Dismounting Cavalry is Ridiculous

[Little Scottish Girl]

I'm sick of lancers charging head on at me, only to be outfought by my bayonet, then being granted a couple of seconds god mode while they automatically step off their horse just to engage me in melee

I thought this game was supposed to be remotely realistic. How is it possible for someone to be stabbed by a bayonet while charging full speed, then randomly dismounting on thin air as their horse keeps running.. Whilst this is happening, it's impossible to stab them, the bayonet goes straight though them.

This didn't happen in M&M so why does it in M&B:NW?

If cav aren't skilled enough to kill infantry on horseback, they shouldn't be granted a second wind. they should die like they deserve to.

It's an new animation of knocking the rider off of their horse, which happened quite often I would think, obviously the animation isn't perfect.

And the couple of second's god mode, is probably something to give them a second chance, because people will start to complain that they get hit off of their horse and had no chance to recover from it. Like it does when you actually kill the horse, the rider fall's off, and sometimes you kill him, other times he get's up in time to block your attack.

I play as Cav. Yesterday I went back to my roots and played one round as infantry to see how easy it was. Battle mode- ran out into open ground so Cav players would engage me, 4 Dragoons charged at me, firing at a gallop all missed me. I shot the lead dragoon killing him. Bayoneted the 2nd dragoon and the 3rd and both there horses in just two clicks of the mouse(Killing both man and horse)within a second of each-other. Bayoneted the 4th horse then the dragoon when he was down. The whole thing lasted about 4 seconds. Easiest kills I have got for a while.
I think what your talking about must be a bug I have seen it before where the rider is hit or the horse and the horse just trots away and the rider dismounts. Not fair if you cannot attack him.

That's exactly what happens. I heard it's intended, but I really don't see how. It's not dismounting the cav by killing the horse since the horse runs away. It has to either be knocking the rider off the horse, which is impossible since the animations wouldn't work for that. or just a bug.

I hope it's the latter and it gets fixed because it happens way too often to me. It's hard to deal with when you're fighting off a horde of cav which are surrounding you

[Maboobs]

Worry not, it's a bug.

made my day.

Btw, the game isn't realistic at all. Otherwise you would die if you try to stab a charging horse from the front.

The chances of cav being dismounted when shot are actually a server setting too.

Hmmm It might be and idea to make like a chance of death by fall like in the deluge it has gun misfired

What I hate more are the cav noobs who don't have the good sense to leave a good duel well enough alone. I've gotten tked more by cav "trying to help."

Best one happened to me this morning, this noob ran in between the duel and I tk his horse. I recover get my guy and get tked from behind by the noob while calling me a nasty name.

There are good cav out there. Make no mistake, if any of you have seen Happysword you know what I mean. But the troop type is overpopulated by people who have no clue what they are doing.

I agree but if you want to duel go to a duel server so they dont tk....
Calling you nasty names: Report to admin thats all
Tk: Duel server

Plus Tk's are something that im used to it happens even i do it. Do remember we were noobs once too.

[IHA_PVT_Mack]

Point taken and very fair. I'm just saying in a situation like that you have a higher rate to tk than you do to help.

[BetaKnight]

Alright Have fun

I think they should just bother to make an animation for it, like in the deluge. I get an insane satisfaction when in the Deluge you shoot a guy off his horse and he goes flying back.

I do believe there is a new deathanimation for the cavalry where the guy goes flinging forward at a increased speed. Looks very good and satisfying, even when you are the one to be flying

Saw this happen to a Austrian Hussar or Uhlan with the worst luck ever fighting ontop of the bigger forts wall, his body flew from the back of his horse over the edge of the wall and landed horribly on the floor of the inner courtyard followed by his horses corpse.

Ragdoll physics and the death animations in this thing!
