chamber of tears
had to get some steam off, feels strangely good now

Fact is that nobody around me uses normal phones anymore (even them refugees lel). I´m the only one who communicates via "SMS", I miss a lot of talks on family/friend WhatsApp-groups and I still have barely an idea how to handle smartphones and/or tablets...as a bachelor for media technology.
