Why run slower when hit?
actually i like this feature, though annoying at times it makes sence. not many people i know can run full speed when hurt. that and running from combat makes you a bit of a coward. simply dodge the attack or kill the enemy or dont aggro it…yes this means some player skill is actually involved.
LOL, yeah, it’s stupid from a “realism” standpoint. After all, what do we do to horses to make them run faster? However, it does make sense for game balance. Running faster while out of combat is a reward for being good at avoiding a hit. It’s also a way to ensure that kiting in PvE doesn’t get any easier than it already is.
It is designed so you won’t run through a zone gathering a nice mob train behind you.
True mobs have shorter leashes inthis game but they are still going to train.
It also helps commit you to the battle at hand
Warriors are those who choose to stand between their enemy and all that he loves or hold sacred
additionally? i can’t think of a game i’ve played in YEARS (possibly decades? am i REALLY that old??) where slowing down when hit isn’t a feature of the gameplay.
