I can certainly tell that the cities were not designed for vehicles. Tyrena (that city causes me so many problems) is terrible for navigating in a vehicle. There are archways on all the main paths, and they are skinny. On top of that, they are at wierd angles, and sometimes have two offset by 30 degrees that you HAVE to travel through. Anyone who has been to Tyrena can back me up .

I remember it well (not acually how to get around, but the city) as that was my starting city as well. Felt like a change and moved to Moenia, Naboo. Now THERE is an easy city to get around anyway you want! Just slighly bigger than an outpost, lmao

something I noticed last night.

I needed to get to a cloning center in coronet. I pulled up the over head map and I couldnt find it... so I typed /find

then selected cloning center. all of a sudden, not only did a waypoint appear, but a virtual ribbon pathway leading to the cloning center. I just followed the ribbon and made it to clone.

I have been using /find since launch! It is awesome for findind the nearest player city when you are out in the wild(/find shut of /find clon...I love abbreviations) and even better for getting the WP back to outpost or starports in general (/find star). You don't get the ribbon, however; the way I hear it is someone had to code that actual paths...OY!

Find is extremely useful. You don't get paths out in the wilderness because you don't need them. Anyone in the wilds who can't figure out how to get closer to their waypoint must be looking at the wrong waypoint. With the paths, it's not as hard as you make it sound. They just make a connected grid telling the system where you can go and then connect the dots along a short path. You'll notice that the large open areas with nothing to get stuck on often have the path going a bit out of the way. That's because they didn't bother to fully cover that area in nodes. Oh, and if you still have trouble with the paths, they combine with the overhead map as well. You see a nice yellow line showing you where to go that doesn't require you to look up (it is much easier to move around in a city when staring at the ground).

KEREN on Naboo. I cannot get through that town without ctrl-m on and on a vehicle, just give up. You wont get through it. Your turning radius is like an 18 wheeler and the turns you need to make around the small creeks and rivers through that town are crazy. I cant even burst run through the town without getting cuaght in a corner and turning around 15 times trying to get out.

I got lost in a guild hall elevator.

I swear, I kept hitting that up button, and I STILL ended up on the same floor.

Also used to run round a guld hall in Rori trying to find the way out. I had an office in the basement, could find my way IN there, but coming out I'd end up on a balcony.

OTOH, I know where on Tat I am these days, ooooh about 50% of the time.

lol I was THE uber n00b when I was newb..Never read the holocron...Learned it all the hard way,including walking from Kaadara to Deja Peak. Then I got a NPC mission in Deja Peak,walked to Theed,got a group,which told me about shuttleports...I never use shuttleports now btw,always uses my swoop. Hmmm then I crossed Lok once on my Kaadu. "Oh cool a kimogila!Oh crap its attacking me!"

I have basicly crossed every planet for POIs etc..Pretty fun,and I know where all the pets live on Naboo,Talus,Tat and Rori,good when u are a CH..

My screen would sometimes scroll so I was looking down on my character and spin around really fast. It usually ended with me clutching my eyeballs and screaming AGGGGHHHH!

I replaced my mouse and now my character will randomly freeze and then /kneel /stand /kneel /stand 20 times in a row. I'm afraid to replace my keyboard in case my monitor decides to go. And take me with it.
