Remove Horse Archer!

[Kifak]

Merc mode had a clan called Venice who used to join as 5-6-7 horse archer ( which we are witnessing our days in crpg but not in clan) population went down every time they joined the server cz it was so pathetic fighting them.. archers are already annoying on foot so how would they be on a horse which is even worse.
For people who learned the sentence "buy a shield" and using it in chat most of the time.. just stop it please.
I know alot of people won't agree with me.. but starting with me : i am the first guy who gets annoyed and pissed of HA and leave the game, there is nothing to be ashame of.
Just please find a solution. Destroying population not cool.

best solution is to play the mercs mod.

Plenty of options available to deal with horse archers. Starting with defending your own range players. Their damage is already capped. nerfed and their horse's speeds are reduced. In battle, you are typically put on one team or the other and you shouldn't play on the battle server as you would on duel or deathmatch. fighting a horse archer 1 on 1 as an infantry will definitely be by far more annoying than it is deadly. Just ask friendly range to target the horses.

wow it's so hard but  i will defend current state of HA, it's really hard to be very effective on battlefield with HA, sure most potatoes are just annoying rather than good but if u can't counter HA as archer it's  your fault (comparing HA in crpg to Ha in merc mod it's very, very i will be nice, wrong )

That's a reason I stopped playing Battle and only play DTV since 2 years.

Battle and Siege servers are really long and annoying to populate when a high/full hydride build join and then unbalance the teams.
I always played a support class (polearm) that was impossible to play with less than 10 players, mostly too slow.
Of course people complaining could adapt their characters, buy a shield, and get 170 wpf and 7 athletic, but for my part that's not the point, nor the fun of cRPG.

A good idea would be to limit the use of some classes/weapons depending of the amount of players online.
But don't worry, this will never happen.

so, welcome to DTV!
