Long Hafted Blade Cavalry

[Frankysan]

Hi guYS, it's about this:
back in time i remember lhb cavalry used to be lot of fun. We still had crappy dmg/swing speed bec of penality, but it was at least viable. The current (native, as Shik told me) animation makes it totally pointless. I agree that the current animation looks cooler maybe, but the reach/ speed totally kills a very fun type of cavalry.
I'm sure there are more polearms players that would like to be able to play some slash cav, since lot of us find lancing very boring.
Can something be done to make it viable?because right now:
 1h/2h cav with 1wpf  > dedicated polearms cav with lhb.
ty for reading, would like to know if there's any hope to get this on the "things to do" list!

Currently there isn't really much of a point to using the hafted blades on horseback, so why even bother having the ability to? I never see anyone using the style seriously. Revert to the old animation, somehow fix the new one, or get rid of the ability altogether imo.

because more variety =  better.
and also, lancing = so gay my balls drop on the floor.

go try it

lhb on horse with current animation just looks stupid as hell.

[Frankysan]

i guess nobody gives a shit about making this viable option for cavalry?just bump, still hoping for a xmas gift
if finding/making a new animation is too time consuming i would be happy to get a proper one and have you implement it...
cheers

Just add the ability to thrust with the new swing  animation, and I will immediatly go polarms on horseback with a mw hafted blade.

Unfortunately I don't know what the new animation for LHB looks like, so I can't tell you whether I support this or not. But indeed it would be nice to see something different than lancers, one hand cavalry and those my old friends who fight over range from horseback. So in fact you have my support. I will +1 your OP.

They added that alternate combat animations pack's dismounted polearm animation to the mounted long hafted blade. The animation isn't even meant for horseback use.

so would be nice to have it changed 

[Torben]

ya would like to see this happen

[MountedRhader]

Yeah and we'll get great long bardiche cavalry, long maul cavalry, and boulder on a stick cavalry too.

Hell while we're at it we might as well bring in the Loch-Ness monster.



Ps. You are right about the animations though. They are atrocious.
