Title: Running instead of walking when aimed attacking with melee/unarmed
Post by: MCCloak on July 21, 2010, 01:40:42 pm

SUGGESTION:
Add a feature to run instead of walking towards a target after clicking on aiming table (eyes, head, etc) if the target is out of range, especially in case of melee/unarmed.

WHY?:
I would like to sketch out a real situation that happened to me and forced me to write down this suggestion, so you can understand the problem in depth:

I had encounter with one of those PKs. He had a rifle, I am melee, so I understand he has a big advantage in combat against me, but I didnt give up and attacked him back. I aimed at his eyes, and my character started walking towards him. But when I was 2 hexes from him, he ran a few hexes away and stopped, waiting for his AP replenishes. So I had to manually run towards him, otherwise he wouldnt give me a chance. When I was close to him (1 hex), I tried to attack him again - this means I had to do following actions:
1) press right mouse button to change movement cursor to attack cursor (or press A key)
2) click on PK's character, table popups
3) click on eyes

These actions take some time to do, giving the PK enough time to run a few hexes away again. So, after I clicked on eyes, my character started walking to PK, because he was already at least 2 hex far from me at the time of the click.
This "strategy" was basically making me unable to attack even with full AP.

As I said before, in 1vs1 combat there is a big advantage of ranged char over melee/unarmed char already, and with no way to run when aimed attack the advantage is even bigger.

mmm, we never got a resolution whether or not it would be implemented though... those topics were never closed before they died...

I see this problem in the same way and hardly supporting this idea... it is completely irrational, that you are attacking someone and walking to him slowly instead of running...

But it could be great that devs tell us if this modification is possible or not  ???

Devs, or Cvet (can't remember whom it is up to) are already working on it.

Closed.
