John_Locke Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Is there a reason that speeders are so slow and they only give me about double the speed i already have? Yeah i know the map and the areas would then be explored too fast but could definitely not hurt if the speed was like 250-300% instead of the world of warcraft like 100%. It feels silly , especially when you are driving a speeder. Edited January 17, 2012 by John_Locke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 There were too many fatal accidents at higher speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "can't set the bar too high" mentality, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Locke Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Endor speeders were just crazy OP. Many stormtroopers died in bringing us these safety standards..... But i did not ask for star wars "realistic" speeders , since well that would be like 1000-1500% speed increase. Just something that would look nice , like for example 200-300% For doubters , if you do the math your real life bicycle makes you go around 300% faster.

But MMO characters run at a consistent speed of marathon runners TOP speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moiraesfate Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Its a game. They all do this. What did you expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sai-to Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 How exactly would this unbalance the game? You would get to locations way faster than you should. Size of the worlds was designed with the speed potential of characters in mind. If they increased speed, they would have to increase the size of the world to maintain their proportion.

Chromiie Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Rank 3 Speeder training should equal to Sprint in speed imo. Speed could be increased by 30% each rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaywardSith Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Why would we need to go faster? every planet is a hallway with mobs, there is no exploration *slams desk* Thanks for ruining the game! Just kidding, definitely too true. I think that if you wanted a speeder to go faster, it's all or nothing. Get a mod that makes it endor speed and crash into stuff all the time, or drive like a grandma and get over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
