Minimum TW is a pain in the ass

Post by DatOneGuy »

10% minimum is balls man, absolute balls.

It wasn't so bad when you could just keep a CR with your popular spots right next to your HF for all those little moves around your SG or whathaveyou that are 10%, but having to wine up for every little 10% jump is a major pain in the ass, the fact that the minimum is 10% is a pain in the ass, carrying wine is inconvenient and a waste of space, opening cupboards of chests near your warps to then drink and then go where you want to go is also a pain in the arse.

It's not bad for long warps, it's seriously problematic for when you do a lot of small jumping, I find that more than 80% of the warping I do is within my region, and while winemaking is a huge pain in the ass so I buy it from others either way, having to use it is a pain as well, cupboards, barrels, needing to refill from the barrel to the glass constantly... it's all just a huge pain. :x

How about just replacing the need to move about and run the whole game from a menu?

in fact lets work towards streamlining out all of those annoyances and be more like this game http://www.progressquest.com/

I thought tobacco was made for dealing with small jump travel weariness?

But yeah I'd like wine to be a little more convenient to use. Like being able to take swigs from the bottle!

What can I say, I don't like fast travel.
I like it even less when it's the default mode of getting around for short distances as well as long distances.

I agree, especially when you have a little less than 10% TW left. It gets annoying. At the same time, minimum TW is a necessity anyway, although I think 5% as the minimum would be pretty nice while at the same time not causing any problems.

He lives!!

But yes, it sucks to have to drink so much wine for small distances.
I drink more wine when warping around my village doing work than I do going to Nople. And, I go everyday to check stalls :P

Depending on the Dev's reasoning behind that 10% minimum. You could and up with no short fast traveling at all. ;)

Lowering it will make village travel a lot less painful. And I would make gratefully and good use of it.
But It also will make the transition to the advertised "no fast travel" future bigger.
