Cavalry Are Still Overpowered

[Draulius]

Basing this on movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon?

Simple physics would tell you that jumping in full plate (whilst lighter than often presumed, still heavy and restricting enough) and a polearm/2h weapon and slashing a full speed cavalrymen would not end well for the infantry

That's why plate-wearers in C-RPG don't do it as often. They're slow.

So thankfully, our C-RPG overlords have perfectly balanced Infantry. But not Cavalry on the other hand. Chad, please fix this. I know you're with me here and you're reading this Chad. Thanks.

In real life if a horse runs you over you die.
I for one would supprt realism in this game!

well not necessarily die, but a broken arm puts you out of action in a battle.

Plate users do it all the time  If you were cav you'd know this. Plate loljumpslashing is just as viable as anyone doing it.

can i require that we lock this thread?

[Blondin]

Hey guys, you have two solutions :
- stop feeding the troll
- no need to argue with a tard

I let you pick one, i choose second.

[Lizard_man]

some people won't be happy until cavalry is made completely useless...

[Thomek]

Cav is far away from being useless.

Take a recent example. Tommy is currently going 2h (!) for a generation. His scores are still not very bad, as he's a capable player, but nowhere near his Tommy-as-cav scores.

it's just an indicator, he might simply be better and more used to playing as cav.

No point in trolling on about the OP-ness of cav, it is too obvious, and making it a balanced class will probably never happen.

Splitting hairs here, but what Gorath is saying

What?   :

Nevermind, missed the other guy referencing my post.  What I was saying is that strafing out of the way only works on cav that are AFK (pressed couche lance and then LEFT the computer) or braindead/have no aiming skill.  Even going directly in front of the horse, which used to be the "safe zone" (though you still got ran over) gets you lanced by any half decent cav now.  The only defense is to:
Kill the horse first
attempt a jumpslash and hope it works first
block down (unless they're couching)
Use a shield
Hope there's cover such as a building corner, tree, etc and then pray that their lance model doesn't just go through the tree/corner/etc like everything else does and still kill you.

But strafing?  I have yet to see a person that has figured out how to bind sprint to a key in order to do it on command so they can strafe out of the way without a decent cav making the smallest of course/aim corrections and still lance thrusting the dude.

He's splitting your hairs. Don't you get it?
