Temporary autobalance change (EU only)

[Gurnisson]

ranged stacks ruin the fun for most melee/cav players, which also happens to be most of the player population. it is unfortunate that you and your clanmates cant all be archers on the same team, but why not just play a different class or have your clanmates play a different class

Not anymore, is it?

Well now we have a cav meta, the most busted class with a bunch of open maps.

[Kenda]

I'd rather always be put on the opposite team of the majority of my clan than have this class stacking going on.

Regardless of how powerful you think archery or cavalry is, facing them in large numbers is so boring, especially when you dont have any of that class on your own team.

cav is at least way easier to counter than ranged
there's a lot of people on the field who actually carry a pike/lance, but only a few of them keep their awareness up

except for DaveUKR, can you asshole stop guarding your archers I can't fucking do my cav job and backstab them goddamnit and these shits keep shooting my horse, you're not supposed to think and actually use tactic in crpg

Even with a decent sized 2h you can counter cav well enough.

thats btrue, I can kill cav and leave horse alive if i know they are coming and time it right with my sai. They only are a problem if the run you down from behind unawares while you are fighting someone else or if they are riding in a herd, which ironically is the really only problem with ranged too the archers nest.

[Gravoth_iii]

So i need long weapons to counter cav, but getting shields for ranged is a bizarre idea? Besides, in theory yes cav is easily countered, but they dont allow for any fighting, and forces you to keep everyone on your team in one spot to not get picked off. Not saying theyre op dont get me wrong, we'll just see how long this sticks for and people might not be so happy with it in the end. I guess i could just join them as well.

Strict autobalance is back on just to make people aware of it

[Athelar]

Saw some HA actually doing well on EU1, has their damage been increased? Seeing people die pretty quick

Last time I heard about there being changes to HA and HX, they got nerfed to oblivion. Not enough then, I suppose.

[Finse]

Just remove this already 

[Kenda]

Did you revert it again? Back to all infantry on one team with all the cav and ranged on the other...

No one reverts it I think, it might just be the server going back to its default autobalance by banner after reset.

But now you ask, do you feel any difference from strict autobalance and autobalance by banner?

[Larvae]

before it was mostly just bannerstacking,now if u have 5 of one clan,it puts 3 in one and 2 in the other team,but it somehow manages that still all cav or ranged are in one team

Feels like the sample of playing with the "strict" balance is a bit small, however from what I've experienced clans seem to be getting split up alot more, but it also felt like the balance between classes were greater than usual.
