Horse Bumping

[Xant]

On a side note, no overhead nor block on long spears now ahahahahahahaha

This is the best change ever. Fuck yes.

Also: seems like only spear-type polearms rear horses now.

[Overdriven]

Also courser is now 6 difficulty and Arabian is 7. Nice to know that won't affect anyone in GK 

Destrier is 5. Heavies are all 5 (including plated).

I love playing cav because I love bumping people, sorry.

[SuperSix]

I SO CALLED IT
The first thread was about cav...

Does this mean anything for hoplites?

2h cav will live on

This wasn't supposed to be released (unfinished test code), it will be removed in the next hotfix.

[Casimir]

good news cmp

[Matey]

but i think its fantastic ;{
it encourages cav to actually get good at cav instead of just bumping everyone

I was running around as lance and 1her cav and this really made it more balanced and fun with real skill - you lance/slash them or you bump them, but not both.  It really is more realistic too you don't get some weird free angle hit for bumping them, cav took some real skill for once instead of pure easy mode.  Was actually having fun as cav.

Oh look, an agility shielder who plays with cloth armour and an archer being in favour of this? WHO WOULD OF THOUGHT

[Matey]

meh none of our cav players were complaining... lancer 1h or 2h. they just needed to play a bit smarter and all was fine.

[Smoothrich]

its bad design, obv even the coders realize this considering its unfinished and wasn't considered ready to be released

note that i haven't tested the change yet but I am just gonna piss into the wind and say its bad

also cannot be reiterated enough:  LMAO at arabian being 7 riding and plated charger/cataphract/etc being 5 riding.  what game are you people playing (oh right, EU, heh)

I do admit I am terrified of the power of WSE in giving the developers free reign in bizarre inexplicable cav nerfs though.  Nerf cav all you want as long as you use WSE to implement spikes or a horn you put on the head of a charger to impale peasants with then use the still alive peasant as a meat shield against arrows

alternatively, allow your horse's armor to be coated in oil, then use a torch to ignite it and ride it flaming into battle.  I will uninstall cRPG and play War of the Roses exclusively unless these changes are made

[BADPLAYERold]

Well it was really bad for my playstyle, I always go for the bumpstab because my horse does a decent amount of charge damage.

O you wish. It doesn't stop us bumping any one. Just stops us killing you in the process. Bumping is still viable in order to interrupt archers or set your lancers up for their attack.

But yeah...the horse bump thing was no issue for us. 1h cav I can't speak for.

[Lorenzo_of_Iberia]

I could live with this accidental bump code tbh in fact means I am more encouraged to circle and delay than actually attack
