Many long-timeDiablofans were excited when it was announced that Blizzard would be introducing mounts to the franchise withDiablo 4, but now some players are asking the developer to make a major quality-of-life change to the ridable companions. Blizzard has shown itself to be at least somewhat receptive to player suggestions and feedback so far, recently revealing that it would beupgrading storage space inDiablo 4following ongoing player complaints.
Following over a decade of waiting for a new mainline entry in the series, gamers finally got their hands onDiablo 4in June. Moving away from the contentious,World of Warcraft-inspired art style ofDiablo 3and returning to the darker tone of the series’ earlier games made the franchise’s fourth entry feel like a return to form for many players. But despite receiving accolades for its revamped appearance and the addition of new features like ridable mounts,Diablo 4hasn’t been the flawless release some were hoping for. From progress-killing bugs tocomplaints aboutDiablo 4’s dungeon bosses, players have expressed their frustration with multiple issues plaguing the otherwise-polished title.

In the latest instance of gamers demanding changes, someDiablo 4fans on Reddit are asking for mount speeds to be drastically increased. Calls for faster mounts came after Redditor TheeChamby shared a video of themselves racing on foot against a friend on a mount. Although the horse-mounted ally was able to keep up at first, TheeChamby quickly left them behind as they sped across the map thanks to some judicious use of their character’s special abilities. While the other player was never more than a few seconds behind, the mount’s slower speed compared to its fleet-footed competitor led some players to call for a speed buff for the creatures.
While some Redditors called for mount speed to be increased others felt the race wasn’t entirely fair, with Redditors in the latter camp pointing out how TheeChamby was using their Rogue’s speed buffs throughout. Other respondents felt the use of buffs didn’t matter, claiming that even when using tricks toincrease mount speed inDiablo 4the creatures are still far too slow.
While it may not be the top issue on every player’s list of suggested fixes forDiablo 4, it’s clear that many fans think the game’s mounts need a bit more pep in their step. No matter how fast the mount, though,Diablo 4’s Butcher Cleaver trophywill still probably look silly hanging off its side.
Diablo 4is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
