This is a huge issue currently in game and I feel it needs it post on the forums.
The travel times I'm talking about here is the time to move from ring to ring, or zone to zone(s), or town to town.
I've talked a lot of people about this, and I've seen people quit over it and simply just stop playing forever. I do not feel like they are respecting peoples time when you are much higher level traveling around to areas that you've already unlocked and been to many times or much lower level than you.
When it takes 30+ mins to goto another zone to farm materials or find a group that is doing something, this can be a major issue. I've seen parties often break up because someone is in a zone far away and there is no way for them to join the party and play with you, even though they are the same level range as you, within a reasonable time. Simply having 30 or even 20 or 10mins of just wasted time. Doing nothing but holding W while following a road is not fun, and massive waste of time.
I've talked about fixing this issue and Undone and some Loremaster Drindin has told me it's going to be looked at, Undone told us he has plans to add a ember essence travel system that will cost some of this stuff AND be on a long cooldown.
Now I think this is a major issue and the fix for it is still not going to fix it whatsoever, its a punishment system. The cost of this rare essence in combo with a long cooldown is just going to make it feel really bad. I've not seen the system however, just now it's explained to me that Undone doesn't want fast travel because it makes the world feel too small is a major issue.
I've already explored these areas, I've farmed them, hunted them, unlocked all the unlocks etc so I've been to the areas. Why do I need to spend hours and hours running and running from town/zone/ring to town/zone/ring. To be able to play? This is not respecting my time, its not respecting party members times.
Also couple this with the fix I had was log out a toon in different areas to play with different groups, well issue with this is now the fatigue system. I then have to run back and forth to town. Causing more of my friends and party members time (and myself) wasted on doing nothing but running in areas that are not exploring or threats etc.
This wasted time is a major issue for I would think all players. So far I feel like Undone has told us that they have not put in the system but I wanted to post here to discuss the issues I've seen so far on how much this has effected greatly the players.
This is likely a major issue that in my opinion needs to be addressed sooner than later, else you will have bad thoughts on the game, and low people able to give feedback and testing because they simply can't put in the time because so much of it is wasted on this system of running around wasting it.
