Sprint Ability

[Wolfie]

I was expecting something like this. Go ahead, get it out of your system.

It's that you have to perform a repetitive action an unlimited number of times, just to run, that is the pain in the ass.

You normally run, you don't need to sprint everywhere you go. Take your ritalin and chill, it's okay if you get there 10 seconds later.

I think the ideas here being presented are note-worthy for the developers to take interest!

I for one use sprinting a lot in any game that I play and take advantage of it to the fullest.

With that being said, I'd like to have a feel for it myself if it was mapped to the R3/L3, since I generally prefer the LB method like in Skyrim or a few other titles, but I would not mind it in the slightest if it were tweaked to be a passive L3 triggered ability.

I'm glad you brought this topic to our attention, because I'm sure many others playing might end up feeling the same way as well, and I think it's good to discuss these things about the alpha so it makes the players and devs job, at the same time, much easier.

So I say, keep discussing what the best method is and hopefully we get some interesting responses and feedback!

To me, I honestly feel it's not really an issue, Sure it takes up (1 block). but it's really not in my way it's just there for when I need to "Sprint" because I don't feel like walk/normal running.

But I do agree it could be a passive ability so it won't be in the way, but it's not game-breaking or annoying

Can't... tell if serious.

I was gonna reply to your little comment on Rein's thread saying:

I thought you only posted when you had bad ideas or jumped to misconceived conclusions.

Then I saw this thread. One can imagine my expression upon seeing this thread.

side note: L3 is used all the time for sprinting in FPS games while you control the camera with the Right analog stick.

Ah, so pressing it not only toggles sprint, it makes you run forward without tilting the left stick? Carry on then, this is just my ignorance as not much of a console player.

why do you want sprint as combat ability? is it that hard just to click it?

It's a combat ability right now. It sounds like you're confused about what I posted.

In an FPS, L3 makes you run faster by toggle but you still have to use the left stick to control your movement. So no.

The cool down for Sprint is long enough that it would actually be a WASTE to have it mapped to a button...

[Neptune]

Huh ?

Dont care. Have chocobo. End of discussion.

because you can put it on action bar, it doesnt mean you will gonna use it for battle....heck even return can be put on the action bar...
