Olvan Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Maybe it's just me, but the max level speeders feel really slow. Like my grandma pushing her walker across the street slow. The top end should be increased to make it feel more like the movies. Here's a novel thought...make top end speed 320% and you have your speeders zipping along nicely AND you can say that you're mounts go 10% faster than Wow's! BOOYA! Who's with me??
CreedEto Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I agree ^^ Maybe not such a drastic change but tier 3 could maybe be boosted to 150% even. At least making a differentiation that is tangible between the three. Basically tier two speeders are irrelevant and your better off saving your money. Another note is the massive 1.5 mil speeders that I love so much feel slow because you are higher up from the ground/bigger. (non serious) flying mounts?
Aethyriel Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 maybe 320% ground speed is a bit too much, but looking at the size of planets/areas and routes 200% should be no problem at all and it would feel more appropriate than the current speed which is really way too slow, especially when you're sitting in these car thingis and not on a speeder - looks like you're moving the whole thing without an engine, using only your feet sticking out from a hole @ the bottom like Flintstone used to do.
deusBAAL Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Only 10% per speeder tier is a bad joke, especially for that kind of credits. BW, make it 50% upgrade for each tier plz.
Petromir Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 THe main bonus of higher tier speeder skills and speeders is anti knock-off not speed. A bit more would be nice, but 320% would negate world mobs ability to knock you off completely. even tier 2 speeders get out of range 50% of the time.
geoffc Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Faster, yes! especially for lvl 50. However at 320% it would be too fast, and with current zone sizes, it would make them feel really small. If TOR zones/World was big as WoW, 320% would work, in current state, probably not.
Goretzu Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 The are comparable to other MMORPGs mount speeds. However what looks fine speed-wise for a horse or a giant goat or whatever, tends to look very slow for a speeder that looks like 100+ mph should be no problem. I don't think they thought the designed through from an actual ingame sense.

You shouldn't be able to get knocked off your mount in the first place, it's an obsolete and outdated concept that mmo's should have axed years ago.
Aethusa Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Nope mate it is not just you. Actually if you compare speeders in game with speeders which you can see at Star Wars movies. You can realize that our speeders are walking not even running ! Edited March 26, 2012 by Aethusa
KekoSplit Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Horses in WoW are much faster then the rocket speeders in SWTOR. What do they feed them with? Nerf horses!
Lord_Ravenhurst Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Speeders need to be much, much faster indeed. I only say "Endor forest chase". The speeders right now are in wheelchair mode.
Nexdine Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 You shouldn't be able to get knocked off your mount in the first place, it's an obsolete and outdated concept that mmo's should have axed years ago. Part of the game is to avoid the groups of enemies if you're not interested in fighting them. If you had no knockoffs you could just power along to wherever you were going with near immunity.

If you had no knockoffs you could just power along to wherever you were going with near immunity. And why shouldn´t this be possible? The enemies should react, jump out of your way or fire after you and only hit you lightly. If you want to engage them you do it anyway, if you don´t - well, your decision! If I´m not up to random mob slashing, why on earth does the game force me to do that? Also I´d like to run over enemies with my 300% speeder, GTA style! Edited March 26, 2012 by Lord_Ravenhurst
ChristensenM Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Im perfectly fine with the chance to be knocked off your vehicle, otherwise you could just auto-run (auto-drive? ) without any chance of acutally being killed while getting to your location while you get some more coffee, oh and yeah, not fun if you cant knock players off in open world pvp either. Though I do think that the 10% speed increase is too little for each tier. I would suggest: Tier 1 - 75% Speed IncreaseTier 2 - 125% Speed IncreaseTier 3 - 200% Speed Increase // ChristensenM
Cormey Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Agreed, we need more speed. This is what the TOR devs base their speeders on and even then this thing looks like it'd probably go faster.

Darnu Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 would be nice. also, /signed on your sig ideas. Except for deathstar. Hasn't been invented yet.
Darth_Moonshadow Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Prepare speeders for....LUDICROUS SPEED!
MelodicSixNine Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I would certainly be nice if speeders were faster. What I would recommend:Tier 1 - 100%Tier 2 - 150%Tier 3 - 200%
monkeydud Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 WHY?? I ask can i not use my speeder from my ship to the exit of the spaceports? and why did I have to get OFF my speeder and walk trhough the tunnel to the Dune Sea in Tatooine when there were NO mobs in the tunnel? AND while we are at it I demand that we are SAFE on our speeders ! If the mobs can't shoot us of the pre-programmed travel speeders why can they shoot us off our personal vehicles?
monkeydud Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 prepare speeders for....ludicrous speed! spaceballs ftw !!
BravilRennd Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Please increase top speed on our "speed"ers. This thread needs to be seen by the devs, don't let it die. /signed
livnthedream Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 i guess you really want beast mounts to look goofy running along at that speed huh.
A_Plastik_Spoon Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Prepare speeders for....LUDICROUS SPEED! 320% speed? WE'VE GONE PLAID!
Kyster Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Make them faster but not because of WOW. Flying mounts, yes please!
