Why was sprint removed?

[A.shhh]

I know its auto run by default now... and when you hit shift (as most games that makes you sprint faster) it makes you walk super slow... Why? Why would that be changed? We have no reason to "sneak", and its not very sneaky anyhow. Please give sprint back.

If everyone used sprint all the time, then taking it away (or rather, turning it on by default) makes perfect sense.

Could the "walk mode" be for RP purposes? Maybe some people are walking around when in town, because they like to play that way, but everyone sprints when outside.

Yeah i prefer to have running on all the time. Only time i need to walk is when im harvesting fruits off trees and its perfect. This change was better in my opinion.

its now auto-sprint, but I rather liked it needed to be pressed, so used to it i keep pressing shift and i just start going slow :(

That's something you can get used to quickly. This is a qol improvement, running without having to push a button is good

Why would you not sprint normally?

Auto sprint is pretty dumb. At least give us the option of what we want as default, because I don't know what kind of loon likes to sprint everywhere all the time. Some of us like taking our time.

But the walk speed is so slow and the map is so big. Heck, most people who get the glider just glide around because it's faster. Why would you want the slowest travel speed as the default?

Prooooobably because it's a game about relaxing and enjoying ourselves. It's weird to run and rush everywhere.
