Valperion Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Why would I need "fleet passes" for this? Free Quick travel that is re-usabel in 30 min. * Farm and do alot of quests and finish some planet, for example hoth Then just hit quick travel, run/walk/fly to the fleet shuttle and boom "imp/rep fleet" Switch levels at elevator, done... By the time you start grinding the next planet your 30 min quick travel will be ready. Meh... That is the fastest way beta testers to get off a planet. Still its effective, but you still can walk a lot less, and be instantly in the middle of the imp fleet standing on a dune sea in tatooine. The time you would actually use it would be mostly for crew skills, if your ready to get some upgrades or just really want to check the GTN quickly. * Or if your farming pvp quests in the Ilum war-zone. * Or doing the boring repetitive belsavis daily quests.

Belbullab Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 fleet recall should be on 3 hour we also should have a 1 hour cd recall to our ships. making things annoyingly timeconsuming like running through 3 hangars and zoning 5 times is not fun, immersive or anything actually, it's immersive.

IlexGlabra Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 If you buy the 5$ security key you get access to the ingame vendor that sells fleet passes for 1k credits and they are on a 1 hour cooldown. Could be an option for you. I'm fine with spending the $5. I'm not fine with the annoyance of having to use the authenticator. :/ (Yes, I know the reasons why I should, but I can't stand the damn things.)

Aiwan Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) You answered your own question. It removes the: "run/walk/fly to the fleet shuttle and boom "imp/rep fleet" Switch levels at elevator, done..."That's like 45 seconds saved... Still easier and faster than running corridors of space stations, entering your ship, travel to fleet etc.... and it's completly free (not even fuel charge)! EDIT: After reading some more replies... It looks like I'm missing something or I simply haven't your need to go there as fast as possible that often (which is more often than once per day)...

Yeah some players are just too bored doing the same things over and Over and OVER again. <- Btw I've been doing this ship / running / free teleport thing for 6 months. * So yeah it gets very repetitive. * Yes, I was a general beta tester.

Belbullab Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 i don't like the idea of the authenticator. i can't play if i lose my keys? what happens when the battery runs out? i dislike that in game items and options are tied to real world things like this. i have the ce key i just don't want to use it.

stitchersflock Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It doesn't need a shortened cool down, it isn't meant to be a free pass to the fleet. It's called "EMERGENCY Fleet Pass" for a reason. My God, why must everything be subject to "please make this easier because I"m lazy"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryathal Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 actually, it's immersive. i never saw luke or han spend 20 mins walking out if the ship into an orbital station only to shuttle to the planet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeleena Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I find it funny that everyone complains about the security key thing because it costs money. My beef is that it's annoying to have to add an extra step when logging in! I think it's lame that they're requiring you to use a stupid security key garbage to get fleet passes (i.e., useful items in-game.) I've been playing MMOs for hours a day since 1999 and have never used a security key thing and have never been hacked. I think games should drop this security key nonsense and simply add a secondary password (like Aion) or else a coinlock similar to what Rift does. Adding extra steps to the login process is just lame ......I don't even have to go through that much BS to log into my bank account ..and it's a hell of a lot more important than this silly game. So adding more security systems that are hackable is better than using something that is 99% hack-proof? Yeah. Smart idea there. You probably think you should be able to reset your security questions over the Internet too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiwan Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yeah some players are just too bored doing the same things over and Over and OVER again.Then why do you want to use the emergency fleet pass over and over and over again and that even faster and faster (j/k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakumene Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Did WoW pet collectors cry about having to buy the authenticator to get the core hound pup? How are people complaining about a free app authenticator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrshush Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Wow! I can't believe this. Here I thought I'd paid 15 dollars to play this game for the month, had no idea the developers were looking to nickle and dime us further by making parts of this game annoyingly bad to force us to give them another $5. Unbelievable. Exactly my point. It's just wasted time that pisses people off. thats why they offer it free, to android and iphones. where the authenticator is paying Vasco, the company that makes the Digipass GO the production and shipping costs. how this is over your head is beyond me. also not to say authenticators are 100% account protection, BW is doing this for themselves, as it costs the company itself a lot of money to investigate hacked accounts and restore stolen items. this reduces that. i can understand a lot of ppl who do take super secure measures to prevent these things, or the "inconvience" of typing numbers but its silly. also i replyed to this same thread yesterday i hope you are not the same person Edited January 12, 2012 by Mrshush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flabbajabba Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Ive heard you can join a warzone and afk it for 3 mins. you will get ported out to the fleet no matter where you join from. I never tried it myself personally. except once by accident when someone was at the door. But i came back to see myself in the fleet. I guess you could call this cheating so i wouldn't make a habbit of doing it often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself am in favor of them dropping all your abilities by 90% for 15 minutes and also not allow you to queue for another WZ for an hour whenever you afk from a WZ.

Just change it so it spawns you back where you were before you joined the WZ. That way doesn't prevent players from being unable to carry on questing due to squishyness... Same goes for people that enter a WZ and leave before the end. Just transfer them back to where they were. That's a more productive solution. No point in stupid debuffs that reduce your playability for no reason. Not all people that go inactive are cheaters... Some people have genuine reasons for it. "Ohh noes! My mother just fell down the stairs!! AFK" lol. Edited January 12, 2012 by MasterZionosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
