Should Mounted speed be increased ?

Hello,
I believe that mounted speed should be increased.
It takes too much time to get to the destination even with 60/60 upgrade to mount speed + Major Gallop buff + Windrunning champion passive.
I would be happy if ZOS will increase the mounted speed by at least additional 30%(instead of only riding skill: 60% upgrade to mounted speed, there will be riding skill: 90% upgrade to mounted speed when fully upgraded).
The absence of Ward of Cyrodiil set bonus to mounted speed is noticeable, even with that set I didn't feel fast enough.
Currently the mounted speed is way too slow.
Let's be faster!
Please vote and express your opinion :)

    With a fully upgraded mount + rapids, I'm pretty fast, even in Cyrodiil's wide open spaces. The top speed for mounts seems pretty reasonable to me.

    The only change I'd make is to make it faster for new characters to get to full mount speed (ZOS won't do this because crown store lessons) or increase the base move speed of mounts so the difference from 0 to 60 isn't as punishing.

    I find the 15% buff a bit low.
    It would have been nice if we could at least have overall 30%(about) increase to mounted speed.

    I wouldn't mind that new characters will be able to increase their mounted speed riding skill faster.
    Though I still believe that mounted speed should be increased, at least from 60 to 90.

    IMO no, not across the board anyway.

    What I WOULD like to see, however, is the removal of major gallop and instead do a base increase of 30% or 25% to the mounts.

    Really, with the maneuver skill (which is essentially free at lvl 10) the only place mount speed is even remotely an issue is Cyrodiil. And there, some people use addons which allow them to autoswitch between maneuver and another skill. This is over the line and into cheating for me personally and I think it is actually a potentially bannable offense (macro). However some classes have better access to major expedition (cough sorc cough), giving them a big mobility advantage, and so I´d like it if all characters could make more equal use of mounted travel.

    I think it's fine with rapids and max speed. Plus at that point there are already enough terrain hangup issues that I laterally run into. How am I able at 20 speed to smoothly go over things, but at 60 with rapids I begin to get caught on small deviations?

    I'm fine with mounted run speed the way it is. I would love to see the walking speed increased. I love to walk my horse to enjoy the scenery and at 60 speed the walk is not too bad but would love to see it a bit faster.

    I voted no and let me explain, I think the max speed with and without rapids is fast enough. I used to play Rift and they kept making mounts faster and faster, they also had temp consumables that made you even faster. Problem was they got so fast people couldn't control the mounts anymore and kept launching off cliffs. I'm not kidding you would hit a little rock, a pebble and go flying through the air. They eventually just took out falling damage because of it, I'm not so sure removing fall damage on here is a viable option.

    I don't think that extra 30% to mounted speed will make such a huge difference in regard to controlling the mounts.
    It isn't extra 100% or something, I merely suggest an extra 30% to mounted speed.

    If it's just 30% and stays that way, that shouldn't be too bad. I would just hope it wouldn't go the way of Rift and people get used to that speed, and then want it buffed again and again. Your suggestion in itself seems reasonable enough, I just wouldn't want it to get out of hand.

    We should be able to mount in housing instances because some of them take a LONG time to run from one place to another. The other day I decided NOT to purchase a place because it took too long walk from one end to the other and I felt like I was play The Sims where it took 30 game time minutes to walk from the upstairs bathroom to the waiting car below.

    Being able to mount inside homes is not part of the poll.
    Though I agree when it comes to huge homes like "Grand Topal Hideaway" then using a mount should be allowed.

    I wonder how many people actually spend money on those lessons. But yeah, it's my nummer 1 annoyance when rolling a new character. You can finish all the questing content long before you finish training your horse skills, it's ridiculous.

    No, the max speed shouldn't be icreased, but I think that the mount system should be reworked. Instead of current 2 movement gaits (run and walk) we should have several ones, which can be switched with by pressing W button, and button shouldn't be hold in order to move while mounted. One can see a system like this in Mount and Blade, for example. Such system can be naturally included in the current system by opening new gaits on the fixed level of the mount training levels, so when you have your training at maximum all functionality is available. In sum, it can be something like this:
    1 Speed — Level 1 gait, so you can now walk and slowly run;
    15 Speed — Level 2 gait, now you can walk and run on two speeds;
    ...and so on.
    Each gait level should also have it's own animation, to make mount movement more natural, less clunky.

    Well new mounted speeds(besides the current: walk, run and sprint) can exist while the current sprint speed will reach in theory the riding skill speed: 90.

    Major Gallop was nerfed from 40% to 30% a few years ago.
    I wouldn't mind if ZOS will revert it back to 40% and implement a set bonus of 15% mounted speed like Ward of Cyrodiil had.
    If this is not possible, then the missing 25% should be integrated into the riding skill:Speed, so players can train to ride faster.
    There is a reason why I asked 30% increase to mounted speed, we used to be able to ride much faster.

    right now 60 speed plus rapids is the upper limit of how comfortable I am with the speed our mounts go. I'm already nearly finding the top speed to be ridiculous - if it was even marginally but noticeably faster then I couldn't take myself seriously.

    Truth be told, I wish the actual time between points was longer - I'm a long time player of LOTRO, and LOTRO was *VAST* in scale, and I loved it for that. There was a real sense of distance between places, and a very present sense of the magnitude of a new region and all of the various things to do there.

    The less time doing horse simulator, the more meaningful tasks you can complete in-game.
    It can be useful in both PVP and PVE.

    But lately the developers were able to make this type of crash less frequent.
    The speed of the mount wasn't the main issue, it was the loading of the mount and the player into the large fighting area.

    Mounted speed should be buffed by swift jewelry. That would be enough of a change. Not sure why this doesn’t work currently, seems like a bug.
