The gameplay that results from too many mounted ranged is the biggest issue, something people often discount because they don't see the individual classes as being OP. They create stalemates where players don't want to move around the map, and especially towards the end of the round players have to go super turtle mode and wait for flags a lot of the time, which is not ideal for anyone on the server especially dead guys

Main problem though is how do you put counters into the game that don't rely on cav and other ranged, because when they're dead you get these boring stalemates that suck up a lot of time. You can't really so you just end up nerfing the class into uselessness so people won't play it. So updated rules might be the only option left, like you can't play mounted ranged when you're the last few guys left, you have to dismount and kill the horse

Why should the ha/hx have to do that? Because you failed in protecting important members of your team? Fuck that.
Try to protect the players that can acutally help you against this "FUCKING OP CLASS" after this patch.

Having 1 HA/HX alive at the end extends the round time more than anything else in the game. Thats the problem and its not avoidable a lot of the time since its a public play server, I can't choose who my ranged shoot at or protect all over the map

[JohanE]

Ofcourse you cant, but, ive seen many rounds where there is only one ha/hx left vs 10+ melee in the other team. Just saying.

Cut off the balls of HA players

oh wait they don't have any to begin with

Wait what ? Corsair crying out loud again ? What a surprise........

Not only are they extremely irritating, they also draw out the rounds till MOTF and make you pay more upkeep per round, i only play DTV & random strat battles mostly now, its such a shame that few scumbag players managed to ruin the only battle server on EU for the rest of us, i say bring back EU_4 and permaban all HA/HX that dares to enter there.

isn't it a slight issue that

1) the HA tend to avoid archers until they've been killed, (usually ganging up on people in a spawn rape or following other cav around the map), and then at the end of the round win the map
by kiting and shooting melee players who can do nothing to fight back

and 2) that currently there are almost as many ranged on horses as ranged not on horses, and they're doing almost as much damage (if there's a shoot off between a team's horse ranged and a team's foot ranged, it's not certain who would win, regardless of infantry protection

I just come from Eu 1.

What can I say more than nerf horse archery. Horse crossbow is (almost) balanced, same for horse throwing, but there... horse archery is just a spam of arrows on EU 1, you die and loose your multi because of a bunch of mounted my old friendchers. Thanks to the patch, they got more WPF and are able to use yumi on horseback to deal more damages, even to armored players.

If I want to be spammed of arrows by fucking idiots, why not playing native ? This is going on my poor nerves, and I think I'm not alone to think it. The paradox is I play archer. I always say things as an objective guys even if I whine a bit efter getting 1 hit by a random thing, but THIS is the probably the worst thing that happened. Revert the WPF formula maybe ?

no offence but when the enemy team has 5 HA 2 HX a Horse thrower and a bunch of other ranged there is little L2Play about it. our team spent the entire round hiding for 4 rounds in a row because moving was met with a hail of arrows and yes i was a hoplite supposed to be counter to both This was this morning and i RQ because even after hiding for so long we always lost. when we didn't hide we lost even quicker, I chamber kicked a guy to the floor and before i could even begin my attack i was hit by three arrows

you rarely see so much QQ about anything else in crpg

is there any chance that HA will be buffed? its really boring to shoot players even 9 times to kill them.. and accuracy is very bad, u have to stop your horse and shoot to hit something, otherwise its to much random. also lower repairs , in few days i am out of gold (lost 90 000 gold) 

[Mr.K.]

Maybe devs could buff HA more and see what happens, that's what they've been doing recently... Prolly didn't help that some people respecced into a high level HA with the free respec.

go 15/21 level 32 HA build with yumi and a heavy horse, spam arrows at enemy cav for the first 3 minutes of the round but stay away from enemy archers

when enemy archers are dead from allied melee and there's only 15 players alive, hunt melee who can't fight back for free kills. gg.

btw, i'm currently losing ~~ 80% hp to foot archers per shot, and ~~ 70% to horse archers, so the difference in damage is really negligible, especially considering a horse archers' ability to go behind a shielder and shoot him in the back whilst he's trying to face off an archer to the front.

IMO horse archery shouldn't be in the game at all, it's just a silly class which removes the user from the fight, until he's one of the last few alive.

if you can use that build and gear then you would indeed be special corsair
