Horse Speed + Acceleration

Well HA died off. So same thing will happen to this aswell.

Anything that gets op gets nerfed it will just bring about another class to have its time.

What i'd like to see:

before: hey, I'd like to hit top speed. How about I press W for a second or two.
after: look, a flat plain! I can use it to hit top speed and be super effective!

if i understand correctly, you want to make cav harder to use for the average guy,  but still very effective for the trained cavalryman,  hence decimating the over all threat of cav spam,  but without taking the fun out of it.  I am stoked,  thanks a lot.

the one thing i want to see in this game is to make things unique and special,  this is the good step in that direction.

In all fairness the devs have said they are just testing changes.

Please overdriven dont get your hopes up, i know your clan is a full cav clan but most changes dont get reverted, just take it on board and change your builds to suit, more riding or just drop cav alltogether.

VVar's right, at the end of this, there'll definitly be some kind of nerf to cavalry...

[Blueberry Muffin]

one of the ideas floating around is to make them harder to use (harder to accel and steer), same top speed, more hp to compensate a bit, buff couching, some other things.

The idea is that horses are ridiculously easy to use right now. People should have more awareness to use horses. Before, they were GoKarts.

But thats just my opinion, I'm just watching as a bystander.

A bystander with a shotgun, shooting down GK hopes and dreams....

Oh and I hope that rearing removal is trolling. A core idea of pretty much any medieval game is spearmen(polearm) beats cav.
Buff horse hp in return for manouver so it isnt a nerf, good. Dont do anything to the other classes. As a seasoned player myself, I can state that everything in this game is balanced imo at the present state.(before horses are being tested on ofc)

[Lizard_man]

yeah, i agree, was fine...

As wise man once said:

I won't stop until I see your clan on foot, walking

It's just a matter of time

Seems fine on my cavalry alt using a champion destrier and 7 riding.  I think people way over-relied on excess speed instead of skillful lancing and maneuvering and it will just take them a little while to adjust, just get a little more riding skill and convert more points for an extra point in powerstrike and you are good to go.  More balanced, less easy mode. 

Don't worry about strategus anyway, based on new gold system no one will be buying horses for weeks to come.

Destriers were already slow...that's probably why. You're not noticing it so much.

Too bad a lot of maps have weird buggy grounds so your horse gets slowed down. And too bad that flat plains arent common on EU1. People say that cav is overpowered because oh my gawsh look at the scores they get. We get those kills because of people being unaware and yes we can also win a one on one or two on one but isnt every class supposed to be able to do that? To be honest these are only the skilled cav. Just like the skilled archers, two handers and one handers are on top. No-one whines about Chase being overpowered as a two hander because thats skill. Same should count for cav but no then its the class being overpowered and the rider is just playing easy mode. Seriously try and play cav. See if you can live up to the likes of Leed, Torben, Ujin and Oberyn. Oh and a couch buff is definately not needed.

Has this been applied to servers other than EU? Unsure if its been done on your side yet.

Yup...it's a pretty useless idea when most maps have almost no flat ground and tons of buildings/fences. Unless there's a huge flood of flat plains maps into EU1 the idea doesn't make sense.
