Media [poll] Should The Sprint Bar Be Removed?

I think he meant we just shouldn't limit sprinting.
And I 100% agree with that.
I always hate it when games limits your sprinting too much. It's just not fun to walk slowly, feels like I'm waisting my time.

I know it meant to increase the difficulty of the game, but it's not even challenging - just super annoying. I see no point in limiting sprinting that much, it just interrupts the continuity of the gameplay.
Imagine you could sprint forever... It won't change the difficulty too much, but make the gameplay so better.

Less sprinting, more money sink into horses or in WS build.
I never fall to 0 on my sprinting bar XD

As we all know, the sprint bar was added in the 1.14.1 Gameplay Update a couple of months ago, and the reason I personally want it to be removed, is because it interferes with mana a lot. For instance, You are a mage with a mana build and you have, lets say around 16/4s mana regen, and you are grinding solo in the demon cave, and all of the sudden, you cannot sprint, teleport, or do any spell that can protect you from the hordes of demons that are running fastly behind you, then, you lost 2 soul points, and that of course is just one simple example.
And in this poll you can vote if it should stay, be removed, or have a little update on it that makes it not interfere with mana, which I think is impossible, because there is no possible way you can't sprint with you having a lot of mana.

I get that you want it so sprinting doesn't interfere with mana, BUT the sprint bar isn't what limits this. In fact, the sprint bar was meant to be a solution to an extent in order to alleviate this. In the past, you would just sprint and lose mana off the get go, now the only time mana runs out is when you don't have a sprint bar. With the current system, I'm afraid that we can't change it so mana isn't limited by sprint.

I think a better idea would be to have a sprint ID, to make it last longer ;)

I will quote Igbar on this subject:
"The sprting system is good, but it disappears too quickly unless you got a high speed build."
Its simple, make a better way to regen stamina rather than not sprint, even a stamina potion that just resets the Stamina meter will satisfy everyone.

In my opinion, instead of draining mana when the sprint bar is empty, it should just give you slowness that cannot be removed by spells. Problem solved.

Just make infinite sprinting, (jk)

Salted · May 14, 2017

Seems like people have questions about sprinting, here's my best try at responding to those...

1. Why does sprint STILL use mana when it runs out??
Because if you were to hold the Sprint button (CTRL) while your sprint bar reached 0%, your client would force the sprint and lie to our server that you were walking, when in fact you were running. This made it so you could pretty much run for ever if you wanted. However, the hunger bar was still a safe and solid way to cut your sprint that worked everytime, so we used it.

2. Why don't you just give us infinite sprint?
That next two might be controversial. Except maybe in the low levels, mobs generally go slightly faster than your walking speed, but slower than your sprint speed (assuming you don't have a WS build). Allowing infinite sprint makes it too easy to make mistake and just run away from the problems. If you decide to waste your sprint and charge yourself into a group of ennemies that are too tough for you, you should definitely be punished somehow.

3. Why is it so slow to regen back?
The current sprint amount and regen is designed so that if you play normally and aren't just trying to rush through things, it should stay relatively high. Try walking through places and actually taking the time to kill the mobs (assuming they're close to your level), your sprint won't be as much of a problem.

You might disagree with some of those, but hey, that's the reasons behind it.
