Navigating through the vast world of Diablo 4 becomes effortless once you’ve obtained your first Diablo 4 mount. However, there have been some issues with the system since its launch. While your Diablo 4 horse provides a speedy means of travel, its handling is a bit clunky, and you often encounter literal roadblocks. Fortunately, these mount-related problems are soon to be resolved.
In response to a user question on the Campfire Chat, where Blizzard shared the preliminary Diablo 4 1.1.1 patch notes, game director Joe Shely elaborates on the current mount issues the team is addressing. He also provides an entertaining example of how a concept may appear more captivating in theory than it is in practice, and announces an eagerly awaited fix.
“In theory, the idea of riding through an area and encountering bandits or skeletons who have set up a barricade, forcing you to dismount and fight them all, sounds like a fun idea,” Shely explains. He then chuckles, “But it doesn’t quite play out that way. You end up feeling annoyed and asking yourself, ‘Can’t I just ride around the top of the barricade?’ Then it becomes a struggle to determine if the collision actually touches… We’re going to rectify that.”
Shely further clarifies on Twitter what this means. He adds, “We’re going to allow the mount charge to break through barricades. I realize I didn’t state this explicitly during the Diablo 4 Campfire Chat today.” This is fantastic news, as it adds a small level of player control. If you’re not prepared with a boost charge, you may still get stuck, but now you can actively push through these roadblocks in a satisfying manner.
Other changes are also on the way. “We’re going to enhance the overall feel of mounts,” Shely comments. This includes improvements to the controller’s boost functionality, where multiple boosts fail to stack properly for controller players. Additionally, there will be general enhancements to pathfinding, which should prevent the mount from getting stuck on objects as you traverse the various regions of the Diablo 4 map.
