    Yes. You can see in the screen cap above that my character is in Vivec City.

    Well that makes things much easier and much better than using rapids while riding.

    Does the passive mount speed increase cause your weapon to glow a slimy shade of yellow per the rapids skill?

    And I showed this to my RPer friends expecting them to cheer and they started complaining about how they can't "Turn it off" after putting points into the passive.... So the first thing I did was use Rapid Maneuver and walk around on horseback to prove Major Gallop doesn't ruin the horse's walking animation.

    No, there is no buff visual affect whatsoever. Your horse just moves like the wind. :smiley:

    Also, this:

    With this + Continuous Attacks + stablemaster speed upgrades, my mount feels like it's always sprinting, even when it isn't.

    I actually crafted a 2pce Adept Rider for a lowbie toon for the Armor buff - but mainly to say I am probably the ONLY person who has ever crafted Adept Rider. ;)

    Coward's gear still needs sprinting for major expedition, I think it is envious of Adept Rider now.

    Man, this is great. Can we get an F for the Fast Ride add-on though?

    The only reason to wear Adept Rider would be for < level 10 players or crafting/farming alts that either want the Major Expedition bonus too, or can't be bothered to get to Alliance War rank 3.

    This is a very welcome change. BIG THANKS to ZOS for it.

    This is a big added bonus to console players who had to slot the skill if we wanted major gallop since we don’t have add-ons.

    With this change if had me looking at the skill morphs. I think they need to change the morphs up.

    My idea is for Retreating Maneuver to be for yourself and group but only last 6 seconds and Charging Maneuver to be self only and last 12 seconds. This would help lower the power it has for ball groups and help the individual who wants to use solo use.

    If you want to keep 8 seconds on Retreating Maneuver, then make and Charging Maneuver last 16 seconds but I feel this would make them to strong.

    Stay safe and have fun :)

    We won't have to use that mod that swaps skills out for Rapids every time you mount?!?

    So now instead of using the FastRide addon, everyone will be using Dressing Room when they mount up to put on their Adept Rider outfit, and instead of getting stuck with one bad skill on your bar from accidental combat, you are stuck wearing a completely garbage set of gear and can't kill a fly. Yup, can't see this going wrong in any way.
    Why would anyone need an addon? They will have passive Major Gallop all the time with a single skill point into Assault > Continuous Attacks. Seems like an improvement to me.

    The only reason to wear Adept Rider would be for < level 10 players or crafting/farming alts that either want the Major Expedition bonus too, or can't be bothered to get to Alliance War rank 3.

    Apparently you haven't seen the hundreds of threads here about how no one wants to earn Alliance Skills to ride faster. I am pretty sure Adept Rider will be used by every PVP adverse player out there, not just level 10's.

    This is a good change. Baby alts don't have to slowride through cyro for some time before really being able to join the fight. Also happy they didn't nerf rapids so it is still viable for group builds :smile:

    There’s a big difference between grinding PvP for hours for rank 5 and getting to rank 3. Rank 3 is achievable with just the welcome to cyrodiil quest and a single solo resource capture or daily login AP reward. Most of my baby alts are already at rank 3 or 4 without ever putting on a pvp set or killing another player.

    this is a fantastic change, but big rip to the rapids assist add on.

    I am very happy for the change. I do feel a tad miffed though having to grind all my toons to level 5 and endure many hours of needless grief in BGs because I was not a pro.

    Again happy and thankful! This was though a needless pain inflected on the player-base by the company and should have been avoided from the beginning. Leaves some lingering hard feelings.

    This sort of change was literally asked for by a massive amount of players even before the rapids change left PTS. I do hope next time such an outcry is heeded.

    I can see coward’s gear still being used in BG for running relics, or perhaps for scroll running in cyrodiil. Mounted speed is useless in both cases, and you will be sprinting anyways. The extra stamina recovery and major protection of coward’s would be more useful in the role of a dedicated runner.

    I have tested this on PTS and basically "Continuous Attack" passive now gives you Major Gallop. No need to siege or capture PvP objectives to trigger it.

    I works everywhere in PvE, all the time.

    At this point, what even is the point of this in a passive that can be earned by literally traveling to a zone and talking to an NPC.

    Just make Major Gallop speed boost the base mount speed across the board.
