Sprint Suggestion - Phoenix Freeshard

Just an idea, but would be nice, could we change sprint to a toggle on or off? I've always found it fairly annoying on this game that it starts up fading.

Not a big deal, I've had many years to get used to the way it is, but I could see it being a nice QoL change since it's kinda just dumb.

Not sure what you mean, it is a toggle right now, you hit the keybind and it says you are sprinting and your endurance is draining, you hit it again and it says you are no longer ready to sprint and the drain stops. This is already a toggle, on/off 1 or a 0, that's a toggle.

He probably means sprint automatically goes off when standing still for a bit of time. I guess he wants it to be only a toggle and when you turn it on you will always be sprinting, no matter for how long you stood still etc.

Not losing sprint after standing still would be nice. Much smoother rebuffing afk breaks without having to wait for afks to get back to sprint would be nice.

I wouldn’t mind a little UI box that shows the icon when sprint is on so I don’t have to find it in my buffs/debuffs...
it’s never been that big of deal tho, plays into skill cap a bit

It does involve some skill i guess, being rooted,stunned,mezzed and forgetting to sprint again when you can move again gets ppl killed or lets people kite away all the time.

So make Sprint a chant?

Yea really isn't a big deal, it just seems like a more tedious in fight mechanic to maintain for no real reason. An on/off switch seems more reasonable.

Makes much more sense to me now thanks. Yeah this would be cool mostly as others said for the AFKs losing stick. I wonder though this is one of those things that feels like its beyond a simple change but here's hoping I'm wrong and its some simple removal of a line of coding that removes the sprint pulse after a delay in movement.

It's not just AFKs that lose /stick, it's anybody that doesn't hit their Spring key fast enough. It's easy to happen when the team needs to quickly move from the area. "Loop" might be one of the most used terms in the frontier.
