I want to have an option to make my horse ignore whistles of other people.
Best option:
Horse only listens to whistle of its owner by default until he dies, then to everyone.

Easily coded (I guess :) ):
Give horses a flag that can be switched on at crpg page, and when it's set the horse ignores all whistles.
Alternatively - when horse becomes "stubborn" it doesn't respond to whistle.

Worst idea ever...the best part about horses in rpg is the whistle! Why don't you just sit on a corn cob instead of play Warband?

Other forum members should not be able to mute somebody by + or -.  That is the worst policy ever seen on a forum.  Look at me...muted due to biggotry for years!

Yes, yes, yes and definetly yes. No horse is dumb enough to come when other people whistle. Furthermore, whistle is usually abused just to kill the poor beast and indirectly griefing your team, only allowing the owner to whistle would help a lot against this rampant horse hate.

And how am I to kill all stray horses if they don't come when I whistle?
The worst idea ever.
I mean, what have you got to lose? You know, you come from nothing, you're going back to nothing, what have you lost? Nothing!

If I see a horse I kill it. If you get off of your horse you'd better say the last words you have to say to it because I am coming to turn it into glue. Whistles saves me some time and allow me to attack the enemy in between horses.

My mission in crpg.

I dismount a lot in battle and sometimes to save money i spawn horseless and wait for one to free up. Don't remove the whistle i need it and the OP is obviously a tard.

This is yet another thread to make cavalry even worse? Horsies are really expensive to maintain nowadays. You really cant use enough armor to keep yourself effective, because all the archers will destroy you, or your horse in seconds if you make one wrong move. And still someone suggests to remove whistling for horses? I want to loot someones horse when I am out of money or dehorsed on the battlefield. Not very likely to survive once my horse is killed, but whistling atleast gives me some chances to get away from the situation.  :shock:

chadz, please for historical accuracy, under the old laws everyone had the right to kill the man who steals his horse, most of them are worth less than the horse anyway, I can understand if we mustn't teamkill, but please don't give them the tools to do it.

If I see a horse I kill it. If you get off of your horse you'd better say the last words you have to say to it because I am coming to turn it into glue. Whistles saves me some time and allow me to attack the enemy in between horses.

You, Sir, need a therapy. You are like one who, because he was mistreated by his mother, sneaks into ladies restrooms and attacks defenseless handbags.


@All
For everyone that disagrees and isn't a troll, read the thread not only the title (mea culpa, I'll try to change it), this is about protecting horse owners who dismount from all the senseless whistle spam, lunatic horse slashers and "knights" who need to steal.


edit:
Why don't you just sit on a corn cob instead of play Warband?

Well, I have to mention it, but this is an epic response actually.

Wait, what?

That's the main reason why Whistling was implemented.

*backing up, hoping some friends come to help*
