Had my first mounted combat kill

And I LOVED it.
Sure, it takes time get used to running back and forth, and this was all melee. And sure, you gotta figure out where it indicates a hit.
But I am honestly so glad they added it in. Feels good to run people down.

Yeah I've killed tons of people so far. Mounted combat works pretty well in my opinion.

The learning curve for me is in that you don't really aim your swings, they just always fall at a certain arc relative to your mount. Which is fine and to a degree makes sense, just makes lining up some attacks tricky.

Yeah, that's what I've noticed.
It didn't think it was too bad, but you just had to get into the groove. But once it gets set, at least one on one, it was pretty efficient.

Yeah after a few practice banding kills, horse combat is no biggie

Archery on horseback seems broken for me. My arrows hit nowhere near my crosshair.

Probably because of momentum if you are talking about shooting on the move.

I haven't got to try the mounted combat yet, but it sounds like 'tis pretty cool/fun.

Yeah it seems that way to me too, and I was standing still. Also I tried shooting a few mudcrabs and it was almost like there was an auto-aim so if you were a little off it would still go straight into the enemy. It's a bit wierd, but it's more fun than having to get off your horse to get rid of that bandit thats chasing you.

My problem is that my crosshair disappears during mounted combat altogether, therefore archery is extremely difficult given the trhird person camera angle. Is anybody else having this issue with missing crosshair and/or any idea how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
