Make turtle faster?
 

If rhino which is 10k less than turtle is faster than it, they should make turtle faster.

Real turtles are slow though 0:

> Buy Turtle
> Surprised it's Slowest Mount
> Wut?

so are snails but that mount is pretty much the speed as all others.

Well I can't say accurately, but wasn't the turtle the first 2-player mount? Having that, and the fact that it's... well a turtle, the slow speed was justified. However retro-actively adding in more mounts that can offer 2-player mounting while also being faster and apparently cheaper isn't really well thought-out. *shrug* At this rate all the mounts should be the same speed.

At least, these stats should be visible before purchase.

> Buy Turtle
> Thinks its Slowest
> Graal =/= Real life

Title made me lol

You get what you buy next time save up more and not buy cheapest mount.

If we made the turtle go any faster it'd burn out it's poor little heart, it is already carrying two fat ass graalians, do you want to kill the poor thing? I'm glad sick people like you aren't running this game...

If you realize, rhino is 40k, so your argument is invalid.

Graal uses logic? They make it so you can turn into a dragon, a swamp creature, a snail that has the same speed as all other mounts such as addy pointed. But i agree with you dusty that there should be an option to see the speed of the mount. Thanks for that suggestion.

Just because a game doesn't apply to real-world logic in every physical possible way, doesn't mean it needs to toss everything out of the window. Games can only simulate various aspects of the world to various degrees; any and every game out there will sacrifice some sort of logic because the real-world rules don't make for good gameplay. Graal does happen to be on the farther end of the spectrum, but that doesn't mean it should break all the rules because it has broken others.

The fault here isn't that the turtle is slow, it's that these aspects of the game have been very poorly balanced. If the turtle is slow, mounts like the snail should have been slow too. If the turtle is slow and a two-player mount, but a rhino is fast and also a two-player mount... yet cheaper, then there should have been better balancing there as well. The Rhino should have been more expensive, for the turtle should have an incentive for being more expensive than another mount that is cheaper AND better.

However it's probably too late to fix these issues because it'd require nerfing items players have already paid for and in my opinion that's not fair unless they are compensated.

No problem, those iEra folks do it all the time. :D

Rhinos are faster than turtles by like 10K times.

Why would you buy a turtle in hope that it could stand up to a rhino? Anyways, slow and steady wins the race!

Not a horse race! Even though neither are horses.

Exactly! Neither qualify for an actual race. Main argument is hereby invalid; transportation is transportation. Perhaps a turtle is safer for your Graalian? Better safe than sorry.

(P.S. I ride a bunny)

Yes. Yes you are. But in reality, aren't we all?

My bad I'm not on all day waiting for a news update.

Good for you.

When you go to buy the mount, it should atleast say "slower than most mounts" and not only the turtle, but i realised the Rhino is slower than other mounts. I do not understand why a rhino, can run 40mph, as fast as some horses in real life, and the panda (same speed as horses in game) is slower than both a rihno and horse in real life. If you were trying to make the mount's speed realistic (the turtle) atleast have the right facts. Speeds should go: turtle>panda>rihno-horse.

Something as simple as giving mounts a rank system(either grade or stars) would be fine.

Yeah should be faster, I bought it on impulse and didn't really pay attention to others with it until only after purchasing, I realized it was completely useless for transportation. Doesn't even say in the description that it's slower than the other mounts. I'd expect my firework mount to go extremely fast and my turtle to swim but niether do. So I don't see why turtles have to be slow like ones in real life.

LETS RIOT!111!!!

That's kind of your problem though :P Impulse buys are almost always regrettable.

Either way, I'd definitely be in favor of giving mounts speed rankings to alleviate this effect. The only problem is mounts actually don't have a speed value. They have an acceleration and friction value... friction is the closest to representing the max speed but it's only factored once in the horse script. Not to mention the difference between the Turtle and Rhino's friction is only 0.045. So ya...

That is a lot if you think in other dimensions.

As far as Graal dimensions go, a tile is 1. So 0.045 isn't even a single pixels worth... that's not saying much though since like I said, the friction isn't exactly the speed value. It's a factor that is used in determining speed; but what makes this difficult is when the difference between the slowest mount, the Turtle, and the faster mounts is only 0.045, it makes it a bit hard to easily rank their speed. It's not as clean cut as saying Horses have a max speed of 1.5 and Turtle has a max speed of .6.

Again, just like to point out, Rihno's are actually decenty fast in real life.

Also to point out, rhinos aren't usually having armor on then and let two people sit on them and eats bombs. Your point is invalid. :P

shut up its Graal logic

Zen, pandas are also fatter AND slower than rhinos in real life, as in game, pandas are normal speed. So my answer has a valid point.

a turtle is a turtle and a turtle is slow

Rhino is same speed as panda, so that argument doesn't make sense to me.

lel...what's that server

but a snail is a snail...and a snail is slow.

Black turtle mount is too slow Dx

Black turtle mount is same as regular turtle except its a recolor.

In graal, pandas are same speed as horses, rhino's are reduced, and turtles even more.

We know this already good sir.

Lel guess you were right my bad.

Lel

ye I reckon the turtle is a big rip-off...at least make it unique.. If devs were really trying to make the mounts realistic (the turtle) at least have the right facts. e.g. MAKE IT ABLE TO SWIM IN WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes.

That would just ruin the idea of making another morph or of making the turtle morph itself.

LOLWUTTT? I was talking about mounts here...and even so, how would it ruin morphs? i have 3-4 animal morphs that have their characteristics based in real life..

Turtles are supposed to be physically slow.

However, you can ride faster by eating bushes just like the horses do to run fast.

yo dawg, I said make them have the same characteristics irl... I said nothing about changing their speed

ye kinda lame...would be nice if they made a room available just for the people who have the mount ..to compensate them for their 50k...50k is big in graal you know >.>

edit:

any of these would nice..

1)a room made available just for 2p turtle owners

2)a free hat that matches the mount

3)10k refund

4)50 turtle house pets..valued at 25g each (wont be made available to public though)

5)a turtle morph or SeaWorld themed draisine

Oo the turtle pet idea sounds pretty cool, I don't think it should be exclusive though. It'd be cool to have a pet that could swim.

Also, a land where you would need to swim in, via turtle, and it would be an underground shop/hangout area/farm/bugs.

Yes. Just yes.
