Seriously, do you know how to do anything but rage? Ever since update 0.2.9 all I've seen of you is rage posts about cavalry being useless. For the sake of all of the community, make some suggestions. Your opinion is shit, just like everybody else's, but your suggestions could be of use.
One shotting Zweihanders, check.
Shooting over shields in the face for 1-2 hit kills on the end waves, check.
Shooting once or twice at horses to cripple them (Much like the now useless player cavalry) then finishing the rider off with 1-2 arrow to the face, check.
And I can go on and on.
Doing any of that is also extremely easy when you have over 300 wpf in archery with a War bow.
The shooting over shields in the face only doesn't work in hardmode because they've got too much shield skill and the coverage is like twice as big as the actual shield's model.
I also think the problem is the fact that the game at this point relies on bullshit difficulty (Reminiscent of old shitty NES/SNES games where the difficulty was centered about how shitty the controls were as opposed to clever monster placement) such as bots having 150 strenght, 10 skill points in everything, using 99c 99p weapons that have crush through and bonus to shield with 130 speed (Prince is obviously and totally not rage inducing with the massive amount of bullshit surrounding him) as opposed to making the difficulty clever as opposed to just plain bullshit.
It's a bit like the Zweihander wave when I first started the game.
Fight farmers, next wave, plated guys with big ass swords, next wave, back to farmers. Totally not bullshit difficulty or anything, then later waves you have shielders with 5 times your strenght and all their skills maxed, cool.
I also think the idea of legendary weapons is also stupid, I think they all look like shit because the models have been ripped straight from old games (Obsidian axe from Lineage 2, explaining the shitty paper-thin fantasy model and extremely low res texture not to mention the yet again, OP stats as opposed to the stuff you can usually get.
The only legendary weapon I can deal with is the thunder lance, the model is still terrible and absolute crap but atleast the stats are balanced in regard to other weapons of the same kind.
Well, if that wasn't quite the big tangent, but I could go on and on and don't even let me get started on Cavalry being utterly useless, the so called fix changed the inconsistent as hell HP treshold from 95% to like 80%, I'm as useless as ever, let's disregard the fact that there's like 90% infantry map for 10% cavalry map, disregard the fact that cavalry is useless on foot and even on horseback does mediocre damage due to 2 power strike and no athletics on foot, apply nerf to cavalry, rejoice at the alienation of players.
