Thelgow Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Exactly what I was thinking. I have a feeling those speeders on Endor are a hair faster than 90%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomla Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I find it amusing they call them "speeders". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laeris Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Your head would explode on one of the Everquest boats, if you're old enough to remember that. And don't forget the waiting at the dock for 15 minutes to get on said boat that took 15 minutes to get somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blogmonster Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 This is starwars! Not some hotsy potsy orcs/elves fantasy on dead horseback electrocuting it to temporarily move its behind a few micrometers! This is starwars where the speeders are so fast you could go back in time to find out why your great grandma cut off the end of the pot roast!!!!

I ship you not I was once playing WoW with a little cousin of mine and said we were off to kill a few laser turkeys but we had to wait for a boat to pick us up! We waited for so long for that damn boat that it was his bed time before it arrived. He still had a blast thinking about one day fighting a laser turkey. We talked about that laser turkey for hours.

Baizak Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Get to 40 and your mounts go faster than at 25 , get to 50 and they go faster than at 40. Weather they decided to do it because other games do it this way, or because they have another reason is completely arbitrary. It is the way it is and wheeling out the whaaaabulance will not change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blogmonster Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Get to 40 and your mounts go faster than at 25 , get to 50 and they go faster than at 40. Weather they decided to do it because other games do it this way, or because they have another reason is completely arbitrary. It is the way it is and wheeling out the whaaaabulance will not change it. The OP underlines that tradition isn't always a good thing and sometimes is misinterpreted entirely. The era of gating content by making travel slow and boring is of an age gone by. The same way BW heralded a new age and standard of questing in MMO's.

Blogmonster Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 So that they can introduce faster mounts later? 20%+ extra speed at level 50! Now we're going at speed bike speeds! /rolleyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadenKayne Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Have to agree with the OP. These are Geezer Speeders. They`re like for really old people who might fall off or something. The speeders in SWG rocked. They were fast! And in first person, even better! That`s about the only thing SWG did right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I interest you in those 2 datacron cubes on Tatooine? You have to wait for a hot air balloon which takes 20 mins from where you get on to destination. However you could wait 20-30 minutes or so just for it to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blogmonster Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) They're trying to make it like you are REALLY THERE. Immersion! Hee! Starwars vehicles go really, REALLY! Really fast. These do not. Why are there non-starwars vehicles in a starwars game? Why? Why, why, why, WHY?!!!?

Blogmonster Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 You invented a time machine and used it to do something as trivial as ask your great-grandmother why she cut the end off the pot roast? It's not on topic to talk about the other adventures I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koxi Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Why does this always happen in MMO's, they make travel so static and boring? Why, why, why, why, why?!?!? I just don't get it! I have this story: My mother cuts off the end of the pot roast, I asked her why she did it. She told me to ask her mother, so I asked my grandma why she did it. She told me to ask her mother. So I invented a time machine to ask my grandmothers mother why she cuts off the end of the damn pot roast. So I finally got to ask her, why do you cut off the end of the pot roast???? D'you know what she said? Because it didn't fit in the frikkin' pan! Is bioware sticking to this static speed buff thing because all other MMO's did it? And that it caps off around the 100%+ mark because all previous MMO's did it? Do you even question if it's a good thing? I'm having such a bad day today argh! Is it faster than walking/running...yes - Stop your moaning! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
