Hey there, I know this is going to be long comment but it is improvement/fixed issue, and I do not know if someone had brought this one up already, but I will ask anyway. When you "Take" your horse (The one that the Player chooses from Torben), should the traveling time be shortened as well? For example, when you go to Bareshade from your home, it will take 135 minutes by traveling on foot with no mount, but when I take my Horse, it is still the same amount of time between the two locations when walking. The Updates from 0.11 that the traveling time is reduced to 50% when a player takes a Horse when traveling. That would mean that the traveling time should be around 68 minutes instead of the 135 minutes when you take the horse. I am pretty sure I checked everything. I mastered riding the horse, and when I check in the Armory (Helmet Button) when traveling, the small window shows up for Companion: Horse (or any Animal owned by the Player when the Player "Takes" them). If I miss something to make sure I can "Ride" the horse for traveling, please let me know how, but if it is not implemented yet from the 0.11 update, I am just saying that the time while traveling with mount should be fixed.
Sorry for the lengthy comment.
