Support for Cav

[LordChaos]

Ehhhhhhh don't go around the subject ! :p

Why are we even speaking of EK and rapiers? Rapiers look generally bad.

The current struggling class in cav is pike, it's just a fact, so I don't see any connection with all of this o.O

Just add a house craftable usable in cav and a regular craft usable in cav that is light blue, better than the hunting spear :p.

Beside this, I still think cav support would be great. If you guys have any feedback on the main subject, it would be awesome I guess xD?

Oddly enough, there is someone that was set on the task of finishing Cavalry mode that had already worked out most of the necessary fixes with a team of testers and idea makers.  Last I heard, he retired for some reason and no one else has decided to take on the responsibility.  Cavalry mode requires a lot of work that people would rather focus on other parts of the game.

The ideas suggested are neat, but the amount of coding going into a lot of it is not particularly feasible right now.  I've always been an advocate of buff support items and they have been discussed a great deal, but I believe they have not yet been fully implemented due to similarity to the current buff banner and severe coding limitations when dealing with anything other than damage.

PS - Rapiers are beautiful.  However, I agree, they have no place on horseback.

It's too bad, honestly, which means that cav is "dead".

To others:

I still don't understand why a rapier would solve the issue, because if it will be added it will surely be used just for Thrust and no other moves would be allowed, which by the M&B Warband Engine is screwed up especially that bots can autoblock it. So there's no point in going in there unless you can do an overhead swing eventually, but even, the reach wouldn't be that appealing, which makes it a dead weapon before even its release or use. 

Beside this, I don't understand why people are not demanding for 1 or 2 more weapons for Pike to allow them to compensatethe weakness they're dealing with in Cav.
