tweek the cataphrac
« on: September 23, 2011, 07:02:30 am »

buffing the war horses was a needed change,  ty for that!  however the cata must be placed in context now,  i dont see it being worth 10k more stat wise

suggestions:

up the speed to 40   would be my preferred change stat wise,  but not balancing wise

or

manuver to 43           would be my preferred change balancing wise.  having a highly maneuverable heavy horse would be interesting

or

or armor to 51            meh,  would be the smallest change balance wise,  so maybe the way to go?

or

lower price to 40kish gay solution

no reason to buff cata at all when its the most popular armored horse.  other horses need to be made more competitive with it

I am sry beforehand if this offends u,  but would you mind getting your shit straight before posting?
 it was the most popular horse pre patch,  the complete horse lineup has been changed and the cata is out of place.  as already said in op it has to be adequately finetuned to have some sort of right to exist.  its practically the new war horse -.-.

Cause everybody and their mama got a champion Cata cuz it was the best horse back then.

NOW, Large Warhose is a lot better.More HP, Speed and Maneuver, for almost 10k less.

Cata should really have either 40 speed oder 42 maneuver.
Maybe it woud be better for me to find out where you life and kill you when you are satch a Soziopath. You have enough now.

So it's like when people balance weapons, one get better than another, while it wasn't the case before, and thoses people ask for an heirloom recovery or a buff of their 3timed heirloomed horse ? That's it ? (Wich never happened, btw)

Pff... i know "good" players that use cata for the look. I do tend to dislike "calculating" people needing always the best quality-price equipment, and always whining when their op weapon/horse finally got nerfed. Though that's how i always think, i did look at the horse's stats, and thus :

I completely agree with the fact that the Large Wahorse's and Cataphract horse's stats are pretty close for such a price different.
Why not "NERF" the Large warhorse, instead of buffing your champion cataphract horse, hey ?

I believe having a Large Warhorse with "only" 120 hp, and maybe 40 maneuver, would solve this problem ?
Or having the same stats Large Warhose at 39,5k ?

I ride a champion cataphract and I have to say it doesn't need a buff, if anything it needs a nerf and so do all other armoured horses.
They are ridiculously overpowered.

Got to agree. It is a bit ridiculous for that price. I don't ride one and tbh I've never looked at the stats compared to price before. But that makes very little sense at all.

I'll be sticking with my Mamluk if I want to use a heavy :D

Just stopping in to say that the armored horses plague the NA servers like gonorrhea plagues a whore's vag.  They are far too common an occurrence given their power.

Perhaps they are too easy to use? They are the most effective horses in the game, yet they all require only 5 fucking riding. Should not the most unkillable horses in the game require that their riders be dedicated cavalry players with 18+ agility?

The most agile horses require high riding. But for some inane reason the most survivable horses don't.
