Speed nerf and Farming Mats

jrmn78ii7883
Is anyone else upset they are nerfing yet another thing that affects non-pvp players because of pvp crap. I enjoy farming on a fast toon. My farmer is an orc with fiords and jailbreaker. Now he's gonna be slow AF after morrowind.

    you mean "slow af" as in relative terms...cuz, that sounds like a pretty quick character as is...

    what's your speed boost at currently - like 40 to 50%?

    as much as you have a distaste for it - it may be worth gearing up your farmer john and throwing yourself into the unsightly human degradation activity of battlegrounds...

    cowards gear (sweet sweet major expedition) is gonna be awesome for all the speed freaks out there...

    As long as my 5/5 Night's Silence guy continues to move at "normal" running speed, no. But I never built a speed-stacked guy who stealths faster than normal speed. (vampires, ick!)

    My NB get around pretty quickly with out wearing any sets that boost his speed. Just with concealed weapon, rapids and the ability to cloak past mobs gets me around just fine. Unfortunately farming and writs is about all he's used for currently.

    I have no problem getting around. Pick up Shadow Rider from Brotherhood skill tree and when mounted, you damn near have to step on mobs for them to aggro.

    How do you add up these speed buff percentages? Is it simply by adding them all up? If that's the case then my speed boost would be 96%

    But it also says that you won't be able to run faster than a mount. I'm assuming they're talking about a mounted person that is not wearing cyrodills ward. If that's the case then I will be slowed significantly. Those mounts are a lot slower than me.

    hmmm, so, I guess the term "base" excludes the 10% passive bonus for being an orc...

    Make a sorc and use Prisoner Rags+Jail Breaker (maybe Cowards after Morrowind?). Streak around when harvesting and when out of magicka sprint and when out of stamina you can streak again and when out of magicka you can sprint again :smile:

    don't be like that - pony up a hard earned sweaty fistful of cash for the morrowind dlc/extension/chapter/money grab, then go throw yourself into BGs...

    heck, most of us won't have any clue what we're doing for the first few weeks/month that it begins...

    think about how sweet it'll feel when you first put on that nice new track suit...

    I have no qualms about buying MORROWIND as Davis Zeb Cook worked on it... QUALITY. :)

    What I won't bother with is BG :(

    Neither will anyone else. And as long as you are as quick as a mount, then you are still faster than anyone on a horse when farming. Why, they have to mount and dismount which takes time.



    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Yeah, this bugged me too. Partly for farming but also for silly/fun builds aspect. I think it's kinda neat to outrun a mount.

    I don't know if this will effect stealth builds yet, but, it does open the door to nerfing those next. No more stealth sets stacking may be next?

    They're going to kill the fun in these types of specialized builds. :'(

    holy cow - how in the heck do some of you folks even know this stuff...just checked out Zeb's wiki page :p looks like a good dude...

    at this point of the conversation - i reserve the right to remain silent for fear of looking totally and completely ignorant :)

    okay, that didn't last long - i'll just guess to myself that it's those nasty cooties us player versus player enthusiasts carry that makes BGs so unappealing...

    When they say, 'not running faster than a mount' I'm sure they mean a fully speed upgraded mount, not the non-upgraded version.
