Sprint Ability

[whoopeeragon]

Also for your accounts sake I hope those are screencaps from the video or something, otherwise posting pictures of your own from alpha on imgur is a bantastic offense.

Some people like Raven_Reborn will probably say that Yoshi-P lets us post our own pictures of alpha everywhere else on the net. All on the alpha forums of course, so us lurkers don't know true or false.

But as to Neptune's pictures, they were from the video. So no breaches there.

In the video, your TP is recovering as soon as you use sprint. You can run 25 yalms and simply stop before you attack something if you arent full yet. Same with Steady drain sprinting, even tho your TP wont be regenerating while you are sprinting.

25 yalm would be 5 second normal running. So you said "use sprint, run for 2 sec, wait 16,5 second until yor Tp is full again"
I say "just run the normal way for 5 second and beginn the battle with full TP"

1000 TP for 20 seconds max sprinting with 30 second cooldown, TP regenerates while sprinting. You have to wait 10 seconds after sprinting ends to sprint again. This mode also forces you to be in sprint mode for the whole x seconds. What If you just want to sprint for 2 seconds. 1000 tp for 2 seconds of sprinting doesnt sound cool.

Nobody force you to use it for only a 2 sec sprint. Use it tactical and just run normal for this short time periode.

The difference between the two, that I meantioned earlier, is that DoW classes wont be penalized at all from using sprint at any time, because they dont use TP. They will have no problem using 1000 tp in one shot, because their attacks come from MP. DoW classses however would be screwed from using 1000 tp in one shot, especially during battle where it is not recovering as fast.

Don't use it during battle or just to flee. Be sure to have 250 TP or more to use it for flee. This should be 5 second sprint.

Why is this an issue? Seriously, I don't get it. For long distance, on-foot travel you'll use mounts. For short distance on-foot travel you'll use sprint/run. In dungeons, due to the TP part of the ability it probably won't be viable to use outside of a few situations, at least I hope we're not running all the way through dungeons ignoring everything again.

There are situation where you have to run in dungeons.
Party die at the end boss, everyone use return. Then the Bard use Swiftsong, the Monks turn on the wind aura and the run to the end boss beginn.

So if i were on a mage class, sprinting during battle and having my TP reduced to 0 will have no negative effect on me as apposed to losing WS resorce on a DoW class. But this is totally cool?


Ok then, new suggestion. Sprint should use All MP as well as All TP. Or no MP, no TP, cooldown increased to 2 min.

Hmm, make Spells cost MP&TP would be much better.
Like Heal 2: MP 90, TP 100

Or push MP and TP in one and call it SP (Skill Points) like in Ragnarok online. It would be for physical and magical skills

I think if you could the sprint key to any key you wish (besides set keys) then people could play which ever way they feel suits them rather it is Numkey Pad or Controller ect. I like the sprint idea. Though personal I don't like the anima system they have in place unless they restrict it. I like the feeling of getting people to explore to make the world feel more alive instead of running around and seeing no activity, but that is a personal opinion. So I would rather have a sprint instead of anima.

its just a sprint button. -_-

He must think people will be some kind of gods or something by doing it the other way, or ignoring the fact that steady drain sprint still uses TP in my examples, the same amount of tp as All-TP sprint would. Using the one-shot sprint in battle takes all your tp down to 0 from wherever it was at, giving you x seconds of sprtin. Using the steady drain sprint would steadily drain your tp with no regen until you stop sprinting. In either case that tp would have gone to weaponskills, but instead went towards running away.

What I really want to know is what THEY want sprint to be used for. I havent heard anything of the sort from the horses mouth yet. Just a lot of assuming one knows what they want it to be used for.

This was a player request from a long time ago we wanted faster movement in towns by wearing movement speed items like in XI, so Yoshi-p said he would look into it, then he later commented about a sprint skill but also said would not be possible in 1.0 or w/e.

Thats one of the reasons why it should be a steady drain instead of an all-at-once skill.

Exactly, that is why I gave an example of a possible scenario that might prove to be frustrating, even using the controller or on the console.

After watching the vid again this whole post is stupid , the swirl you get around your feet looks no different than swiftsong/Flee from XIV/XI. Only legit complaint i see is why make it cost tp instead of just having a CD on it.

Not the addition of sprint itself, its method of implimentation.
