remove/change ebony speed bonus

[RainRain 591]

make it global to all horses or remove it entirely

i want to use the objectively cool horse in pvp (black silver, of course) and i should not be punished for wanting this. it's not difficult to change your horse stock to be mainly one color

[viruskiller 105]

i didn't even have a clue that color is a speed trait nowadays, and if limited to just ebony that is plain stupid.. i mean why would we ever see any other horse color get used?

  either remove it or make the color to be a duplicate of the other traits ,  at least we would see some variation between use cases like some would use heavy gear in pvp and they'd take a horse that can carry more before being slowed down, or others like to dress light and would take a faster horse  and so on.

the bonus is so small its fine, just ride what you want since you yourself say you like to win with what isn't meta

5 speed ebony vs non-ebony is like 0.1kmh faster. truly is a game changer..

-1 its such a small buff and they are pretty rare to get. So i dont see the issue.

If it's so small then why defend it so...

 

As of know it's literally there just to bother people with a minmax mentality.

what "some variation" this suggestion provides, if they want to make everything literally SAME.  Logic over 9000

...variation in the horses that people bring to combat?

2.5% provides around ~.5km-1km faster on average. Minor sure, but enough to outrun others consistently if they use worse (read: not ebony) horses.

It's not a big issue right now because of the varied quality of horse shoes, but once people consistently start using top quality shoes/enchants it'll be light and day between ebonies and non-ebony
