Add a Dash Toggle for New Players

[Jonathan pls]

That would be the exact tradeoff I mentioned above for having it as a training wheel option yes. I also said that's how I personally learned this game as well. If I did not have that training wheel, I probably would have just up and quit.

GunZ Has possibly the highest learning curve of any game, period. Why not let new players have the ability to focus on the base mechanics (Slash, Block, Jump, Switches) for the tradeoff of not being able to fully control their character through walking and momentum control?

So long as there's a minor delay built in between being able to use it so people can't abuse it (i.E the Holy Star glitch), I see zero issues. and it wouldn't give people a competitive edge.

It's not hard to learn to dash later, but it's a HUGE stumbling block for most new players.

I'm sorry i get where you're coming from but if you dont wanna learn how to double tap a button you're not gonna have fun on this game at all

The intention isn't to stop them learning how to Dash. The intention is to get em into the action faster, and let them learn to dash later when they want to get better.

Having a training wheel mechanic like this would get them into the game properly within a week, as opposed to 1 ~ 2 months. Once you come to terms with the main mechanics, turn off auto dash and spend 1 or 2 weeks learning how to dash. Meaning you'll still be fluent in the game within 3 months, but the quality of your overall game experience will be higher.

Terrible dumb suggestion. New players can go through, what everyone's went through.

Just because everyones done it doesn't mean its a good way to continue dude. As a species we'd still be in the stone age with that logic.

While the intention is good, consider that the basic moves you mentioned are ones out of many that require the player to dash, which is an integral part of said moves. like climbing for example. if you spend too much time playing like this you would once again have to take a learning curve to get used to the dash suddenly being 2 keys and not 1 which is in my opinion a bad way to get used to the game (learning and then needing to relearn instead of learning harder but correctly the first time around)

That'd be another bit of the "Learn how to move properly or don't get it" bits. Dashing is 90% of the game for better or worse, and like I said, the biggest bar to entry to this game.

Take it from the guy who did this method to learn this game, Dashing wasn't hard to learn, but I got way more enjoyment out of this game by being able to toggle my dash at the start, then later spending about a week to dash right.
