Game Mechanics: Stamina

[Bazia]

Is Stamina ever gonna be a thing?

I recall on live during Kunark Era it costed stamina to swim and if you ran out of stamina you could no longer swim and would drown.

(People would rage often about disconnecting while zoning into OOT because they would log back into the boat being gone and run out of stamina from swimming, drown, and lose their body in the ocean)

Also I recall that auto-attacking did slowly drain stamina, and if you ran out of stamina you would start missing attacks very frequently. Also Combat Skills (Kick/Backstab/Flying Kick/etc/) and Discs would drain a decent chunk of stamina.

This was a huge part of the game when it came to mob management because if the fight went too long melee dps would be greatly lowered due to endurance issues.

It was kind of like a melee player's mana bar as they could only remain effective if it was managed.

How is this enormous component of the game not implemented on P99 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
