looking for a clean dismount

Darkestnght

This is probably a stupid question but how do you dismount. I have tried several different ways of doing this and I always end up in blocking animation or executing a skill. Even quick dismount puts me in a blocking animation . I'd like a clean dismount. Anyone know of a way?

This is actually a bug that was introduced in Homestead.

If you're using a controller, you will receive notifications when starting a new character that you can quickly dismount by pressing the shoulder buttons. This used to work just fine, and no animation would play when executed. That is unfortunately not how it works anymore, and you end up either blocking, or attacking.

Whatever the case, if they're not going to restore this feature, they need to get rid of those pop ups telling new players how to dismount, because it's obviously not working as intended anymore

I quickly enter and exit sneak mode. It works well for me on ps4.

The same key that makes you mount? I am confused by the question. Is that not a "clean" dismount? I never enter any animations doing it that way.

Use a Keyboard and Mouse?......

You might try fiddling with your controller repeat rate, if that is something you can adjust. I know some people on the PC who use a controller and they seem to be able to dismount without a bunch of weirdness. But we maybe able to adjust things on the PC that can't be adjusted on the consoles.

However any skill other than Rapid Maneuvers should dismount you, so maybe a activate a skill that is not too obtrusive. Ware if you have Attack Innocents on.

Well you dismount by pressing the mount button again, but the animation is lacklustre, so doing a roll dodge off of a horse is my favourite.

I have tried this but the map pops up instead of me dismounting.

I watched a little gymnastics at a bar while the Olympics were on...i heard the announcers mention clean dismounts. Maybe google that...

You are xbox? I play on pc but with an Xbox game pad and a single press opens the map, a long press causes mount. Dismount with another long press.

It's a problem on console. I killed a few NPCs by dismounting (I find it funny it still says hit RT or LT to dismount)

I have been using block, however roll dodge sounds like a wonderful idea.

Oreyn_Bearclaw

Yeah, this is unfortunately a victim of them re-prioritizing some animations. Block used to be the simplest way and how I did it since launch. No you are basically put in block for about a second, which can be really annoying if say you are being chased into a keep and want to dismount and use the door. I frankly wish they would take a look at that.

A light attack does the trick, but careful in town. You can also press H, but for some reason that seems slower than it should be. I haven't tried the dodge roll mentioned above, will have to do that tonight.

Darkestnght

Thanks for the input all. I'll try the roll dodge thing and see how that works.

Blocking used to be clean but the latest update added the block animation.

On Xbox...just hold the mount button
It mounts and unmounts

Other reasonable options are to interact with an item that requires a dismount, so while I ride around gathering mats.....I just hit A on the node

Same applies to doors

Hold the button instead of just pressing it and you should dismount instead of bringing up the map
