Should be at least a 20-30% speed penalty for backpedaling.

There's only a 10% speed penalty for walking sideways, but you want up to a 30% penalty for walking backwards? How is that reasonable? The backwards walking penalty should not be higher than the sideways walking penalty. Human physiology doesn't work like that, nor is walking backwards as pressing an issue as strafing.

That is 100% grade A festering bull**** that you pulled out of your ass. Go watch a ballet show and realize how wrong you are.

edit: If ballet is too girly for you watch the defensive players in a football/basketball game. Before someone chimes in "but they're athletes", soldiers are athletes too.

Except, the reason people don't walk backwards is because it disorients them, not because it's physiologically difficult.

Lateral is movement is nowhere near as disorienting as backwards movement, so why should the lateral movement penalty be higher or equal to backwards movement?

one of the most essential parts of eve is left out of dust: freedom, exploration, open-world gameplay.

Before someone chimes in "but they're athletes", soldiers are athletes too. i was about to chime in about how i can jog backwards at near same speed as forward, as i often do in rotc to ecourage my other classmates during p.t. but i think you covered it Proud Christian one of the most essential parts of eve is left out of dust: freedom, exploration, open-world gameplay.

Lateral is movement is nowhere near as disorienting as backwards movement, so why should the lateral movement penalty be higher or equal to backwards movement? backwards movement is only dissorienting because you cant see where youre going , you can still move much faster backwards than sideways, due to the fact our legs are meant for forward backwards motions Proud Christian one of the most essential parts of eve is left out of dust: freedom, exploration, open-world gameplay.
