Lowered HP for Light Horses?
Maybe you haven't noticed but any horse under Destrier (~90 hitpoints) dies in:
2 Francisca's
2 Light crossbow bolts
2 - 3 Arrows
1 Jarid
1 Throwing lance
1 Heavy crossbow bolt
I feel all damage need some kind of nerf, but on the other hand hits need to count. One of the easiest solution would be changing soak and something values in module.ini or whatever it was called. Damage is now one plain number and one type. Then, the value is reduced by some plain number, then reduced value is reduced by some percentage. I feel that the first kind of reduction need to be decreased across the board and the second number need to be increased across the board. This will lead to less bouncing off and less one hit kills. Also this will make horses more less vulnerable to shooting in general.
Second thing that need to be adjusted is some kind of nerf for both throwing and xbows, after last patch i feel archery need to be again nerfed a bit.
Also, as rider of the light horse can one hit kill people, why he feel that he should be allowed to make mistakes ? It screams double standards. I feel that lances need general reduction of damage across the board.
Every other player now has ranged. x50 - 60 players you have a shitstorm flying your way every time they see you.
As ranged is the only reliable counter to cavalry, why shouldn't they go ranged ? On a serious note, ranged is too good in the mod, and in the game. All ranged should be 2 stage, like xbow, and speed of ranged need to be toned down (at least it's true for xbows and archers now).
Zero Tolerance for Mistakes?
Cavalry build relies on his horse as his primary weapon. There is already no tolerance for any mistake, if you get close to the enemy crowd and they see you == death. 1 Projectile hits your horse and that's it. There is no tolerance for any mistakes, please try playing cav sometime.
No it don't. Cavalry guys do just fine without their horses. If cav is stupid enough to go alone into enemy line, its HIS FAULT. If infantry do the same, it's also DEAD, same for archers. Why do you want cav to be special ?
I've seen horses take way more than 1 projectile, even 2 ridding horses. In some cases it's 1 in some it's 5.
Make cavalry obtainable by infantry and archers?
In other words, make horses shitty useless items who everyone has but rarely uses because they get them killed.
Cavalry is supposed to be rare and expensive, everyone and their brother riding around on horses just like now is little different than native circle stab.
Cavalry need to be rare, and should require skill to use. Weak cavalry should be dead cavalry.
Available for everyone not only for grinders?
Again maybe you haven't noticed but the new money/xp system allows people to make ~10k/hour when wearing mid tier armor. There is no grind in obtaining high tier equipment/horses anymore.
Not anymore?
Nothing more than a useful helper?
Don't you think that's a little bit bias? Might as well say: lets remove horses and replace them with donkeys and mules. (I'm sure chadz wouldn't mind)
Cavalry atm is downright broken, the nerf will not change it.
Bumpkills are unfair? Did nothing more than pressed W?
Maybe you have not noticed, but the bump damage has been halved, there are very few heavy horses, horses barely kill anyone by trampling them.
Unfair? Nothing more than pressed W?
It is totally unfair that you did not/could not move when you saw a two ton beast was rumbling in your direction, how sad it ran u over and it hurt.
As infantry you have another two keys A and D, try to use them sometime. Also there are long sharp sticks called pikes, everyone has one now, I suggest you too give them a try.
Have you tried dodging horse with some maneuverability. It's not easy. Cav can bump then stab or slash to get easy kills.
It's good that just bump kills are rare now.
Pointy stick sucks against good cav, 1 vs 1, in clusterfuck they sucks too.
Horse is dead rider still alive?
Obviously you are not a cav player lol. 9 out of 10 times when your horse dies there will be a mob of infantry bashing away at your scull and stabbing you in the butt with their sticks, or an archer/crossbowman/thrower throwing sending in projectiles to finish the job, or the cav that just dehorsed you pulling in a couch/stab/bumpslash to finish the job while you are tasting the dirt.
9 out of 10 times when the rider looses his horse he also looses his life.
It's because the cav in question sucks. And organisation of his team sucks. Besides 9/10 is total bull.
