This change to mounts is just stupid

In a patch full of bad decisions, I just want to highlight this gem.

"Like on-foot sprint, mounts will now stop sprinting when their Stamina is fully drained. However, we’ve decreased the Stamina cost of mounted sprint and greatly increased both base Stamina and base Recovery for mounts."

I am just tired of all of this. Just really tired.

    This change is absurd. I don't do a lot of PVP in Cyrodiil, but this will make travel in that zone even more aggravating than it already is.

    On what occasion do you actually run out of 60/60 stamina though?

    It takes me a full third of the Cyrodiil map (with rapids) to run out of stamina at full 60 stamina. That’s more than enough to get anywhere you need to go.

    Unless of course you have to goto a 1/2 of the map at which point it is not enough.

    "However, we’ve decreased the Stamina cost of mounted sprint and greatly increased both base Stamina and base Recovery for mounts."

    It might be.

    I actually thought this was how it was supposed to function when I first started playing.

    Same. At first I thought it was a bug when my mount, Chicken Senchilada, ran out of stam yet kept sprinting. Felt like cheating. Glad it's now "in line" with how stamina's supposed to work.

    No. Stamina is what upgrades your mounts armor. When you take damage while mounted the stamina decreases.

    I like it! It's good for my immersion!




    ... Well, looks like I'll be running on foot more than I already have been...

    It was never a bug. It was how it was designed from the start of the game.

    Correct. Hence me saying "At first I thought..."

    My second thought being "Well, I guess it works like this, even if it doesn't make much sense."

    Admit it, you just wanted to post your mount’s name. Not that I blame you, it’s most excellent ;)

    heh heh, you got me. But for reals, I don't mind the change to the mechanic, though I get why people who've been using this for years would be upset.

    I always thought it would make more sense. Stamina decreases when we sprint, correct? Why wouldn't your mount get tired as well?

    Didn't they say something strange about that along the lines of "It has always been a bug but we didn't have the technology to fix it, so we didn't. Now we have the technology and so we're fixing it".

    Can't wait for the outrage once they eventually fix animation canceling.
    This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.
