now that's how you take down mounteds as a mage. textbook magery then again there are people who will complain no matter what even when that last mounted escaped with low hp it was cause you and your group were hitting eachother you took hits from teammates as well but still you guys were fighting mounteds in the open field no problem cause you guys knew how to combat a mounted which is the point Rhodri made about know your enemy and not knowing it will cause problems. But then there are people who say oh not everyone is this skilled or has this group etc to deal with mounteds well then learn the fucking game and make a proper group before going out into wilderness.
Mounted
- Thread starter Maxstor
- Start date
how about allowing armors 50kg plus on mounteds why not a rolling tank. why not fix spear stance and dismount mechanics with spears problem solved.
Mounted would be insanly op vs everything else and thats okay.
they would be fucked from archers and spear carriers problem solved, 100 Realism no bullshit.
I hope sv handles it like that. and if dismounted with 50kg armor good luck surviving.

Fixing spear stance is another good way of helping the balance and adds other ways of gameplay I totally agree with that and the spear stance should do massive damage to horses if not outright kill a full galloping horse and if it hits player it should hit hard calculating the speed and weapon and weapon skill into it. but I think you were joking about your first sentence about 50kg plus mounteds but keep in mind the cavalry units were heavily armored and their horses were also armored to charge with weight. So I think if they add spear stance and more arrow dmg to horses and couple that with other damage types that can also dismount if hit hard enough I think they should also add more knockdown damage calculating the character+horse weight and speed in impact and that would also be a good change imo but it needs to be done as a total not just one part.
which one?
Hopefully not this one:
?
i remember that was mounted combat when i started the game. Got oneshot everywhere i go
Well they are RPK xD but they were all using top tier weapons and you can see Rhias getting 2-3 clean hits on the mount, still takes alot longer than it should...
But anyways Im not disputing that there arent ways to deal with mounteds. But the counters are more like pokemon where you either have the right build like Tek that can destroy mounteds or you stand no chance. This is pretty boring IMO
If we want a better system there should be compromises from both sides. Dismounts where SV way of countering super horses, instead of looking at the main issue which is breeding. But stuns dont really have a place in a skill based like MO, they fit better in tab target games like WoW. So id say reduce dismount timer to like 1 second while finally nerfing breeding into a system where you have choices instead of 1 horse to rule them all. Breeding wasnt even like that IRL, there wasnt a war horse that was the fastest, could travel long distances and also carry a full armored knight on their back.
Agreed. I think breeding need a rework in some ways: 1. The tamed animals will have lower stats and it will be difficult and more rare to find good stats in the wilderness. 2. The system become way more costly and more complex so it's way harder to get good mounts and ultra rare to find exeptionally high stated breeds. 3. There is now a system that the new born baby will inherit part of the parents stats(say a desert horse and bull horse breed will result in either a fast horse with a bit of strength or a strong horse with a bit of speed or some speed and some strength instead of the old system where it would inherit all the good stats of both worlds) 4. There is a small chance(1-5%) the baby will be exceptional which will inherit most of the stats of both parents(This should give chance to have those strong warhorses but there won't be many of em running around only a few and that is if people would wanna risk taking em to combat which should reduce their chance of appearance in combat. Note: The exceptional mounts if bred with other mounts will still have normal babies or then again 1-5% chance to have exceptional baby which will push the mount to ultra ultra rare spot to like maybe have 1-2 of these in entire nave which I think should be cool and won't be seen in combat most probably. But there will be hard cap on max stats and only 1 stat should go over the max stat limit. It should be imo animal based which stat will be over the max if it even reaches there and that is for Horses=Speed Molvas=Strength Lyks=Stamina.
I always felt like breeding was impossible to catch up to if you weren't there when it was released. Heres to hoping they make some changes to that or make some sort of catchup mechanic.
I don't get your argument. Why can't you just buy good mounts from the broker and use them as your own breeding pair? Isn't that your "catchup mechanic"?
idk i guess broker horses may have been good enough for you, but I know my boys were rockin some insane in house breeds.
That depends if you buy a 300g horse, or a 30 gold horse at the broker...
I was breeding Lyks and they were top tier stats. To start with you basically need one with high end stats, and then you can use "decent" ones to breed in certain stats. Took some patience but you can get offsprings with high end stats + the certain stats you wanted to breed in.
Now look for another breeder and trade a lvl 25 mount against another one with similar stats. This decreased the inbreed chance massively. Basically win-win for both breeders.
Agree, got my first pairs from a guildie. Years later and to many mounts to count I bought 1 with similar stats to my last one and boom hordes more top of the line mounts.
There was always good breeds on some broker but was expensive as you say.
we need also breedable springboks and stuff, serioisly no joke. Breeding some badass rabbits why not.
would add more variety in the game if normal pets and stuff have also mor estats and are breedable.

Horses exploding when they touch water should be a feature in Mortal 2. It was a nice feature in early MO beta. Bring back exploding horses!
Pretty much all the systems that were stupidly automated in these regards should be manual options in MO2. Give people something to do and work on and not just wait for timers.
Well, the farms/breeding pens/stable features etc. in MO were stupid. Being able to have an actual breeding pen and farms in which you can herd and breed animals and take care of them in the actual world would be nice. Being able to breed pretty much any animal could make actual farming and live stock possible so you could provide quality grains and meat. Dem grass fed beef burgers.

You mean the one riddled with RNG mechanics and dicerolls? No thanks, that was pretty trash.
SV will implement it at some point in beta and we can test it and hopefully the feedback will help balance it. When the game launches you will have a mad dash to get mounts and mounted builds up and likely everyone will have a mount for mobility alone. Riding will probably be secondary (don’t quote me on that). The most important thing is that it should have drawbacks that are not purely monetary.
I thought that was what Bull Horses were for-- the obese, and the Thursar?Yes obese players should not be allowed to mount in the first place, like Wyman Manderly in GoT nicknamed "Lord Too-Fat-to-Sit-a-Horse"
