CTRL-J

because cav was missing fancy features

u mad because king mircea just used that 10 minutes ago to get behind you which didnt help at all.

its very useful to stop before you bump teammates with a heavy horse

Why is that even in the game?

Because you can get rid off the annoying horse-lag. Warping around like crazy, Ctrl + J is the only really viable option to get rid off it. Also, I've played a ton of 1h cav and I've never actually used it except for removing the lag. Might try it if I get back to playing it and see if it has it's uses.

Edit: I remember killing 1 or 2 lancers while fleeing and using backswing and Ctrl + J, but nothing big.

i find it pretty useful when being chased by 2-3 cav ctrl J and most go past you. I usually get rid of horse lag by double tapping w O.o

CTRL-J instastops and rears your horse. Why is that even in the game? It makes no sense to be able to do that and it's actually a really useful tool especially to 1h cav.

you already ruined a few maps, why are you trying to ruin the game even more??

Ah yes, I use it to do that as well of course. I can imagine the Warband devs implenting it solely because they were unable to actually fix the horse lag bug.

I like that my post is getting minused while nobody has posted me a proper reason for its existence. It's just a mechanism for saving your ass after you fuck up. If it wasn't in the game already I assure you there would be no one making a post suggesting a button to make your horse stop on a dime, because it is a ridiculous idea. Sure being able to rear your horse is way cool, but they could've required you to stand still in the first place. With WSE 2 you can even rebind it to an easier button and it allows you to stop when you are about to run into a pike or throwing weapon for a huge reduction in damage, it allows you to dodge chasing cav, it allows you to stop and block cav coming from the side, it allows you to fuck up the timing of an incoming lancer and stab him.

What makes you think that a rider can't rear his/her horse? At full gallop it wouldn't be possible but at a trot it works. Why wouldn't it be in the game?

Because as you say, you cannot make your horse rear at full gallop. Perhaps I should've stressed that I find the insta-stopping at any speed a problem, not the rearing itself, which is obviously awesome.

A lot of stuff isnt "real" in this game. Why are people dying from arrows in their hands? Why can players run at full speed after receiving falling damage? How can someone with a 3m pike stab a person right in front of him?

I like the that I can make horse whinny with CTRL+J. If the rearing is ever removed from the key-combo, please keep the whinny noise in, thanks.

Because it is desirable for gameplay to have things behave unrealistically like that. Is it desirable for gameplay to allow players to stop their horse instantly when moving at full speed? I don't think it is.

For me it is. Puts another element in "dog fights", I like it although I hardly ever use it. Also the rearing simply looks cool. I'm just happy that this feature isnt map dependant 

For you it might not be, as much as I hate this completely stupid sky-stabbing, its still ingame and you know very good how to (ab)use it.

Stop trying to MKFAC the game more Teeth.

FFS it's been around for at least 2 years!!!

I've only ever had total joyous fulfilment playing c-rpg twice.

The day I realised I could use ctrl-j with my 1h can to rape lance cav via decapitation.

And then the 3 weeks only used siege gear on siege which resulted in an explosion in it's use and it's removal for like 2 months from the game, such a proud moment :3

But fuck off from ctrl-j it's great!

What is this, a post from Teeth that does not have some kind of dry argument in it?
