Running should cost magicka too
UnknownNick

As the title says.
This game is unbalanced. There are too many unbalanced things both from a PvP and a PvE point of view. Obviously, no game is flawless, there is no such a game perfectly balanced but, we need to do the best we can to make it the most balanced as possible... Running in ESO is one of those unbalanced things. In before I get hate comments because my idea is stupid: just THINK ABOUT IT!
In my opinion running should cost either stamina or magicka based on your highest value. I know, it's not "realistic" because running is something based on a physical movement more than on a magical one - even tho levitation exists lol
What's the sense of having 30k magicka and such if you can't run more than 20 meters and you're already with heavy breath?
Making running based on your highest stat, would resolve many problems. On PvP, it would be much more easier if you can run with your magicka instead of stamina (talking about magicka builds obviously); blocking, roll-dodging and breaking free will still cost stamina, so you will be advantaged for your stamina sustain. On the other hand tho, it will afflicts a bit the magicka sustain but, since in PvP it's often used to stack magrec I don't think that's gonna be a big deal - you can run but, still be able to block / roll dodge future attacks. It'll be balanced because with this way you will have to choose between using your magicka to run away or just spam your shields and such - so it will also solve, more or less, the problems many players have with shield-spammers
On a PvE perspective - you will just have advantages. In harder game's contents you don't need to run much but, blocking and roll dodging is ESSENTIAL in basically all Trials and Dungeons, so you won't have to worry anymore about losing stamina because of running...
Let me know what you guys think and how this can get improved

✭✭✭✭Symmetry=/=balance.
The difference in how magicka and stam toons balance off-stat resources has consistently been on of the few obvious skill checks in this game. It is not symmetrical. That does not mean it isn't balanced.Thrice Empress, Forever Scrub17 -

✭✭✭So I'd have no magicka to shield if I sprint while using it. Or heal. That'd be a huge issue in BGs too, as sustain in that pvp mode SUCKS.For the love of Kyne, buff sorc.

✭You are talking about sprinting, rather than running are you not?
Personally I run everywhere when I'm not riding, and a cost either in magicka or stamina would be....undesirable. Does anyone ever walk anyway?
However, I assume by 'run' you do mean 'sprint', which is entirely different and usually conducted in short bursts to escape something or relocate fast. Here stamina is more appropriate than magicka, nothing wrong with the system as it is. If it ain't broke don't fix it.....*looking at ZOS*.
Personally I never sprint, so staying with, or changing doesn't matter to me.

✭Sprinting should cost stamina, but current stamina should become some other power source, like focus or discipline. I know how classical health-magicka-stamina triad is, but casting, basically, spells or doing any type of non-magical things shouldn't be tied to stamina like it is now. Though "cardio" like jumping should. Just my humble opinion on the matter.EU PC: @logarifmik | Languages: Русский, English

Agree with this and contrary to the OPs belief, I actually think this would hurt magicka classes. I think there would be a huge outcry, especially in PvP once people realized how fast their magicka depleted between sprinting and casting. I’ve seen a lot of people ask for this and I don’t think it would be what they think.

Sure, I'm poor on the low end because I buy way to much for alts. So I am down with it costing a resource I rarely have a lot of.I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it.

Why this trend to describe valid counter-argument as hate?
Why this trend for amateur game designers to tell the professionals 'how to do it'?
I hate your ideas, because you've already told me that they're stupid.
If you were to suggest ideas that kept players in-game more; thinking about ESO+ more; thinking about Crown Store purchases more; or how to get more hard-core x-of-x players to come here, then you might get a look in. If it doesn't end with ka-*** a sale, then that's not hate; it's just commercial reality.
By the way, of course I don't hate your ideas. I didn't read any of them.
Good 'ol profanity filter. It reminded of a racist slur that I haven't heard used for more than 25 years.Edited by Androconium on June 1, 2019 4:58AM14 -
