Speed of the Hunt (portable, inventory based, hastener)

Hi,

for those of you who are not familiar, Speed of the Hunt is an item on the live servers that you can purchase for bps and place in your inventory. /use of this item gives your character hastener speed; it literally acts as a portable hastener.

Anyway, I was wondering how realistic it would be to implement this item on Phoenix. Have the devs already considered this?

I think this would greatly help folks soloing on non-speed classes. How would the community feel about this kind of addition?

Best,

You would have solo visibles (possibly) escaping 8mans. Cant have that.

I hope that’s sarcasm...

It’s a great idea, that or implement mounts. You’ll never escape someone with proper speed, but it makes getting around a little less tedious.

More competition of solo/small man outside PK's sounds bad (joke)

I play a speed class and you will see that many without dont take the long run to the home PK.

Though I would love to see it, I think they already said this will never happen. Speed classes like bard/skald/sorc/mini will always easily catch hastener so I don't get the hard NO from devs on this.
As bad as OF is, they are finally bending to the NF idea, though we will see how long even that takes.

When/where did they say they would never implement it? I’d also really like to know why they wouldn’t.

honestly it was really funny solo on live with horse and speed. There was much more competiton with all different solo classes around. Also groups were still able to catch you, less but they still did (bard amnesia)

In live this was with an added 56% speed to horse from armor.

And sometimes you could get away, but typically they would either run you to a tower or catch you due to terrain etc. The devs saying they will not implement speed is in the forums somewhere, another speed of the hunt type post. Pretty lame and hopefully they reconsider.
