Hello everyone,
First, I want to apologize for my english, I did my best Next, I know that the debate about the sprint and the sprint animation start 3 years ago but I have to say something about it.
The sprint animation looks terrible, especially with the female character make them look like a bodybuilder Alpha male. The animation of sprint with the weapon off is terrible too and piss me off, get me out of the story and kills the immersion instantly (what a shame for this game). You'll say :"You can disable it, it's fine" yes but we are very slow without the sprint and it's impossible in pvp.
The fact is : I dont want the sprint removed, I just want it to look like the default animation but with its speed. And when I said "I" I mean every people like me who cares about immersion, roleplay or just looking cool. And a lot of people left the game cause of this (me included 2 years ago, I'm trying to come back but it's very hard and it piss me off cause i love this game).
Another exemple is with the Juggernaut (sprint off) : He looks very badas-s with his heavy moving stance but with the sprint... He becomes a star ninja/samourai. Very weird.
Well, all that to say that it would be nice if the devs took some time ( because it does not take much time : Nothing to add, just change the run animation by the default) to change this feature that bother players for years, and it would make them gain more players (counting all those who left cause of this).
Best regards,
Elrizzt.
