Wouldn't it be lovely?

Horses are great and all, and I'd definitely want to be able to Fast Travel WITH my mount, but it can take 20 minutes or more for me to travel between areas of interest.  Those areas of interest being in accordance with how I play the game of course.  Be that as it may, I find the long travel times to typically result in my loss of interest in the game or I forget that I've minimized it and was even playing.

I just recently returned to the game after a break and I'm quickly losing patience.  I know the Complaint Box has the bottom cut out and hovers over the trash bin so, I'll leave this brief.

I've sang praises for BDO. I've given harsh critiques.  I enjoy PLAYING the game, not 20+ minute travel times in between the fun stuff.  Would a Fast Travel Network between every major town break the game?  Either disable during big PvP stuff or, include the portals or fast travel devices in the big PvP stuff on those servers. Make it a game mechanic during big PvP battles where the Guild controlling the portal can use its functions. Something like that. Or not and leave them disabled during the battles. Whatever.

Maybe this has been addressed and the Devs have given a logical, rational and reasonable explaination as to why this mechanic is not in a high fantasy world full of magic and wonder... Not to mention an iframing Sorc who can teleport short distances. And the Sage.  Do Witchards count?  Anyway, seems like with those powers combined, a stable portal or waystone could be erected in major towns, but i digress...

Trust me, I'd rather be playing the game right now instead of writing in the forums but alas, I'm traveling in game for the next 15 minutes or so.

The horses aren't fast enough? They only move like 300 mph.

You can transport your character between most cities if you are willing to change characters for an hour. Double click your character in the character select window in game. I always felt that was a nice compromise that didn't break immersion. 

You can cross all of the map on a T8 in 15 minutes.  That is going from Sulfur Mine to Odraxxia.  That is more than fast enough, maybe stop being lazy by pressing T and walking away and get a decent horse.

You can also fly from air baloon from Grana > Calpheon > Altinova > Valencia if I remember correctly, completely afk.

Just go to search icon and type "old moon sky balloon"

Ticket costs 1 black stone

Tip: If you want to land earlier, just go ESC > Escape, you'll be teleported to the nearest town/area thing or just disconnect if you want to land exactly on top of where you are however you'll get smooshed.

You can also map while on the baloon.

Also if you want to avoid getting smooshed, put on double hunter's clothes, even non costume version is enough most times to not die when you land.  You can also redisconnect when you are closer to the ground if you are really high up and not smoosh.

this is one of the laziest suggestion posts ive seen lol

Disagree with that. Just no.

That's 15 minutes of wasted time.

When I get there, usually someone is there, I change the channel and ... someone is playing on it also.

So after such a trip I don't want to kill mobs anymore and I come back to the city on afk.

"Great game".

Balloon travel already exists in-game. But unfortunately like so many mechanics it seems it's been largely forgotten, or at least not developed to its potential. I think if any swift travel was added to the game (They have mentioned it in the past), PA might as well build on what's already there; adding a balloon station in each region's capital, and making the balloon travel itself a bit quicker.

However, active dream-horse travel should be the fastest way from A to B, it is an open-world sandbox afterall. Actually, should say 'was' an open world sandbox game, PA - by their own admission just the other week - doesn't quite know what the game is, or where the future lies for it (which is hugely disturbing, but another topic entirely).
