train system

[dusty pike]

if you're a slayer and you've been a demon you're probably well aware that demons can just teleport anywhere while slayers are stuck to wonder around! so my suggestion for this is to add a train system. there will be 2 trains, a normal train and a mugen train. to board a normal train you'll have to buy a ticket which will cost 500 yen, the train goes in a constant circle from akiyama to butterfly estate to rice field to minobu to final selection and finally back to akiyama while at any of these places you can board the train. the train goes about 10 times as fast as your run speed though it has to go around mountains and hills (however the idea is to make a superior option to running so devs might need to make the train even faster than that) anyway, going on the mugen train is different from the normal train system. to board the mugen train you will only need 100 yen which is five times less than boarding a normal train in case you forgot, the mugen train moves 2 thirds the speed of normal train not only that but theres a 10% chance that a mini boss will board the train and you have to fight the mini boss, in doing so you'll get a refund but everyone will be evacuated and you'll have to find your way from there.

notes i forgot to add:

if you attempt to board the train while its in-between stations you can get on but it costs you twice as much

if demons attempt to board the train they will be kicked off and ragdolled

devs would make train stations to fit the towns theme, for example a mountain themed snow covered station by akiyama, a traditional Japanese's station my minobu or maybe even a corps themed station by final selection, not only that but if you ever got lost you could have train tracks to follow and lead you to a town.

what if to learn flame breathing you would have to talk to rengoku who would always spawn at mugen train and you have to talk to him every time you wanna learn a new flame move (this one seems tedious so kind of a joke)

anyway, that concludes my little.. actually humongous rant about fast travel would be appreciated if devs added as an update or at least in rpg3.

The concept of fast travel (in my opinion) is that travel should be very convenient, and VERY fast, without interruptions. What you suggested does not meet any of that criteria.

Firstly, the fact that you have to either find a train station or somehow board a train moving at 10x running speed makes accessing and using the train somewhat tedious. You’d also need to wait for the train to reach you, rather than being constantly readily available, because that’s how trains work. All these make your suggested fast travel an inconvenient way of fast travel.

Secondly, you stated that you think the train should move at 10x running speed, if not more. However, i think fast travel should basically be instant. No matter how much you tweak the speed of the train to increase its speed WHILE not making it look ridiculous, it’s almost impossible to achieve that same “instant” travel, and you’d still have to wait a bit while using the train.

Lastly, you suggested a 10% chance for a mini boss to spawn. I personally think this is the worst part of the suggestion, as not only is your fast travel interrupted by the miniboss, you’ll also get kicked off the train, leaving you in the middle of nowhere if you’re unlucky.

Best way to explain what i just said is by providing an example. Imagine you’re grinding quests for exp; you want it to be fast and efficient. To minimise travel time, you choose to take the train, but as you travel in between destinations, you need to wait for the train to arrive, board the train, wait for the train to reach your destination. Imagine if, while travelling to grind quests, a miniboss appears and kicks you off the fucking train, and now you gotta run to your destination.

Pretty cool idea, but not practical for fast travel

yes, i basically went from fast travel to a hangout game with a bit of pve. i do think the whole not being instant is a good point of yours but i might as well change the title from fast travel to hangout in a fun vibey train and possibly have some pve so yeah i do agree it was a dumb idea to name fast travel but i do still think it would be a fun detail if it was added into the game.

i fucking hate your pfp

wym bro its sexy

1. No fast travel wouldn't work with a train the point of fast travel is instant and if you need a train you're basically waiting for the train to arrive and get to the destination plus The process of gathering 500 yen tedious man

2. A mini boss is stupid my man I mean honestly who wants to be traveling to their location then suddenly have to fight a boss? Definitely not me Plus getting 100 yen back from defeating it isn't worth it...

3. Yes this is tedious I don't want to always travel 1,000 meters just to learn another move at that point what's the point of learning flame breathing

[dusty pike]

as for your first 2 points jus read the dm's earlier in the chat and as for the getting flame breathing thing, you get it because its good.

500 yen is easy to get

[small ridge]

I meant gathering it every time you want to travel

[slow schooner]

ah yeah great idea plus it's so tiring to go all the way like from ubuyashiki to akiyama or from akiyama to minobu. Just it's not good for the mini boss in mugen train, just 2 normal trains will be good

[dusty pike]

might lower the price cause 500 yen is kinda crazy foe most players while i have (not to brag) 3.2 million

W server suggestion
