Sprint Ability

[Toxsik]

Okay I am playing SWTOR now since I have yet to actually get into alpha and its not the same... on SWTOR you turn it on and it is always on while your are not engaged in combat. As far as I can see on ARR looks like its something you use and it only last like 10-15 secs? then ends. so already its a little different.

However I would like to see it mapped to L3 on a controller, or be able to map it to a key, because I too agree that it needs no place on the action bar.

... also making auto activate don't work to me as well because sometimes I man not want to move fast in town or hanging out with friends in game. It should function mostly as a "Oh sh*t!, FLEE!" type of thing.

I have never seen so many useless forum threads in a long time I hope Yoshi-P is ignoring the English forums right now lol...I don't like back peddling, lets talk about sprint, the game is to flashy, post less boring videos.... LIKE really guys go find something to do whole crap.

I know man!! People judging things based on videos especially when said videos say the content will probably be changed for beta haha

It's somewhat frustrating not being able to uh..say more things about these topics..except that ppl really should play the alpha before making these kinds of threads >.<

I can't believe this forum is still infested with people who think like this. Was 1.0 not enough for you? Was yoshi-p saying this behavior is stupid not enough for you?

You should never assume that something will be changed. You have to give feedback. That's the fucking purpose of the forums. It's not useless. This is gameplay feedback too. The functionality of sprint and the movement systems especially deserve feedback.

You know what's actually useless? people saying "it will probably be changed" or "you just need something to do"

its not a problem, what feedback needed?

I don't totally agree with everything the OP said but that doesn't mean I don't think their implementation of sprint can't be improved.

I completely agree; thanks for posting this. And infested is a good choice of words.

Are you seriously complaining about an ability that let's you run faster..?
There's nothing bad you can say that would make a valid point for this thread.. extra action bar slots, macros or hotkeys options alone male your argument a waste of time & I hope yoshi is ignoring all the retarded threads questioning things in alpha videos that are still under development.

So the very essence of this complaint, according to the OP, is that the Sprint button is a pain because of it's positioning within the action bar. Okay. Apparently to make the most of it Sprint would need to be located within slots 1-5 for ease of use and convenience... Fair enough. I can sort of see where you're coming from.

But at the same time this seems a moot point.

Not only are there more slots than we are previously used to anyway, there are also 3 action bars available onscreen at any given time - if it bothers you, apply Sprint to slots Shift 1-5 or Alt 1-5 - which are no less easier to use with just one hand (although Alt+ is admittedly easier than Ctrl+) and makes your favored 1-5 slots wholly available.

If anything I would actually increase the cooldown on Sprint so as to make its use less repetitive and more strategic, because as people rightly pointed out, if it's pretty much constantly available we may as well just constantly move at that speed without the need for Sprint. Additionally, the TP shouldn't restore whilst Sprint is active - it's pointless that Sprint uses all your TP but a few seconds later, you have 1000 TP back anyway. These changes will make it a more strategic mechanic, such as escaping the wrath of dangerous enemies, rather than a spammy gimmick.
