Did sprint control just change?

[MarQan]

The way I remember it the sprint on auto-walk was always toggle, while for manual sprint you could change between toggle/hold in the options.

Do I remember this wrong, or they changed this with the latest patch?

Because now it seems whatever is set in the options applies both to manual movement and auto-walk.

I swear I noticed also a difference with the recent update. The toggle and hold is still the same but it seems the toggle is now remembered when lifting off "W".
So one basically needs to hit "SHIFT" again to switch back to walking.

Mine is as normal set, as has been ..
TAB=Walk / Trot (toggle)
L SHIFT= Run / Gallop Hold to Run, release to stop running.
I also use the arrow keys to move not the W,S etc. I find arrows much more logical and convenient.

Just as a note. You can turn off voices in setting if the new 'giddyup,' ' let's go' etc when getting on horse is annoying.

I don't notice anything different, but I never used auto-run much. So if it did change, I might not notice it.

I noticed this too. If you hold "w" and tap "shift" you will sprint. Before the last update, when you release "w" you would stop, but now you keep sprinting until you tap "shift".

Today I haven't seen this happen. Did have a bandit get killed, then stand back up and watched me kill the rest of his crew, then fall back to the ground.

It doesn't do that with mine (but as I say I use the arrow keys, but W does the same as my up arrow.)

Just a thought.. Could it be that your keyboard needs a little bang,,, The key gets stuck... Mine does that at times (I shouldn't eat at the keyboard I guess)

Shouldn't that be how it works? It is labeled auto run, meaning you shouldn't have to be using an imput. I remember the original EQ was that way. Was a handy feature.

Sprint Toggle now stays on until i hit shift again. This is highly annoying for me and i do not know why this was changed. Please revert it back to how it was before. If people want to always sprint (when enabled no stamina use) you can add a checkbox in the settings for always sprint.

I noticed this a few releases ago. I use Toggle to autorun, you need to hit the button to start running but then if you stop pressing the W key to stop when you press W again you go right back into running mode instead of starting off walking. Now you have to hit the Run button again to stop running and go to walking.

Not a major problem but it does take some getting used to.

All normal here.

I too find this highly annoying. Previous you would stop sprinting if your character slowed or stopped…it is still this way with a mount. But with the main character running you always run until you click to stop. The wheezing is very annoying and zero stamina all the time is getting old. It has greatly affected gameplay for me. Is there a setting I can change or maybe Developers can revert back to previous way it was.
