If i had bothered looking i would have found this thread instead of making a seperate one about lances lol
I find it pretty annoying that my lance barely extends beyond the horses head making it utterly pointless as it negates one of the biggest strengths of the lance its reach.
Down to the fact that it is being held centre mass which is completely wrong.
Personally I think couched lances are perfectly fine, if their range were to be extended and their massive damage kept as-is, they would become ridiculously overpowered.
Cavalry already reign supreme in Captain and Skirmish modes. Couched lances take some kind of skill and thought to use now as you can't blindly charge into spearmen, you have to catch them unaware or hit them at an angle.
So long as you don't go blindly charging into spearmen from the front, the lance is by far the best weapon in the game as it very reliably one-hit kills everything.
Hell, I think couched lances should have a durability meter similar to that of shields simply because of how strong they are. Since cavalry can just do hit and runs with it indefinitely. It's so ridiculously overpowered that one Vlandia Knight/Khuzait Lancer player in Captain mode can single-handedly kill half the enemy team.
And then look at Skirmish where lancers are readily available from the get-go. Those that are decently skilled with them will very, very easily get 4+ kills in the first round.
So no, I very strongly disagree that their range needs to be buffed.
That said, that's for MP. As for SP I don't really know nor care since there's so much combined arms going on anyway.
