Posted February 18, 2014 So, anyone else finding wagons rather slow? I remember there was something a little while back saying wagons would be faster than large carts, but I'm getting about 75% the speed in em. I get ~19.8km/h in my large cart, and ~15km/h in my wagon, all other factors being equal (horseshoe QL, saddle QL, no enchants, same speed traits), using 4 horses. Anyone getting really fast speeds with traited bison or bears or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2014 Seeing how they are heavier that speed sounds about right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) They mentioned that it will be slower, dont know where you read that they will be even faster o.O Edited February 18, 2014 by silakka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2014 I should have know the nerf squad would triumph here. They go upwards of 24 km/h if I had my way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) They mentioned that it will be slower, dont know where you read that they will be even faster o.ODon't know where you read that?When they were very first mentioned, under the first picture said "With 4 creatures hitched it is the fastest of all the carts currently in the game."Quoted from :http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/92108-news-update-work-and-progress-week-49/#So yes, they were suppose to be faster... Kind of wish they were, or at least the same speed. But I'm not complaining as long as it's not stupidly slow. It was a MUCH needed item.Ps: blame the people yelling nerf wagons before we even got to see them. Edited February 18, 2014 by Druidnature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2014 The top speed was lowered a bit for wagons.</3 But for real, thank you devs for this wonderful (and my fav) addition to wurm. Wish I could buy you all lunch for a week, lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2014 The top speed was lowered a bit for wagons. K. Parents learn early not to make promises they turn around and break. I'm sure there's a valid reason - but I'm also sure there's unnecessary disappointment when it should be a happy time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes sense for something with more horses to go faster, but not when it's loaded with 10x more items. Heh.Either way, it will help a lot for transporting.

Posted February 18, 2014 We can now w8 for new cart type stagecoach will be very fast but cant carry like small cart + use 4 horses . That would be good addition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2014 Seeing how they are heavier that speed sounds about right. But they also have twice the horsepower, litterally... Looking at materials they don't seem to have more than twice the weight of a large cart, so why is it slower. Makes sense its slower with 2 horses, but with 4, should be as fast or faster.

Posted February 18, 2014 Mine was going 18km/h after cretated it (before server bug fix). That was with fully geared horses (5 speed, 70ql+ / 70WoA+ shoes/saddle). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2014 save the faster speed for PVP chariots, googogo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2014 Maybe they should accelerate slower, but a stable 4-wheel base + 4 horses pulling it... yeah.... well, a Bentley is "heavier" as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes sense its slower with 2 horses, but with 4, should be as fast or faster. However, by that same token my Ford F350 has a 7.3 Diesel engine that could literally pull a house, but would be hard pressed at best to keep up speed wise with my tiny 2 wheel drive car. It's a trade-off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2014 Adding more horses does mean it will be faster, it just means each horse is pushing less of the weight. In fact, they would be limited to the top speed of the slowest horse in the team. Just sayin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2014 anything else than 90/90 rare geared hell horses would be a shame.And if you put four bison in-front it would take ages to take down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
