Horseman Capturing Flag in Siege

[_Tak_]

Currently horseman has no ability to capture the flag nor defend the flag unless they dismount, this makes horseman become completely uselss on siege, in medival times horseman used to ride out to sally forth.

I always play as a horseman in siege . But i have one problem. When the enemies are capturing the flag. If i charge to the flag in the hope to stop the attacker from wining. It just won't work and the attacker win. i have tested this so many time. it only work with infantry but not horseman. please add the feature to horseman so that i can stop the flag from going down as a defender so that i can save my team from losing.

For example: Let say when all my team mates are on the defender team is dead. I am the last one alive. I am a horseman with a plate charger that wears very light armour. 8 attackers are now capturing the flag. The flag is going down. I am the last defender that is currently alive. I rush to the flag. Use my charger to crush those enemy. But it didn't stop the flag. Why only footman are able to capture / stop the flag?

(I can get 1 hit kill from pike / spear and 2 handed sword, it only takes about 1 second to take my down if i am not too serious

horseman cannot capture / stop the flag going up or down. They have to dismount in order to do this.

Would be nice if you could stop the cap from horseback, but I have a feeling it would allow you to capture flags on horse as well (all or nothing).  It's also possible that there's no way for them to code that the horse can capture the flags...

No, all i want is that horseman (Defenders) are able to stop the flag, not capturing the flag) and they must stand near the flag to stop the flag

No shit...I said it might not be possible for them to only "stop" the capture.  I'm assuming the way the game is coded would mean that they would also be able to capture the flag.

I realize you probably don't speak English as your native language, but nothing I said contradicted your original post.

Yes indeed I live in britain and English wasn't my first language .  I don't see the reason why not if they are going to implement this feature, even if the horseman are able to capture the flag, they must stand close to the flag, if they were attackers it should be easy enough for defender to wipe them out as they cannot move outside the flag. Just a suggestion nothing special, yea there was some wording mistake in my original post so i fixed it thank you sir

not that anyone gives a fuck:  but i concur.  adds a new aspect to the game.

yay for deversity,  down with the communist levelers!!

Pretty sure this is already in.

Plated charger and two steel shields. Sit on flag and trolololol the overwhelming force of attackers that would strugle to cause significant damage to you.

i saw you on siege, you should notice about this as it is needed.

if someone hit you from back and jump attacks and kill you in 1 hit even if you are on a plate charger.

indeed, i always get 1 hit kill even if i wear plate armor

Steel shield on your back adds a fuck load of body armor to yourself.  Plus whats to say that guy wont wear plate.  Your anecdotal evidence is completly irrelevant.

Cavalry is not meant to do well in siege, the enviroment is far better suited for infantry and ranged.

I myself play as horseman in siege everyday and I find that as long as you are smart enough not to bump your team mate then it's perfectly fine, if i am playing for real i get kill score of 34/25 death. Perhaps you should play siege as a horseman with a plate charger + steel shield to experiened it yourself,

I played siege consistently for two months as a variety of classes on my main and alts, trust me when i say inf and ranged are far more effective.

Besides, playing plated charger steel shield is the most boring thing around.

Personally i prefer playing as a cav on siege  , anyway back to the topic
