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

Let's say for instance I'm on a planet and i want to go to the next planet...

I start off on planet A... I have to run through the pointless space station that for some reason looks the exact same on every planet...

I think I then have to zone into the hangar of my class... then I have to run all the way to shuttle or whatever...

Then for whatever reason I'm now on a pointless orbital station... god dammit! So I have to run to the next point where I have to zone... now I'm in a gosh darn airlock??? jesus Christ when will I get to my Spaceship...

Ok cool I'm finally on my spaceship... oh my god I wish my stupid droid had something else to say other than the same 5 lines every time I zoned in... I wish he would shutup already!

Ok cool, finally I'm ready to go to the planet I want... what the hell I'm in the gosh darn airlock again... awesome I'll just run through that again for whatever pointless reason...

Jesus Christ I'm on another orbital station. I guess I'll just spend more time running to the stupid shuttle... is there even a point to this stupid orbital station other than pissing me off...

Cool I'm finally on the planet I want... oh Jesus tapdancing Christ i have to run through the hangar again... oh look I zoned into the exact same space station again? is this even a different planet or am I on the same one? Guess I'll have to run through this generic space station to see what planet I'm on...

All that time wasted for no reason...
My point... please for the love of god BW... make travel between planets less painful...

Don't worry folks... GW2 has instant travel between places you've been. Their goal is to make the game fun... not a timesink!

Personally I don't see what the big deal is. Honestly it doesn't take that long and I am not sure where you are getting these orbital stations at because as far I am aware I have only encountered those traveling to Ord or Tython and they don't take that long to transit.


Travel times add to the feeling of expansion in the universe. If you could always pop to where you wanted more and more people would complain that the verse felt to small.

Seriously it isn't as bad in other games and actually I feel it strikes a good balance.

I'm fine with it the way it is.

I don't mind the whole ship travel to planet element but I get what you're saying about the time it takes to get from the planet to the ship.

Orbital stations are used a cheap fix so they don't have to do another ship leaving from/to planet surface animation.

I'm pretty sure orbital stations are here to stay, because they seem to be tied to certain quests. They're basically private instances.

They could at least allow speeders in them, and hopefully do something about the crappy load times this game has, though.

takes 5 min to travel across the galaxy.

too me that is fast travel.

Did this really need to be started again? This thread lost any constructiveness quite some time ago.

Agree with OP ...

Its bad enough I pay 15 bucks a month ... but jesus h. christ ... travel sucks *** in this game ... don't make me pay for that too..
