Sprint & Speeder Suggestion

I disagree with Sprint upgrading as you level the way things are designed right now.

If there was a Stamina bar like in Diablo II, wich drained as you Sprint, upgrading Sprint would make sense only by making it drain less Stamina, thus allowing longer Sprinting.

Increasing Sprint speed as you level, however, doesn't really make sense.

One of the important things in a futuristic MMO is the realism.
Even within fantasy, there needs to be a degree of realism that keeps you interested, thus the need for actual travel.

Excessive travel vs actual content is a different problem, though it may be the root of the current speed - maybe BioWare wants us to take X time to do stuff in order not to eat away their content too fast.

But if so, remove Quick Travel & Imperial Fleet Pass in exchange for the immersive changes I've suggested.

Any more feedback?

Bump on this thread. The speeders are to damn slow. and the increase is to damn small and it cost friggin much to go 10% faster.

How about lowering the price on training and increasing the price on speeders and let people get a choice to buy faster speeders that are more expensive.

Offtopic (what would people think about having a minigame on tatooine. a speeder race.
I think that could be kinda fun) Just something that crossed my mind.

I bought my lvl 40 speeder skill+ speeder 2 days ago.
i actually never looked at what speed increase it would give me. so i jumped on my new speeder and...................like omg this is slow. am i doing something wrong.

besides that the speed increase is hardly noticable, it really is slow all together. in a weird way.
if you look at the terrain under you, you really are gliding awkwardly slow. not sure how to describe better

I hope whatever slow-ness Speeders have right now is but temporary.
Because, even though I really like this game, this and a few other things about the game may end up burning me out.

I like this idea and support it

yeah and in episode II anakin goes fast as hell on his bike http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJGuK...eature=related

You forget the COSTS !

Would i be able to get an automatic speeder. Cause eff shifting.

The costs will be fit if the speed makes sense.

im in support of something like this. I can deal with the sprint being as is, and as stated it really needs to be toggleable for getting some of the datacrons i don't think sprint really needs an adjustment as is.

Now the speeders on the other hand. my god.... There's about 3 problems in my eyes.

1) The 'physics' of these mounts just feels incredibly terrible. I feel like there are animations or something missing, it is the most awkward 'glide' i have ever seen. It just feels really bleh, and movement makes 0 sense for a 'vehicle'

2) They don't feel faster than Sprint at all. Now they are if you have a buddy run next to you, but here's the thing : the game does this weird FOV change when you mount up rendering it to 'feel' like you aren't going any faster. Even then, 90% feels pretty 'meh' tho completely necessary once you get to places as big as Tatooine.

3) Why would anyone in their right mind even bother with speeder piloting rank 2 and 3? I mean, 35% (sprint) to 90% (speeder rank 1) is a noticable upgrade. 10% more ontop of that? why even bother? I know people say 'oh you can afford it anyway'...but...why? why even bother? save the credits.

Speeders are just super super disappointing to me. Very poorly done.
