Horse movement: Fixin' what ain't broke
KontrolledKhaos
✭✭✭
So with 1.6 comes brand new horse physics that has completely borked the way horses move now. Horses jerk back and forth now with even the slightest amount of movement as if theyre hopped up on LSD, and they regularly start and stop moving every now and again even when riding on flat surfaces.
The question is, though, why did you feel the need to fix what wasn't even broken to begin with? No one's been complaining about horse movement at all, and yet you felt the need to go ahead and "fix" it anyway. And yet you continue to ignore all the other stuff that need to be fixed that players have been complaining about (class balance, grouping, AvA, etc.) Gotta love your priorities, Zenimax.

I couldn't agree more. It's really hard to control a horse now. It stops and starts for no reason, and feels more like it's skating at super speeds on ice when in motion. Horrible.

Valymer✭✭✭✭✭I wonder if it isn't tangentially related to the changes that allow us to now switch weapons and cast Rapid Maneuver while mounted (which are awesome, awesome changes). But yeah sometimes it feels like one step forward and two steps back.1

SoonerMagicEE✭✭✭I agree that the new movement is pretty clunky and the previous movement worked just fine, but it DID have some issues and people DID complain about it. Horses would stop upon encountering the smallest of obstacles....sometimes changes in elevation that you could barely see if you examined them closely. This update was supposed to address that....but it seems they went a bit overboard.Edited by SoonerMagicEE on March 11, 2015 4:17AM0

Irista✭✭I love how I'm sprinting through Cyro, hit a pebble and come to a full stop.
Or a slight tap of a straife key sends me in a 180. >_>

There have been many complaints about horses stuck on terrain like small rocks, some steps, etc., I'm pretty sure THAT's why ZOS had someone alter horse movement.

teladoy✭✭✭✭✭They did a good work with mounts and small obstacles, the only problem now, is that in anytime your riding your mount sometimes stops. Yes, there is no obstacle, nothing, but stops. In the begining I thought was because maybe I was not pressing good the keyboard... but then I realize is some kind of bug.
I will suggest to fix or try really at least in the name of god to improve the next points:
1- Lag.
2- Responsiveness - This is something very, very important is a thing of 99% of the game. Sometimes you are questing and you want to talk with an NPC and is like you can't. Also in fights, you press your skill and doesn't take any order.
Fix that and you would have the best game in the market.1 -

Happened to me yesterday, I rode into water to dismount
Is there a way to make the horse just trot, or walk? I don't want to gallop through towns all the time.EU ‣ Wabbajack nostalgic ‣ Blackwater Blade defender ‣ Kyne wanderer

When an MMO is designed around a revenue model rather than around fun, it doesn’t have a long-term future. ― Richard A. Bartle
Their idea of transparent, at least when it comes to communication, bears a striking resemblance to a block of coal. ― lordrichter
... in the balance of power between the accountants and marketing types against the artists, developers and those who generally want to build and run a good game then that balance needs to always be in favour of the latter - because the former will drag the game into the ground for every last bean they can squeeze out of it. ― Santie Claws0 -

You have to press a key one more time to talk to npc or wait second or two before it works..
I hate myself for going to forum sometimes.
We hate you too. Now, on your way.Edited by Minack on March 11, 2015 11:28AM1 -
wOOOOt_of_SD✭✭✭They fixed so the horse dont get stuck on small obstacles.
Now it just get stuck when there are no obstacles.
Also annoying when you pop a menu while on horse, and it turns 180 degress to face you1 -

Sure.
Key-bind a key to toggle your 'toon to walk.
Use the same key while mounted. It's an on/off switch.The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.0 -

✭Totally agree. My 1.5 horse was the best its been during the life of the game. Now its back to launch status, except instead of dismounting every 10 seconds, I am just stopping.Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
Disable abilities while holding block.
Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.

How do you not notice your horse randomly stopping on even FLAT surfaces lol?
