please remove stealth run on slow sneaks

[littleman17]

<DIV>cause it makes me look stupid running in slowmo like that... the crouch looks much better while moving slowly.</DIV><p>Message Edited by littleman17 on <span class=date_text>04-09-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:16 PM</span>

<DIV>ummm.....whaaa!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The crouch looked *$%#&!....like we were trying to take a poo while running.</DIV>

[littleman17]

<DIV>only someone who has never tried to sneak would say that. running is the complete opposite of what it takes to sneak. crouching down and slowly skulking (yes its a word and used in the right context) is what sneaking should look like.</DIV><p>Message Edited by littleman17 on <span class=date_text>04-10-2005</span> <span class=time_text>07:25 PM</span>

I can't even begin to imagine how many /feedbacks I sent SoE begging them to remove the crouch animation.  It looks like trash crouching and walking, nobody who walks like that is going to sneak up on anyone anyway.  Looks so much better the way it is now. <div></div>

<DIV>I am sure the new run animation looks cool on the faster sneaks. But on the slower ones you look *$%#&!. It also doesn't help that it is very buggy. Some times my guy will look like he can't decide if he wants to run or crouch.... looks very stupid.</DIV>
