[Suggestion] Cavalry Lance Balance

[Corvid]

WTH, are you playing against people who charge off to the enemy spawn at the start of the round in Battle?  As a foot unit, you aren't going to be killing a cavalry player if they know not to make stupid mistakes. Most of the experienced cavalry players range anywhere from 4:1 k/d to 30:1 k/d, every round.

I play against the same people you play against.  Give me a war spear (usually) or pike, and its horse after horse for dinner. 

Agreed... Give me any polearm and I'll keep handing you dead riders.

Pardon me, but what is your username in the beta?  Because if you're the person I'm thinking of, I've never seen you anywhere but on the bottom of the scoreboard.

I'm a quite decent player with a war spear or pike if I do say myself, and even I have a hard time fighting several horsemen at once.  It's one thing to say that you can take on cavalry provided they charge you straight-on one at a time, but it's far too easy to get stabbed in the back in a skirmish of any scale, particularly since you can't hear them coming if they're behind you.  In any given match involving reasonably skilled players, the top three score slots will always be occupied by cavalry, except on Village.  To me that screams that there's an imbalance here.

Choosing server... Faction: Nords... Troop: Veteran yey!... Buy equipment: Boar spear... ??? wtf, where is my boar spear, any spear? No?
The heck with it, I'll just take off my shirt and kill them with my thumb.

It's so easy to just ignore the pikemen waiting for me and get after somebody else.
Or just run in a circle, pikeman loses focus on me, I charge again,  stab pikeman in the back, he dies.
Archers zooming and aiming are the easiest targets.
I'll blame most of the problems on the ninja silent horses though.

Exactly my point in the above post.  Thank you!
