Fix the mount. It sucks!

Am I the only one? It’s so glitchy and clunky, it blows.

It leaves a lot to be desired. Pretty sure they just threw mounts into the game to try and sell more cosmetics.

The world is pretty small once you get all the way points and the mounts aren’t really that useful unless you want to run around collecting herbs.

mounts are so slow in town too
people were saying oh just wait! with mounts it will be better in town. yeah right
my boots that give speed on dodge are better for town then the mount :person_facepalming:

I honestly don’t see the point of it.

not the best implementation.
only 3 charges and you cant see how long the current duration is.
and a 10sec cooldown to remount. ups pressed rightclick → wait 10sec.

and imo all mounts look awful and the armour isnt worth 1€
open the shop with medium textures. that looks right out of 2010.

Omg I just got the mount and it is slower than molasses. I seriously think my character runs faster than it does. This is so disappointing with how big these zones are.

Incase anyone isn’t aware, the mount speed (on PC, atleast, not sure how it works on consoles) is tied to where your cursor is, so the further away it is the faster you move, that should help with some of the issues

Outside of that, it is very clunky and often gets caught on invisible terrain or can’t navigate through obstacles that you can on foot, but it’s still a massive improvement for the open world compared to walking around on foot, just needs the hitbox shrunk so you don’t constantly get caught on nothing

Personally I don’t get why the mount needs abilities instead of just going one speed. WoW got mounts right almost two decades ago…

Is very annoying to use, I rather walk

Seems fine to me. As a Necro it’s kind of nice it packs away the minions while you’re on it.

Love the game as a whole so far, but yeah, the mount is just hot garbage.

Yeah, it’s faster, but only in a straight line, and only if there’s not even one pixel to get hung up on, because it’ll 100% get hung up on anything. Not to mention that it’s turn radius is junk.

If they’d just give it some grace as far as getting hung on things, maybe kinda autocorrecting itself, it would be usable. If they’d give it some storage for when you’re out exploring, that would make it amazing. But as it is, I pretty much don’t use it unless I’m just going in a straight line.

Mount seems like it is stuck in first gear 1/2 the time - legs kicking but barely moving. Eventually gains traction and speeds up, but dayum!

When you factor in all the random bits of terrain the horse gets stuck on, the invisible walls it can’t run through, the rubberbanding and all the other issues the horse has, running on foot on my rogue is faster with all my movement speed tools.

the speed of horse is determinate from where your mouse is. is it nearby its slow is it farther away ist “faster”

There’s some kind of issue going on randomly when mounting that makes it feel like you’re stuck in mud.

My fix is just to wiggle the direction I’m going, back and forth, until the horse moves at the normal speed.

It seems to happen more when you’re moving and mounting up.

I believe that the only reason that mounts are in the game is to sell cosmetics.

Your mind equals blown, I know.

I hate the horse so much. Thankfully I’m a rogue and my build is based off moving speed and it’s way better to traverse the world than the stupid mount. My only wish was that the Ashava trophy could be strapped to my back so I can gloat.

Another small problem. If you move with your mouse over the skillbar, the horse will stop following the mouse. Its logical but Blizzard should change that. Like to ignore the bar while you hold the mouse button.
