CommieKras Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I think the worst are the quests that take you to the Imperial Fleet after you finish an Act. Probably the most boneheaded idea for a quest in this game and there are a very many number of other candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warjhinn Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Soooo..... less than a month in and you are bailing on something that will likely be addressed soon?? Ok!!! personally, I like the mystery of wondering when and why you left. thanks for spoiling that for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabloosh Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Not really. The loading screen from the ship to the planet is long but the one from the elevator is no different then going to another level of a building via an elevator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenkari Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 they should have done what they did in mass effect with elevators.... show you taking the thing and having your NPC's shatter on about something. thats something i liked about ME, when running around for the first several hours going up and down elevators on the citadel.... no damn loading screens.

archifikoss Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 *shrugs* Not really. Not yet at least. I I wouldn't mind if they'd allow speeders (or at least gave our characters a greater speed buff) in said areas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time in my life i am leaving a game because of something so small. Thanks Bioware Well, yeah, it makes me cringe mostly because it's grossly exaggerated. Most of the places you claim there are loading screens, there aren't. Yeah, it could probably be streamlined a bit, but frankly, anyone who'd quit over the almost obscenely easy travel in this game was going to find a real issue to quit over eventually anyway.

I say its a small issue but really last night i asked myself "why am i playing a game that i find tedious" "arnt games suppose to be about fun?" Then i played Bastion and Rayman Origins for a couple of hours then got some work done So yeah i say small issue but being tedious is not a small issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belialle Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 No, it doesn't make me cringe. To be honest, I like to look around, and when I'm relaxing and playing a video game, I'm not exactly in a huge rush. I even sat around in the spaceport on some planet and took screencaps of the different ships that were taking off. I thought it was actually pretty neat that there was a nice variety of ships and sounds, and it's something I never would have noticed if I'd just been rushing to get out of the building ASAP.

kottonmouth Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Those interlude quests where u need to fly from planet to planet kind of make me want to rage quit. Some planets are poorly designed for questing aswell; run back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth...back and forth. Lastly speeders dont seem very 'speedy'...do they?

C-Bee Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yes the opening post made me cringe... Then again the whole deal with airlock and even personal hangar is kinda redundant... It would be great to just skip them if there isnt any story elements to see... afterall they serve no other purpose right now. What come to loading screens... I rather have them than watch my world freeze while content loader triest to keep up with my movements. Afterall everyone does not have SSD's and stuff that are required for real-time content loading in complex, content-rich environments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valcutio Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 My guild was just talking on vent about this the other day. It does get annoying, especially when running dailies at level 50 and such. The fact that you can't use a speeder in the hangers doesn't help matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilssen Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Wasn't all that bad at first. But now, after about a week /played it's horribly tedious having to go thru the same pointless pitstops over and over. In all honestly, while slightly offtopic, sprint should also be given at 10, with mounts at 20. Edited January 16, 2012 by nilssen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkimor Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Agreed, OP, it's another reason I'm convinced Bioware didn't bother playing any MMO's before making this MMSPRPG. Those interlude quests where u need to fly from planet to planet kind of make me want to rage quit. Some planets are poorly designed for questing aswell; run back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth...back and forth. Lastly speeders dont seem very 'speedy'...do they? Yeah the level design is terrible; they've doubled content simply by making everyone backtrack through areas; it's pathetic.

Kaosbain Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) It's funny, this complaint from the OP... yet there are others that want longer time sinks between travel because it's more immersive. So we either got people quitting because there is too much running around, or there are people quitting because there is not enough running around. BW can't win for loosing. I guess they should just settle for the general populace and let the people that are a bit nitpicky on both sides of the fence fall to the wayside. P.S. If the game is not fun, don't play. Simple. You don't have to come to the forums and whine about it. Edited January 16, 2012 by Kaosbain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithkllr Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Soooo..... less than a month in and you are bailing on something that will likely be addressed soon?? Ok!!! personally, I like the mystery of wondering when and why you left. thanks for spoiling that for me. Please post a link to where they say this will be addressed. If so I will be pumped, but I am pretty sure this is just baked into the design and will never change. One other thing - why is it necessary that I see the loading screen when simply ALT+TABing out and back in? Bioware must LOVE that loading screen art. I agree with the OP that this is irritating to the extreme and very immersion breaking. It just feels really lazy. Let's not optimize the game, lets just put loading screens everywhere. The loading screen to enter your ship is silly. You alreay have to look at the loading screen when you take the elevator to your ship! Why not just load the ship up at that point so I can just walk into my ship? Hell, your code should be able to determine my class and just load the one ship model into memory when i am in the elvator. Lazy lazy lazy.

Ok!!! personally, I like the mystery of wondering when and why you left. thanks for spoiling that for me. Like the OP perhaps... I don't pay money for magical pretend content that may or may not exist or ever come to pass. I'll come back if they actually do some of these things. I chose to cancel a couple days ago when I saw they couldn't even publish a 15mb bug fix patch on time... not once, but twice. That tells me content is going to be slow and I don't pay for hopes and dreams. I let the fanbois foot that bill. I'll come back after you guys pay them to fix it.... and maybe then I'll enjoy what your money paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had 5 years to think about this and now it is too late, they have already pissed off too many people, and I am getting there. Lemme guess... this is your first MMO, yes? Lets just go with the other MMO as an example. City portals to everywhere. Reduced cool down on hearthstone.... Character that can send you to any major city... Etc... Etc... Etc... That was not all in the original release in that MMO either. If it becomes a hang up, it will be addressed. I too would like to see a bind point to my ship. I think it makes sense. I expect that in time, it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaBraddox Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Personally its not that bad but an option to land directly on the planet would be nice. Also elevator doors and perhaps doors in general need to have automatically opening doors as you approach them. Too many static elevators with a simple button only.
