Speeders travel at 110% increased movement speed.

When you base an argument on assumptions you should just stop and move along...maybe even do something crazy like rethink what it is you believe.

Take for example if I say something along the line of, I am assuming that all of you people that are not perfectly happy with the speeds of mounts use up all your instant travels and just want to instantly get everywhere in the game no matter where it is and what you are doing.

Taadaa!

Only if you are playing at semantics im afraid. If you sit there and say its not 'logical' that the speeders travel so slowly, the implication is that its only illogical because its not realistic. What other possible reason is it illogical?

Erm... I think you are aggreeing with me here. Im not sure how Im being 'dense' you are arguing against me despite saying almost exactly the same thing. Again, are you utterly incapable of having a discussion without insulting the other person?

The game HAS slighly faster mounts. You start at one speed and the last one is slightly faster.

What possible benifit would their be to making them all 'slightly' faster again, you probably wouldnt even notice the change.

How is that ridiculous? Define 'fast'. Drive on a motorway (If you can drive, I dont know) and while driving on a motorway look ahead of you, look at the cars around you. It doesnt FEEL like you are traveling fast because the relative speeds of the cars around you and the fact the road is so large. Now drive at 40mph along a twisting narrow road. You FEEL like you are going fast, even when you are travelling about half the speed you were on the motorway.

Taxis dont FEEL fast (at least the ones on balmora, alderan and nashadda) because they travel quite high (especially the skyhopper one) and there is no scenery flashing by and therefore it is hard to actually define how fast you are going.

Define how you would make them FEEL faster. Adding 10% speed to each level wouldnt make them FEEL fast, I would barely notice the change. 20% perhaps a little difference. 50%, sure I would notice to speed difference, but would they feel 'speeder' fast, no. So what is it you are actually asking for?

read it, educate yourself.

@WarTornPanda - how far over your head do all these reasons people are pointing out go?

Try jumping when you read this, or stand on you chair.

There is a physical cap for technical reasons why you can only go a certain speed and that cap should be reached as the game ends its life, not as the game starts its life.

The planets are designed to take x time to cross, if you go 20% faster the planets will become 20% larger.

The other stuff you are arguing about is just arguing for arguing's sake.

Yeah how about the millions of posts on the subject. Are you daft? What more proof do you need?

Look, the core complaint here is people with sprint basically move at the same speed as a speeder. Thats beyond dumb. People want a relative, noticeable gain. They don't care about realism.

I honestly would rather see sprint and actual movement speed nerfed, because leveling in this game needs to slow to a crawl if its going to survive. Once all these fanboi's hit 50 and realize the 'panda lovers' were right all along, this game will be doomed.

Yes and that complaint is complete nonesense.

Are you actually trying to say that you cannot zip past a person sprinting?!? lol...and THAT is why these topics accomplish NOTHING...most of the points people make are a joke, I can come up with actual VALID reasons for faster mounts and I dont even want them so why can you come up with one since you actually want it?

I agree that the 90, 100, 110 speeds are too slow. I would much prefer something like 100, 125, 150.

Yeah, why don't you go in game and race somebody thats sprinting while you are on your 90% speeder, and then take your foot out of your mouth.

Do any of you fanboi's even play this game, or do you just sit on the forums all day getting 'MAD' at the bad press this game is getting.

Funny, I just asked if you never zipped by someone sprinting and you reply with that...look at my post history and come back and say you are sorry for calling ME a fanboy...your argument is so weak you had no choice but call me that...no wait, you wont do that cause then you will be defeating your own attempt to discredit my character to cover your weak argument so ill do it for you and destroy YOURS.
