I didn’t find out how changing the horse’s directional control to look like the character’s movement as it said it could now. (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME)
For God’s sake someone tells me how to do it because I can’t guide the horse as it is now in “combat” mode, I don’t want to fight anything I just want to ride the horse I can’t turn the keyboard, and I found it amazing to ride the horse but I can not, I dream about it for 3 years, I play this game since the first day of early access and there was no 1 day if I did not think I could ride a horse by the map, now I CAN BUT CAN’T! Of course I can get it in a straight line, but if I have to turn somewhere I get all lost with my fingers.
I look forward to helping you! to me it’s even more DESPERATE now I have 5 horses and can’t ride it!
I also think it’s intended.
And I also found it awkward, after years of mouse steering.
but it’s actually fun and immersive once you get used to it.
put your index finger on W pointer finger on D ring finger on A,
Think of it as controlling the horse with reins
and practice riding around will help level up the horse too.
good luck
So I got it wrong, I had understood that in the “repair” update of the new update they had added the “simple” horse move option.
How sad I had been so happy and spent over 1 hour looking for how to make the command change from ‘combat’ mode to ‘simple’ mode with the same movement as the NPC character as I understood it.
Will they still give me the option to do that, I play too much ARK too and handle there HUGE Weyvers dragons inside my space for minimal spaces and never felt difficulty moving, I don’t feel it’s my gameplay deficiency since I play a lot of games and have never had any difficulty moving a character, including I’m very good at Legue of Legends which requires a lot of ability.
I hope the developers do something because despite playing other games Conan is my favorite and I am absolutely frustrated, and that feeling is terrible!
The jump key is spacebar, I use my thumb.
Reverse, I move my index finger to the S key while the other two are still on A&D
Sprint I mapped to the third mouse aka the wheel button.
I am very happy that you work on this, of course with ‘difficulty’ I can guide the horse if the space is large, but in small spaces such as within the city you need so much ‘attention’ to guide that you end up becoming vulnerable to what It happens around.
Of course some people will adapt to the use, but it shouldn’t be that way, I shouldn’t have to adapt to a game difficulty, on the contrary the difficulty should be optional, just as games have the easy, medium and hard modes, I I always choose medium mode, which won’t cause me any difficulties, but it will still give me a “standard” experience.
I look forward to the improvements of course 1% of people who feel the same difficulty come here to speak, the vast majority simply do not use the horse (my case) or use very hard because of the initial hype, then will not use or accustom, few will get used to it, I don’t wanna see this mechanics die in the game, it’s amazing, riding a horse is a wonderful experience the developers really shined when they developed the horse’s resourcefulness, the only flaws was making it difficult to guide and keep it from leading a warrior slave, I believe that at some point these problems will be reviewed and I will finally be able to ride conan as well as fly the ark map with my dragon.
That’s the view of a 3 year old Gamer with ALL purchased DLCs, I’m just saying that to validate my interest in the game, this is what people like me waiting for the 3 year old horse think, "Wow they really did what agent wanted that fantastic, but a pity they didn’t do with agent wanted, fix it! " This is what goes through the minds of the biggest fans of the game!
There I know this thought is not just mine because I watch MANY FREE games on youtube, twist and facebook gamin and I see all of youtubers saying the exact same thing I say that the horse today is not worth because it’s hard to guide and punish you by not taking a slave !!! all running on the floor again!
I doubt changing the mount moving to the mouse is possible. this will remove mounted combat. you can’t controll your mount with the mouse and target a npc which is on the left side of your mount. as soon as you try to focus the target your mount will move in this direction. mounted combat will work only in front of the horse with such a change.
the choice between mounted combat and no mounted combat? very unlikely. targeting with keys is not possible so your choice is for mounted combat or against mounted combat and this will never happen
There have been proposals in other threads, but something that could work would be to keep the current mode as default, but allow switching to an “easy riding” mode. The easy riding mode would work like this:
You steer your mount with the mouse, not keyboard. The steering would only take the horizontal mouse axis in account. This is all just like running on foot.
All the other mount movement controls – forward, backward, gallop, walk – would remain the same.
The weapon aim would be fixed on the horizontal axis, whereas the vertical axis would be taken from the mouse input. This is essentially how lances work.
The idea is that the default mode is used for mounted combat and easy riding mode is used for travel. The easy riding mode sucks for mounted combat, but it’s much easier on our poor fingers.
The combat mode would have to remain the default mode. This is of crucial importance, otherwise many of the new players would not even realize that there is another mode and they would either complain about how mounted combat sucks or think that other players – who can aim better – are using some exploit.
I know just how you feel I have given up on trying, I have tried for hours I can not make my fingers do that with all the keys its just not at all enjoyable, so for now deco is all horses can be for me but do hope the training goes well for you!! :0
Perfect! absolutely perfect!
Like I said I watch a lot of lives in the game and I always see everyone youtubers … ALWAYS get off the horse to fight, we understand that you wanted to come up with a proposal for a total change of game, which we would now fight in a new way. But unfortunately we don’t see it the same way.
The horses are amazing, they are beautiful, very well made and lively and we are all crazy to use it the right way, as a horse a locomotion and keep fighting as we are used to on the clear ground.
I am very happy that Funcom is open to absolving it, and I even think it should be VERY CLEAR that people can change the movement of the horse to the “easy / simple bike” as most will want it.
Of course there will always be that small amount of people who like the super “hard” thing, but it wouldn’t be nice for this mechanic to be used only by a small “elite” in the game, I’m very happy that all of us “casual” players don’t I say casual since I have 3,000 hours played, but we who play for fun and not to be the best in the game will be able to benefit from this much-anticipated mechanics.
I’m glad that all my “effort / work” to spend hours crying out, writing, passing a different view than you had, a player view without any “team” influence, because sometimes one person has this idea in the studio and the He argues so well that everyone begins to believe that it is “the best” even if it is not always.
Here is my compliments to the staff and looking forward to it!
and remember! do not work on new things now, use efforts to perfect the new game mechanics, the horses, be it in mobility, and especially not know how, and that is the minimum, but in allowing agent to take our warrior slaves when leaving with The horses.
That is for sure what is most important to us now! This is much more important to us than we thought!
Good job guys!
