Dear CRPG,
I started playing as a heavy cav character for the first time in a while. It seems changes were made such that melee players are capable of jumping through my horse (and lance it looks like) to stab me. As an example, I just got killed by a player who actually jumped from the right to left side of the horse as I charged, passing through poor Seabiscuit and my lance waist down with no contact . Then he cut my head off with a katana in mid air. This kind of occurrence seems normal enough with all the good players out there, that I am wary of attacking melee characters who see me coming. While it seems possible to make contact with jumping characters using a lance, often it appears the lance or horse passes through their body midair with no contact. I can't recall experiencing this a few months ago and it feels silly.
Perhaps this is as intended. If anyone, especially super OP heavy cav players, will enlighten me to any changes in mechanics with cav over the last few months, and how to handle the situation of jumping melee characters, this noob would appreciate that.
Your Truly,
Thomas Jackson
