Dakkongj Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Was the Kurtob speeder nerfed? There is no mention of it in the patch notes. I decided to start a new character to check out the new intros, yet the mount isn't going its normal 110% speed (as stated in the tooltip and what was used as a selling feature for it). It seems to be going 90% like the other mounts now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macarrin Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I noticed this as well. On fleet, with speeder piloting I, it seemed actually slower to me than the victor's trailblazer, but I admit that it might not be. Just overall disappointed, I generally use the Alliance until i get speeder III and find something more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakkongj Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Hopefully this is a bug or a unintended change, because the 110% speed was the only reason to get the speeder. Which was originally used as their big incentive to get people to use their RaF program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagertharn Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 It was changed long ago in 3.2 to adaptive. A quick forum search told me so. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=803442&highlight=Kurtob+Alliance+speeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macarrin Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Except, the Kurtob Alliance was not actually changed, every other non-adaptive speeder was, such as the Avalanche Heavy Tank and those floating Czerka lawnmower things from the planetary speeder vendors. Even this moment, the tooltip for the Alliance states: "...increasing movement speed to 110% regardless of the rank of your Speeder Piloting skill..." Plus it was working as written 4 days ago when I made a new vanguard. This is either a nerf, or more likely, a really odd bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damask_Rose Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 It was changed long ago in 3.2 to adaptive. A quick forum search told me so. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=803442&highlight=Kurtob+Alliance+speeder There was enough outcry from people about the proposed change that they decided to leave the Kurtob Alliance at 110% as advertised.

Nexdine Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 If it isn't 110% now, it should be fixed. It's not otherwise a very attractive mount, but it comes in handy if you start a new character. Granted, these days you can get a fast mount earlier than ever before, but still. It was a reward for referring 5 people. It should still be there for those who have.

Andryah Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) While it was listed as changed quite a while ago, I don't think it actually was. Hence, this could has simply been a clean up to "working as intended". For several major patches now I see the studio progressively doing things to harmonize and streamline how everything works in game. Honestly, I never use the mount anymore. There are so many more enjoyable mounts to choose from AND we have so many quick travel options, from level 1 onward. Besides the difference in speed between 90% and 110% is really not that significant (which is a whole other discussion topic). The 110% speed at level 1 was a great incentive to promote referrals back in the early days of the game, but now days... not so much... precisely because we have so many quick travel options in game now.

tummiswtor Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 It is a reward for 1 person. Reward for account. Created new char 3-4 days ago, and had this mount in mailbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GelstonJ Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Reward for account. Created new char 3-4 days ago, and had this mount in mailbox. Yes, it is account wide, as are all the referral bonuses. You get it for 1 referral, not 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodaz Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Yeah the Kurtob is broken for sure. I can run around the fleet faster then the speeder as it is right now. All other mounts are faster even boosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aderes Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Here's a video showing why it's broken. And to the posts about how this speeder needs to be nerfed: http://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=8104426&postcount=25 This speeder is a recruit a friend speeder and was intended to be 110% with high resistance to knock-off as a incentive. The speeder is broken right now. Edited May 3, 2017 by Aderes clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrizzlyUK Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 There is a topic over in the Bug Reports forum regarding the Kurtob Alliance Speeder having lost it's movement speed bonus since this weeks patch: Kurtob Alliance Speeder Maybe adding your comments to that thread will help attract attention to this bug?
