Overdriven it seems like you aren't very construtive and don't really thnk about game balance - you just lobby for the items you are using yourself.
Lobbying for HA, lobbying for courser over arabian (since you are 'nerfing' yourself by using courser), lobbying for everything else you use - and whining for nerf for everything you don't use.
that results in many ppl not taking this trhead seriously - if you want to make a point, try to dig out some arguments and think about it in a bigger perspective.
Urr I've been thinking about game balance. And so far every suggestion tips it heavily against HA. Most of the people arguing here are either pissed off cav or pissed off infantry who have never even tried playing as HA. The ones who have been thinking sensibly have argued that HA is more annoying than dangerous except for those very few who are actually quite good at it (more people than not argued this). But as is always said, you can't balance by looking to the few best players.
I've suggested several things that may help the situation. One being agreeing with the better 1 slot, unusable on horseback bow (without taking away the strongbow for HA), which would give a nice buff to archers as they'd have a wider selection and would possibly be able to take a cav counter. Another, suggesting that throwing will heavily help the situation (people seem to forget throwing was an incredible cav counter before it got nerfed). A couple of throwing axes would take down your horse no trouble. I have no problem with throwing being added and with it being there as a cav counter. I welcome it.
I lobby for the courser because most people, when they suggest a manoeuvre nerf, don't specify. They suggest it for all horses. But there is a big difference between all the horses and so it has to be taken case by case. In open plains a courser is significantly better because of it's speed. I use it to keep up with/stay away from all cav whilst having a decent amount of hp/armour/charge, seeing as I view my primary role as killing cav. Which isn't nerfing myself, it's just viewing my role differently. Others see theirs as annoying inf, or being able to manoeuvre on smaller maps.
So far you haven't actually argued against the point of refuting your strongbow unusable suggestion. You have just resorted to suggesting that I am talking rubbish. When in fact I've argued a solid case here, and in many other posts. So perhaps you should argue back. Or maybe you can't think of anything and instead result to petty comments.
EDIT: O and I haven't suggested a nerf for anything I don't use
Besides, the only class I haven't played some of is throwing (hence why I never comment in the throwing buff thread because I don't know what I'm talking about. I simply know it's completely disappeared), so when I suggest something, it's not because I'm biased from an HA pov. That just happens to be my main route at the moment.
Many people don't take this thread seriously, because it's not really a serious suggestion. I've looked at it in different ways. And from playing in the server many times and simply put, HA really isn't that dangerous. I've admitted it's annoying as hell several times throughout this thread, but it is only dangerous in the hands of those who really know what they are doing. And they are few and far between. In the EU servers at least. So honestly, I listen to those who have valid concerns and suggestions, and most sensible suggestions fit the bill for this mod in the bigger picture, not from a nerfing HA heavily pov when many have said it doesn't even need it. I don't listen to those who come in here ranting about HA, when in fact, you are just proving how annoying we can be.
