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

I do not understand why people complain about using a spaceship and the time it takes between planets. Most games of this have time sinks in the way of travel and generally SWTOR's is faster.

The Zepellins and boats in WOW were way slower for instance.

At first, this is star wars not wow, they have to use another way to travel against the planets...

i agree that we use too much time at travel to another planet, but HEY will you be happy if i tell you i have all the needs to swtor but still not enough so i have to wait more than 5 mins every loads of a planet

k, i buy another computer later

Let it be the way it is on RP servers and for everyone else change the system
Now the RP people cant complain and they can have fun with their timesink

Well it takes time. It is desined to make you pay for it.

It doesn't though.


Your ship flies from anywhere in the galaxy to anywhere else in the galaxy in exactly the same ridiculously fast time (about 5 seconds).

It takes longer to run across a space-port that it does for your ship to fly across the Galaxy.

In fact it take longer for most players to get though a loading screen than it does for your ship to fly across the Galaxy.

I like it the way it is now. It brings a sence of realism.. you have to plan your trips.

I'm from the day when in EQ you had to take a boat to get to different continents (or pay a druid/wizard to port you). So it took up to 20 minutes or longer to get where you wanted to go. When Planes of Power introduced instant travel through the knowledge books and seemed to take away the whole community/realism of it all.

^^This. A thousand times this. But the reality is the self-indulgent whiners simply do not want to face facts and verifiable evidence.

It's just much easier for them to complain rather than bring constructive criticism to the table.

Lol. Guess you never flew from Teldrassil to Un'goro crater in WoW. That was LITERALLY a 25 minute flight. I got up, watched a TV show, then I was in the place i wanted to go.

Goal: Get to Republic Fleet.
Steps:
1. Find Shuttle
2. Chose Orbital Station
3. Wait for the loading screen to complete
4. Run through Orbital Station (1~ minute of running)
5. Click Elevator, Chose Airlock
6. Wait for scenery change (10 seconds)
7. Run to Class Airlock Room (1~ minute of running)
8. Enter Space Ship
9. Wait for loading (20~ seconds)
10. Run up to the Galaxy Map inside your ship. (5-10 seconds)
11. Click Fleet
12. Wait for scenery change
13. Run down to ship exit, click door.
14. Wait for loading screen (1-2 minutes depending on performance)
15. Arrive at Fleet
16. Do your business.

16 Steps? Really necessary? This whole process takes like 10-15 minutes or even more, depending whether or not you're close to a shuttle, assuming you even know where the closest one is.
Get your **** together. We don't like _pointless_ traveling like this. Your game is NOT FUN.

However in SWTOR you wouldn't be able to do that, you'd have to sit at your PC for the entire journey negotiating Loading Screens.

So whilst the maximum journey time in SWTOR is shorter, equally this is more than negated by not being able to do it AFK and indeed literally having to sit their and start at loading screens before running a bit to another loading screen.

This is just bad game design.
