I've never quite understood the reasoning here- if nothing else, can we just get an "always run" toggle in settings?
In a FPS game that relies on quick movement, why is there even a "run" button? Why is it not default on?
Because the game is not intended as a fast paced fps. Its supposed to be a silly pirate game that is about unpredictable interactions with others, it just happens to have fps features because you cant very well have a first person pirate game without weapons.
So basically it does not need to function like a fast action fps game since it is not one.
@warpfact0r10 as a multitude of FPS games, the "always running" is a feature that only cod have, and it's not a strategically responsible thing, because you consume stamina and you can being heard.

@fedted998 was that necessary? You've just outed yourself as the sort of "person" that needs sinking to the depths.
Hope mods see that and deal accordingly.
@absenteebadge12 Dude, Racism deserves to be shamed. This has NOTHING to do with your idea and you know it.
Mods agreed and edited your post.
I will not respond further.
Be better.

Thems fightin' words dude! Just because someone was called out for violating the forum's rules there is no need for personal remarks or invoking enforcement actions.

Making veiled racist remarks deserves to be moderated and punished appropriately by the mods.

@goldsmen Perhaps when it was originally conceived that was the case, but what the game is today is quite different than that I'd say. Just take a look at any of the myriad streamers hourglassing (or even just in adventure).
I think in particular when turning 90 degrees or more there are instances where the player will stop running that it would be an absolute joy to be able to have a "always run" option toggled on. The abrupt, unintentional pause in running is frustrating. My Shift key cries for mercy!

If you look at streamers doing hourglass then it definitely looks like a wacky fps game and high speed, but hourglass is not exactly the norm and is rarely touched by both streamers and the average player. When you look at normal adventure streams, its not typically people doing massive battles with really skilled players, it tends to either be sneaky tuckers, or people playing a variety of casual and pvp. Often times when it does come to pvp in those adventure streams, it isnt exactly high paced intense fights, it usually is a bit of goofiness and often times the other person is far from some intense mega sweaty pvper.
Even if most streamers wernt playing some mix of tucking and wacky steals, you cant really compare a streamer to the average player. The game may have more tools that can make genuinely intense moments very wild, but the games core principle has not really changed. Its still supposed to be a goofy pirate game that you can do anything in, rather than some intense battle sim.
