Thank you Funcom for nerfing horses in 2.4 been waiting so long for this

,

Hi exiles! I had to flee from a guy on foot that was kiling me and my horse just using the heavy attack of the katana! Others have dismounted me by using repeated light attack of the bow! You can easily dodge a horse, if you timed it right, and only skilled riders can ride the horses without getting trapped against something or falling from some clif of rock! So there’s counters! And when a rider falls he is always helpless with the stamina all drained! I agree that the power added to the weapons shouldn’t exist! But don’t come tell me that there’s no counters!

If the game would have gone the entire mile towards Realism, idd nothing would be wrong. Imagine yourself being Hit by a horse At full throttle and then you get a Smack in the head also from a 10 feet lance.

My thoughts on why mounted combat became meta.

Well, everyone could have done it. More so it went towards giving solo players some confidence around 10 man clans.

No worries, we getting our 1 vs X back it seems. As i mentioned already a Couple of Times…more of the same old.

We Asked for it. We got it. We disliked it…

Edit: solo players are a lot more in numbers then 5+ clans. So the chance of crossing Paths with a lance was high.
I must say, i like that they will reduce the dmg players do while mounted, it will still be OP imo even After nerf. I like it because even the best players sometimes miss a Dodge :crazy_face:

I battle on foot and on horseback! Usually the horse only against npcs and defending a base! Most pvp battles are better on foot! I think that some complains are just that! Complains! A horse riders knows that to fight another player, who is smarter than an npc, being on foot and leaving the horse scouting is Best!

Yes I watched the stream. And sometimes a nerf is a fix. Not everytime but sometimes. And in this moment I see a nerf on horses a fix to balance the PVP between mounted and ground PVP.

My fix is a nerf aswell, since I want you to have speed advantage only.

A nerf is never a fix, its a complete breakage of a system, weapon, tactic, technique etc.
When they nerfed food healing, that was their “fix”. Now food recipes are almost useless.
A huge part of the game become worthless. That’s the FC fix. Enjoy it.

Totally dissagree that a nerf cant be fix. Like with horses, it’s very rare that something new and fresh is released and is perfect from the beginning. And that was the case with mounts, it was/is unbalanced in a way that we haven’t seen in conan before.

Double damage+damage from horse, last hit effect on each weapon, no stam taken away while hitting, no stamina taken away while swimming (if u didnt hold sprint, but regen back stam while releasing it), able to hit from horseback while swimming, with new stam system almost no punishment for getting knocked of the horse since u can get up on it right away. I can keep on for so much longer.

And if people dont see that it needed a nerf or a rebalance (wich probably is the most effective way doing it), you just ignorant.

Only reason some people dont like horses getting “worse” is probably because they are afraid that the PVP gonna go towards the direction before mounts, with other words they are afraid to lose all ability to kill people whatsoever.

I see the best PvP is still on the forums

And the best excuses.

I see we are back to the “how dare that noob kill me” argument.

This thread had become like a daily sitcom for me.

Don’t they already do that but on horses with a 10 man clan? Lmao

Yes large clans are the biggest griefers. They have no balls so they gotta gank in groups because they suck at 1v1. :smiling_imp:

Wut? :confused:

The force is strong with this one

May the force be with you

I’ve never really gotten big into PvP yet, just been enjoying playing on my own server privately.

But the lack of health gain drives me kinda crazy. I have 30 points in Vitality, and almost every tier 3 or 4 thrall at level 0 has more hp than me (whether they have 0 or 30 Vit).
Plus they can wear all the same armor that I can.
I have a Cimmerian Berserker follower that I leveled to 20 with over 70 strength, and almost as much Vitality as me.

Sure makes you feel useless as a Player when your thrall has better stats than you, more hp than you, etc.

I’m sure I’d get slaughtered in actual PvP because I’ve never had to learn high-skilled combat tricks (I just hide behind a shield and strike when able). But the system as is, that’s what it tells you to do. Let your thrall do the work. They have more hp, more stats, don’t run out of stamina, etc.

The other thing that always drives me crazy is that when I get hit by an NPC (thrall or animal), it staggers me and interrupts my attack. But if I hit an NPC, it never does. Doesn’t seem to matter what weapon I’m using, the advantage in melee is always against the player. Which is just one more reason to let your thrall fight for you.

Yes it is thats why some Joker on the Dev team added lightsabers to the game. I am surprised Disney hasn’t sued them.

probably they will over react and make them useless… like with so many other things… It is like funcom finds players want to use something… so they kill it.,

They’re too busy appeasing the outrage mob these days…

Hi @Viro ! About the stagger effect! You’re right! One thing is if it’s an undead against you, it makes sense the damned bones don’t feel anything! But against everything else it doesn’t make sense! So I began to use light armor now! It as become much easier to evade attacks, and strike back very fast! I haven’t tried This against a player yet! But I have been killed by other’s using a light armor , against me, wearing a heavy vitality armor! And In my humble opinion giving us player’s a minimum of 2000 health , would solve some problems and change the way everyone plays! But This should be in another topic?! :sweat_smile:

The funniest part of the Jedias Greatsword is where they claim Dis and Nee stole it when Lucas outright sold it to them when he rage quit due to Red Tails not being funded by others.
