New Crouch Dialog Controls Should Be Togglable

I accidentally talk to an NPC and suddenly I'm slowed and have to spam shift to escape. I get that this is useful for skipping quest cut scenes, but please let us toggle it or something. I strongly preferred the old way.

 

You can just keep pressing shift and it will advance the dialogue without you having to spam it, basically skipping it

 

this still takes more time to skip though text than the old dialog system, you get slowness the whole time, and the shift key is more out of the way than the mouse buttons.

can’t post links.

 

In many cases it wasn't faster before because there were delays right after each dialogue lines (usually around 5s) (but not in all of the dialogues tho) which you can skip now, if you keep shift pressed, you can woosh through them. We are still tweaking where and when the zoom should be and it will be more standardized over time so it's just used when it makes the most sense (for example, when in a peaceful areas talking to a npc)

 

from my experience, the quests with delay were vastly outnumbered by the ones where you could hold right click for .5 seconds and be through the entire dialogue

It's really the slowness and sneaking combined that I have a big problem with, lots of random lore npcs around the world will give you slowness if you click near them
an autoskip function and removing the slowness would work fine for me.

 

It's something we are looking into, for example the gathering posts should be changed to not have slowness soontm

 

Just holding down shift acts the same as the old way, you don't have to press once for every message

 

Just a quick question, why do you get slowness when in a dialongue? Is it supposed to be like a zoom function? I play with dynamic fov off because high walkspeed build, so I wouldn’t know if that improves the experience or something, all I know was that I was doing tower of ascention with a galloping spurs build and it was a total pain.

 

It's very inconvenient in The Hive and ToA, when there are mobs trying to kill you, and you get slowness and have to press shift.
