Faster riding inside towns !

[Mancubus]

change the speed ..it's very very slow while riding close to and inside big towns like attika...

[Mujokan]

Someone said this may be to reduce pop up. There's no really logical reason for it so that makes sense to me.

[lunerlineage]

I jump off the horse and run in towns.

Witcher 3 had the same problem with how slow the horse was in towns. And someone modded it so the horse would run in towns. Because Witcher 3 has mod support.

Ubisoft games have no mod support. So if anything needs to be twinked its on Ubisoft to twink it.

Which age's Ubisoft games much faster than games that allow mod support.

I think instead of faster mounting speed in towns we should be able to run faster in towns tbh

[EbonHawk]

I hate running over people so freely, so I'm sorta glad the speed is considerably slower. Be nice to have an option though. That way I could guide my horse at the faster speed and not have to worry about hitting innocent folks who are too daft to move their arses out of the damn way. :-P

That is one of the most narrow minded comments ever.
You have had a sprint button on the previous modes, if you don't like to run over people, then stop holding down the sprint button. Done.

There is no reason in removing the overall sprint feature for 90% of the rest of the community.
Ubisoft did, frankly said, a sh*tty job on on restricting this crap.
Even riding along outside of towns, it is pathetically tiresome having to wait for the mood of sprinting or not and gets annoying even more when in fight and a freaking bear is faster than your naturally faster horse, why? Because it won't sprint.

this has most likely performance reasons, town walls are not a wall which restrict the area which gets loaded, assets behind town walls get loaded if you are near to the town as well so i assume that the slowdown a bit outside a town also has performance reasons.

i actually like how it is now.

Well the thing is that you still bump into everyone even with that slower speed since the AI is stupid and still jumps in front of your horse.

I think the horse is way too slow everwhere. Why does it only go fast in certain points of wilderness, but not others? It is maddenly slow in towns.

In origin I use the animus hack to make run speed 200% (sometimes more), because I have a life outside of AC so I don't need to play a walking simulator.

[markquinn2k4]

The horse is too slow when it walks and too fast when it gallops (outside of town). And not just by a little bit. I mean WAY too slow when it walks and WAY too fast when it gallops. Basically unplayable in both situations, which means horses are useless for mouse and keyboard users.

The other day a dev or someone from Ubi said on their official forums that he/she "hadn't seen any reports" of horse speed problems. There's only been about two dozens posts about this, both here and there. Someone isn't getting the message obviously.

But the sad thing is, any dev who actually playtests horses using mouse and keyboard shouldn't have to receive a report to realize something is very wrong. It's such an obvious problem it would be like if all the grass in the game was neon pink for all users on all configurations and the dev says, "Sorry I haven't seen any reports of pink grass." Load up your game! There's your report!

Did you miss the part where I said it would be nice to have an option?

I also never said I wanted a slower option, I quite like it the way it is.

Try reading again. :-)

[SpiritFire]

why is there just one speed for the horse that changes on its own? we need to have it how it use to be.. one tap/hold goes one speed. double tap/hold is faster.
til its this way your going to always have complaints about to slow or too fast.

[Warlord]

Not gonna happen. You'd aggro everyone you ran into.

[Mancubus]

oopss just noticed there is alreadu a post about it ....
why the game is not patched yet to add riding speed option ?

About the performance stuff ... not really.
I made a hack for the riding speed, ignoring the parameters and nopping Ubisoft's bullcrap on the horse behavior: Had no issues, stuttering, caching or any other kind of delaying while manually and auto riding with the usual max speed that the player can reach with the horse.
