I think cavalry needs a nerf.
Cavalry being the class as a whole, not just lancers, but 1h cav, 2h cav and horse crossbowmen.
Pardon given to horse archers at the moment because it is shit as a class atm.
Noone plays horse archer on NA. Dunno about EU

Heres what I propose.

A change that was made many months ago but taken out a few days after implementation due to whiners.

The rider being bumped/stunned when bumping someone on foot.

(This was the same change longspears and pikes had blocking removed)

Heres why this change was genius.

Horse charge damage is a dumb mechanic. You can get kills by holding up a shield and steering into people.

If your enemy does not have a weapon capable of rearing horses (141 length polearm?)

They will get bumped for alot of damage more often than not.

I suggest the devs bring this beautiful mechanic back.

If it was brought back, heres what I see happening.

At least half of all cavalry players quitting cavalry to go do something equally as gay.

This will not only nerf lancers,1hers but also horse crossbowmen.

I don't think this is the only fix nor will this remedy the HX problem on NA but it is an encompassing nerf that does contribute.

Bump lancing, bump couch-lancing, bump slashing and bump-shooting will be gone forever.

Thank god.

With a lowered number of cavalry you will see a steady decrease of throwers and an increase of archers and crossbowmen.

Just like old cRPG.

The players dedicated to playing cavalry will still have the stomach to play without retardedly-easy game mechanics to make a class already perfectly capable of high scores.

Please I want cRPG to be like old where you were lucky to see a horse on a server.

This isn't just a nostalgic wish, the reason noone played cav back then was because
1. Expensive to save up for a horse
2. Archers tore everything to shreds
3. Sniper xbows (no wpf, pinpoint accurate)
4. Lolstab on 2hers was much better and out-ranging heavy lances, even with their old lancing angle, was relatively easy for an average player.

Now I want most of the cav players to quit because

1. Battle servers are plagued with people Bump lancing, bump couch-lancing, bump slashing and bump-shooting (Game mechanic bad for balance)
2. More cav = more longspears/pikes/throwers/archers (These weapons are universally raged at on a daily basis)
3. Without cav being AS easy as it is now, people will either be turned off by the newly necessary skill to get kills, or if that isn't enough, the fact that necessary skill and all that upkeep will be problems.


Shit game

Play cav and then rethink your request...

[oprah_winfrey]

I rooledcav this gen because I thought it would be easy with a champ courser and mw heavy lance and man, it is much harder then I though. Sometimes I stab people and they don't die so I have to circle back and do it again. Other times I press the X key but nothing happens so I miss a couch on a peasant.

Finally: Isn´t the game called MOUNT and Blade?

Exactly Huey's point, its not called mount and mount

i can say that this thread should be removed, the arguments made are... well.. not .. really ... arguments, only thing i can agree on is bump damage reduction , for the rest cav is very ballanced. and extremely eazy to counter. l2p america

This.


Every1 thinks that cav is easymod because they see GK`s going for afk kills and shit.

But its not.

Horses die very easily because of the speed bonus,also same goes for the rider.

But what u proposed huey is just retarded.

Remove cav so you can get an increase in ranged and lolstab abuzers??!?!

I bet that if I bumped you with horse... speeding horse... you would be in terrible condition or dead. Horses are hard and heavy lol

[The_Bloody_Nine]

I don't get this. Is he serious?

[rufio]

I bet that if I bumped you with horse... speeding horse... you would be in terrible condition or dead. Horses are hard and heavy lol

i bet if i kicked you between your legs you would drop to the ground and not be able to fight, why is this not in crpg ?

[oprah_winfrey]

Right but if I stab your horse going 50 mph and you fly off, you would just get up right?

Balls of steel man and there is nothing you can do ;-)

playing EU_1 before, we had a nice shield wall going with 14-17 people and some cav bundle of sticks comes along from behind resists all damage done to him and bumps DOWN every.fucking.guy. gets a kill and just rides off like nothing happened.

This is what i call bull a shit.

oh and one other thing i got bumped kill from an Arabian cav my old friend while is was walking up hill. fantastic.

this mod is disappointing me atm.

[rustyspoon]

Cav is terribly easy to counter with teamwork, but who would want to stoop THAT low?

Running off in random directions and swinging wildly until you die is how this game was meant to be played.

[BlueKnight]

Is it so hard to stay aware? If I had 20 athletics I would be stabbing you from behind with dagger. Would you ask for dagger nerf? Also if I had 5 more dagger_20_athl_friends you would be fucked man.

It is hard to believe some people call me whiner... Look at yourself whining at speedy 1-direction attackers. Is it so hard to press block down or jump aside or just hit the horse?

People whine about Pikes being great 1 vs. 1 weapons too. With almost no spin, low damage, low speed, one attacking direction and massive thrust-stun it's still apparently not a huge disvantage and pikes are still too good for dueling. You know what, it doesn't surprise me that it's whining about cav when there's whining about the pike's dueling capability. It's just how this community is to be honest.

i call bullshit, you ride into a 8+ people group that are close to each other and horse stops by the sheer amount of inf it went into
