I think this message is for Arenanet...

I'd like to see my character walking.
I'm very tired to see my character running everytime.

Can you introduce this modification in the GW?

Excuse my bad english

Yeah you should allow you to either walk or run depending on what button you press like r is run w should be walk and whatever the w command was should be moved to one of the unused keys

You mean "Go forward"? GW uses WASD too.

Walking is cool, useless but cool nonetheless.

I love the way my characters look when they walk sedately, especially my derv. I'd love to be able to toggle walk/run, at least in outposts.

Or go for a stroll through the Southern Shiverpeaks and play with a few Ice Imps along the way.

Being forced to always run to move makes my Necromancer look over-excited, which is really ... not ... cool ... at ... all.

Not all professions have a usefull DSig-like signet skill. Maybe similar signets should be added for all professions.

But only for an option. Allow people to toggle it on/off. I love Marhan's Grotto for the ice making my Mesmer walk so sexy.

I think a toggle option to walk/run is the best idea, like other games. I don't like to run into the cities, it's crazy!!!

I was playing in a game called Lineage, I think Lineage and GW are like brothers

Lineage let the playes walk/run using a key. I think that this option is not very difficult to insert in game because there are many places that make walk the character. The walk move are in game now.

Walk ability sure why not!*

The fact that since Ive tried WoW, I got hooked on "walking" and I do like to take the time to "strut my stuff" and my gear sometimes. When I got bored (in WoW intowns) I would start to walk (on mount and off mount) and get random groups of ppl to have a "walk-off conga-line" all over the place, which was fun to pass the time.

I would suggest it be made possible in GW2 (since we're going that WoW-ish path. ), I wouldnt mind in GW1 right now, but we cant display our weps anyways so not much useful strutting...(It was mentioned that GW2 may have this as well. lol)

/Id rather they concentrate/finish on the new stuff they've planned for GWEN first for GW1.

(*If super ez to implement w/o any delays or glitches go for it!)

I currently have no toggle for Caps Lock, and I never use tis, since I never write in caps... so I could link this to Caps Lock.

Hit, walk, hit, run...

The only problem would be faking you are slowed down in PvP, but this would be deactivated there...

...or left so people could actually fake... giving more 'thrill' to the game... XD

It's a generally benign idea. Should be simple to implement, too.

well there is a button/tick-box in options to

dissable mouse walking


so....wheres the config in button in game for it?

definately want walking. not only do some chars look better walking, be it in towns or out in the field, but sometimes walking when with a slower party member is usefull....(like when they lag....or when you need to go slow, but henchies dont walk unless you do, dont they? so walking is a bonus to keep Stefan from rushing up and agroing everything hehe)

Why all this interest in such an inane and pointless exercise!?! It achieves absolutely nothing.

I can't recall a single time in any game ever when i've thought "gee, i wish my character wouldn't move so quickly". Seriously...when was the last time you actually used a walk key in anything but Counter-Strike for a stealth kill?
They've got one in most FPS, there's one in Oblivion and even WoW... slowing things down gets very old very quickly. If anything i'd rather every class had early access to a speed boost to cut down the monotony of travel.

And has already been stated...use a snare, a stance or walk on ice if you're that unhealthily obsessed with your GW toon's walk animation.

People also socialize and roleplay.

Anet likes that too. They even submited Krytan Bomber videos.

That's why. To beng abl to walk inside non-battle areas.

I, um, use "walk" options a lot if they're available. :-\

It's useful for RP and admiring the sedate sexy/manly stride of a walking character. No, it's not useful for combat, but there are plenty of things in game added just for fun. Your character doesn't NEED to dance. Alcohol and elf potions aren't necessary for a win. But it makes the game just a little more amusing, and that's why people do things like line up a whole lot of elves/candy corns and /dance *.

QFT. It's just for fun, and it can't be abused or anything..

Fair enough, i do see your point. But why not petition for a /strut emote instead if it's purely for vanity? Get them to add a 'Blue Steel' expression at the end

A walk is more likely to be abused than an emote by lamers to slow the progress of a PUG, as a leeching tool in PvP (walk around a bit instead of going AFK to emulate human behaviour), or hit by accident when attempting to kite - there's just no practical use to walking outside of a town so why make it a toggle?

I prefer the term "striding purposefully" myself. XD

Lamers who slow down the team can be ditched. Or, if they're important to the party, start over and kick them. Somebody that immature is probably not that good anyway. PvP leechers are gonna show up no matter what sort of tools they have/don't have. A different way to move isn't going to change that. And the emote doesn't have to link it to keys; maybe /walk or /run to turn it off and on?

Alternately, only make it usable in outposts. I'd like it to be an option everywhere, but just HAVING it, period, would be nice.

/limp would be cool to have in towns as well, now that I think of it. Get more use out of the crippled animation.

Only in outposts and towns will be enough, since there are skills that slow allies when used, if slowing down is required for video.

But people can just sit instead of running or do not move at all, so allowing it in explorables and missions won't be a worse problem. Party goes back to outpost, and he get's kicked just like other AFKers, sitters and 'I want to go by mayslef and love over-aggro' things.

Hell, they could even do an emote thing with it. Not just "walk". "Saunter", "Strut", "Sneak"...OMG. It'ld be awesome. You could use your Sin to sneak up on people and poke them.
