KhameirSarinn Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I haven't seen any recent forum threads discussing the topic recently regarding in-game speeder (mount) speed. My guild and I are on the same page when we agree that riding a speeder, of any speed, is like watching the game in slow motion. 90%, 100%, 110%... really? In my opinion speeders should be more like 90%, 200% 400%, atleast. This is Star Wars BW, lets make it feel more like Star wars here. Agree? Disagree?

ZenBones Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I would have suggested (or hoped for) something like +100%, +125%, +150%. 90, 100, 110 is pretty anemic, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zgabu Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Fine with the speeder speeds as it gets me around the planets faster than running/sprinting/walking. Would it hurt if they made the highest speed a little bit more? Of course not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, i mean a 10% increase is barely noticeable. The system seems like a useless credit sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkiii Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 After getting my level 40 Speeder (the one that looks like the one's seen in Return of the Jedi), I hopped on and noticed it wasn't very "speedy." I then watched the movie. Now I wish I could go that fast in game. I know that Bioware and EA have a lot to do with the game, but please, at some point, make the speeders feel like speeders. Thanks!

Thunder-God Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) They need to make it a bigger difference between the speeders...with the fastest speeders being the equivalent of Force Speed...150%. Of course they shouldn't increase speed if it means it breaks agro mechanics. If a mob should be able to knock you off at 110% then they need to be able to knock you off at 150%. Frankly no one should be immune to getting past an elite or champion so long as they aren't grey to you. From what I hear the highest level speeders prevent all knock off...which they shouldn't. But...speeders need to feel like speeders. At the highest levels I shouldn't have to take a frickin taxi through low level areas just because it's faster.

ZenBones Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm pretty sure you still get knocked off plenty, with a rank-3 speeder. You're just slightly more likely to resist it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanarchy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 400%, only if you explode if you hit a snag in the terrain and are forced to respawn at the spaceport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dymensia Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I can understand the level 25 space segways going slow, but it would be nice to see faster speeds on the higher level ones. My only thought is that they're leaving more wiggle room for future expansions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemmar Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I guess next youre gonna ask for them to be 310% and able to fly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkeos Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Someome probably is afraid the toons might die of asphyxation when going faster than 65kmph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batax Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I guess next youre gonna ask for them to be 310% and able to fly? Just posting this because the slow movement in this game really annoys me. In the 10 year old Anarchy Online the maximum movement speed is 375% of base running speed (and there are real flying vehicles). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monjiay Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I spent 1,500,000 credits on the top speeder. It took a lot of time to farm all that. 110%? pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hizzler Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 /signed I made a suggestion to also adding an ability to have a temporary "boost" ability on speeders.. they certainly are NOT as speedy as I would love them to be.. 150% max just a few shades under the taxi speeds would be brilliant!

TheFluke Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 While we're on the subject of Speeders (and I agree with the speed issue) can they please make those ridiculous looking mini-shuttle speeders carry a passenger? That'd be super. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridar Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I agree. 400% is a little excessive, but yah the increments are too close to each other to warrant the massive costs of each. /signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be super. Thanks. Non-speeder mounts would be nice too.. like a Bantha or whatever.. the speeders are monotone and both Republic and Empire have the exact same.. Well.. that's my opinion at least.. And yes.. the speeder speed could use an upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkhosis Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I agree speeders should be faster. They are like put put mobiles right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaGun Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It was a terrible idea to have this slow of mounts in a game with this much landmass. Not to mention it completely breaks immersion with the star wars universe. If they wanted them to be slower than speeders then they shouldn't name them speeders. More like SLOWERS LOLOL.
