SUGGESTION New RUN System/Change for Player's

[NasaX]

I was wondering why we don't have a nicer character RUN system and we got just a RUN button

So my suggestion is to change the run system of the player character:
- change the rune time into a stamina bar.
- duration of rune time
- bind the run button to SHIFT or CTRL by default
- and because it is a stamina bar now if it is not fully consumed it shud stop when releasing the run button and go on a shorter cooldown because of it.

Wouldn't work. We use ctrl and shift as modifiers to activate buttons on hotbars.

This system is great in games where you have 2-4 attack buttons. Not 34

You are limiting yourself to CONTROL and SHIFT you don't see any other buttons on the keyboard.
If CONTROl of SHIFT is not ok then "Z" or "X".

And Valkyrie_Lenneth did you thot about using YGHJ instead of WASD ? I know ppl that do just so they heave more kye's around their fingers and don't need so many macros or they can use keys around their finger to do more macros.
You are dismissing my Suggestion because some ppl including me atm are using SHIFT and CONTROL to bind it with the number keys.

How will shift help you as a run button if your hand is halfway across the keyboard?

This just sounds like an idea born from playing action-y games. It doesn't translate well to XIV. Sprint works fine, no need to change it.

WASD is also more comfortable. My hands wont sit on YGHJ with my setup. That just would be incredibly uncomfortable. Plus, I don't have the finger dexterity to push every button around my hand WHILE moving and doing mechanics.

IMO yes, a sprint button tied to stamina (old TP system) nice to have.. system currently we have often wasted because I have to run for 1-3 sec.. and rest of CD wasted.
But everyone have different taste it is probably not okay for some people.. I can live without it

About key bind you can change it. But I use Shift + Key combination for skills.

What does this add except another layer of complexity? Why is this good and better than a sprint button for out of combat, and a brief class based spring in combat?

It gives more control compared to default sprint, you can sprint at will assuming you have stamina, same as normal sprint turn on / off pressing sprint skill.
It can be useful in raids like p3s, because of mechanics player have to repeatedly center / corner, spread / stack.

Considering weird movement latency it is probably not going to happen but nice idea :3

Stamina sprint is the best there is. Probably would be god awful to use here due to slow response times

[Havenchild]

While it seems like a good idea, I think with the way the game is designed atm, it would invalidate alot of mechanics. I imagine they nerfed Expedient for a similar reason.

We had a stamina kind of bar, called the TP bar. It got removed. So prop not a chance in hell for a stamina bar to be added.
