Cavalry Nerf.... WHY

Cavalry lancing got completely overhauled
You can now only thrust in the direction your horse was facing when u held down the lance attack.
Its a very small area of attack given.
Also dragging the lance to a different side is jacked up
You have to basically drive-by someone with your lance


This is crap imo

and from what I have analyzed I am fairly certain cRPG will see a HUGE influx in Light Lances, War Spears, and HIGH Manueveribility horses. Arabian and Desert horses will be bought up like crack on the corner.

Goodbye Coursers and Heavy Lances

Has Changed

Cav Lance aim

Just wondering what was going on with lances on horseback... So it looks like thrust aim has been restricted to the same window as a couched lance. Which I can deal with. But I find it very difficult to consistently control which side of the horses head the lance is directed when menuvering. It is hard to accurately describe the problem, it seems like when turning the horse, the camera angle has less of an impact on the direction of the lance than the turning input.... dunno if that makes any sense. Pre-patch I had never experienced anything like this. Anyhow, I dig the new website, and the new hafted blade cav animation (still forming opinion about the rest). Looks like a lot of work went into it all!

I would use the words "fail patch, is fail." to describe this problem.

Cav is not cav anymore.
Its just men on horses getting poked.

Cav did not need a nerf at all.  If people whine and complain about all the horses we tell them to get a pike.
They buy pikes and cav stays away.

Patch

Cav cant do shit and they still have pikes.

im not one for complaining about nerfs or changes to the mod but if i was a new person coming into this mod, i enjoyed playing cav, wanted to pick it up in this and then had this kinda first impression i would /wrists and uninstall. Doesn't make sense, isn't balanced and the person(s) behind it are probably to pussy to give a logical reason why. I can only hope that it was an oversight and will be tended to via hotfix.

Yeah, this new patch did nothing good for the game, and is going to chase away a lot of members. Hope whoever decided to do this is happy..

So far, I've seen Throwers get the wussiest nerf in the game, 1 1/2 handers getting fucked with two slot weapons and a shit stab, considering their range and Cav getting this shit slung onto them for no reason when they had very little reason to be nerfed in the first place. (Because, let's face it. With the proliferation of Pikes and xbows before this patch, you couldn't even run into combat, you where effectively unable to do your job as a cav due to the amount of 0wpf xbows and pikes everywhere.)

Honestly, this doesn't bother *me*, because I'm currently an Archer and Long Bows have pierce damage back, but as for the game at a whole, I feel that it's not a good idea and that it'll make some builds even more OP than before.

And for fuck's sake, lower throwing damage already, or cause them to take up too many slots to be useful past the first one or two throws, people are still stocking up on throwing axes and chucking 'em like crazy, you're busy re-animating 2h and bows all the time, but throwing isn't changed at all, when it really needs it bad.
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong. That is our oath.

It's unrealistic and unnecessary. "Long" Pike is already enough of a nerf, in addition to the out-of-whack new upkeep (which I hope is a bug.)

nerfing is the one thing that destroys games, you nerf one item and guess what? you have to nerf the other to balance it out.
SO STOP NERFING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE GAME
