Rawr.9467 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 So ever since we got mounts I find myself spending more time trying to jump over something than walk around it. It's like Skyrim all over again. It doesn't matter if there's clearly an easier way to do it. Not to mention the fact that I spent half an hour last night trying to scale a mountain in the Riverlands only to reach the top and find it has an invisible wall... Just wondering if I'm the only one with this illness ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It's everybody. We all have straight line syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayumi Spender.1082 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Um this is me in almost any game.I want to/like to just keep going ahead if I'm aiming for something specific. If I'm just traveling around then I won't do it.But if I'm seeing a heart/poi/vista and the guide is leading me north? I'm going to go north.Not north then I see a path then go northeast then northwest then south because it's a spiral... I'm going to go north.

Alatar.7364 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It is all the way worse if you are Thief used to Shadowstep up the ledges long before Mounts came to be. So before, it was "I am gonna go straight through here, if not I will go around, meh" now it changed to "I am gonna go straight through here, if not... THERE CAN BE NO OTHER WAY!"It's fun.

Offair.2563 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Its gamers nature to try to jump on to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T G.7496 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I often spend time fitting against a single rock that is in my way, smashing myself against it in an attempt to get on top, just so I can glide off it on the other side.I will run around it eventually, but not before I've wasted several teeth-gnashing seconds trying to scale it.The straight line mentality.Is real.~TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunarlife.5128 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I usually use whatever method is possible to traverse terrain. Mounts, gliding, running, jumping, it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashburntoo.7431 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'll toss my lot in with the "can't stop climbing" group. I can't even stand still while waiting for an event or group to all arrive. I'm hopping up hills and mountains, looking for caves, whatever. Found a chest on top of a tower recently, which just reinforces the behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiceDead.1963 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Whatever saves time. You may say 0.05 seconds don't matter, but to me it's 50 milliseconds I could've added to the pool of doing something else. The most valuable thing we spend in life, is time. Efficiency, is key.

TheQuickFox.3826 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Many years ago I played WoW with the QuestHelper and TomTom addons. This gave a directional arrow where to go for the active quest. I usually ended up following the direction in a straight line causing me to walk into world bosses, monstains and other trouble.So: no, you're not alone. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaltys.7649 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Well, yeah, climbing is fun....We need some kind of Mount Everest-type zone in the Jormag expansion. Giant mountain in the middle, riddled with a maze of tunnels and long winding paths to the top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
