Sprint Bar
 

Why not have add sprinting to the game? I guarantee it would make things interesting. This could work by simply having a small bar at the top right corner of the screen. Sprinting could be activated by double tapping the movement d-pad. If your sprint bar falls low you could simply eat food or wait a short period of time. I think this would be cool if you needed to quickly escape a scene or just to make a quick transportation. If your like me and have many items in your inventory you know that digging through your inventory to find a skateboard or car keys isn't always the quickest thing. I know this idea sounds a little bit like the concept of the sprint meter in minecraft, just thought I might bring this idea to the table though. Another idea would just be the ability to store skateboards and car keys in your quick tap bar, I hate having to open up my inventory and possibly get killed just to have something equipped for a short period of time. There would also be areas were sprinting could be disabled, for example maybe inside of buildings like the hospital. It would also have to be disabled in events because it wouldn't be fair in races. If you are in the water you could also do a adrenaline rush and swim through the water faster. If this is used too much you could potentially get cramps taking down a small amount of health. I just think gameplay would be a little bit better if any of these ideas was added, thank you! :)

Yes!

Sounds like Grand theft auto.

lol true! and this idea seems pretty good imo

nabu you are genius lol

just seemed like a idea everyone could benefit from

i like this...
and it will add alot to combat as well.


blur effect while sprinting lol

The bar should drain quickly, so you can only do it in short bursts.

Atrius(An old graal PC server) had sprinting.
It was alright.

We're in the process of adding a gym to enhance this aspect of gameplay.
Im curious to see what kind of input this idea gets though.

Sounds cool, but could get annoying when your prey is running away from you.

I was just going to suggest this, but you beat me to it. Anyways, it's useful because when you're enemy runs, you can't catch up because you have the same speed.

It wouldn't be a very long term thing, I was thinking more like what laz said. The sprinting ability would be a very short term thing, it would drain quickly and have let's say a 10 second regeneration. It wouldn't just be where everyone is flying around the map, yah you could escape a close combat situation but you wouldn't get too far in terms of how long the ability itself lasts.

it should actually be a thing you have to earn or get from an auction since credit card's make you succeed the game

You're making it worst.

No.

This gave me an ulcer...

This is really good idea, I think it would be interesting to see if implemented.

You should only be able to use it once every 10 minutes if this were added. And lasts 10-30 seconds. That way people use it wisely and aren't just zooming around. And as meph said the gym update is coming

10 minutes is abit drastic, 1 minute for a 15 secound sprint shouldnt be to bad, if
They were to consider. Imo we don't need it, i mean if you were a streaker youd be annoyed if you died from someone sprinting at you with a melee and a basers who have people sprinting back into the flag room in secounds. Meph wanted a player movement boost anyway, thats permanent, so it wont be needed if the gym implements it.

We are? Kinda gay ~ xD now all the noobies will get owned

I was thinking of considering sprint the same way there is "Draft" in NFS shift I think, It's not called draft maybe.
It's more like "Tab the button when it reaches green to be the quickest!!" sort of thing, when I finish my current work I'll try to script it on dev.

Edit : it's called "Drag".

Probably won't get added, but fun to try anyway :p

... Flag rushers... they will be everywhere and a bitch to kill...:\

Love to see this implemented! About restoring it though, if your in a base, and your health is low, you're getting a double-whammy. You get healed, plus your sprint is restored. Players could abuse this. Just a thought, maybe it could re-generate by itself, that way, you could place a cap on all players, stop them using it excessively.

Ah, you share air resistance (a.k.a drag) which speeds you up when walking behind a player, when you move away from them, you get the speed boost. Clever.

Lol

Yeah.

Youknow, iEra surprised me- some players can actually hit me three times at the improved walk speed.

They'll come along. The majority will be blown away by the skill required with slightly faster movement, but they'll come around, learn to use it, get better than they ever thought imaginable, and be thankful later.

It will also resolve half of the gun complaints I receive.

I'd rather just a speed and health buff for everyone automatically.

Original answer is original.

Me too.

yesh!

Simple fix with the whole basing part, simply disable the ability in a base or just have a very short burst of energy when inside a base. The bar would not restore upon dying though, it would require one going to the hospital, because people usually have somewhere to go when they die and go to the hospital, restoring it upon death would make the trip just a little bit faster!

This could work with the gym idea. Maybe the gym could give you extra stamina, but not much, maybe add two seconds.
