Dawginole Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I have found it really ironic that we have these taxis on other planets that force you to go on the awful long rides through dreary planets, but then on the most beautiful planet that BW has created so far with simply amazing vistas you do an insta warp for your taxis instead of letting us get to fly around these floating mesas to see all the tremendous art work. Such a shame. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senga_J Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Actually, it blacks over your screen and you just zoom through makeb REALLY fast. It didn't black out for me one time, so I watched the speeder slowly take off, and then go a million miles an hour to my destination. Somewhat entertaining actually.

That's actually just your character passing out from the acceleration. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVitrial Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I personally find it more convenient this way...I'd be happy if all the taxis (especially the Alderaan ones) were instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KostonxEld Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Lol what content do you experience riding a taxi? You aren't missing much. If they have you go to black screen during travel, tere aren't any visuals to miss. And the way makeb is set up, you can't speeder to a lot of the points. Just taxi. Relax people, for the first game expansion, this one ROCKS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radzkie Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I personally find it more convenient this way...I'd be happy if all the taxis (especially the Alderaan ones) were instant. Same. I really wish all of them were insta warp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the Avatar film where there were the floating sections of earth. It's like that. You have to take taxi's to the various sections. You'll see tomorrow.

I know what you mean, although something between the two would be nice too, you know fast enough that a Taxi ride doesn't take fifteen minutes but slow enough for you to see some of the scenery, maybe two-three times the speed of the current Taxi's. P.S. EA if you're reading this nice scenery is not the main point of a game, speed up the Taxi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lung_Tien_Lien Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I actually thought that was really neat when I first used a taxi there. I'm tired of using a taxi and thinking, hm, might be worth it to go grab a snack in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vis-Tecum Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 /rolls eyes at mmo players yeah insta warp to trash mobs... awesome nar shaddaa has some of the most awesome taxi rides, along with some of the other planets. why would you be happy to lose that for a loading screen? would it of really made your rush to 55 so unbearable that you couldnt be the first to complain theres nothing to do and you leveled too fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJUplift Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The quickness is nice on the taxi's, however it is total immersion breaker and this game has enough trouble with that as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe some of the people are actually vouching for this change. Must be min/maxers. While we're at it, why not get rid of flying mounts on Alderaan? I mean, who cares about actually feeling like you're in a living, breathing world, right? It's all about the stats.

JanosCorvinus Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 So to sum up the thread, instant taxis ruin the immersion and waste scenery but we want instant travel everywhere as the scenry and immersion is not the game and so irrelevant.

Conclusion? Make it optional. Though I'd rather they didn't. Edited April 15, 2013 by Machine-Elf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
