i'm ok with trip if they change two things: 1) there must be an option to set different buttons for sprint and dodge. if someone wants use same button, they can set same button for both. i don't want to sprint while trying to dodge something. 2) while sprinting offscreen attacks shouldn't cause heavy stun, especially crossbow shots or spells. i think, best practise for sprint is adding somekind of stamina bar and sprint while you have stamina. and ability to regen stamina while out of combat. and remove all stun and clunkiness from sprint etc. Last edited by Haplo#7878 on Feb 1, 2026, 8:37:12 AM	Posted by Haplo#7878 on Jan 30, 2026, 10:40:33 AM Quote this Post
I have 1 rule when I play this game. Always be on the Rhoa mount 100% of the time, so ya, tripping or getting knocked off the mount is GGG personally attacking my inner child.

I love sprint and how it works.	Posted by Azimuthus#1135 on Jan 30, 2026, 2:55:35 PM Quote this Post
I think it is fine. Get some stun threshold and you will be fine. Pathfinder is even immune to this, so... xD HC SSF. What else? Ruthless when?	Posted by vestolevs#5239 on Jan 30, 2026, 3:59:26 PM Quote this Post
Common... it's the most fun thing in the game where punishments break your heart in every item drop or quest in game. Especially more funny when you end up dead in ground by monsters hits becouse you were being surrounded. ...if you don't care about xp loss ofcourse!!!

" Dr_Mayhem22#0135 wrote: Trip is a great mechanic and fits well into what sprint needs to be. Devs were generally scared to add a sprint mechanic. There are already movement speed stats on boots which is the most core modifier you can possibly roll on any build. Much of the game is running between groups. You can't just add a sprint since the movement speed sprinting grants is arbitrary at that point - all movement could just as well be sprinting. Tripping is the compromise - it's to solve the issue of long downtimes searching mostly cleared maps for missed objectives, while not making movement in the game feel unusually fast. Don't sprint into groups of enemies. You won't trip. It's not meant for combat. It's meant for map exploration. Then why not just add a stamina bar like every other game with the option of sprint then? Instead of this RNG tripping bullshit Exploit early exploit often bozos.

I don't hate tripping, it punish running and getting hit through ads, but I hate getting lag input/ping issue then my dodge roll during combat will cause me to get trip over and i will die, but well, as a pathfinder 1 trick nowaday, fuck tripping.

if there was a way to reduce the recovery time I would need that desperately	Posted by Zoidberg50#9782 on Jan 30, 2026, 7:48:51 PM Quote this Post
I don't buy the cope that its to prevent running past enemies.It controls awful and you move like a tank. Most of the time I get tripped up using the sprint "as intended" when trying to move between packs and get lightly tapped by a random attack coming from offscreen.
