What the hell happened to horses?

[♢︎♢︎♢︎♢]

Do I remember wrong or something? In 64 there used to be horse phases?

[Tactical Drongo]

nope, some of the maps are playable on 40 players, there are horses

[DaysShadow]

There definitely were 64 player maps with horse phases (limited to like 5 players per side) as I solely play 64 player queue but now that you mention it, they have gone since, yes...

Wonder why. 64 player mounted queues seem to have a problem on consoles lacking performance but those 5 or whatever horsies added shouldn't have that much of an impact to remove them completely.

[Rocketman]

They split the horses from the main mixed mode as many players had a problem with them. Instead we have the Mounted gamemode for horses, which is limited to 52 players

[Nicoy]

They are broken af

thank the devs they removed them from 64 player. horses are the only thing i've ever complained about in both chiv and chiv 2. they don't belong in the main game modes and ruin the game. horses need to be in a special mode where everyone is on horses otherwise it's completely imbalanced to be on a horse vs one on foot. wait until you go up against a discord team using horse archers and let me know how much fun you have while you're on foot. i only play 64 player now because it's the mode without horses. the one like chivalry. the way the game has always been. there are also an inadequate number of ways to counter horses while on foot. in real life you can run into a building to avoid a horse but in chiv if you do that your team will lose the objectives and the game. they're just too imbalanced to have in the main modes. even if horses were severely nerfed i thin they don't belong in the main modes.

I didn't see any problem with horses. Riders were easy to take out (or the horse) and most people on horses are garbage anyway.

There have never been 64p modes with horses, horses are available in special 52 person game modes (or joust duels) through the Mounted Warfare queue.

This is due to there being up to 12 possible horse spawns and each one actually occupies a player slot.

i dont care what this mod says there was at one point 64p mode with horses, i remember playing the normal sieges mode and saw players with horses

There were horses on most maps if I remember correctly. There was a horse phase when the cavalry could be used. You were asked if you wanted to play cavalry.

Not in the 64p mode, but otherwise you're mostly correct. As per the Tenosia launch FAQ 64p mode can't have horses due to performance issues.[chivalry2.com]

Previously the smaller gamemode had them but some people wanted them to be in a separate queue from the normal smaller gamemode, which is what lead to the mounted queue (52p) and the 40p queue being different queues as of 2.6[chivalry2.com]

This same patch also added the horse version of Rudhelm to the beginner/training mode queue (10 human players with up to 40 bots, making 50 players total)

I miss them. It made the game more like medieval warfare. Instead of a stampede by the attacking team. I really wish Chivalry would start to become more balanced and unpredictable. It has such potential. I was just watching a video about Assassin's Creed Odyssey and loving the combat and customisation of costumes in it. I am drifting off topic though.

Well the mounted warfare queue will always be there for you m'lord. I play it when I want some wacky horse shenanigans.

[Echo]

it was 50 players or something but they were in the 64 player queue but they love ruining every good thing they have. I wonder how good the game could get if they didn't have to cater for console performance

[𝐎ᥣᑯ𝐑𝖾ᑯ𝐅ⱺ𝗑]

The changes are encouraging. Horses back in 40 player lobbies. Hooray! Mounted warfare will be cut.

[Rworqx]

I hope the 40P lobbies in serverbrowser remain horseless.

Its not really i hate horses. I hate the fact that they are spammed in huge amounts and if one dies it almost instantly gets replaced.
