Increase flight path speed

For transportation between flight masters, there should be three options of travel given by the NPC:

  1. The standard flight with the usual detours - the cheapest option.
  2. The express flight with higher speed - a minor 1,5x-2x premium.
  3. Teleportation - a significant premium, 3x-10x times more expensive than the cheapest option?

At least this kinda has an RPG element with a higher cost and only be able to teleport between masters not wherever you want. For me you would need a mage NPC sat next to them.

If I got to be Ion Ha$$icosta$ with the decision making, I would indeed go for Mage NPCs by the Flight Masters. However, I am not, so I don’t really bother with the fine details as they will promptly be ignored by Blizzard anyway.

Do you people not know Mages exist in the game since literally day 1? Just find any nearby Mage and nicely ask for a portal. I am quite positive they will be happy to provide their services for a standard regional fee.

People don’t want a mage just to the capitals and some important cities. They want portals between the current flight masters. And I totally support that motion.

However, having the option to either fly or teleport is a good middle ground. One could even mark in the Options menu if they want always teleport, choice or always flight (standard option).

With dragonriding being a thing soon, it should at least be THAT speed honestly.

make ur own thread and ask for that :wink: thx.

How many friendly mages have you run in to lately ? Most just ignore your request or respond rudely. A rare few will want 1k gold for the effort. I like the idea of the teleportation system over the snail slow taxi system.

I believe that a copy of FF14s Aetheryte Crystal network would be the easy fix.
We already have the concept of teleport pads made by gnomes or titans as well as translocation orbs.
Make one would just need to make a network of the innkeepers in the game.

Of course, if that is too much of a hard work, making the flight paths 2 to 3 times faster would also work though it will look silly to see a gryphon flap its wings like a colibri

The routes taken should tell you that efficiency isn’t what they had in mind, therefore if you want to get from point A to B, you should mount up and fly there yourself.

leave it as is
 gives chance to go to the loo or make a coffee if you want insta travel use portals

That never made sense to me. Is the gryphon filling the tank with gas along the way?

What’s the point of playing this game without the immersion? This is a virtual world you go in an adventure. I don’t care about convenience. I’m not here to finish quests in record time or whatever.

adding some teleport options like BASTION TP network would be nice! to supplement flight paths
