    To me it looks like all you have to do is hit the = button and your golden to sprint. (which i like how they added the - and = keys to the command list. So as far as it being a pain i don't think its a big deal. as long as they have a button set up for it on the the controller it's golden.

    But I hate the way it looks. I'm not talking about the unfinished alpha animations but that just to sprint its made such a big deal that your body is surrounded by a huge energy burst of light like your turning Super Saiyan or something. its not a huge thing but it does bug me. i would rather just not have that because it feels a bit to over the top for just a sprint.

    Otherwise i love the fact that you can sprint! That was my biggest peeve of 1.0 it often took quite some time just to travel to places on occasion. but i hope this doesn't take away the ARC abillity swift song.

The fact is, you are too stupid to look at this with a broad enough perspective to see the issues, because you're only looking at it from one perspective. I very rarely want to call someone stupid, but you are belligerent enough to get it out of me. I set out in my original post the reasons it was inconvenient to ME, and a few others agreed. Just because you play different (i.e. don't plan on using this ability) does not mean that it is inconvenient to use repetitively. You are very small minded because you can't see the benefit in going into excruciating detail on the small things to make sure the bigger picture is the best it can be. Why do you think this company is not successful?

    I like how you said the battle system and gear sets are much more worthy of feedback. That's just an example of you trying to prioritize a discussion, in a thread about the discussion of something else. The fact is, the small things are easier to get right. There's room for discussion about all aspects of the game here. There's no need for you to waste our time telling us what's worth talking about and what's not.
    Lovely post as always Neptune. Really showing some character. Stay classy.

    Having it toggle with a steady drain would make it possible to activate feasibly during combat as a means to increase mobility. That'd throw battle balance into a frenzy, not to mention making the Sprint ability something to be used in a way that is not its intention.

    You can't understand something so simple, yet you call me stupid.

    P.S: Having access to Alpha doesn't mean one necessarily stops posting here. Worth mentioning. Just a thought.
