Excessive Dismounting

Swimming horses would be neat, but what I'm finding is after Stonethorn ((Or maybe even Greymoor and I didn't notice)) that certain things I used to ride under without problem are now dismounting me. Think it even happened in the Imperial City before the event a few patches back, but then after an update it was "fixed" and I didn't notice it anymore.

Maybe it'll get fixed?

Orrrrrrrrr .....

Maybe it Got fixed. Maybe they had a list of areas they designed for walking through that were not working, and just now have ' fixed ' a bunch of them.

I wish we could pick up ressources and also swim while still on our horse.

Ughhhhhh yes, every time I enter/leave the city I'm dismounting. It never used to be like that though, right? Is that maybe something that showed up in a recent patch?

Definitely agree with adding the ability for mounts to swim. Please. It shouldn't be hard.

Lastly..... is it just me, or does anyone else have problems dismounting to harvest something unintentionally, because you were trying to jump, but wait! There's a torchbug! So instead of jumping YOU DISMOUNT TO GET THAT TORCHBUG?!

So your telling me this is a fix to a bug? I don't believe you since it's worked fine for years.

it happens in wayrest also, at the gate near the quartermaster

Found a new place in Stormhaven. Near one of the treasure map locations, you have some bridges. I went running my mount underneath a bridge that had pleeeenty of high clearance for me to run along the shoreline underneath it and newp. I got shucked off my mount. Walked two steps, remounted once the incredibly tall underside of the bridge was traversed.

This is dumb.

Why do you have jump and interact bound to the same button? Is this a console thing?

Console doesn’t get to map our buttons.

So, yes, this is 100% A Thing.

PS4 NA here. Is there a way for us to change it? That's just the default. Trust me, I hate it.

The day I remember not to mount up right before riding through one of these spots is the day they fix it, I just know it.

Giraffon

Maybe we should all open tickets in game to give them a nudge. Give them a nice new ticket and screen shot for each location.

Here is the play-by-play. I'm doing one right now for Wayrest NE gate by Mastercraft Exchange:

/help
Feedback/Bug
Impact - Delays Progress
Category - Quests (Nothing fits...just have to make it work)
Quest Name - Riding Mount
Description - Dismounted trying to enter or exit Wayrest through NE gate near Mastercraft Exchange

If this bugs you as much as it bugs me, please do something similar.

FlopsyPrince

Try the spot on the southern road in Grahtwood. No reason to dismount there, yet it happens every time!

No, not saying it was a bug. I'm just throwing out the option that maybe this is what was intended and it was such a minor issue they did not bother with it, until now.

Saoirse_Siobhan

Yep, noticed this too recently. Sometimes out of the blue with no apparent reason. But consistently in some areas. I remember one area specifically, when passing under the Stormhaven city gate going towards the Master Writ turn in. Very annoying.

I'm not sure if a thread has been made on this before but anyone else getting dismounted traveling under things like city gates that you usually never got dismounted for going under before? Its becoming a bit annoying, especially in Wayrest when heading to the Writ guy or going underneath that bridge that leads to the bank.

i have no idea why they changed this ---- but it sucks

Giraffon

Let me just necro this thread because it's still an issue.

I live in Wayrest. I'm a crafter. I have to go through a gate to turn in my writs. I have 8 crafters. I literally fall off my mount 16 times per day just crafting. That's about 480 times per month since September... That's just for writs though. The event tent is outside of a different door in Wayrest. The Undaunted tent is also outside the gates.

Approximate Total Dismounts over four months:

2000 - crafting writs
200 - events
480 - undaunted (3 daily plus random)
240 - getting dismounted in other areas around the map with similar textures on ground

---

2920 dismounts over 4 months

Multiply that times the number of players doing similar activities.

Can we please get this fixed?

Vevvev

Seems the issue has also spread to other areas as well. Please fix this ZOS!

Giraffon

Argh! Checked this on PTS last night. Still not fixed!

redlink1979

Yes it's very annoying to get dismounted when you pass a doorway/archway that divides 2 areas where you allowed to mount. You can even get dismounted within the same open area if you pass a archway as it happens in Imperial City.

RedMuse

It isn't just in cities, you'll get dismounted "randomly" overland when riding under say a stone arc or an arc created by two tall trees. Unfortunately it's almost impossible to guess what the game counts as an arc and what it doesn't

This!!!! Also let our mounts swim already. It’s dumb we have to remount for going into water knee deep or waist deep. Such a dumb mechanic.

Especially on PTS file tickets for every single place it happens to you, that way they'll actually notice it's affecting a lot of places and people

TwiceBornStar

Quick fix: Race: Orc. Weapon: Bow. Gear: Fiord's and Prisoner's. Mundus stone: The Steed. Medium armor: Athletics and Windrunning.

Whoosh! What was that?
