POST OF HATE

[Panos_]

1.Lower the ammo , most horse archers dont have a melee weapon so they can stuck up arrows, e.g 3 bodkin quivers give 51 arrows 

2.Introduce the angle restriction that lancers have to both HA/HX

3. Crossbows should require power draw skill aswell

4. Make the yumi unusable on horse

It was just a rage post didnt thought we will get some good ideas

Other than 4, I'm game :p (I don't think it would improve anything, could make it 2 slot though, would reduce arrow count)

(Personally I find I do just aswell with a nomad/strong/khergit as my yumi, much easier to land hits with the higher shoot speeds)

This is actually a pretty good idea.

All these suggestions have been made before. Just saiyan.

If you don't like HA don't chase them, unless you can sneak up and couch them.  They only get points if you chase them, if they chase you they get negative speed bonus and do very little damage.

And if you don't ride a horse?

halp halp I'm being oppressed.


somebody call the wambulance, people are playing other classes than what I would prefer them to be playing.

if we had a conquest game mode, it wouldn't matter if someone was riding around pew pewing on the edge of the map. 

Your options as melee infantry for dealing with horse archers are to either hide behind a building, or do a better job protecting your own ranged teammates who can help take down the enemy horse archer.   Or cry on the forums.  But only one of these options is pro-active and likely to get positive results.

Says easy mode cav that counters everything or can just avoid HA while still having fun in the game

Your suggestions are all to either not play or play something else entirely. Yeah sure OK, done that..actually most others have too. BTW Conquest isn't the answer, its not much fun from my experience

Real solutions is to avoid putting in classes that inflate a persons impact on the round simply by playing that class, and to stop making the ideal counter to ranged to have more ranged. Make infantry a real role in the game rather than a passive class that only has impact by zerging. Take away melee's strengths from ranged roles, make cav less easy to play. Stuff like that

OP rides a horse and uses a lance.

If not here are suggestions, which have also been said before:

Fake Afk... and kill their horse with 1 stab of any weapon.

pay attention to your back using ~... and kill their horse with 1 stab of any weapon.

stay near your archers, cav love archers... and kill their horse with 1 stab of any weapon.

bring a polearm with stab... and kill their horse with 1 stab.

oops Crazy Double Post... GO SAINTS WHO DAT!

[Zhyang]

Man of Steel is right..mounted ranged players are the most annoying and its just no fun if they play in the enemy team

This is quite simply just not true. They get speed bonus every time they are shooting forwards while riding. If you are riding ahead of HA, that negates some of that speed bonus but never does it get negative since they tend to be faster riders than melee cav.

Good for you then .

Sadly it doesn't make your original post true for majority of melee cav. One arrow from an occational HA is not the end of the world when you're able to go away from them but you're fucked for good if they can follow you.
