The horse speed was awesome when S2 came out. I’d like to see the 
back in the horse movement speed. Its disappointing because the slow moving horse breaks immersion. Horses should be scared of demons, so why is it only sauntering around like nothing is going on.
Make horses great again!!
A horse is a horse of course
I’ve seen a few others complain about this, but I just can’t feel that the horse was slowed back.
100% it was. I mean i know ppl complained about the lightning speed of the horse when S2 launched. Tbh i dont know why anyone complained because of how awesome it was.
My tin foil hat tells me they were playing on a 
and the 
baked it 
No…
Current speed feels just fine.
How? Its so slow… it feels like the first tank created in ww1 that moved 5 km/hr
No, the problem with the lightning speed came from having to have the cursor all the way out at the edge of the screen making the horse insanely difficult to turn with and/or problematic for people with RSI. Now that the cursor can be much closer the speed kind of needs to be returned to what it was before.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but that’s an overstatement. 
IDK I just don’t feel the difference that much.
Right at the beginning of season 2 it was fast and didnt get caught on anything (the fix they said happened). Then about 3 weeks in, it slowed down and now gets caught on stuff.
Be nice if it would go back to the way it was, but more than the speed, i would like to not get caught on stuff.
There’s a difference. A rather noticeable one. Previously there was slow, fast, and they’ve gone to Plaid! when using the three sprints. Now speed caps at “fast” and anything past two sprints at a time is wasted.
Oh, and yes, the horse now gets caught on literally everything. I think it became magnetic and the ground metallic after the change. 
There is also an issue that came about after the change wherein zone changes will literally stop your horse and make you bounce backward. You see this all the time traveling at sprint speed into world bosses’ arenas.
RSI is no joke but they can still bring faster speeds closer to the hourses center.
I thought i was the only one getting caught on pebbles. Its not as bad as it once was but I have noticed it from time to time.
I wana be rikky bobby and go fast
I wana be jonny bravo and ask people “do you want to see me ride a horse really fast”
Ok maybe a paperweight is an overstatement but there has been a huge difference. I dont know if there were differences between mouse/controller but i am using mouse/keyboard.
Oh, and I dunno what happened, but after the second to last hotfix, mounting up almost always results in the horse being sluggish for the first few seconds, like it’s having trouble syncing with the server and it feels like you’re a drunkard doing drifts on a snowmobile.
Agreed. It isnt as bad as it was but still happens frequently.
Also, did you notice any lag if you get on the horse and boost right away? Almost like stepping on the gas and not going anywhere for a second. Like it isnt lag Per se, but there is a delay.
Allright. I gave it a go. So the base speed, seems like it dosen’t add much when my cursor is far enough, so that seems slower. The sprint seems to be stacking, the first charge doesn’t give much, but while sprintig burning another charge suddenly gives a big burst of speed. Idk if that’s anything new.
There used to be three speeds of sprint as noted above. There are only two now. If you stack more than two sprints, you are wasting a sprint charge. It’s pointless to have more than two rolling stacks at any time.
Ya. I was typing my response when you posted that.
Glad i am not the only one who noticed that.
So nothing new. Well it could have been a ninja nerf, or something bugged/broke the new horse movement speed values/mechanics. So it does need to be looked at by the devs.
No, there used to be trot, gallop (sprint x1), racing (sprint x2), and as noted, They’ve gone to Plaid! (sprint x3). It now caps at sprint x2.
Yeah okay got it. That’s what I’m trying to say, that stacking speed is not new.
I dont like wearing tin foil hats but it is noticeably slower then when s2 first released.
And the annoying thing is this wasnt in any patch notes or at least i dont recall ever seeing it.
