remove horses for a day on epic servers

[Hexproof 496]

remove horses for a day and lets see how much more fun we have

 

I remember back in the good old days when they never existed there was pvp every day

 

its way to hard to do anything on epic servers because you just get a bunch of hell horses on ur ass with 3 other horses following the guy

[Sklo:D 2265]

Nonsense

 

-1

[Hexproof 496]

you obviously didn't play back then

[Sklo:D 2265]

oh yeah I played back in  2008 but we have mounts for some reason now. Alone the idea to implement a gamecode which removes all horses is not good. It would be a time wasting code... Just for one day

imo more fun without horses/gives armor choices/swapping

[Hexproof 496]

lets make it a week heck lets just remove them permanently!

-1 For a joke suggestion. April fools is still a few months away.

[BrQQQ 2854]

I think it would actually be pretty cool to play one day without horses on Elevation

[Archaed 2327]

It would be quite fun, but sadly, i dont think theres any safe way to remove them and return them, a little too much coding

[Busted 289]

Wouldn't need to remove them. Just up the requirement to ride them for a day so nobody can mount them. Much easier and achieves the same pointless thing.

@ Arronicus I don't joke

[Rushy 48]

hella long walk to get off some of the big deeds, would be painful, but would need to move them all alot closer to  the steppe anyway if such a big change, keep dreaming i guess.

Remove the CR bonus of using a horse, or better give a CR penalty for fighting from horseback.

That would be way more interresting to try. Horses will retain their ability to transport, but in combat you are better off on foot.

 

Keep realism out of this, balance goes first.

And for freedomers: I agree entirely, changes like these should only apply to epic and not you guys, and vica versa

Realisticly you would recieve a combat penalty for riding a horse anyways.

For one day I don't think you would even notice it happened, log in and do some crafting and wow look the day is gone and I never even needed to leave deed

No you would not.

[merce 135]

No you would not.

So, let's say a horseman with a shield and sword versus someone on foot with shield and sword, the one on foot could easily move out of reach of the horseman meanwhile having a reach on him. You're thinking about if they charge which a polearm or spear could easily stop, i'm talking about how it is in wurm mechanics where you just stand there.

 

Have you ever chased a naked person in wurm for example, they could easily outmanuever you by going backwards so you would have to turn around to chase him.

Yes but at the same time, if you charge someone on foot from a horse at full speed, you SHOULD be able to insta-kill them by lopping their head off or some such, as that's realistic. Horse combat. In reality, knights didnt stop their horses to fight infantry, they kept riding and lopping heads and slicing arms and whatever they could do while maintaining the speed advantage.

DO EEEETTTT!!!

 

For a Week though!!

[Archaed 2327]

Dont forget that warhorses were also trained to bite and kick, being on horseback was a great advantage, thus knights and cavalry being known as the elites

[Cornchips 3037]

I trained my horse to peck like a chicken in fights

[Mark 47]

Historically, horseback fighters did have the advantage due to height. Its more difficult for an attacker to attack upwards but easier to attack downwards.

Realistically, riding a horse provided a devastating combat advantage in pre-gunpowder era warfare. The CR bonus in wurm is but a fraction of the real advantage. There is height, speed, momentum, trampling, and then on top of it, having a giant muscular fleshy shield between you and the guy on the ground. Cavalry were feared.

Amke balance not blabla

[Hexproof 496]

there is a reason why almost every other mmo in the world doesn't allow mount combat... cause its op
