Guild Wars 2

I hate this. I am running trying to get to an event, the quickest way is through trash mobs that will barely harm me, I run by them get hit by one and bam 50% slower just because I am in combat. Then it takes forever to get back to normal speed after I kill the mob.

Why have two different speeds for out of combat and in combat? why not have two speeds for sheathed weapons and weapons out, that makes sense, that way if in combat I need to move faster I can sheath my weapons. I lose the ability to fight for an increase in speed.

I agree mostly. You still should be slowed down when trying to escape an enemy, but there needs to be a way to tell the difference between “I’m running through and ignoring you,” and “I’’m running from you.”

The speed slowdown should occur when “I’m running from you.”

Though, I’m not sure how Anet would do that…

Can’t you bind a key to “Sheathe weapon”? I believe that restores your speed, provided you’re not being affected by Crippled or something.

You can. I have. I bound “Z” to it. I don’t think sheathing the weapon makes you faster, though. I’ll have to try that later.

It does not.

really need to get rid of it.passive speed buffs become completely useless once you get hit trying to run

with how the game is designed to get trained very easily,combat speed should be retained.i get trained by people running past to gather and end up dead because i cant run away even though i have 10% speed buff

Agree. Remove it. Its stupid and not working as intended.

Yes, the slower run speed for a few seconds after taking negligible damage is pretty annoying. It screws up some jumping puzzles, as well, and I can’t imagine that being intentional. The lightning section of Goemm’s Lab was so frustrating because taking a single strike slows you down enough to botch your next jump in many cases.

that part has a shortcut….
But still I agree it’s stupid, who would run slower when their life is in danger, apparently in tyria adrenaline works the other way around, instead of making you faster it makes you go slower…
