so are you guys missing horse combat?

Damn man, I forgot about that death. That was damn cancer, had my horse accidentally shot by friendly fire and just got straight destroyed. I don't miss horses in combat at all, movement speed gives too much of an advantage in this game.

Here, I'll throw in another horse video for the thread.

Pretty much this

It's total AIDS in PvP.
I could see people missing it if it were nerfed/removed from PvM though

I think movement speed advantage could be balanced bz giving horses limited acceleration and turning speed.

It doesn't need to be an absolute yes/no horses in combat.
A system could be implemented so that horses have pvp advantage in flat terrains but are useless in all others.

All mountain foragers just collectively tightened their butt cheeks

I meant pvp in others terrains, but climbing mountains with horses sounds silly too.

Salem’s bull rush , but on a horse with a boar spear. Just make it to where the boat spear breaks on impact, and fix the belt system so you can’t carry 20 of them.

Then there could be a high couch and low couch to target the horse or the rider. Hell, that opens up new tournament ideas too. Wooden lance for jousting events! Could work in pvp as well. Wooden lance for straight up dismounting a rider and making the horse rear when hit or run away a short distance when it’s rider is dismounted. Making taking both types into pvp viable.

Idk just some fun ideas
