Unlimited Sprint outside of Combat or Combat Zones.

[Rakiria]

I'm leveling a lot of alts. (I just like making pretty charactersa lot, can't waste having made them). That means I know awfully well how annoying it is to have this huge sprint cooldown on you. You can teleport in cities. After unlocking the aetherytes. You can use mounts. After level 20, when you're not in a city. And some things you can't use aetherytes or mounts for (read: Miounne, and running between her and whatever other place constantly).
Hell, you don't even have to be new. Just gather. sure you can mount up all the time but it's not the best experience. Do anything where you have to run between to people multiple times. Supply leves, the people don't stand right at the aetheryte but you can't sprint in cities. Or just have slow internet, so going from point a to point b on a city map is still faster than teleporting.
It would do literally no harm to anyone to at least make sprint a little better. The only reason speaking against it is "Well I can use mounts and I don't do anything I'd have to use sprint for, so you're just out of luck".

Omg people got so impatient on everything to the point they now want perma-sprint... next step will be quests with instant teleport to quest places.

Tbh quests are a ballache, I'd rather they just deleted them and give the rewards instantly.
I'm only half-joking btw.

Y'know, as someone still doing new people quests around towns and not wanting to mount for every time I wander a field map, the Sprint nerf hurts my experience and the time between sprints is long enough to be frustrating to all my friends who have tried the game out.

That said, we dont really need an unlimited sprint either. I was fine with how it was before. With the old cooldown it was 1:1 sprinting to cooldown, so you were sprinting half the time. I don’t have any real issue with that. As it is now, though, you're spending what, 1/4th of the time sprinting and the rest on cooldown? A 1:3 split? This almost makes sprint kinda worthless for my important NPC delivery service I'm running here, so maybe a compromise between the current way Sprint works and the old way.

If you do not have full TP, sprint works as it does.
If you do have full TP, Sprint consumes half your TP and doubles the Sprint duration.

Maybe a caveat that sprint only does the second outside of instanced areas, I dunno, but where I'm at in the game TP consumption doesnt really hurt me in fields and definitely doesnt in towns. This also allows Hermes Shoes to continue to work as intended and brings Sprint back to that 1:1 ratio.

Well, anyway, I'm some dumb newish player who has not done content past lv 30 yet. Maybe this is a bad idea for some reason. But as I see it, this is a compromise that keeps all the benefits for thier usage scenarios (competitive or w/e people wanted TP vs Hydaelyn's Delivery Service of Light LLC).

I think the more if's we add, the more it could add problems in the game.

I could be wrong but I think the premise behind this thread is wanting less button clicks and a better sprint.

Now it's either walking most of the time or mounting/dismounting before that gather or talk and after it.

It's like having to get on a horse to go from your bed to the bathroom, get off horse, use bathroom, get back on horse, go to bed, get off the horse, lay down.

Couldn't it be so much simpler? Hermes shoes could have the effect changed so they still get a boon.

the enemies that cast heavy on you

You'll sometimes only get Heavy if you are on a Mount so if you think you'll get hit just dismount and then sprint then mount again. And if a healer hit with heavy dismount use Esuna then sprint, then mount when possible!

And I really just want the normal cooldown for sprint like it was in 2.0 and 3.0 and it will only have this effect while out of combat! And 4.0 sprint while in combat or while in PvP it wouldn't change in PVP. (the spring not costing TP is good but the CD it too. (I don't care of anything unlimited) and with mount speed upgrades mounts are even better now, but I still just want the normal sprint CD back!

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.

i dont see why they should do it , since players want always more and more and faster and faster , to the point wher it becomes useless , and one will just get bored ^^

i believe players have a right to demand either change or more content, then live with the consequences if they feel as if there are any. making it sound like a bad thing is not going to change their minds, nor should it change mine.

it has never stopped, nor is it going to ever.

Ya ever heard of balance? Like, that thing where it's not good if something too much one way but it's also bad if it's too much the other?

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.

Make Sprint durability longer if on Ninja
