Guenaveer Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) I thought Hoth was too far spaced. The I got to Belsavus. Anytime I have to travel 10 min to get to a quest area (on a speeder) do a quest for 1 min, then another 10 min ride back to turn in, only to be sent right back. Holocoms should be used on every quest. I've shut the game down for the same reason dozens of times, Once I get to tattoine on a toon, I just fricken' stop playing it cause I hate the travel. I have 7 toons lvl 25..only 1 at 41. I tried. The game is beautiful, but I'm done. Good Gaming all. Edited January 13, 2012 by Guenaveer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandiMynx Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Sometimes, the quest layouts are a bit rough, if you don't know where to find all of the quests, but in my 1-50 I found that, in general, side quests are laid out to be nearby to your class quest too - So if you collect all the quests, run around and do them, then go turn in.. it shouldn't be nearly as much back and forth? Yet I've heard this complaint a lot, so maybe I somehow missed a bunch of quests, or just picked them all up properly, idk. Sucks you got so frustrated, have fun with whatever you do in the future!

Gankdalf_ Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 The only three places I like are tatooine, hoth and alderman. I love open spaces, it's the linear maze like planets I hate, which is about 90% of them:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole "never leaving the main city to level from 15-85" thing seems more your speed. No exploration needed - just queue for your dungeon and turn off your brain.

Cmdluke Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 do what I do and gather up all the quests you can. Most areas have several quests relatively close to one another. I gather all the quests, complete all the quests, then turn them all in once i get back to 'town'. occasionally you'll have that odd way out of the way quest, but for the most part, this works really well and saves tons of travel time. I usually don't even go buy my new ability upgrades until I'm at a stopping point in my quests so I don't have to do extra traveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasperion Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Just go back to WoW. Where function trumps aesthetics. Just wait until you spend 5 minutes traveling, spend 10 minutes killing into a cave to get to the guys you need to kill, spend 10 to kill the guys you need, then 10 minutes killing your way out again, then 5 minutes traveling to the turn-in point. 40 min elapsed time. All for a SINGLE DAILY. While this is certainly not the norm, and is something I would expect from a company new to the MMO genre (and thus doesn't bother me all that much), it can get very tiresome, very quickly. Don't get so dismissive of legitimate gripes. And lose the overdramatic hyperbole, it's unbecoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reaperkeepet Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Wow... LOLOL @ this! So you're unhappy because the game is too big? LOOOOOL!!! If the game is too big for you then just go quest in your back yard. In my oppinion, I love the long travels. Not only do I love them but I also love the scenery. It makes everything worthit! I could just gaze at the canyons on Hoth for hours - the game is just so beutiful! Still though, xD.

Katharis Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 OP - your pain, I feel it. All my characters jump off the balcony in House Organa instead of walking back down all those confounded stairs. What, Alderaan is too cheap to afford elevators? I bet they don't even have indoor plumbing! Stupid Alderaanians. Alderaanites? Alderaanicans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinigual Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I was JUST thinking that last night... even logged out without even getting to a resting area because it was a little irritating. The travel time to action ratio is horrific, atleast on Tattooine. BUT, I still love the game... ...so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astron_ Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 @OP: Totally agree, this is a cheap and lazy design when it comes to timesinks. I'm getting more and more fed up with bugs and bad design-decisions in this game. Really a shame though, I really wanted this game to work out. <3 Star Wars.

Guenaveer Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 I just was typing an email to a friend explaining the planet to planet travel. as Im typing, I realized alot..here it is. "I mean when you go from planet to planet, here's a snapshot. 1 - run to spaceport 2 - run through big spaceport to your shuttle bay 3 click on bay 4 loading screen 5 loads bay. 6 run through big bay to ship 7 click on ship door. 8 loading screen 9 plays ship launch cinematic (20 sec clip) can be spacebarred through. 10 loading screen 11 you are now inside your ship 12 runn to the bridge 13 click on navigation computer 14 navigate the computer to space section 15 find planet and click on it. 16 hit travel to planet 17 loading screen 18 ship going into hyper-space cinematic. 19 ship stops 20 run to ship exit 21 click on door 22 loading screen 23 cinematic of ship flying down to planet.sometimes long 24 loading screen 25 now in air lock, run through airlock 26 click on hanger bay door 27 loading screen sometimes 28 run through hanger bay to space port elevator 29 click on elevator 30 navigate to lower level 31 loading screen 32 now in space port. run through huge spaceport 33 now try and remember why you came to the planet." Don't get me wrong..the game is lovely.. But i just wanted to play a game..not live there. Thanks for the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No exploration needed - just queue for your dungeon and turn off your brain. WoW is actually a better game so im not getting the insult here. And how does riding for 10 minutes just to get to a point=intelligence? I was just wondering because thats what you're suggesting. You belong in this game with the rest of the sub-par disney kids.
