8 Ranks in Ride not giving horse-riding ability

Post by Dreams » Mon Oct 02, 2017 7:47 am

As title. I'm not sure if it simply hasn't been changed yet, or whether it is a bug. Currently have 8 ranks on a new character, unable to ride a horse. I get the 'You must have the gift' message.

Potentially related: My paladin can ride horses with zero ranks.

Yes, 8 base ranks in hide. Still no work.

So it must not be checking for ranks then? But I have 11 for the modified skill.

I just checked if I could mount a horse with only 7 base ranks and it worked. So there is definitely something still wrong with it :) I was playing a paladin BTW, 3Pal/1PDK

You can select 'Mounted Combat' on levelup at the moment, probably another oversight?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't do anything on Arelith, so it's just a wasted feat if someone selects it. So, slightly better than Circle Kick.

I noticed it was fixed after a recent reset, it checks for the skills points properly now. However I just leveled up a paladin/PDK of mine to level 5 and put my 8th point into Ride, but when I try mount a horse with him it tells me "You much have 8 ranks in Ride to do this.". He does have 8 base points in it, I thought it might be that my total was 7 with negative dex but after chugging a cats pot and bringing my total ride to 9 it still didn't work.

Confirming I can not ride a horse either, despite having 8 ranks as a paladin.

Someone fixed my fix >.<

I think it's now blocking everyone instead!

Just confirming that there's still something preventing some people from mounting horses. Can assign them to group, but 'Individual Mount' isn't working on ether server. Have 8 base ranks ride.

On the other hand, it once more works for those who do not have any ranks in Ride.

Can confirm as well. My 8 ride character cannot mount a horse, but my 0 ride character can.

Do you get an error message or are you like dreams and just can't ride?

No error message at all, simply doesn't seem to work at all.

Just a heads up that this still seems to be a problem. You can make any new character with no ranks ride and they can ride a horse, but seems like some characters with the 8 ranks can't.

Just to clarify, this issue is occurring for people with 8 base ranks in ride.

@dreams Check after the next reset, I've rewritten the function that checks whether you can ride which should stop people mounting with no ride, might help you too but I doubt it :/
