Sprint speed and map size

[jasher11 67]

Okay so i am on my phone and it wont let me search the forum so i dunno if this tread has already been made, if it has sorry.

Also not sure where it belongs so i just put it in here

Anywas i digress, i was playing with some friends yesterday and my friend asked hol long it was to go from Debrovka to NEAF(3-3.8km depending on where you start&finish) so we say with all the gear his player has : rifle, mtn backpack, heavy clothes etc it would take us to run that distance in 20mins to 45mins depending on your fitness. My friends character does this run and it takes about 10mins??? Yeah super quick right? I know our character is meant to be "the best" as its survival of the fittest, but ididnt realise he was olympic champion. Thats 1km in 3mins20sec if he ran 3km but yeah thats stupid fast i think he was using turbo

But i think that either you should run slower or map should be larger.

I know larger map is on the way (think dean confirmed it) and i guess we only run this quickly as a placeholder due to the lack of vehicles, maybe they are gonna make it so this sprint can only get you 300m before you become tired or something

Is this an actual suggestion to run slower?
I actually think this is a first on theese forums ;)

Im not sure i agree, althought 1km in 3 mins and 20 secs is quite fast lol.

Im just thinking it will change alot, once we actually get fatigue and weight into the game.
Atm you can sprint for ever pretty much, but im quite sure this will not stay that way for ever :)

Fatigue is not in the game yet, you can expect your character to stop sprinting after a certain amount of time.

He will then need a break until he can make a sprint again. 

 

My speculation is that this will come somewhere around the same time vehicles get introduced.

The current sprint mechanic is basically a place holder.

Or you can keep running, which would then lead to disiness and throwing up (hopefuly) :)

But thats kinda off topic here, didnt mean to derail anything.

I think it's on topic. Sprint doesn't need nerfing, but as it stands how fast you move has no effect on energy and hydration, when those systems are properly in place we'll probably find that sprinting for more than a short time drains you of these valuable resources extremely quickly. Either that or they might bring in some kind of stamina system.

[frosti 2165]

In straight line with fist-sprint you make 1km in 1 minute 40 seconds.

 

100m - 10 seconds with fist-sprint.

 

PS.

 

And yeah many people think that unlimited sprint and jogging with turbo speed even while carring tons of gear is bad.

 

I think some fatigue system will be added.

Hopefully just for the Hardcore servers. :P

[joeymp 27]

They will most likely lower run speed and make weight a factor while running when they add vehicles and bikes in the game.

Isnt that a confirmed feature?

I actually thought it was :)

So let me get this right you want to make the map even larger and spend  45mins to run 3km!????!

 

[Lady Kyrah 1110]

I do hope something will be done to make "walking" the normal mode of locomotion. Sprinters left and right, all day long, is just... weird.

well not 45min to run 3km - that is a bit extreme but you shouldnt be able to sprint for 3km straight, that is one of the least realistic features about the game, i can run fast for 1 km, anymore than that i am jogging,

but by making it so you go slower that will raise the need for vehicles/bicycles and bases, which will be added, because with a vehicle you could travel 1Km per min with relative ease and with a bike you couldnt go as fast but bicycles do gain a fair bit of speed. and with a base/tent you wouldnt carry so much weight so you could run faster and for longer
