Unlimited Sprint outside of Combat or Combat Zones.

[Spiroglyph]

:/ Most comments here are made based on the assumption that all people using sprint are max level, with all aetherytes attuned and mounts unlocked. Kind of disappointed players <lv20 aren't even brought up.
For alts and actual new players this isn't particularly fun...
Even if toggle isn't possible, 2.x/3.x cooldown on sprint (when not in instanced fights) would already be pretty good - whichever is easier to implement, really. And I really don't see this being a change big enough to take up that much time.

The valid reason is because your character will tire out.

If realism is that important then maybe SE could bring back the fatigue system..

It's a quality of life change, the biggest one in my opinion, though Ixion is important, it is self contained.

Movement speed affects the whole game and makes a better experience. Don't tell me people wouldn't go off the deep end if mount speed was taken away or nerfed.

I think it should be unlimited outside combat, but it doesn't have to be. It must be more lenient and usable for a better experience though.

When i was a new player, i wasn't using sprint at all. I was too busy enjoying scenarys i never saw, and searching in which direction i should go in all these maps i didn't know. Seeing some mobs with 20 levels more than i was ten meters ahead across a bridge, with an gard near it telling me "errrr seeing your current capabilities you might want to go back", i sure didn't feel like running everywhere at full speed like a retard. Especially when nearly everything was aggroing me.

And for alts, with more experience you dont stay that long without a mount.

Will add: why have to walk or running? lets give a teleport option to wherever we need to go so we solve problem from the root.
Ah, forgot it.... and all aetherites already unlocked by default.

Hinterlands needs its own Aetheryte and 2 and would be nice! And all zones could use a few Aethernet Shards maybe even quests to add them or make the quests so you can interact to be able to attune to them or repair them and attune to them in Hinterlands< cause you do or did see some destroyed ones in some places?

Sprint needs some kind of change, or some new ability for town running/and or when not in combat. I do not understand the need to increase the cool down, no reason for that change.

I"ve already said something about sprint should only be affected by combat in Post #33 and Post #45

Make Sprint durability longer if on Ninja

Just no NIN already has their movement speed trait!

Just adding support, more people that speak out, more chance for change.

Ya ever heard of balance?

Yes, it is a nice AST buff, really useful!

2018, in the extension after Stormblood, all outdoor maps are boring straight lines corridors without any imagination, liberty and identity, like in a shitty corean f2p. Same for all the towns.

The players : "devs, why you do this ? You used to design so much better maps !"
The devs : "well, players were not caring anyway, they all want to speedrun everything by going from point A to point B instantly, not looking at anything around them."
The players : "that's not true !"
The devs : "you mean, like when we stopped to do multi paths donjons because you were all running them in the shortest straight line ?"
The players : "..."
The devs : "see, why should we bother to do nice things ?"

Player A: Walking around towns with no teleports is not fun.
Player B: We can sprint.
Devs: You have sprint.
Player A: But It only last a few seconds..
Devs: OK we will add aetheryte crystals.

Player A: Walking in outdoors is no fun.
Player B: We can sprint.
Devs: You have sprint.
Player A: But It only last a few seconds..
Devs: OK we will add aetheryte crystals and mounts.

Player A: We love the teleports and mounts but the mounts are too slow.
Player B: My mount speed is just fine.
Devs: Ok we will make the mounts faster.
Player A: Wow, this is awesome.
Player B: Wow, this is awesome, I don't know why I was happy before.

Player A: We love the teleports and mounts, the mounts are so fast.
Player B: Yeah, thanks for that devs.
Devs: /smiles

Player A: We love the atmosphere but feel a better sprint would make interactions more smooth and fun.
Player B: Why do you want a faster longer lasting sprint? You can't enjoy the scenery if you move too fast.
Player A: I still enjoy the scenery when I want, but when I don't want to that is what teleports are for.
Devs: /listens to both feedbacks.

What happens next?

How about we remove moving out of combat completely from the game? You get a map and can click and you will teleported to the location of your choice. But clicking is kinda annoying as well after some time, so maybe we can have a menu based navigation? The menues could show pictures in the background of the areas we would be footslogging through, just to keep a little bit of immersion up. But not too much, that is scary and uncomfortable.
