The horse mechanic where it slows down if your mouse is close to it is driving me insane. (self.diablo)

In order to not slow down on my horse, especially if traveling vertically on screen, I have to peg my mouse to the edges of the screen. I think this is ridiculous, why the **** would you ever want to get on your horse and go slower. I haven't found any way to get around it either. Anyone else?

I like that you can go different speeds. However on a controller you don’t need to move your finger much to get full throttle. Is the variable speed zone with mouse really that big? That would annoy me as well, halfway between horse and edge of screen would be good to go full tilt already.

Specifically vertically, yes, it's annoying as fuck.

Yeah it's pretty annoying. I think it can work on mouse but the way it's implemented is not great.

Reduce the variability ring around the player, and maybe make it elliptical/lerp between player and edge of screen closest to mouse, instead of a fixed circle.

Or hell, just remove the variability on PC and give us a "walk/gallop" toggle, and keep the sprint options for gallop. Best of both worlds.

You don't need to go all the way to the edge of the screen. But the most annoying direction is heading south as if your mouse pointer goes over the skill bar then your horse stops moving. It's a bit janky.

Apparently you can move that to the bottom left corner in the settings. Maybe that helps.

Well whats stupid is because we need to move the mouse like we do - we can actually get faster top speeds than console players. There's a video floating around that shows it.
