I can't take the pointless travelling between planets...

why are people defending this? doy ou want the game to lose subs?

people who can't play more than 1 hour or so per day won't like this crap

altho, I would actually be fine with the current system if they removed the black loading screens + made every ladoing screen DECENT and they only lasted ~5 seconds on an SSD (instead of the current 55seconds some planets, Nar Shaddaa being one of them)

I"m sorry but there is NO immersion in the current system. There is nothing immersive about hard zones and tons of loading screens to take you to empty cookie cutter looking identical stations and spaceports.

ZERO Immersion. None. Nadda. Zilch. It is the antithesis of immersion. Consider immersion broken and cast into a dark abyss from whence it shall not return. Seriously.

To be immersive it would have to be seamless and have some form of UNIQUENESS about each port or station.

To be immersive it would have to have LIFE breathed in to it so that I heard more than my footsteps plodding along on the metal floor as I walk down dead and hallow nothingness.

In WoW, Vanguard and other games it would take you LONGER than SWTOR to get from place to place...but y'know what? Most of it was completely seamless and immersive so I did not tire of it.

It's far faster to travel in this game but much more mediocre and mundane with NO immersion whatsoever. So please....stop arguing about the "immersion quality" to the current system. There is none.

Haha. Some people need to try freighters in EVE. AFK travelling is also big no-no.

No, no, no. It's not just a feat.

It's a FEATURE. lmao

I'm not roleplaying or doing much of anything when travelling between planets except clicking on switches and going through multiple loading screens.

There seems to be a good amount of people who like running through airlocks. Maybe I'll create a game called 'airlock' where people can just run endlessly through a corridor that never ends. Maybe the goal could be never to touch a wall. Maybe I could even create a loading screen every 15 seconds to make you think you're in a different airlock, like a maze or something.

Good post. Agree wholeheartedly.

Ugh. Like EQ1 where you had to run on foot almost everywhere until you could afford a horse... and even then if you wanted to go to a different continent you had to wait for the boat for like 10 mins (unless you got lucky), then actually ride the boat across the ocean(more or less)... it took years to travel before they added the whole Nexus thing... I never minded it much though, made it more immersive even if it wasn't 100% necessary.

Not that I necessarily want that style travel again, but kids these days are spoiled and don't even realize it. I would rather have some travel than just open the map, click a location and be there instantly... that's just not fun.

P.S. And someone mentioned EVE... that game is just one big punishment that people pay to experience... I don't get it... I seriously felt like I was getting kicked in the groin every time I logged on. This game is a picnic...

Man, if travel in this game was was unbearable because of the "wasting time", you've probably never played any other MMOs...

If it's people who constantly complain, then yes I do!

If you only have 1 hour of play time, an MMORPG is NOT for you!

You know that this is a game, right? We don't have jedi and sith in real life either.

Hell, if we're going to use the "realism" card, space travel, even in the SW universe, takes days, sometimes weeks depending on the destination. Maybe we should be stuck in the ship for a few days while traveling?
