Horse seems to be growling without pause (Edit: It's not the horse.)

Game mode: Online Official
Type of issue: Bug
Server type: PvE
Region: Oceania


Playing after the recent update, my horse seems to constantly be making growling noises (rhino/rocknose/some other large creature?) on top of its usual horse noises. These are very loud and do not get quieter with distance. It’s particularly noticeable in caves, and I first noticed it in a dungeon. I was wondering where that echoing roar was coming from - if the boss was still alive or if it respawned.

It seems to happen without much pause (barely half a second?) and goes on constantly when not mounted on the horse. As someone who has a horse around pretty much 100% of the time, it’s actually bad enough to be quite nauseating. I created an account for the first time after two years of because of it, haha. so I hope this report helps and that it will be all back to normal soon!

Edit: Just did some testing - It’s inconsistent. Sometimes it happens every second, others, less often. It happens while mounted as well, if you fight on horseback. Roars just like a rocknose (I was fighting rocknoses with the horse). Might actually ditch the horse for a bit.

Edit 2: Side note - Thralls don’t seem to follow as well as before sometimes. I’ve fought all the way through to the executioner and twice my thrall was still at the entrance. (Also for anyone else reading, is getting Deadeye in fighter thralls common? Not sure where to ask, but it’s happened about thrice in a row, seems like an archer perk)

Edit 3: Turns out the sound plays when you attack on foot as well.


Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:

  1. Set a horse to follow you
  2. Listen

It is you, not the horse, see my post further down:

I did a bit of testing and noticed that. An odd bug. I wonder if it’s possible to just manually fix it client-side.

I also logged out of one server and logged into another. Now the sound is now gone for this session.

temporary fix is
Make a Orb of Nergal / Vanity Mirror change character voice.
you can change is right back

It will stop the growl until it can be patched.
