Getting a mount in Diablo 4 should speed up your travels across the dark world of Sanctuary, but one recurring community complaint centres on how annoying the barricades can be while mounted as they frequently slow down exploration. Since Diablo 4’s launch, several online posts have criticised the inconvenience that comes from frequently dismounting their horse to break said barricades. But developer Blizzard now plans to address that tedium in the game’s next big patch.
After last night’s Campfire Chat, game director Joe Shely jumped onto social media to clear up the mount changes. “We’re going to allow the mount charge to break through barricades,” tweeted Shely, “I realized I didn’t state this explicitly during the Diablo 4 campfire chat today.” That fixes the tedium of being stopped constantly, but ramming through a roadblock also just sounds satisfying on its own. The mount charge will be added as part of patch 1.1.1 which is going live on August 8th.
