My adventures with super speed!

[mosdef]

A couple of things:

1) If you put someone on "follow", you will go faster till you catch up with them.

2) If you double-click a mob in the distance, you will speed up till you reach it - at least when swimming.

3) *speculation* - I hear that a higher Dexterity stat means higher running speed.

none of these cases apply to me. it's either someone ninja zapping me with a speed spell (if they exist) or just a plain old bug.

> 1) If you put someone on "follow", you will go faster till you catch up with them.
wrong in this case, with 120% speed i sometimes lost people who were following me and often had to stop along the way

I know this works in general right after you put the person on follow. Never seen what happens after you have caught up.

> 3) *speculation* - I hear that a higher Dexterity stat means higher running speed.
then how do you explain that i had the bonus two days ago and yesterday was back to 100% without even spending any points on stats

I don't. That point was for others saying characters get faster as they level.

None of what I was saying was for the 120% speed you saw. I was just posting what I knew/heard in the hope that it might help find an explanation.

in general yes, but not in this case, they start lagging behind right from the start

Seems like it was a bug - i had it as well - was gone the next day. I know some ppl that had 400% speed for a bit

Ok, so I haven't had an adventure yet, but maybe sometime I'll try outrunning an entire herd of gingos! Basically, I don't know how or when it happened, but all the sudden I've noticed I have 120% speed. Not 100% like I've ALWAYS had, but 120%. Seeing as I won a race wearing full heavy armor carrying my pike by a LONG SHOT , 120% is definitely much faster. Removing all of my armor, jewelry, weapons etc etc I still have 120%. I pretty much emptied my bag which was quite full when I noticed my speed increase, and nothing changed. Does anyone else have this or is it just me? I suspect it must be a bug somewhere because I don't know what I would have done to become faster. Any ideas would be helpful.

Ha i went 200% one day

Heh, one of my mates can outrun a Puny goari (a big feat on the n00blands) and hasn't shown any signs of his speed factor dropping back down to normal for a day or two...

Not here to flame but if you ask any Tryker in NA that plays alot they know that I Fwuffy Squirrel had 120 3 days ago 140 2 days ago 160 yesterday and today, and earlier today i have 180% Speed I Swear to GOD. I WAS HAULING MAN. The whole server was trying to figure it out. it was SOOO awsome. and when i used speed i check and i was going slow motion and my speed was i thnk 24%. HAHAHA it was hilarious. But i got extrealy depressed when I found out if wasnt forever ='(

Ok, so i guess the speed thing is a bug. Or is it? Could we get a GM to comment on this? On side note, this morning i got stuck between a cart and some pots and they got to me within 2 minutes.

Great customer service Nevrax, keep up the good work.

See today's patch notes, it's a bug.

Actually i've run iton this situation myself. Was on noob island grouped with a friend for some hunting. All of a sudden she asks how i'm running so fast, I turn around and i'm so far ahead I can't even see her. Checked stats and such and I was up at 140%. No clue how this happened. We started comparing stats and she was higher in every stat cataglory. This speed stayed with me for approximately 1-2 days, then next thing you know, back to the crawling 100%. And let me tell you after 2 days of 140, 100 is really crawling.
