Dodge Roll and Running = Not Fun, Not Enjoyable

[CodeMage]

@Stoneduelist

Running/Walking is a huge chore, it feels like sludge or oil, or like trying to walk in a pool. It’s a chore, its tedium, and while I don’t mind the grinding aspect of Conan, if something is boring or is a chore or makes me not want to do something, that’s the wrong way to go about it.

Hey, @Stoneduelist, it seems like the new momentum-based movement is not set in stone and Funcom is open to changing it. I would encourage you to leave your feedback in the official feedback thread, so they’ll have an additional data point:

Momentum-based movement - Feedback thread

Hey y’all, Yesterday we released one of the biggest patches in the game’s history, adding not only mounts, but many overhauls to some of the game mechanics that remained unchanged since launch. One of them is the new momentum-based movement, which adds acceleration to the player movement to create more meaningful encounter situations in which each movement counts and requires a conscious decision when engaging. As any big change to a core mechanic, this will be received differently by each ki…

@Stoneduelist

I dodge, I roll, I don’t do combat.

Unfortunately, I don’t think anything will happen to help with that. Funcom has made these new changes specifically to stop people from always being able to run away from combat once it started.

The best you can hope for is to avoid fights in the first place or to get used to committing to a fight until you’re able to escape.

@Stoneduelist

I just can’t travel that road because you made dodging so bad, I would rather just go play anything else, or watch anime instead.

I do hope you reconsider. There are new tactics available and new ways of doing things. Maybe if you give it a try, you might find some that you enjoy.
