Major Gallop gone from the game.

Seems to be the case. Adept Rider gear ain't so galloping good anymore. Continuous Attack ain't inclined to gallop so much anymore... I see some comments here and there that "Gallop" has been fussed with, on behalf of "Game Balance." I assume this to mean that too many folks were being bad in Cyrodiil and then escaping from justice, via the FAST horsies? If not that, then what was unbalanced?

    This change was noted in the patch notes. It's part of their system to make mounts faster at the beginning.

    The team wanted your initial experience unlocking a mount to be more impactful, so we've made significant improvements to the speed of mounts prior to unlocking Major Gallop. The end result of these changes is that mounts will start out noticeably faster than they did previously, i.e. you are now much less likely to be overtaken on foot when mounted, while still ending up at the same speed (or very slightly faster at the top end). The details of these changes are:
    • Increased the base mounted speed bonus to 42%, up from 15%.
    • Major Gallop is now Gallop, and counts as a Minor buff instead of a Major buff. The multiplicative bonus of Gallop is now 15% instead of 30%.
    • Note: Due to the way that this bonus multiplies with base speed, this ends up being no change for fully trained mounts, or a very slight buff if you’re also using the Gifted Rider champion star. See below for more detail!
    Here are the percent changes different folks can expect to see, as a percentage change from their prior speed:
    • Sprinting on a brand new mount: +19%
    • Sprinting on a trained mount: +13%
    • Sprinting on a brand new mount with Gallop: +5%
    • Sprinting on a trained mount with Gallop: No Change
    • Sprinting on a trained mount with Gallop and Gifted Rider: +1%

    It's just because passives and CP are turned off for the Cyrodiil test

    Overall mount speed is faster now, just slightly.

    Very good point but they are not talking about PvP or Cyrodiil. They only mention Cyrodiil as they are assuming that this was turned off across the entire game for the test.

    @tomofhyrule is correct in posting the patch notes that discuss the change, hence how the overall speed boost was changed.

    Yea, I notice the "Major Gallop" has been changed to just "Gallop". Even outside of Cyrodiil.

    Then again we never had "Minor Gallop"…

    We do now. Gallop counts as a Minor buff - even though it doesn't say that.

    Same, same.

    Sprinting on a mount with Gallop and Gifted Rider seems the same to me although the notes say it is 1% faster. It's all good.
