how 2 protect urself from horse archers (ez steps)

[banned123]

I always believed HA was one of the hardest classes to actually play effectively pre-nerf, now it is just a joke class that is outpeformed by every other on in the game.

But even though I enjoyed playing HA it really should stay that way to be honest, the class is extremely obnoxious and awful for every single player in the server except the one playing HA. It's sad but you can't have a class like that be powerful or it's just game ruining.

5. Cry on the forums about how bad horse archery is and how its killing the game until its nerfed into oblivion and left completely unplayable

Well I was talking about playing against scrubby EU HAs and not being online against any of the really good NA ones, but sure, post your screenshots of your top tier kdr using an xbow so the ping disadvantage barely matters. Anyways I think it's safe to say that you've since lost this here disagreement seeing you had to resort to posting scoreboard pics first. GG wp. 

wow, way to take a joke there, I probably should have added a smiley to that to make it clear 
I still think that this old "NA players are better than EU/ EU players are better than NA"-dispute is just rubbish though.

Just wanted to give some genuine advice for playing against HA but you just seem to be pissed in general

It is actually scientific fact that NA are superior to EU. Don't believe me? NA 3 me you baddie

Have engough streght and Ironflash like Heskey

1. That requires relying on a fellow my old friendcher... pass
2. That requires becoming a fellow my old friendcher... hard pass

So I take it you have something against archers.

Horse archers just need to swear a martial vow so they can be unerffed. 

1.  Have only two quivers
2. Don't ride plated chargers and wear plate
3. I love you if you're last alive on it team

2. Don't [...] wear plate

Wait, since when archers with plates are op now ? WPFs affect drastically the damage output, putting on a plate is literally nerfing yourself when it comes to ranged effectiveness.

Right, but you also become immune to the things that might actually take out a horse archer, like a lucky spear strike, or other ranged classes.

you also become immune to winning in that case, a 1h or lance cav build with the same armor is way more efficient here than some heavy armored no-aim-HA

HA can be a huge help for the team harassing reloading xbows and archers, giving bump support for infantry being all around annoyance. They seem to be in a good place right now balance wise and not a joke class by any stretch of imagination even though it's pretty damn weak. Even I can top the scoreboard occasionally as HA and I'm not very good at it...

As for the counters, find an archer and hope he can hit the horse - arabian takes one arrow to kill...

Who are these superior NA horse archers btw as I've yet to see them in my hours of playing there? In fact the only really deadly HA I can remember in this game was Zibart or something (Zero-Sat).
