Horse Speed + Acceleration

[Overdriven]

Wtf happened? Acceleration is now A LOT less. My courser trots around at a tiny speed and is now a perfect target for archers and crossbows. It takes a long time to reach even decent speed.

[Lizard_man]

yeah, give me a fucking respec...

i want a respec on my looms aswell, good luck playing cavalry in strat...

[Overdriven]

Yup need a respec. I'm not playing cavalry with a horse like this. And tbh...I doubt anyone will pay for a champ courser on market.

A courser is now useless. It's acceleration was already down, and with all the village/hilly maps it has no hope of getting to full speed.

Edit:

The only way this makes sense is if you add 10x more open plains type maps to rotation so cav actually has a chance to reach close to full speed.

Right now there is no reason to use courser ect. May as well just use a rouncey.

Quick, sell your loomed horses to me for an apple&egg before WSE changes are balanced.

[Lizard_man]

well why change it in the first place ??

Shouldn't you guys test this before loading them onto servers?

These are things which would be obvious to balance by just loading up your own server. No need to use us for it.

But regardless, courser speed is now near enough the same as a rouncey used to be.

[Brrrak]

Gotta make sure the archers can still shoot down horsies, so they decreased the acceleration, I bet. 

The wonderful world of balance.

You are the test.

[Brrrak]

You are the test.

Will public outcry over elderly, crippled horses change the decision to nerf acceleration (if it's there, which it seems to be)?

[Lizard_man]

well i just hope this gets fixed, and soon...

[chadz]

It's not a nerf, it's a shift.

Which means that some stats gets lowered, some get increased.

^ - I rely on the speed bonus to chop the horsies down. 

[Overdriven]

You are the test.

Yes I know. But surely you guys must do some kind of testing else you'd load up every little change onto the servers? This is something which would be blatantly obvious by just testing it yourself.

Fact is horses now look like they are going the same speed as those I see ridden by middle aged, middle class women around my village. And they still go down to arrows bloody easily.

Edit:

Heard some stuff from Chagan so I guess I shall just put away my horse until you guys manage to balance this properly.

meh could we know which stats got increased?becouse it seems that it's an all around nerf
