Does Cav seem OP to you? Discuss.

I've been seeing more and more complaints about cavalry buffness and "Cav OP" / "Cav Nerf" threads.
There are becoming increasingly larger amounts ofavalry in our servers. Sometmes around 10-15 per team on a full server.

Stop spamming with your 2h and everything will be fine.

That horse HP....

It's stupid to throw a throwing lance in the flanks of a sarranid horse and have it ride off. Seriously.

Cav aren't OP, people just don't pay attention and try to killwhore. Oh, and spend all their time complaining about and trying to nerf the same pikes/LS/Hoplites that are protecting them.

Admittedly though, having more city maps would be really nice. Having to spend the whole time in battle looking behind oneself is rather annoying.

Better to balance cav on open maps then have more maps where some players cannot play their class, at all.

Teamwork is OP. What happens when one OP thing meets another OP thing?

^ basically nonsense. But teamwork is rare when working with pubs since there isn't a formation or looking out for others thing going on. People want their kills and want the glory more than they do working with others.

Horses could be more OP in NA thats because the server is outdated with few patches, compare EU to NA so far I can control my horse more easily in NA than in EU. Also in NA because everyone has insane amount of PS / STR/ PD it totally make the game unplayable for Cav

heard the dev said they will buff wpf, thats bad because it will going to buff melee/ xbow/archery damage which mean horses will become easier to kill

HA/ HX is way too weak, they are suppose to be anti-cav

[bruce]

Crossbow damage is unaffected by wpf, just a minor point.

[Bobthehero]

HA/ HX is way too weak

A thousand times no.

[bruce]

A thousand times no.

Lungy plays on EU, we have much more foot ranged, foot ranged hybrids and such, not to mention some very good fully heirloomed foot archers. I was on NA once or twice EU wasn't working, there seemed to be much much less foot ranged.

Horses are not overpowered, they just had their counters nerfed to bits compared to before (Like old archery ballistic missiles, nuclear-tipped throwing weapons, or the super-lol-stab of two handers, or the plethora of one slot invisible when sheathed pocket pikes.).

Other things need to go up in power in my opinion, we've had enough nerfs.

Increase damage and speed across the board in melee, so people stick together more to survive.  That will put a halt to any uncoordinated lancing, the risks would be too great.
