[OFFICIAL] Community Petition to Nerf Horse Crossbowmen

[Lichen]

Naw I'm not pissed. I was just watching a round with a HX on my team and was amazed how long the round was dragging on during a match that they couldn't possibly win by running in circles.

Well, HX build with a few points in PS and using a 1h when they are the last alive and they really have no chance at winning would be the considerate thing to do. Maybe if all HX did that they would not be so annoying to some.

but from what I've at least observed, you play passively near the beginning of a round, picking off AFK'ers and stragglers and late spawners

As long as they're helping the team by actually killing the enemy I don't see the problem. Surely it's helping out the team by picking off people attempting to join the main battle or flanking?

Honestly I think the best suggestion I've heard out of all the commentors is to let master of the field spawn earlier. I think that that would fix the delay problem with the hx class without any direct nerfs, and would also facilitate some great team play with the clans.

This has been said over and over in every nerf HC thread, repeatedly. Where have you been?

There is nothing wrong with xbow cav as a class, its just that in NA it seems you have a problem with it being overused as a class and, since its a very annoying class to play against, its very rage-inducing.

Anyone that can score well as a horse xbow has bare skillz.

The issue is not whether or not they help the team, but rather the balance of the class and how it disrupts the flow of game play

go to like 1:00 it takes accuracy to shoot them down i guess, the only xbow cav thats hard to kill is rohypnol, otherwise it is pretty easy to shoot them.

bump and signed.

HA and HX are already the hardest classes to play, doesn't need a nerf.

Bullshiiiiiiieeeet... HT...

Horse crossbowmen existed in the time period, saying it's unrealistic is funny. Yes, the reloading is done differently (hint: you use your foot), and you could definitely not maneuver like you can in the game, but horse maneuver in crpg (at speed, at any rate) is heh anyway.

The class was a bazillion times more fun to play when the crossbows were less accurate and more damaging, way back when. And one point of HA skill was 12 agi, if I remember correctly. So you had an inaccurate shotgun with 2 HA at most. But it'd kill a lancer in the chest, however, if you could hit.

Option 5: Allow Hunting xbow to be loaded while horse is in motion, Light xbow when horse is stopped.

Option 6 leave it alone and get some throwing weapons.

The best and only option: master of the field appearing always. That way HA's and HX's can play their class as long as they want, if they are the outnumbered survivor they will lose the round.

NERF RANGED NOW!

NA has less foot ranged. It makes a world of difference.

Death to HX, stick e'm on a stake and lit e'm fire.
