Avalance_Ozz Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Dont you think that driving with a speeder is feeling a little bit "slow"? There is a simple but beautiful solution to this and i would be happy if the devs have a look on this. Just add some extra effects like following. You can also put it in the options so everyone who doesnt like them can turn it off. here some examples: http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/tilo/tilo0805/tilo080500004/3109589-mountainbiking-festlegung-der-strecke-absteigend-schnell-subjektive-sicht.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/3317/3409677111_b5945a8843_b.jpg http://www.netbooknews.de/wp-content/uploads/riptide-550x306.jpg Now, the second example is a bit extreme and too much. I mean a little less, more like the last example wich is actually indeed a bit extreme as well... but you will know how to put the right amount of the effect to the speeders! So if you like it, sign it I know its a small thing but i think it has an huge impact on the "feeling" of "speeding" Greetzs Ozz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptRavenous Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 They call them speeders, but they are really futuristic segways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slafko Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Why not make 125% and 150% "faster movement" speeders? I don't want to feel like I'm going faster. I want to actually go faster. The feeling will come all by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravager Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I agree with the OP and the suggestion above. They should have at least a marginal increase in speed, and the motion effects would help. I think most importantly, and most difficult to implement, is the idea of the speeder accelerating to the desired speed. As it is, it literally just multiplies your movement speed by 110% and moves at that pace. There is no feeling of it surging forward and gradually getting to that speed. Of course, this is such a small feature that I doubt it would be implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsheraII Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I also still think that crashing into an obstacle should blow up the speeder and kill the driver, just like in the original trilogy. I have little hope for that to ever happen though, but it's at the top of my list for upgrades to the speeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt many people would consider your speeder actually being able to kill you an "upgrade" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelodicSixNine Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 This effect would need to come with faster speeders, which not got going to happen anytime soon. I don't really care about faster speeders at this point. Worlds are so small I don't really need a faster one. I would love to see swoop/speeder racing mini game on the other hand where they can give us that feel of speed Imagine: tournaments, upgrading your speeder, custom paint...

LohKey Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Current speeder speed is NOT speedy. In fact I think a walmart electric chair/cart would beat a SWTOR speeder with 2 jet engines attached, how sad is that? They need to change their names from speeder to slower..

kijthae Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Its called Motion Blur. If they use it with hero engine , you require a supercomputer to be able to play swtor at 20 fps. Its slowest , hardest thing to render. I rendered my graduation project animation ( only 1.20 minutes ) in a week. Main reason was motion blur.

Thanks for the Naming I didnt know that, just the feeling. I really dont know how to implement it into this Game but i do think that there is a way. There are alot Games wich have better graphics than swtor wich have this effect and they dont break my computer (i have a middle class computer from 2011) So maybe there is a way. The Devs just have to try it out, and actually see this Thread /push Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motion Blur is not the slowest or hardest thing to render in a game, at all. Comparing video rendering and game rendering are like comparing apples and oranges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LodSock Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yeah all that motion blur would be doable.. WoW has it when you're drunk Also agree that the speeders are more like hover rascals, as they are pretty slow. I'm sure I can sprint in real life faster then those things.

Lionflash Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 There is also an alternative method to make the speeders move faster, take LSD. It really helps me but unfortunately it makes me terrible at PVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Some changes to the handling of the speeders would help, like adding in some acceleration, and some elevation off the ground as you accelerate. At the moment speeders hug the ground so much that every little bump is reflected in the actual motions of the speeder, making it feel like its attached to the ground. Some speeders actually touch the ground. I think the current speed of mounts may be a conscious design decision to artificially make the worlds feel bigger. The best compromise would be to add in a "boost" feature which would give you a huge speed boost while on your speeder for a short time. Add to this some lens flare effects on the engine thrusters to signify top speed, and some cool "woosh" sounds effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimsPicken Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 This game doesnt have speeders. It has Slowers. Huge maps with tons of "you cant get there from here" and the slowest travel system in any current MMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sliverspark Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 They already have something like this in effect; when you get on a speeder your field of view is narrowed so it appears that you are moving faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On certain quests you pick up NPC's that tag along and they can RUN as fast as my "speeder" goes. Now that is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
