faster mounts pleeeeeeeaaaseeeeeeeee

Etchii · 03-21-2007, 05:22 PM

I'm talking 500% or more.

Less time spend traveling = more time spent questing!

that is all. Thanks.

jrm99002 · 03-21-2007, 05:24 PM

500%? lol And you think rendering is bad NOW? SMILEY

Cool by me.. as long as its exclusive to the PvE servers.

interstellarmatter · 03-21-2007, 06:32 PM

500%?? What are you, the Six Million Dollar Man?

Mistletoes · 03-21-2007, 06:41 PM

What guild level would you need to be to purchase a helicopter?

tass · 03-21-2007, 07:07 PM

I doubt there going to be able to increase mount speed nearly any more otherwise there would be no way to even be in any danger. Hell u could run through epics at that speed and not thing twice.

Lornick · 03-21-2007, 07:51 PM

There was a bug for a couple days where the mage classes invis spells granted a HUGE increase to runspeed. Like 600 to 800% runspeed depending on class. It really was a lot of fun to run around that fast, but omg was it game breaking. I think I got killed a lot more running off of high places (prior to fall damage being nerfed to nothing) than anything else. So a 500% mount is a pretty bad idea, but I wouldn't be opposed to like a 10s super runspeed buff on a long recast timer.

Rofl! A new mount (not a horse or a carpet) that goes at 100% speed would be just dandy SMILEY

Just ask the devs to bring back Spirit OF Norrath from EQ1. It was the guide's speed inhancement in EQ1...It was a decent speed...Not 500% but very very fast....

Zones full of epics usually don't allow mounts in the first place. The few epics that roam outside zones are easily avoidable even if you would WALK.

Most zones that DO allow mounts are grey to a lvl 70 (Aside from barron sky, and LP).

Why do i need to go super slow through grey zones??? Combat disables horse run speeds for anything non grey anyways.

not everyone is lvl 70, and people have alts less than 70. all those toons can get mounts too, so a superspeed mount wouldnt just effect lvl 70 players...

Heheh, ah yes, I remember when that happened with the first combat revamp. Cast invis, and managed to run arcoss half of Zek in like 5 seconds. I was sorely tempted to use it to finish off the Journyman's Boots quest at the time SMILEY

Zagats · 03-22-2007, 02:51 PM

We dont need faster mounts that we have to purchase.

I would like to see griffon-like speed mounts for some zones though, like Butcherblock and Greater Faydark. It's boring having to run through a zone like these where you know you're not going to die, yet have to spend the 15 mins running across them just to get one quest update.

Make friends with a Fury that's level 39+. SMILEY

With the Predator line enhanced by AA (perma 35% runspeed) and Pact of Cheetah, a Fury runs at bursts of 100% runspeed.

Druid03 · 03-22-2007, 06:33 PM

500% would be impossible to control

but a 60%, 70% mount would be cool SMILEY

Savanja · 03-22-2007, 06:49 PM

Doood. I want a classic 'Vette at 1000% run speed increase! My barbarian would be SO [Removed for Content]. Seriously..not sure how much faster toons should be without it being a bit silly. The horses in LFay feel stupid fast, its like riding on a race horse.

Supernova17 · 03-22-2007, 07:11 PM

Haha I remember on my Warlock the day I logged in and he had 528% runspeed on his invis. Traveled from the TS Griffon station in Ant to Qeyons on foot in about 47 seconds. Blew across TS from the Ant entrance to Cove of Decay in about a minute. God that was fun! I have a video of it somewhere on one of my old harddrives =/

I've run at 100% run speed on my fury and THAT's almost impossible to control. 500% speed would be ridiculous.

Although, maybe the OP should be given such a fast mount...then we can wait for the "I keep running off cliffs! Slow my horse down!" post that will inevitably follow.

MrWolfie · 03-22-2007, 08:57 PM

I'm completely happy with the speed of all mounts.

Except for, y'know, reverse speed.

I'm completely happy with everyone's speed buff skills.

Except for the recent OTT nerf to Mystic AAs.

So I guess I'm not completely happy SMILEY

Nocifer Deathblade · 03-23-2007, 12:22 PM

Oh man.. Reverse speed GOTTA go!!! It sucks big time.. Now more classes with AA can run on foot fast forward and back equally. Horse reverse happened before EOF came out with all new speed enchancing. I thought horse reverse was cuz of PVP reason but now it's getting pointless as more classes can run back and forth equally well so good time to abolish the idea of stupid horse reverse speed. Then Cavaliers like me will be happy. SMILEY
