please make player movement faster

[Ministro]

Jesus, *another* speed increase whine-fest *already*? Things just got sped up what, a week ago? Speeds fine, they need to make plate armor wearers slower, running as fast as a naked person is a bit ridiculous, and frankly, even asking to test it is a bad idea. Since we don't have mounts yet in a map that is so much bigger, everyone is hurting on travel times, so you're going to get a seriously biased response.

If plate armor like Tindremic Knight slows you down then no one will ever wear plate armor and the meta will legit be light armor for the rest of MO2's history. Speed is not fine but nor is it horrible or terrible. I am trying to explain and give suggestions to SV saying that I think there are ways of making player movement a lot better so that people don't feel like slugs in-game. You shouldn't even be saying speeds fine cause in reality it isn't, because it still needs work. It would just be good to test out different levels of speed for player movement in order to see which ones are good and bad, that is the whole point of an alpha/beta it's to test things out. We as players should be trying out different things and suggesting things before the game is in a persistent release.

It really boils down to who or what scene you want.
Do you want a active and competitive combat scene you go highest possible speeds.
If you dont want a active and competitive combat scene you go low speeds.

Either way with anywhere near the current speeds, the bigger MO audience will probably not play since atm a maxed character feels like MOs fresh newly made toon in Tind gardens.

Feels like we are out of shape older people with bad backs and too heavy weapons.

It does kinda feel like running in water at the moment. But then again we don't have different ways to customize and make a faster character really yet.

If movement speeds stay the same get ready for a dead footfighting scene and Mounted Online 2 about 3 months post-launch.

Slower speeds also makes it even more of a numbers game. The effectiveness of kite-and-kill is gonna be much weaker than MO1 on top of the already turtle-friendly combat.

At the end of the day its all about fun. I'll take a bit of desync if it makes things not such a bore.

The game should have the option to be competitive. If you want to play your best the entire time, whether it is PvE or PvP, you should be able to choose to play like you're from an esports team. Most guilds will play competitively no matter what, but with this kind of movement speed and current combat, they will not even bother. But if you want to play casually, then play casually. As MolagAmur said, if movement speed stays the same then everyone will just play mounted and no one will be bothered to fight on foot. Point is, a faster movement speed change wouldn't be a bad idea and it's also worth a try to see how it would work out. This game is still in beta, so why not test things now? If the game comes out, we won't have this kind of opportunity ever again.

Truth.

Sadly SOME people need to see this happening at the expense of SV to understand and by then numbers will tank and the reviews will come out permanently damaging its reputation. You get ONE launch that's it no one cares if its early access a sad reality.

Yet we are called "whiners" because we are not settling for an "ok" game. This is MO 2 i have higher standards and more respect for it.

We are in a testing phase change IS gonna happen and advocating for mechanics to stay the same as if they are perfect reeks of ignorance.

A game is fun and fun sells. Who Knew

This is something a lot of people don't understand. Many players have already experienced various aspects of MO1 in different states of 'balance'. Which is why when we see or hear "X is really good!" a lot of us think back to when it was similar or just like MO1 and go "no no no NO THATS BAD."

This thread wouldn't even exist if mounts were in. Relax, they're coming.

 

[finegamingconnoisseur]

It seems at present, movement speed is slowed down but weapon swing speed has increased. Haven't tested it while naked so might try that later when I get the chance, and see if armour affects movement speed at all.

 

[you]

i think it would exist. Mounted will be an addition and definitly a parameter to take into account. But the way it is right now, mounted will be over played because you just do not want to go somewhere on foot due to running speed.
Right now, even doing fab to krannesh is the same time as you used in MO1 to nearly run from fab to bakti. i am only exagerating slightly here but you get the point)
And many people who don't really want or enjoy playing mouted would come at this topic again saying how there is no point playing on foot.
as many people said, it is the right time now in testing phase to test it .

a little early to say anything like that when u dno what mounts will play like in practice.

 

[Svaar]

I hate how slow you are in-game at the moment, makes kiting and chasing people feel like hell every time.
Would it be possible by any chance to increase player movement speed? I mean it doesn't have to be crazy fast but fast enough so it feels like you're faster while running with your weapon out. It really sucks pls fix thx.

you just need to add throwing weapons to the game =)

if only this were an alpha/beta forum where we discuss potential issues before they are added.

Even if mounts existed, I would still want to see a slight buff to movement speed because it's obvious to everyone that riding even a donkey would improve traveling around the map to be much better, including combat. But, the point is that foot combat is just painfully slow and takes ages to even just kill one person no matter how skilled both opponents are in combat. That's why people opt to just zerg since it's impossible to parry 5+ people at the same time. You cannot even solo PVP since you're too slow to kite two people.

Err if two people are moving at the same speed.... Hate to break it to you....

Not that simple. The speed effects the length of time that you’re exposed while diving and returning to safety as well as the gain you have on an opponent based on their reaction to their surroundings.

Maybe so, but how is that related to anything he just said. It isn't. Why are you derailing and making arguments that are not there?

In what part did I mention everyone should run the same speed. What I was trying to explain was that we need a speed buff for character moment speed. Every race/species would be a bit faster and be able to feel like they are running. For example, instead of a Thursar running 410, they would run 440 while Alvarin would run 450 or something like that. I am talking about a slight speed change that is different for each race/species. More agile races should still be the fastest, but right now they don't feel fast. I am not saying that everyone should run the exact same. In no way or shape should everyone feel slow or even be slow. The speed we have right now, if that's the speed that we will have with a maxed out character then nobody, NOBODY would fight on foot.

It's really mind-blowing that some people like the current movement speed for characters. I feel like those people don't participate in group fights at all and just sit around in town making potions and exploring the map If everyone looked at alvarins at least and tried to actually kite, they would see how slow they are. Thursars are even slower even though they still do the most damage, they're not worth it in group fights. Because if you get outnumbered and you have to start kiting, you will die. In conclusion, we just need a slight speed buff to make diving and kiting a lot better and actually doable. If you tried to dive into a group, you would easily get stickied.

Its amazing the IQ difference you can see here.

Thats the thing man. Majority of people who speak on these issues have no idea about it.

This is due to everyone moving at the same speed right now, mostly.

Look up how fights looked in LiF, everyone were pretty much running at the same speed. If someone didn't want to fight they'd a vast majority of the time get away. Only way to deal with that would be using the few methods of chasing people down, a shout that made people fall over if they ran away from you(bleh), mounts, group formation speed boosts and ranged weapons.

Speed is relative, we right now have no difference in player speeds at all, when we do then sure, you'll be able to be a faster than the average character. But what happens when you run into someone who is just as fast as you? You'll end up with the same situation we have now.

If you boost character speeds by 100% of now, it doesn't matter. Since everyone will be moving at that speed so it doesn't really solve the "issue".
The only thing higher movement speeds will achieve is as as Teknique mentioned OOT, that running into a static group of people and then running out will be a much shorter affair. But, if the opponent is moving or able to move due to spacing towards your group, then more movement speed is irrelevant. Its still a relative speed and you are all moving at the same pace.

If you are thinking im against different races having different stats, then you are reading text that isn't there. Im talking about current issues, due to current state of characters.
