I find it funny no one has a problem standing around waiting for a boat to the other continent or the super long flight from one end of the continent or the other but they get to jump on their ship anytime they want and fly for 3 seconds. The only wait is a 30sec-2min load screen depending on your system and they cry?

In some games you travel for 10 min on the boat one way and there is only 1 boat so when you miss it you got to wait for it to travel 10 mins one way, wait to load passengers and 10mins back then wait for it to leave again to wait 10mins while you get there.

Yea walking through a spaceport is soooooooooo long.

This. There are other more important things, in my opinion, that the dev team should be working on and I am sure that when those things get resolve the load screen time will be shortened as an effect of those fixes.

Oh yeah because it's sooo painful to run a bit and be in a social setting to get to your mailbox. You know, might as well put all the trainers and all the NPCs on your starship so you never have to leave it.

What's wrong with you guys? Everybody knows this type of laziness kills a game, ESPECIALLY THE MMO PART.
Think in the case its the laziness of Bioware and their CS people that are killing the game.

NUTS!

I mean, I agree. The amount of running that is required to get from planet to planet is a little bit much. I remember on my class quest after finishing a planet (I think it was Taris) I got told to go to my Intercom... the quest then went like this.

Taris >> Intercom >> Dromond Kass >> Intercom >> Dromond Kass >> Intercom >> Korribon >> Intercom

Each time I went to a new destination I only had to talk to one NPC and then proceed to the next destination. The amount of running that was required was absurd.

Typical for this generation of WOW KIDDIES to want their entertainment to be entertaining!

Back in my day would had to cut a finger off and write a game developer's name on the wall in blood just to be allowed to log in. ONCE. We weren't afraid to earn things back then, and sit around doing nothing for hours on end chatting about how boring it was to sit around and do nothing for hours on end chatting about how boring it was to sit around and do nothing for hours on end chatting about how boring it was to sit around and do nothing for hours on end chatting about how boring it was to sit around and do nothing for hours on end. Not only that but...

But...


What was I saying?

Being able to Quick Travel directly to your ship (or at least right outside the door) would be welcome.

Speaking of mail (someone did), why do I even have to go to a mailbox? I currently can read my mail on my phone pretty much no matter where I am, why not in a world with spaceships and insta-travel? If a "shuttle" can appear in the middle of the cave I'm in to whisk me away to wherever I told it, why can't I get a package.

I agree and disagree.

I believe the number of loading screens are ridiculous, I cannot believe anyone would build that many loading screens. Insane.

However, I don't like the idea of instant travel because it does impact the ability to see and perhaps link up with others.

My suggestions:

Cut the number of loading screens
Increase the speed of the character:
Sprint at lvl 1
Enhanced sprint at lvl 14 (Sprint + some %)
Speeder at 25 that increases enhanced sprint speed some %
Speeder at 50 that increases speeder 25 speed some %
Have the speeders be able to fly and maneuver through the air, so we can fly over the mountains
Have the speeders have blaster cannons on them, so we have air PVP

You can Quick Travel to the Fleet Shuttle. Close enough.

Because mail is not instant. The reason why it takes you an he to get an ITEM mailed to you from another player is because someone has to deliver it to the mailbox. There's an underground system of tubes that track which mailbox you're near to so that no matter which mailbox you check it on it's there.

Oh here we go. Couldn't have it in WoW, so now you want to bring the argument over here.
