god the OP is such a little whiner. these are the same guys who won't play a game unless they're positive they can win. if you want a constant themepark addiction MMO, go play world of fucking warcraft. this game is a SANDBOX MMORPG, you must entertain YOURSELF. yeah, too much to ask of under-educated european angry teenagers, i know, but do us all a favor and try extra hard next time before posting more mindless drivel about how you and your clan of other whiners can't play the game anymore.
because the rest of us, well we're having fun because this wipe is not designed simply for TC players to have fun. i am a solo player and doing just fine, living in boneyard as lvl 18, people just congregate around me and on my radio channel, and we make friends that way. im sorry your inter-personal skills are so lacking that you can only figure out how to play a game when the same 10 people are spoon feeding you the entire damn time.
We are entertaining from this project more than one year. We played even when lags were so bad, that you died in 9/10 encounters. We played, even when our bases were visible on world map and we were under heavy attack of raiding enemies. We dont whine, because of PK, we killed them. We dont whine, that we lost battle, because we often go to battle we can not win, only for fun. But we open our mouths, when there are some retarded changes in gameplay, that makes this game less entertaining without any real reason.
Only reason of slow moving on world map is that nobody uses cars and less people use trains. Devs had hard work with implementing trains but nobody used it. So they slow down traveling. But they did not solve the numbers of trains problem.
I played TLA.. there is traveling even slower.. but:
1) world map is smalelr
2) the whole concept is different: there you can go, loot some stuff from dead enemies, you can often run away from them, because most of them are slow.. only if you want to kill them, you enter combat mode and you cant run there, so you have to finish your fight in 3/4 cases. Loot from VS encounters is good enough to level your char, det.is not so bad. You dont need to harvest res. there, just loot stuff from NPC and sell it. So slow speed on world map is not agaisnt the game play.
Here, if you want to get better stuff, you need to harvest HQ.. so you called "satisfied players": leave your safe tents near NCR, go to HQ mine (Redd, Broken, Gecko mine). There is not any train, so you have to go slowly.. You may die in this travel, so you have to go back for sledge. When you reach the mine, there should be PK and kill you.. - i dont have anthing against PK - so you will have to repeat your travel again, but with +1 way (way back to your tent/base). If you are lucky, you are not killed, but you see enemies there, you have to go another mine, so from Redding i.e. you have to go to gecko Mine.. another long trip.
=> so you have to spend half of hour because of traveling on world map only for one enter of mine/ .......
This is retarded.
