    I can't believe how much different the ability to overcome tiny little bumps in terrain differs between characters, and especially between guar/camel (terrible) versus horses/senche mounts (not quite as bad).

    Confirmed bug by Gina in the Alliance war section:
    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/2795470/#Comment_2795470

    We have a few additional updates to share after further investigation:
    1. Running speed seems slower
      • We looked into this more, and did find the same issue that you all are seeing. We don't yet have a cause, but are continuing to dig into it!

    How does one introduce a bug that reduces run speed, without even touching run speed on purpose? This much be the most spaghettied code I've ever seen.

    I have noticed the slower walking speed as well. At first i noticed it when stealth walking and thought i lost my vampire buff. Now i constantly notice it and it drives me bonkers.

    Also horse stamina bug is annoying because you are still losing stamina even though it constantly pops to full. And to see where you're at you have to stop sprinting for a sec and start sprinting again but then you lose 2 bars when you start up again.

    Nice to see confirmation of what we all knew but why is it in alliance war section? This bug is game wide. And it doesn't seem slower, it is slower.

    Here is another vid clip for the devs if they don't know what we're talking about. It is from before Thieves Guild and shows me aware that I need to avoid the raised surfaces, but I fail to clear the second surface and the horse slows.

    And here's the new one out of Wrothgar, the "stick to what you were trying to jump over and slowly slide down" bug. OK in the video I jump on something I clearly can't go over, but I am always bouncing off of stuff and have never stuck to them before, so this is an exaggerated example.

    Those 2 bugs are annoying as hell. Not game breaking bugs in the slightest, just ones that grinds my gears.

    There is no damn reason why major expedition should be reduced at all! That is some *** especially with classes that have no mobility.

    You're correct in that it's not specific to PvP; just posted there since it was in a big compilation list that we were working through. As mentioned in that thread, we haven't yet tracked down the cause of the issue, but are continuing to investigate and will let you guys know when we have a fix in the works.

    AH HA! I knew there was something odd going on. Had a little horse race around the top of Chalman last night while we were waiting for the tick and it was confusing the hell out of me as to WHY I was going so sloooowwwwlyyy. Then I started jumping over the "stairs" along the top and my speed was back to normal.

    I won the race of course. :wink:

    Don't know if this will help.

    On a Magical Nightblade...Go Sneak mode; Cast Mirage (the non speed morph of double take), then cast Shadow Cloak...

    For some reason it'll fix speed back to normal.

    Nothing in patch notes about this, and I can't see a known issues anywhere with it mentioned. How long is your "investigation" going to take and when do you plan to communicate anything else about this issue to your players? It is 3 weeks now since Thieves Guild launched and brought this issue yet the only dev response has been to a bug post in Alliance War section and Gina's response to that here.
    Seems to me that both normal running speed and jumping height were purposely nerfed with Thieves Guild and looks like another problem ZOS is trying to sweep under the carpet.

    Sry to necro this thread but I thought it would be better than starting a new one.

    As far as I can see there is nothing in the Dark Brotherhood patch notes about this.

    Makes me uncomfortable...

    Has not been fixed and has not been acknowledged since Gina's post in Alliance War section bug compendium compiled by @HoloYoitsu


    4. Base non sprint run speed is slower than before. Video proof below.
    [Status: fix incoming in DB]
    We are aware and it's not intended. We're still working on a fix for it, which will likely be included in the next major update.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno
    Any update on this please ?

    What fix are you talking about?
    Normal running speed has been nerfed (bugged) by about 12/15% since the launch of Thieves Guild. It was acknowledged as a bug in mid march and we have heard nothing since. Please link your source of this "fix" as it seems to have escaped the rest of us.

    See, I don't get why they messed with major expedition in the first place. They should have left it at 40% which made everything work fine before. Now we have slower....everything lol

    It's in the patch notes. And I have personally experienced the fix.
