Sprinting is one of the main things making PoE 2 clunky and unfun to play
|
I do not know how this mechanic was greenlit in this state, this is one of the most fundamental moves in gaming over the last 20 years and somehow you have found a way to make every aspect of it worse.
The time it takes to roll before sprinting, stop time, crashing into terain, poor controls, sprinting accidentally after a roll,1 hit= death 90% of the time. I struggle to find anything positive at all to say about the mechanic. I would say "it makes you faster" but I think with all the issues it has using it often may actually make you slower. I really want to like PoE 2 but everything being so slow for "cinematic appeal" (everything, boss spawns, door animations, ect) is taking a lot of the game out of my video game.

We desperately need option to bind sprint on another key. Everyone hates sprint and roll on the same key since Dark Souls 1 lol.

" Honestly, it just sounds like your bad at this. I sprint and turn seamlessly. |

Sprint feels like they played D4 and said, "How can we implement something worse than this horse?".

I watched all old trailers and exilecon vids, you can find how sprint was normal in 2020(?) 2nd trailer in poe2 in act2 keth location near terracotta soldiers.
No dodge roll, no heavy stun, but with that wind aura even if sprint was slow af in that traler too. Regression, 5-6 years of poe1 suffering, i guess we deserved it |

" in ds it works fine, can't understand how ggg could ruin ever such s-d binding |

" You're either absolutely right and shouldn't be writing on forums and should ruling this world, or you don't understand basic concepts at all and shouldn't be writing things like that here. |

" Honestly, it just sounds like you don't play the game enough if your honest take is that sprinting is in a fine state. |

They need to fix sprint.
I hate sprinting by accident. Worse is how many steps it takes to sprint if I wanted to when they can just give us an option to assign to another button so that it clears up that issue. If they want to put a penalty then fine, but mixing it with the dodge is just bad. This makes the whole experience of dodging and sprinting bad. |

I like that idea:
