In the new expansion we need more Bells or something. Having to fly every place takes way too long. We need bells for every place that has a dock. -- if you fly to it once, you should be able to use a bell after that. Yes flying was fun when it first arrived - but now it is nothing but a big PITA. Flying is nowhere near as fast as ground mounts and it can take up to 10 minutes if you have to zone and run the risk of being hung up while zoning. Once when I zoned into the Phantom Sea I ended up in the Water and has to swim to the location. Please give us more bells.
I haven't had a problem getting from one island to another with the accelerator waterspouts. Also the very first Tranquil Sea quest reward is a necklace that increases your flying mount speed by 50%. This could be used situationally as you need to get around quickly.
Well, that reminds me of, traveling from queynos to lava..... with those nasty bixis and so on, on the way
No. No no no. Try timing it. You will probably be surprised by how much of an exaggeration 10 minutes is.
Bring back the NPC on Qeynos Harbour docks that sold tickets to zones (Allowing you to use the bell) for 60sp each! Although now with inflation, that's got to be at least 10p per ticket right?
Flying = 150 speed. Ground = 130 speed. Flying is actually better in that you can go over terrain, such as going up to Highpass. Also, if you wind up in the water when you zone into Phantom Sea, you should be near one of the speed boost water spouts, just hit your space bar to jump while in the spout and you will be kicked into mid-air where you can then continue flying. I had that happen several times recently and was dealt with.
And we used to take the slow boat to everywhere. And in EQ people used to pay us to port them. Just because something once was doesn't mean it should always be. Travel time is wasteful. There should be bells on the docks.
I would turn them down.. as I did flight. It only continues this cycle of making the world smaller and forcing more travel time to make up for the impact of the previous change and having people beg for more shortcuts.
Omg I remember running across Antonica to the Thunder Steppes gate just to avoid paying the ticket price. lol
I would prefer having a ship to having to fly. I do not like flight all that much. That is why I don't much care for Tears of Veeshan - too much flying. At least in Sky expansion you has bells at the sky stations you could take to the different islands. Yes I know it was before flight came in the game, but I wish they would do that in Veeshan and this new expansion. Dev - I have seen no bell in Phantom - how do you get it? Do you have to do some quest to get it?
