Movement changes on Test

[T'Pol]

I just discovered some change by accident that may be interesting to some scouts.You can no longer run backwards and change direction with the use of the movements keys. Instead you always have to use the mouse now when you want to run in half/circles. Very annoying. Might be interesting for the classes or people that like to kite.I really wonder why they did this and why is it not in the test update noes?

I saw this thread and jumped on to test to try it, had no problems with reverse or turning keys.

I also noticed a reduction in runspeed for rangers.  Current speed live at 61% without jboots, test speed down to 53%.

Because I hate that site since I don't want to pay to access a file.

If I'm wrong about that - nvm please <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

Turning and movement is different depending on your setting for "Free Look Control." I always use "View Relative" and it looks like you use "Avatar Relative." "Avatar Relative" always seemed strange to me and didn't even work the way the tooltip described.The Test Update notes from 8/28/2007 said there was a change to strafing in "Avatar Relative" mode:<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=379496" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=379496</a><span style="color: #ffff99;"><span class="postbody">Strafing with autorun on will actually cause you to strafe instead of turning your character.</span></span>Currently on the Test server "Avatar Relative" works exactly like "View Relative". I believe this is unintended.Othesus - Dirge - Lucan DLereVaspar - Fury - Lucan DLere
