Sprint Buff With Zero Cooldown In Cities To Balance Lack Of Mounts :MegaThread:

[NekoMataMata]

honestly, I would rather see time spent on QoL improvements like fixing Viera and Hrothgar than something that shaves off a second or two. I was not saying they were invalid at all, I was contributing to the thread by trying to express why it was not a huge QoL improvement given other long standing issues that people playing those races see every time they log in. I am certainly not thinking I am a victim, shaving off seconds in town isnt going to improve my gaming existence, but for you, obviously it would. So, I certainly hope they address it since it means that much to you and the OP. The viera and hrothgar wont mind, they have been waiting for ages already, whats a bit more time? ^^

And now you're trying to paint this as a conflict of interest with other updates that people want, when really it isn't. If it really was a conflict of interest, then that would also mean that other QoL updates that people wanted and many other updates people want in general are also conflicts of interests, which I don't think is the case.

What's with this pushback? You're trying literally any angle to shut them down. It's just a toggled Sprint in cities.

Thank you for calling out this pettiness.

Perma sprint in City or on your Isle would be a huge improvement. Maybe on all no-combat areas. Maybe allow Mounts on really great City like Sharlayan ~_~

I take comfort knowing I can trust the team not to do this.

We--..No, I don't need it. But I also wouldn't mind to have it.

I'll just use when I want to & walk leisurely when I want to, great. Then we got an option: consider me agreeing with you!

Give us PvP Sprint while out of combat and instances, toggle on, falls off if you take any action, and as a bonus point, action changes to normal Sprint while in places you can't use toggable sprint, that's all I'd want.

Yes please this is something I have been wanting as it makes sense to add, and also on our Island sanctuary it annoys me having to keep clicking it on.

having to switch to a class just to move around a city is janky lol

True and I don't think it's reasonable to ask people to switch class for a speed boost. Perma-sprint would be the best solution imo.
Anyone who has been playing for a while will remember that the cool-down on sprint used to be much much shorter. They changed it when they enabled sprint in instances. Obviously perma-sprint in combat is a bad idea, but the longer cool-down did slow us down when it comes to getting around outside.

As to the Aetherytes, sorry, I don't agree. I think the system is fine as is. There's a mini crystal conveniently located in all main areas of the cities it's just a case of learning where they are. The only one I have an issue with is the Botanist Guild in Gridania which is about as far as you can get from the Guildmaster and the quest-givers (why Square?).

I remember thinking that the PvP sprint would be perfect for the Island, but it would be great for cities as well.

As someone who loves Vieras I don't think this will impact their improvements in any way. The players can speak for themselves and anyone can take a second to get that the same people aren't involved.

i love the argument of "it'll only save a few seconds"

Yes, Every single time it happens, for every player that uses it, it will quickly save a LOT of time and add up quite a bit over the long run

I love your YouTube vids sir, Mondays with Mr Happy is a great series, plus your VS vids & State of The Realm Podcast with Sly is cool.

I understand the "want" for these changes, but they really aren't necessary. We already have aethernet shards all over. Usually, the distance from wherever you are, to wherever you are going is accomplished within 20 seconds. Sometimes it does take longer... and so what if it does?

I know others don't like saying it... but swap to a job with peloton or movement speed increases if it is that big of a hassle.

I don't agree with collision detection. Everybody should already have a mapped hotkey for "target nearest NPC." The "crowding of NPCs" is only a problem for players that don't map something to handle that function.
