[dev1032] Stamina.Improvement or Step back?

[Zkieve]

While i am currently very accustomed to using stamina by now,I Always thought a "stamina" bar was more from an action orientated game rather than a rpg .

I have even made suggestions to make the combat more "action orientated" based on how stamina works plus a few extra points.

Right now im kinda split about stamina.I play glad , and i find myself most of the time measuring my stamina over anything else.Specially at times when i must hold-hate-no-matter-what, i stop doing anything, because im afraid to need the stamina and have used it on a heavy stab.Sure we have couple of hate moves that dont use stamina , but thats not the point.

I only put glad as an example, i have experimented this same problems all over the classes.

Im watching my stamina bar over everything else.I play with a controler and i end up pressing the action commands so slowly to conserve stamina it gets kinda boring after a while.

I would love to hear ideas on the subject , i find it peculiar there is not a thread about this already .If there is , my apologies.

Personally, idc if it stays or goes. I'm fine with it...except when it glitches. lol

I personally think that stamina is a extra and unnecessary limiter on every thing except the base attacks.

If they add auto attack they can probably remove stamina I would say. Just lower the tp gain per hit and make it similar to the FFXI system where TP limits the amount of WS you can do in a row.

I see nothing wrong with the system though as it is.

Hi, i hit things with an axe.

Every single one of my moves takes:
1. Stamina
2. TP
3. Has a cool down

It's like they smashed together every WoW class defining energy bar.
It's all so very unnecessary.

I agree stamina + auto attack would be definitely be awkward .
edit; i wonder if the devs mind on the subject is auto attack (yes) = stamina (no)?¿.
personally never cared about auto attack , but now that you say it it would be difficult to introduce it with stamina , or at least i would think so.If the solution to get rid of stamina is an auto attack i would welcome it.

Would be cool if it increased as your rank/P.lvl got higher. But it doesnt... same for the item slots (rings,necklace, braclets).. Its just under-developed, like a lot of the systems.

If they just showed some sort of progression, like..
"Hey I got rank45, I can now do 10 attacks in a row with out fully depleting my stanima bar! {All Right!}"

"Awesome R30 my item slots are at 15/15 now!"

Think people, and typically rpg players, enjoy when they broaden their own horizons through time and effort.

One of the best things I've read on these forums.

Good critical analysis of one of the games biggest problems.
