    Horses give players an advantage by getting you from place to place faster (usually) and allows you to use the horse's stamina instead of yours. They had to have a reasonable penalty for getting knocked off your horse.

    If you sprint your horse to exhaustion (hence, burning up all their stamina), then your going to get knocked off on 1 hit. I feel this is completely fair, in my opinion.

    Sitting on your butt from 100% to 10% HP while spamming CC break is way to harsh of a penalty.

    Also I had half stam bar on my horse. As they hit you it drains it and a bow user can drain it in less than a second with 2 attacks that pretty much fire at the same time.

    Jesus you ppl are missing the point. The OP seems to be fine with the ability to be knocked off the horse, it's the CC break....that is SUPPOSED to clear that "knockdown" so you immediately stand up and have some immunity. As it is right now the CC breaker works like 5% of the time in normal situations and even less when you're knocked off your horse.

    you cant use the normal CC break all players have to get up fast, like you can if a npc knocks your butt into the ground?

    Whats the point of raising a horses stamina when if a stamina bar is at zero you still get knocked off regardless of how many feeds you invest into it? Plus on top of that your horse goes the same speed whether it has stamina or not, so why should we not just put all feeds into speed/carry?
    I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."

    As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
    The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
    but my delight will last and you will respawn.
    My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.

    The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
    Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
    Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
    A miserable, loud deuced fool.

    With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
    All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
    From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
    but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.

    I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.

    Perhaps you should go back to 1st grade English class. It works, but it's not reliable at all. Probably does it around 3% of the time. This is why I said above that it needs to be fixed. When that sinks in, I have a lollipop for you.

    LOL, pvp so much fun, but soooo frustrating to the casual player, that's me :)

    Can't tell you how many different game's I have played pvp in and don't get my arse kicked, I would say all of them.

    OP complaining he can't break cc when knocked off horse, bummer. Would he be ok with being 1 shot off his horse instead? In fact I think the sight of that would be awesome.

    If you've never been thrown off the back of a horse IRL (why, doesn't matter) believe you me, 99.99% of the time it's gonna ring your bell, leaving you sitting on your butt and have you looking like your stuck on stupid for a minute or two. :o

    Have not bought a horse and never will due to how susceptible they are to anyone sneak attacking.

    I do run at sprint speed in sneak though so maybe i am biased.

    Is that before or after I summon a spear of light from my hands IRL?
