Sprint Buff With Zero Cooldown In Cities To Balance Lack Of Mounts :MegaThread:

[Mr_Happy]

I understand the "want" for these changes, but they really aren't necessary. We already have aethernet shards all over. Usually, the distance from wherever you are, to wherever you are going is accomplished within 20 seconds. Sometimes it does take longer... and so what if it does?

I know others don't like saying it... but swap to a job with peloton or movement speed increases if it is that big of a hassle.

I don't agree with collision detection. Everybody should already have a mapped hotkey for "target nearest NPC." The "crowding of NPCs" is only a problem for players that don't map something to handle that function.

You make a great point I will add that into the edits!

That hotkey largely eliminates the main issue players have been complaining about regarding mounts in cities.

All the other major games are fine with it so I believe many players are creating imaginary issues that simply do not exist around mounts in cities because they have not experienced it in other games. Either way suggesting mounts in cities gets flamed in the most toxic way... **Gasp** rofl

I would happily settle for a PVP toggle though, seems like a fair middle ground to me.

Geeze, perhaps the devs shouldn't take the GD's suggestions to heart. lmao

Psst!

While you wait for things to change:

• Unlock Bard for Peloton (20%)

or;

• Unlock Blue Mage and unlock Moon Flute (30%)

You're welcome!

Always wanted to play a bard <3

that's only the second (third / fourth / fifth) time bard was mentioned

I can kinda see why they don't allow mounts in the cities, as some other players are complaining about lag already inside the major cities. Def would not make things better in that regard lmao

Toggle sprint would work just fine though

I dont really see a downside in adding this. Make the change!

Thank you for the support!

Sure why not, SWTOR has a similar toggle too: it turns off when in combat and automatically turns on when you're out. Works in dungeons as well.

It's still slower than a mount, but useful enough to be used anytime you can't or don't want to use a mount.

I only see benefits here and PVP has already a similar toggle sprint. Just make it work elsewhere and you're good to go.

The problem with making it a toggle outside of PvP is how many fights are designed around players having access to it. There would need to be two sprints; a toggle that remains active permanently outside of combat, and short duration, short cooldown burst of speed that works in combat.
