Well now in SWTOR you can do this! Now I see all kinds of posts how people DO NOT WANT this!

People are so Funny!!
Try reading the thread. No one said anything of the sort, nice try at dismissal though. The subject is needless and tedious travel time. Now keep up from here on.

This aint Star Trek, its Star Wars. That said, it didnt take 5-10 mins to travel from plnet to planet in ST.

It could be streamlined I agree. I wouldn't want it eliminated though.

And fleet pass cooldown could be lower than 18 hours I think.

Load screens add immersion? Pretty sure 30 years of videogame design say load screens KILL immersion.

This is a pretty sweet scam in MMOs, add incredible time sinks and have some of your more deranged playerbase lap it up.

This one is particularly ridiculous and blatant. Running to dungeons in EQ/WoW, though time consuming, was actually immersive and might have SOME value. But THIS? Running through a series of disconnected load screens is immersive my ***.

Travel isn't long. It's just annoying to have to go to a specific place to get into your ship for 5 seconds then your out again.

Also.. how is it that it can cost me 9 credits in fuel to fly to a planet? 9 credits!?
Point to Nose, cant stand the Loading screens and the 50-50 chance I might crash during them, specially in the lkast week.

If coming to the forums really makes you that sad, don't come here bro. People are pissed because of a lackluster game, we want to see the game suceed but there is still so much left to fix before it's even near that level.


I agree you miss read my post, I hate the community here, they seem stuck in 2004, this game could be great but people backing this poor decisions are adding to the problem. The only people happy with the current state are new gamers, fanboys or ****** players, still waiting on the AA patch, the bug fixes, and a decent LFG tool, current one is not working, and spamming chat does not add to the community. Like all mmos fix the crap fast or people will leave, even if they fix it down the road it may be to late. Being a pain in the as to get any where does no add to the immersion but to frustration

Dont forget, you now have about a 17 hour delay before you can do that gain...
