Cavalry

[Sultan Eren]

Accerelation and maneuverability should go down and health should go up.

PS. I was a cav till my last gen.

[Gorath]

And fast. ah and manuverable.

And highly damaging/destructive

[Vibe]

Overall I think cav is balanced, but like I suggested in one of the other cav threads, cavalry should go from backstabbing ninjas to support role.

[Chaos]

I agree, cavalry should no longer be able to kill players that aren't paying attention to them. They should gain the full time status of "support role", which to archers is aka pin cushion apparently.

But really, please do something about high maneuver horses. Their capabilities are what the vast majority of infantry complaints refer to. Except for the "jet pony" complaint, but honestly a courser at top speed is exponentially easier to kill than a steppe horse at reduced speed. Its maneuver that's the problem. And horse sounds, although I've never had problems with them myself. But then again I play with a cheap $15 headset, so I'm probably ahead of the curve there

Accerelation and maneuverability should go down and health should go up.

Acceleration is maneuverability. Did you happen to play only one horse and did that horse happen to be arabian?

Very much balanced right now. As I bitched about in my "HORSE BURF" thread though, I'd prefer a different type of balance.

both need ot be way fucking louder, end of story.
with my headset before one of the speakers broke i said the same thing about horses. Using a speaker&mic right now horses have no sound at all, and people don't make noise regardless.

it is really bad I don't know why footsteps and shit are so quiet. You can't even change them yourself?!? what a weak sound set up in options

It's not just quietness that's the problem, it's also that the game doesn't allow for realistic location of the source. In real life, if a horseman was approaching you from behind at full gallop, you'd be able to tell. In the game, however, it's mostly indistinguishable from some teammate riding around in circles ten metres away. Hence ninja cav.

As one of those Ninjas always back stabbed by Cav, I fully endorse this. 

Anyway, that is sort of a support role: pick off the stragglers, scout, pick off archers. Things are fine the way they are (minus the katana). No more nerfs/buffs, let the pot settle!

Is it just me or is there really way less cav than 2 months before?

- make it hard to upkeep light horse
- nerf some speed and maneuver on horses
- put up some bullshit restriction on lance ( the spine! oh the spine )
- decrease its damage ( new armor soak, faster speed or something )
- add throwers to the mix
- gimp HA a bit (because pure 2h got no offensive response to them)

sit back and enjoy the effect

[Cyclopsided]

close this outdated necrobumped thread.
Everything in it is irrelevant now.

Still way too many roaming around. It's hard to master lance but every fool can be succesful with it, even I was pretty solid with it. 1H cav is and always will be backstabbing bastard but it seems that a lot of people have long weapons so it's actually harder to play as 1H cav than "nerfed" lancer.
