Crossbow cav RAGE thread....

[Overdriven]

This is a MELEE GAME! Why play this game over COD or Battlefield?

Yup archery is the same as COD and battlefield. Got that one nailed.

[Bonze]

Why are they allowed to exist? They ride around the whole round and are the last ones alive every round.... WHYYYYYY DO THEY EXIST!

On a real note.... Shouldn't they have to like stop or something to reload... the way it stands they are just really OP if the guy riding them is as patient as Yoda.

The old melee veterans leave the game step by step .

The ranged (Pussy) lobbyist faction dominate this MOD now
Good luck with your request ..

[Spleen]

your infamy suggests that not alot of people will be saddened by you leaving the game...

I don't think HX should be completely done away with but really come on.... Make them stop or slow down while they reload... The way it is now they are basically untouchable until they want to be

[Lt_Anders]

Why are you TRYING to touch them anyway? You should be hiding or protecting your ranged. Fighting out in the open is bloody stupid to begin with. Too many idiots chase them like they chase running archers. They must think the same logic applies: I continue to chase, therefore i can eventually get them.

Who cares...

Yes, it is a really my old friendgy playstyle.

No, it's not a big deal because almost all of them are complete shit at it, except a couple Like Rohypnol.

Trust me, if you take away light crossbow the ability to reload on horseback, when they start to use arbalest, shoot then stop, dismount reload then mount himself up again then shoot, that is even worse as it will only slow down the round even more if they are the last one alive

Edit: also they are only good on open maps, on village/ city/ siege maps their efficiency is extremely low, especially on maps like nord town/ riot of swadia, they will probably just going to leech on those maps since they are useless already enough

I'm guessing EU hasn't seen the full force of Xbow cav yet.

[Bronto]

As an archer, if I see xbow cav on NA server (pretty much everyday i play), i aim for the horse. it's really quite simple, you kill the horse they are as good as dead. PROBLEM SOLVED!

[micah243]

Then archers need to all start aiming for those horses lol... I can not do anything against them with my sword except try to dodge....

[Havoco]

Except when the Xbow cav has a +3 Arabian warhorse and doesn't get within 40 meters of any archers.

[Adamar]

Lol really that is pretty accurate even though you are being sarcastic.... This is a MELEE GAME! Why play this game over COD or Battlefield? Because it has melee fighting... If you are playing a fucking ranged cav sniping guy then why are you playing this game???

You lost all of my sympathy with that comment. This is a medieval war game, melee is only part of it. The skirmish was also very influental in open medieval battles, some where even settled by it.
People would have a different opinion of this mod if there was some way to control the dumb charge at the beggining of every round.

Last night Rohypnol was the last man alive in a 1v8 while I was one of the 8. Fun 3 minutes. Hide, wait for flag, cap flag. When I'm one of the dead ones ill just browse the internet.

I don't mind good ones. I'm just generally annoyed by players that run away for 2-3 minutes because they have higher agi/ath while trying to milk their multipliers or to gain valor (if thats how it works). I just want to play the damn game, even if all I do is die.

[micah243]

Lol you say "oooo this is not a melee game this is a medieval warfare game" but the problem with that is, what makes this game different from other games that involve the medieval times? It is the directional swordplay aspect that Mount and BLADE pioneered. That is what made this game. If they had intended it to be full of stupid HX they wouldnt have bothered to include the directional system of blocking...
