Thread: IGN Vehicle Video Nov 25th
Finally got the video.. SWEET! They look fun as heck! 
I like the speeder bikes.. flyin over terrain, you can tell the devs are having a blast testing them internally hehe.
Downloading the File now, but I have one issue already. Speeder bikes shouldn't be faster than the Swoop bikes. It should be the other way around. Make the Swoops the fastest/weakest. Put the Speeder bikes as the middle ground. Swoops are suppose the be Ion Engines with a saddle on them. They should be the fastest, more out ofcontrol vehicle.

Ok I found what the problem was with my server. Apache was not set up to handle that type of load, my friend and I are trying to fix it now.
No server is designed to handle the kind of load which results from posting a link on a site with thousands of viewers. Good luck.

Trust me, they're not. It's an optical illusion. They have their field of view pushed out real far so everything appears to be moving faster than it actually is. They did the same thing when they did the video on mounts. And you can do the same thing right now with your client. You can make just running around on foot 'look' fast.
And need i remind you the devs said that mounts run faster than normal foot running too.. and we know how fast that is....

Well Apache was only letting 100 people on. Which we have alot more bandwith then that.
Ok, now I know you have no idea what you're talking about.
Good luck with your hosting.

Hm.. nevermind.. I just saw how slow the vehicles are in the video.. can you say foot burst run speed?
Thats still pathetic tho..but now its just laughable too.
Wow. Better get those eyes checked.
Look, both types oftransport will have their place. If you read the article, you would see that vehicles take damage and need to be repaired...also, the speeder bikes are rather delicate. Perdue, my carrion spat, is a tough guy! I also don't see using a "motor vehicle" for combat...the accuracy is probably horrible, whereas mounted combat is doable.
Plus, I'll wager that vehicles need some sort of fuel...much like droids require batteries. Or at least they should.
Before mocking them out, give them a chance to demo in Test. If they "suck", oh well.
But I know I'm very pleased with my creature mount and if the vehicle video is accurate, will be happy with the vehicles as well.

Lol. Thanks.
