KROSSDARK Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I played SWG and I love getting on my bike and taking a long ride out into the wilderness. I even had a house out there. I don't know why these kids have no patience these days but it does no bode well for the upcoming games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylin Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) How speeders should be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RexFsA_KWgQ How speeders are: I LOL'd. Yep, have to agree. It's a misnomer to call them "speeders" in SWTOR when they go so slow. I can understand the lvl 25 speeder giving a 90% speed increase. But at lvl 40, there's no excuse for dropping 210,000 to get a 10% bonus. It should be more like 90% > 150% > 200% instead of 90>100>110. Come on, Bioware... what were you thinking????

Do you realize that around +100% (aka double running speed) is the standart ground mount speed in most mmos (I say "around"). If they make it +200% (aka triple) what will they do 2-3 years from now? They will make 600% mount maybe? You dont see big difference because your first mount is called Sprint +35% at lvl14 and most compare against it not against pure running.

You dont see big difference because your first mount is called Sprint +35% at lvl14 and most compare against it not against pure running. Actually, no, that's not my problem at all. My problem is that there are currently 3 levels of mounted speed in the game and there is hardly any difference between them at all. From 90 to 100? And then 100 to 110? Please. If, using your argument, Sprint is a barometer for mount speed increases, then the difference between lvl 25, 40, and 50 mounted speed should be 30-40% increases, not 10%. And for the record, current mounted speeds in, for example, WoW, are ~500% of running speed, and it took 7 years for that to happen. Even the vanilla mounted speed went from 60% to 100%. Bioware could go 35% (Sprint), 100% (lvl 25), 150% (lvl 40), 180% (lvl 50), and still have room for 5-7 years of speed increases through content. It's not as if mounted speed has to increase with each expansion. The problem, as others have pointed out, is that in SWTOR it just doesn't seem like you're going very fast... because you aren't.

Shillen Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Run is 10 mphThat makes a level 50 speeder 21 mph Speeder should be 60-70 at least. There is zero reason to increase mount speed through expansions. Edited January 15, 2012 by Shillen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill mobs. 5 more minutes of travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruticuss Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) if made too fast would it create an issue when using in small hallways and paths in fleet? I can see a bunch of peeps crashing into walls and what not Edited January 15, 2012 by Bruticuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
