Increase cav upkeep

[bruce]

If most cav were in rounceys they would be largely useless.  Have you fought on a rouncy?

Yes, I have. It means you're easily disposed of if you screw up while still being useful especially on open maps. It means you don't have the frankly dumb option of letting your horse be slashed just so you can kill someone, and then doing this repeatedly.

People keep saying things like this, but I don't think it makes sense.  You can mess up as a melee player plenty of times (miss a block, etc) and still get to fight on.  The heavier armor you wear the more you can make mistakes.  The heavier horse you take, the more you can make mistakes -- but you pay for it in terms of speed, meneuverability, and cash. 

Makes sense to me the way it is now.

After being on this forum for so long I have developed the tendancie to fap to threads such as these

Increase the upkeep of 2h swords.

[Thryn]

Shielders and 2h should be vulnerable to cavalry, considering that *most* of 1h/2h weapons aren't designed for fighting it. Be aware of enemy cav, stay with your team, and try to find someone who has a weapon made for fighting ponies (pikemen). If you have extra slots as well, bring a weapon that rears cav (carrying a weapon like this also wards off some nerds like a bubble of invulnerability).

It sucks (as infantry) getting killed by cav, regardless if you think that it's easy or hard. Bring proper gear to stop the pony stomp.

its the AMOUNT of cav im complaining about, not the class itself. and of course, naturally they all has to go on the same fucking team. thats how balance is in some fucked up minds. one team have archers, the other team have cav. thats awesome balance. yes it is.

Your thread failed hard, also i dun get your whine with our current map rotation, cav is utterly shit.

Also by your logic we should increase upkeep on 2h/polearm since they are the most used weapons currently...

[Sniger]

so what else do you wise guys suggest?

i just quit a 40 total player map. 18 vs. 18. half the other team was cav.

when theres too much cav, range will also be overloaded exactly because there is too much cav. and when range-overload cav will also be overloaded because there is overload of range. its really really retarded. i suggested the increase upkeep becuase noone cba to code or even discuss class balance, because "oh its too hard to do" (comparred to the crazy banner balance code?! LOL) or "we like it how it is" (YEAH cos you are fucking cav yourself and give a flying fuck about even matches!)

Since slashing cav still does insane damage and lance cav has got much better sweetspots now I think a general survivability nerf of armoured horses could not hurt. Heavy cav is quite OP, now both lancers and horseslashers.

[Sniger]

yeah SOMETHING must be possible to do without causing fora whine spam because really, seriously, i love cav, they essential and fun to play but just the slightest overload have really big impact especially when servers low populated

edit: and also, i think there should be some kind of prestige in being cav. back in the day, having a horse was like having a private jet today. im playing with the idea of making cav available only to lvl 31 or above i think that would be cool but i also understand that it would be shot down by the majority :/

and even without a horse some players are still op! (royans! why you little...! )

[Sniger]

how about keeping current upkeep but make horses crazy expensive? once a rider is killed while horse is alive, people will jump eachother to get it / enemies will shoot it

[Sniger]

part of the problem is that when people have x1 and its open map, they log out and hop on a cav alt

with our current map rotation, cav is utterly shit.

Past week's rotation has been very cav friendly, though.
