Couched Lancing without recovery time...

[Safavid]

They need to switch the gameplay back to classic where you have couched lancing without recovery time.  Really in the fast paced battles in cRPG it almost makes the lances useless and not realistic. 

[JasonPastman]

agreed!

[DrTaco]

It's an ok idea but i'd rather have 2handers regulated and those fucking spammers deported until this happens.

[Vibe]

Nono, it's fine the way it is. Decent lancers are all top scorers if you havent noticed.

[Patricia]

Are you mad?

Very true.

Besides, Warband doesn't account for broken/lost lances in a charge. A recovery period is a fair trade-off for this.

I don't think couched lancing is over-powered, but it is powerful enough.

[Zisa]

no.

[Poetrydog]

I say no as well. Don't fix it if it ain't broken

That's the second time in 2 days that i totally agree with you Vibe !  (Troll and shielder ;) ).

At the moment Bruce, Leed (Kapikulu by the way) and Assarhaddon are very very often in the top 5 in battle.

[IRunUDie]

no no no way couched lance is bad enough on its own without it being able to be spammed

[Huey Newton]

its fine
learn to time your couches right
and learn to thrust

you will do fine

[Toffi]

I think it's fine the way it is

[Dravic]

Its IS fine as it is. Did you know, that wpfs decrease recovery time a lot?

Just stop using 18+str/rest agi builds.

Just try this build which is for mostly couching instead of mostly thrusting:

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 10
Agility: 27
Hit points: 45
Unused skill points: 6
Converted: 4
Ironflesh: 0
Power Strike: 3
Shield: 0
Athletics: 0
Riding: 9
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 9
One Handed: 1
Two Handed: 1
Polearm: 181
Archery: 1
Crossbow: 1
Throwing: 1

And still 6 unused skill points, your choice if you will get a shield or iron flesh or even athletics. Important is one thing: with shield you will thrust with lances much slower, but with couching you will still do good.

Meant to be used with Great lance to couch and any lance to thrust.

Couching is fine. Just l2p w/ it and adjust.

Basically, as is you can use it once at high speed and thats it per round.  By the time the cooldown wears off you got like fifty arrows in you.  I liked the classic couch with unlimited (spam if necessary).  A person on a horse can couch forever (I ride real horses).  It does have it's weakness where you can only hit in one direction, which is fair for those who want to hit you.  I hate it when a lot of the realistic things are taken out for fear of 'balanced' play.  Real war was not balanced.  This is why when heavy armored Crusaders came to Jerusalem, they met fierce resistance by Turkish and Saracen horse archers that would shoot between armor kinks (yes they were that good when they can shoot through a small hoop backwards at full gallop, the same can not be said of western archers) and taken down heaver Knights. 

I think they should also introduce "styled play" similar to the Starwars game where you could pick sword fighting styles regardless of the weapon you have.  That way you always know which direction your going to strike in melee.
