[dev1016] Not stopping to draw a weapon and go into "active mode"

[Alexis_Arteme]

While we're on the subject of overhauling the battle system, am I the only one that would really, really like to be able to not have to completely stop to draw my weapon or put it away?

I would just love to be able to charge rodent x, draw my weapon and show it the world of pain it clearly deserves with the jarring transition.

Simple request, I would hope simple fix. I don't know if anyone else feels the same.

p.s. I sincerely apologize if this has been posted, I ran a search and didn't see anything, which honestly was rather surprising.

+1 to not stopping to draw or put away weapons.

I think they could reduce the delay that it takes to perform the action, such as they did with gathering actions. I don't know about not stopping at all.

oh god please yes! being able to move while switching between active and passive modes is one of my biggest wishes, and the stopping thing REALLY gets on my nerves!

Unfortunately it probably won't be a "simple" fix, almost nothing is ever "simple". They'd have to redo animations for it to make it look good, and that takes quite a bit of work.

This is probably true, but to be perfectly honest I would gladly welcome a minor hiccup in the animation if it meant I didn't have to stop to draw/sheath my weapon...

Quickstride is pointless as it is to get away from agro. By the time I pull out my weapon, and do whatever grunt/fart move that is to pop the ability I am pretty much dead. Better off to just run at normal speed and see what happens.

ummmm every game makes you stop to draw your weapon. >.> even ffxi and WoW. Name 1 rpg that doesn't make you stop a sec then I'll eat my worlds And I need a vid link of it.

ffxi did not require you to pull out your weapon to do every ability. You could cast and do job abilities without being in "attack" mode. ffxiv requires "active mode" to do anything. If you agro in ffxi, pop off flee and zoom away. No stopping to crap your pants first.

any instant attack will draw your weapon as a part of the attack

really we're not even asking for that, we just wanna be able to draw while running.
