Okay just to show you people that developers don't know what they really want to do... I was raging in may about the heavy lance beeing too slow, admins answered that:
Nice job leaving out the stuff that makes your view look bad, Toffi.
What the real point was:
Heavy lance: long and slow
Light lance: short and fast
Normal lance: in between light and heavy
This makes the other lances a real option, pre-patch pretty much all lancers used heavy lance.
damage reach speed
light 28 175 90
normal 27 180 80
heavy 27 190 65
So reason enough not to change it...
but now.. they changed it back to 72 speed... great cause now I have to trade in my MW lance for a MW heavy lance again, cause MW lance got useless again.
Its stupid to heirloom anything in the game, no matter what you choose its always the wrong decision, horses are too expensive, lances get changed with every patch and hit radius is reduced too, its just bullshit. crpg gets worse and worse with every new patch. Only strategus is worth playing.
