    There's been sooo much discussion on walking speed on the Overworld map, that I wanted to see where everyone is via a simple poll...

    If you want to discuss or debate the issue, I'd refer you to one of the current threads on the subject.
    Like the one here.

    Take your pick, redfish.... But please, let's not do the "faster speed or bigger map" debate here. You already have a thread on that one.

    If I have to take my pick, how is the poll useful? My only point.

    I'll make a third poll that includes all possible options if you think that makes sense.

    I like it, it feels right for the size of the world. When there are more things to do on the overland map like roving encounters or discovering secrets I don't want to speed by like the Flash.

    Also I don't quite understand that people here are calling for realism (pitch black nights) but then want to be the Flash on the overland map...

    @redfish
    I thought you already did that...
    Anyway, I'm fairly confident that the choices given will be fine with most... Have a great day!

    If you stay along the roads, it's not so bad... But, cross country is another story... Everyone needs to learn how to use a compass and learn the lay of the land, a map would be nice to get a key press view of where you are, but I seem to know my way around now...

    I wouldn't mind traveling speed being increased slightly. It is supposed to reprsent traveling over long distances, however.. so too much of an increase would be a bit of an immersion killer for me.

    It is too fast. Travelling from Soltown to Ardoris should be faster via underground travel, which does not happen currently.

    What I mind about the map that there is not enough scenes. I need to travel far. If every hex was a scene and the map was not so empty, I would not mind much slower speeds at all. However to spend 5 minutes to travel over 3 scenes is too slow.

    Well, it would seem the speed issue has been remediated in the last patch....
    The speed seems much better now.

    I have no problem with the speed via roads but off road travel seems to be too fast. I thought it was too slow before but now it seems to be the same as being on the road.

    Yes, it was changed in one of the recent patches (intentionally or not). There does not appear to be any difference in travel speeds at the moment. :)
