Mounts bugged in Ring of Champions

The animation of the mounts ridden in the Ring of Champions at the Argent Tournament Grounds keeps freezing, legs just stop moving, while in the ring, mainly during joists but also sometimes upon just entering the ring. Did it on a Stabled Stormwind Steed and a Stabled Ironforge Ram, same result.

It really breaks the fantasy and ruins the experience.

Also, hits either aren’t working consistently or they are significantly weaker than when I did this in June/July 2020 as it takes three to four times the amount of hits now to defeat an opponent. This is not a complaint as challenging is good but I mentioned it because maybe the two are connected.

Please fix ASAP as this joust is amazing play. Personally, I think it is the most entertaining and innovative daily in the game.

ETA: I discovered what action it is connected to and posted it below under Vallenheart because I has a disagreement with your posting system.

This isn’t just happening on the Alliance mounts. I just watched a Horde Stabled Orgrimmar Wolf’s animations also freezing in the Ring of Champions at the Argent Tournament Grounds.

I did some playing around to see what was triggering it because I really want to bring another character thru this experience so I did some playing around with it and discovered:

  1. The horse’s animation freezing up occurs when ‘Defend’ is pressed (and the shields pop up).

  2. The freezing continues for 4-5 seconds.

  3. Location doesn’t matter. It also occurs when just riding around the grounds.

Please fix!!!

Dear Blizzard
Thank you for fixing this.
Sincerely, Me
