That was the point Sphinx, having kiting as a playstyle but with more teamplay. Its better getting back to endless rounds of waiting for kiting than endless rounds of camping in a corner if you ask me mate. Also if people can play smart and lure mobs in few numbers as small teams who protect each others instead of rushing straight forward to die; there wont be so many deads to whine.
And dont forget, people who ride horses wont be able to kill anything themselves, teamwork is required. Some dead people whines, so what? They can whine all day long till their throats bleed, they should be more careful and listen their teammates to survive longer...
Why cav. was removed before? Because they were too powerful. How powerful can a "Rider" be while he cant even being able to use weapons or shields? So archers can shot the mobs rider's circling, why not? They are already shooting from their safe places behind the commandos who shield for them. (thats not a personal reply to you Sphinx, i like you mate. Thats just how i feel about the situation
)
If the problem is ranged players being able to kite on open maps, just slow them down with their equipments so they cant kite that well alone. Even without slowing them down, personally i can wait for 4 rounds to respawn if the kiter is smart and able enough to go manage that alone.
I tell ya this, if this mindless camping's going to continue and will stay as "only valid playstyle", i will simply quit. I'm saying this as a big fan of the NI who've never abondened the mod no matter how devs changed it before
. Something is wrong, mod's forcing players to play in 25 m^2 tiny areas while it can be so much more... I'm trying to suggest things to change that lately, but it seems people just ignores that we need a change for gameplay and keep saying "that cant happen" .
Well maybe i'm pushing it too much again, thats probably because i dont want to say my farewell to NI after a year. But maybe i need to chill out and find another hobby. I'm really grateful to devs who created and developed NI to this day. I'm still waiting for devs to reveal something out of their sleeves and making suggestions is the only thing i can do on that matter. At least i will be able to say "i did all i could" if that something will never happen
