Magnet horses

[Torgrim]

So what is the deal with magnet horses in MP?

When you are looking for a horse they run away when you are not they are drawn to you and run you over.

This has confused and frustrated me for forever.

so a horse just got stabbed- is it so difficult to imagine the horse NOT wanting something on it's back? and as it can't buck you off, why wouldn't it run away?

Horses with 100% hp run over and bump into people aswell.m

And yeah, sometimes i spend an entire round chasing after an horse, only for it to reach the map edge and dissapear

horses freak out after a while in combat, I don't see the issue here. if they have been dismounted for a while they get confused. it makes total sense to me. I like this aspect, adds some realism. anyway if you haven't noticed I think friendly horses allow you to walk up to them. horses that belonged to the enemy will run or barrel through you.

I agree. You can always tell when that horse is going to hit you, as when you try to dodge it just moves to get you again. Homing missiles...

while (alive && rider == 0 )
{

cruiser.dirX = nearestPlayer.X;
cruiser.dirY = nearestPlayer.Y;
Sleep(100);

}

I understand why riderless horses run away, I don't understand why they will only run away when you want to ride them, and seemingly know when you don't want a horse near you and so chase you around.
