Shhh, this is a bug that doesn't break the game and is actually helpful, if in fact it is a bug.

Sounds like a bug to me.

I've noticed this since I first got a horse back during the last beta. I /bug reported it during early access. However, I will say that I have not upgraded the speed on any of my horses yet, so I don't know if that affects it or not. Has anyone that has upgraded their horse's speed discovered if it drops off or not when your stamina gets to 0?

But yeah, horses have infinite sprint.

As it stands, this make my stamina horse pointless. It needs fixed.

It makes investing in Stamina rather pointless, aside form the fact that it helps to prevent from being knocked off. However, the description states that Stamina allows for your horse to run at top speed for longer distances.

... or something close to that, anyway.

Speed is all I have invested in. Hell, I even named him Irrelevant as in the beginning I could run as fast as he could.

He is only at 28% and he still runs forever.

So it is definitely a bug then. Like I said, I /bug reported this back during early access.

lol, the bug that everyone knew about, but no one spoke about...until now. wtg OP

Horse stamina helps you stay in your saddle when you get attacked. Useful in PvP,

That's what it says but what are the mechanics with that?

Is it a % chance based on your max stamina?
Is it based on the total stamina level that you are currently in ?

I am absolutely clueless mate, sorry.

the only point of stamina on the horse is to determine how many hits it can take before you get knocked off and how many times you can tap the sprint button to make it run at top speed. If you run the bar down to nothing you wont be able to tap to sprint anymore youll be stuck at more of a jog, and youll get knocked off in one hit.

I never "taped" anything to sprint. It's a "while held" function. If you hold it down, you sprint. If you let off, you stop. If you hold it down and keep holding it down, you will sprint indefinitely.

if its a bug it needs to be fixed simple as that


i have a feeling you'll be able to enjoy this bug for a long long looooong time.

I reported it like six or seven months ago in a beta test and there are a lot more bugs to work out

and if you tap it over and over, you move faster than if you just hold it.

I'm sorry, my friend but I must challenge that statement. I see now where you think this "tap" is a function, but when you tap you are going in and out of sprint. Meaning that you are only sprinting in short bursts.

You cannot keep up with a player that holds it down. It works the same as your character's Stamina and sprinting.

.. aside from being able to sprint forever.

^That is correct. Tapping just activate the sprint. Holding it down will keep sprint active all the time.

Bug is that you have infinite sprint if you hold down the button. It is beneficial to players, but not working as intended. Aside from that, it's probably the least priority from all the other bug going on imo since every players have an equal advantage in that respect.

alright then, i never actually payed much attention thats just what a bunch of us have figured since the PTS. But the fact that the bar runs out and lets you keep running has been around a really long time, and been brought up many times. If you choose to keep sprinting you will get knocked off any time you are hit, if you dont then you have a better chance. The more stamina your horse has the better your chance of escaping at full speed before it runs out and you get knocked off when you come across an enemy.

I had this debate with a guildie off and on for an hour. He kept insisting that he moved faster when he tapped sprint. So we both bought new imperial mounts, went down to the beach and raced. I won by holding shift and he shut up about tapping to go faster.

I think you get the false impression you move faster due to the animation that begins the horse sprint.

Also this bug is repeatable for me on every character I have ever made, so I just assumed that it was meant to work that way. I believed that stamina was simply for not getting knocked off your horse instantly, i.e. more stamina on a mount made a better PvP mount...
