Shockington Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 A 30 minute CD on such a weak travel ability is far too long. It's a glorified taxi service with a long *** cooldown. 15 or even 10 minutes would be a more reasonable CD for an ability like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of taxis to augment traveling quickly in game. Besides getting the personal vehicle at 25 makes this a moot point.

trenshod Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I have no complaints with the current CD. Every time that I have needed to use it its been off CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddeth Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 well hell lets just make in instant CD no need to even walk anywhere.... might as well have the mobs just walk up to you in order so you don't have to go find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 You always have the death quick travel option. 30 minutes is really short. Surprised they didn't go with an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett_Skirata Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It’s not a taxi, it’s an instant teleporting system that is superior to other games since you can decide where you want to go anywhere on the planet you’re on when you use the ability. Also, 30 minutes isn’t that long. It’s an MMO, you’re going to have to walk somewhere every once in a while. If you want to get around faster that what Taxi’s and vehicles are for.

Greyspectre Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Been fine for me so far. I would like to see an emergency fleet becon cooldown reduction, but with the fleet passes even that is not ovelry necessary.

Have the mobs form a line and drop their loot for you at the Cantina or in your ship. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blogmonster Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Can we buy a reset of the CD? With credits ofc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utorian Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 No it really doesnt. I have yet to have to wait for my transport to come of CD so i can get somewhere. If I know its on cd I use the taxi and go wash up, make a brew, go the lav etc. TBH this time scale falls right inline with nearly every other MMO's recall skill I have ever used. Thuink only that other game that we dare not spak its name has a reduced one as long as your guild has lvl'd to get the perk for it. IMO games need to have a delay like this to force people to walk away during play and do something while they wait on the 2-3 min taxi journey.

Fleet pass is a bit long, but I only ever use that to get to my ship at the end of the night. IMO, 30 min is just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampionChains Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The one that bothers me is the 24hr (or is it 20hr?) cooldown on the fleet transport pass. I wish that one was only like 1-2hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, 30 min is just right. You can buy 1 hour cool down fleet passes from the security vendor once you attach an authenticator to your account. 18 hours is a bit long for the one included permanent fleet pass, but they're only 1000 credits at the vendor and are handy leveling up.

spicycookie Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Are we just complaining or suggesting because we can? 30 minutes is fine. You be surprised how fast that passes by unless you are doing one quest then turning in. I generally do all the quests within that area. Only time I use my quick travel is when I'm in some deep cave where mobs respawn quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they reduced it to 30 for all, 15 for guild perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbearlyke Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 #1 Distances aren't that huge in this game to begin with. #2 Most mobs are really easy to avoid if you don't feel like fighting #3 Mounts are pretty fast #4 Typically there are usually 3-5 quests to do in one little area. Do ALL of them before going to turn ANY of them and I guarantee you that you will NEVER have an issue with the CD for quicktravel. All of these reasons (plus many more I haven't mentioned) are why I disagree with you OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawheidbob Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah if i am going to pick on hearthstones it would be the inability to warp to any i have discovered in the universe not the 30 mins which is ok number in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicycookie Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 But in order to use the security vendor, you must have authenticator right? which means you must purchase this to access the vendor. I'll check how much money i have to shell out then. You can buy 1 hour cool down fleet passes from the security vendor once you attach an authenticator to your account. 18 hours is a bit long for the one included permanent fleet pass, but they're only 1000 credits at the vendor and are handy leveling up.

Lesta Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Since I'm used to an hour CD on fast travel (LOTRO), I'm totally diggin' this lil ole half hour thingy. I think its TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! I'm so very happy its not an hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subatia Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Can we buy a reset of the CD? With credits ofc I like this idea. 30 minutes is perfect 99% of the time, but sometimes I need to port and got 10 minutes on my CD. An option, like the Fleet Pass, would be nice.

Anzel Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 10 minutes would be just fine with me. Some of the "worlds" in this game are huge and I'm here to have fun. Walking or riding my speeder for 30 minutes to get from point A to point B doesn't count as content and it certainly doesn't make the game more challenging... or fun for that matter. It's just a useless time sink. This isn't a sandbox MMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmeraldArcana Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Quick Travel is fine. Fleet Pass, on the other hand, is much too long and should be 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
