Does anyone know if there is a run lock feature in PS, similar to the one in EQ, so you don't have to hold down run whenever you are traveling long distances?

Does running eat up stamina?

And if not, why not set "Always Run" and hold down shift when walking is appropriate. That's more FPS than RPG but it wouldn't bother my enjoyment of the game.

Yeah, I think it does eat up stamina

Why should it eat up stamina just to run? Jumping, sure, but you'll be running/strafing all over the place!

Is there a ability to "Jog" in this game? like a faster than walk that uses less stamina then running?

Well you could run a bit, then walk a bit.....

And of course running takes up stamina, how far can you run in real life, in armour and carrying weapons? Not far? Ok then.

There were ajustments being made to stamina when I played, so it will probably be different in beta.

If you get stranded somewhere you deserve to have a long tired walk back. :p

Can we just set it to auto run? I don't mind if I run out of stamina after I've been hauling ass for a little while but I really dislike having to hold down a key for something that should be done automatically.

Just drive a vehicle. Bet that doesnt take any stamina ;)

Stamina usage for running has been removed due to lack of fun being had with that feature in the game.

You still lose stamina when you take damage, when you use an implant, and when you jump.

yay we can run all we want, thanks :D Also when you have the run lock on, are you constantly moving? Or do you just run when you press the forward key?

Meh, stamina lost would haven't been that bad, it would have just prevented us from running from one base to another (which we'll never do) so it wasn't like a huge penatly. :)

So now walking becomes a more quiet way of moving around just like in CS?
