[dev 1078] Sprint

Good Morning

I thought it would be a good idea to add a sprint ability. This would be an ability useable by all classes.

Basically it would let you move at an increased speed for a short duration with a reset timer.

Could even make it an ability gained from a quest, maybe something along the lines of running to a far away camp in a certain time limit.

well there is a "quick" ability already in game. I think it's quickstride for the archers. So there is no point in giving it to everyone. With the incoming addition of mounts (chocobo I guess) and other transportation, that would be even more pointless to give to all classes. I'd rather see it as a spell like the chocobo mazurka that some jobs could have to affect the whole group than giving everyone the possibility of having that spell.

ooh nice idea!, quick isn't the solution, bc it have a lot of delay, the sprint idea is for short runs and less delay. It would be used to evade enemy skills or attacks =)
nice nice =D

And while you are at it, add a Jump button already.
It's ridiculous to be glued to the ground like a 10-ton Elephant.

I have no issues with jump at all, in fact I think it could be a nice addition to the game if implemented properly.

If they go back and fix environment collision detection, jump would be very nice and useful tool to navigate the world. It would certainly compliment the sprint feature.

Imagine your running out of town, headed to a camp. Theres so many obstacles in your way, you see some thick shrubs coming up so you jump over them so they dont slow you down. Now your coming up on some trees so you hit your sprint button and start weaving in and out. Or perhaps your wading through a fast current river which would slow you down so you hit your sprint to counter the effect.
