This is supposed to be a fun game... not a drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
I have no problems with the travel. I expect to have to travel from planet to planet and place to place. If you want to be BEAMED from place to place there is a game for that.

I enjoy the travel system, no need to be in such a hurry.

Well then,lets go with your example;

-enter taxi,drive halfway to airport...
-get out,walk for10 minutes,then take another taxi the rest of way to airport..
-walk to the terminal furthest away from entrance..
-get in a small plane that flies you to another airport...
-walk from one end of that airport to the other,just so you can take the elevator up one floor.
-walk back across the entire airport get on the plane you really wanted..

-once that lands,reverse the prosess to get where you are going...



Now,are we having fun yet?

Don't argue realism in a video game, it's a losing battle. Unless you want to reroll every time your character dies.

The solution is simple: go play a FPS. You obviously have no interest in the immersion the travel system provides, which is important to those of us who actually care about RP elements in the game.

Is whatever you're doing so tremendously important that you cant take the time to use your ship and need to insta port all over the universe in a completely unrealistic way?

I just don't get why people who are only concerned with completing tasks as fast as possible like little robots even play MMOPRGs to begin with.

Sounds like the PVP and PVE servers that are not RP would benefit from having the option to quick travel or do it the long way, while keeping the RP servers with no option to be quicker keeping the immersion.

I enjoy realism as much as the next guy, but if we're really travelling between planets it probably takes light years. Are you really going to sit at your computer for the next 3000 years waiting to arrive on the next planet? No, of course not.

If given the option to fast-travel between planets or do the whole orbital station/airlock/hangar crap, which are you going to choose? I don't think anyone actually 'likes' it, they just tolerate it because they have to.

Isn't that a bit like forcing RP elements on others though? Can't you just stand there for 10 minutes and pretend you are waiting on your flight to arrive?

You can blame the game that made everyone think the "real fun" starts at "end game."

Since most of these people came from there, they just want Bioware to roll over and make it just like the game they came from, except with lightsabers.

I admire Bioware for NOT focusing most of their resources on "end game." Games should be fun from the first level!

Thank you Bioware!
