Since the remake last patch you can no longer hold the S button while dismounting a horse to avoid going into weapon drawn stance.

Perfect solution would be to add a toggle for this since the "drawing weapon everytime you get off your horse" has been universally disliked since it was added to the game. Second best would be to fix the S key hold so that we have that workaround again.

Its been almost 2 months now can this bug at least be acknowledged? Since the wiz remake was non-optional bugs resulting from it should have a high prio!

Still not working.

Iirc, if you hold S+R to dismount, the weapon is always drawn, unless you have the option to interact with an NPC at that moment. Then, S+R will allow you to simply dismount normally.
At least thats how I remember it on my class. Was that ever different on wiz?

On all other classes (well, I haven't yet tried a handful) if you continue to hold S when dismounting that way, the character remains in non-combat stance.  But for wizard, the weapon is always drawn.

Hmm maybe i havent held it all the way trough, only tapped it. Thanks for the correction.
