Travelling Speed - new solution of old problem

(1/13) > >>

JovankaB:
There were many complaints about traveling speed during this season. And it is true that it's a pain to travel, mostly for lone players who can't afford a car. Also I believe outdoorsman was nerfed mostly to make the cars better than pure taxi alts. Because taxi alts didn't cost anything, couldn't be stolen, could take more people and had superb outdoorsman, they were superior to cars in every aspect.

This had to change. But I think I found better solution how to solve both problems in a logical and elegant way.

Make people traveling with an "outdoorsman leader" slow him down. There is just now way that a scout traveling with 9 people who have no clue about wilderness, could be as fast as a scout traveling alone.

My proposal is:
 - bring back fast outdoorsman, maybe not as fast as before, but significantly faster than now
 - outdoorsman used to count traveling speed is average of outdoorsman of all people traveling
 - add one or two extra slots to all cars (seriously, if there is not many cars out there people won't care about comfort)

This will make lone "scout" characters traveling as they were true scouts, but won't make them better than cars to move large groups of people.

Some examples:

Scout with 300% outdoors travels as it had 300%/1 = 300% outdoors.
Scout with 300% outdoors and a friend who has 100% outdoors will travel as they had 400%/2 = 200% outdoors.
Scout with 300% outdoors and 9 PvP apes, each of them with 50% outdoors, travel as they had 750%/10 = 75% outdoors.
Two normal characters with 125% outdoors each travel together as they had 250%/2 = 125% outdoors.

Graf:
Sounds good. I vote for it.

vedaras:
i vote against, when i make taxi alt i make it not to travel alone all the time, but in groups also. And if it would travel even slower than now then my answer is fuck no, we suffer enough :D

JovankaB:
Taxi alts created solely for the purpose of moving powerbuild groups around on global map are lame, period  :-*

You didn't get it. We got cars so that people don't need to make more alts just to travel. Don't make a (free)taxi alt, get (buy)a car.
