Yeah, that’s untrue. I can dismount an attacker and kill him while completely naked and with encumbrance attribute maxed. Not 100% of the time but it’s possible I know from experience…
The only reason I can think of is the horse seems to be an agro magnet, I tell the thing to stop following, then need to chase the thing to kill whatever mob decided to chase it.
And I have lost horses in the mounds because it picked up agro and ran attracting more mobs.
If mobs would give up the chase or the horse couldn’t be cornered? then I would be Okay with less HP on a mount.

Well yes different time spent indeed I do work so yes one official server is plenty for me at a time. I’ve been playing with my clan mates for a long time most of us have over 7000 hrs in the game so believe me your condolences aren’t needed. Also I think you have a problem with the truth because I highly doubt you can achieve lvl 60 and a impregnable base in a day on a official pvp server.(unless you’re in the mesh) so before your nose grows anymore please take a step back for a second and remember is just a game. Ps I’ve seen your (pvp) build before so I call bs on all your claims.

That would still just be horse is the only counter to horse. Almost every complaint about horses has the same root issue…its so meta that all other fighting styles are just pathetic and wastes of time to master. There has to be a negative or coutner to the horse and there isn’t one…
New idea…how about you can’t ride in claimed zones? It would be easier to design into the system and you just get thrown if you ride into a claimed zone…the only disadvantage to this is that this would turn horses into the foundation sweeping scouting meta…nevermind.

That’s some good creative feedback right there
He might be telling the truth but individual instances is not the way to discredit the overwhelming data that shows horses are OP. I used to be the same way and defend the horse…but changed my stance when I saw the effects it was having to the play styles of the PVP community (like Black ice building and aspect of the demon with dragon hide and SL light)…all folks just gravitated towards this and stopped doing anything else making the servers dull and just a multiday fortnite with 1-3 clans running the entire server killing all others that get in their way.

No, I’ve not posted any of my PvP builds - ever.
Also keep in mind “one day” is 24 hours… not a “working day” of 8 or so…
the quickest things that should have been implemented/disabled the day after they noticed they were live on pvp servers:
- hp bars ESP
- picking up building pieces on a pvp server
I wish he emphasized this more in the video, but the player list being hidden still to date does not make sense. You can go to any website or ping steam api to see the funcom ids and current player list in a server and get all the info you need about who’s online and what their playtime is. Who was the change to make it hidden protecting? The people who server hop to grief can still do so without even connecting to look at a player list. It’s so dumb.

There are times like this that I am so glad I’m console player. Sure you have mods on PC but all this other junk that makes it completely unfair and ruins immersion…ugh.

Yeah I agree. I just don’t think we can get rid of mounts at this point, the effect they have had on travel and farming (and PvP) are just too great. I’m of the mind that we just embrace it and make them the default combat option (they are anyway). I would give every weapon type either the option to be used mounted or a way to dismount an opponent. The fewer weapons made useless by how strong horses are the better.
It could be the case that nerfing horses with a significant downside is enough (more in line with rhinos like Cero mentioned), but I’m skeptical. Even if you deleted horses, rhinos would take their place as meta. People rarely complain about the OPness of rhinos (bc horses are so much better). My point is that in CE any mount capable of combat is OP compared to sandals, unless you are willing to make mounts travel only I think that will always hold true.

I entirely agree and that is someone who uses horses extensively
it is ridiculous I am able to do that, while defending a wheel I am able to ride, not even at a full gallop, take more than half his health from over a foundation block away.
and that isnt even with an optimum strength build, no wolfhelmet, no beserkers draught.

I don’t think the solution is to remove horses. I love the idea of mounts. I think they should keep them…just put tweak them to have a weakness that you can exlploit…maybe two handed axes doing tripple damage…maybe a spear attack that throws the rider immediately. I don’t know but some level of balance to it that doesn’t require me to bestial memory a new character build into an archer and shoot the horse with blunt arrows.

Oh but you did. It was a while back I’ll try to find it unless it got deleted. I remember asking why you use the wolf chest piece because it’s useless and you gave me some witty answer about how you like it. 
Yup very easy. Trust me I’m forced to use a lance as well. It makes foe boring cheesy gameplay
If my only options are nerf the lance or leave it as is, then yeah nerf it.

Why do you think so? I’m on a server with off-lining turned off and it seems better. The wars are more intense. People need to be in similar time-zones tho. Anyway, I’m curious, why do you think offlining needs to be a thing?
May I ask for a ceasefire, as this might be detracting from the convo? I don’t recall your holding me to such standards when I by my own admission have babysat servers in such a way. 
Truly, if I could have anything occur from this, it would be some sort of mechanism that churns the idle servers over after a while. I know for a fact that once you “curate” a server like my last one, its members are free to branch out elsewhere. And they sure did. I would like something to combat the refreshers, who were basically loot chests for all the people who ventured onto their lands.

It’s the simplest solution in a world of other issues.
