    I think Sprint is fine, but instead of draining all your TP instantly for a duration based on TP consumed/50, it should just drain 50 TP per second while you are spriniting and stop when you used the sprint skill again or stop moving..

    Either way would get you a max of 20 seconds of sprinting.

    Pretty sure they thought of that, and preferred the current way so that it's not feasible at all to use it in battle scenarios. A drain would make it possible to use in battle. Full TP consumption makes it a no-brainer to never use if you expect to engage something soon.

    You're right, they think of everything. Thats why 1.0 had a perfect launch.

    Different team. Old argument. C'mon... Besides, regardless of whether they thought about it or not, the reason, as I just mentioned it, is obvious.

    Also why they still need alpha and beta testing for player feedback, incase they missed some great ideas.

    Well... duh? Alpha and Beta testing is quite standard. I'm not saying we, the players, can't or should't give them ideas Reika. No need to get passive aggressive/defensive/sarcastic. To put it bluntly, just saying your idea wasn't particularly clever, or good.

    I just don't like it when people say 'they probably already thought of that' because theres a good chance that they didn't.

    or you can just shoot down every idea you put out the moment you put it out, because they probably already thought of it :/

    This is how they ought to do it.

    Would make battle a little more dynamic, dodging stuff faster, and saving TP in order to do it. Use the TP like it is a stamina gauge and you can toggle sprint whenever you want as long as you have TP and un-toggle it whenever as well.

    50 TP is not enough. It should be 100 TP each second (you gain 100 TP each 3 second outside of battle, after all)

    How long is the cool down from sprint? There is no cool down timer for this ability in the video

    It has a cooldown, but just isnt listed under the tooltip for whatever reason. When he uses it, you see the icon do the cooldown clock animation slowly. its probably 25 or 30 seconds.

    If it were made to be TP drain while sprinting, TP regain could be stopped while sprinting so it wouldnt end up being an infinite sprint.
