fair cav behavior on battle servers

[Garrus]

Since around a month i play everyday 10-16hours again like a long time ago when i finished my gear set. 

On a regular bases i count 20-30 on each team in a timespan of 7-8 hours daily.
Tops i counted around 70 cav overall. I am on the flanks with cav remember... i see you guys most of the times  but i hope you don't see me always i try to make sure of it.

we always see you, kinn

I've tried both 1h and lancer cav. If you play fair you'll be either dead or won't kill many people.

or won't kill many people.

The point of being fair is not to use all advantages you could use, which will inevitably result in less kills...

Backstabs are fair, raping someone 2 seconds after they spawn is not. I never spawnraped as lancer and I could kill tons so I can't really agree with you.

War ain't fair. This mod isn't fair. Native isn't fair. Nothing is if we just look at the problems and are not trying to counter/overcome them somehow.

Bullshit. My official motto is "GO FOR THE AFK'S!"

Gotta get that k/d up bra

Buff hoplite as anticav. After going cav myself, I didn't realize how easy it was to attack hoplites (with ~150 length weapons).


Hoplites as anticav need a backup weapon  in order to properly deal damage to the horse after stopping them. Stopping the horse does miniscule damage most of the time against the average hoplite. Reason why hoplite can't just take shield off is because the hoplite is still screwed if he dehorses and doesn't kill the rider.

Cav can just bide their time and wait if you have an unsheathable anti-cav weapon, too.

Not to mention, cav can stab you when you stop them or after you stop them so they can get away.

after observing sick amounts of spawnraping,  I felt compelled to bump this thread : )

Hoplites should be able to whistle for their spear.

Spawn raping fucks me off something stupid, if you happen to spawn 30 seconds in then you're usually in trouble. If you don't spawn with a lance in your face, you're fighting for your life. One thing i love though, seeing the fuckers go down and being the first ones to die...

I once spawned right infront of a lancer holding a longspear in my hand.

On the other hand, if you spawn late and manage to hold off several cavalry players for a while you contribute a lot to the team.
It's a round winning move for sure. Use a trident or similar (don't use a longer weapon - it might scare the enemy cavalry off)

I've managed to kill 5 horses at most on the spot with a trident - the feeling is great
