This is a really great post. The continual nerfs on new players always feels like a way of taxing them more to increase their possible DP spend, and it looks doubly bad when the community manager is like "well now you get to spend even more time grinding and doing busywork, so it's good, actually." Let them eat suitcase.

can we use drugs that we bought abroad while still abroad or do we have to be in the air to take them?

This is totally absurd, people just make few flights daily and spend rest of the time in torn. If you decrease travel time by whooping 5.26% it doesn't mean people are going to do more flights each day. It just means they will be in torn for longer period of time. Just say that you mad the changes keeping in mind future aspects that are yet to be released to public. Spinning it with travel time reduction is not right. This was not right in my opinion but your game, you can do whatever you want.

No bogie, a few minutes reduction will not let me magically go on a fourth flight during my waking hours. Blink twice if Ched has you hostage.

Peope who fly to China 3 times a day will save 54 minutes of flying time, which is slightly more than 25e, which is generally valued at 1 million by the Torn community.

 

Loosing 3 flushies < 1 million.

 

We can debate, whether Airstrip people who value natural regen should be flying to China, I think that it is not worth it. But the logic is sound.

 

Most of the older players I know just fly to Swiss to rehab and they sort of hate it. They are all happy to save that 5 % of necessary evil flying time.

 

Just trying to show different perspectives....

Won't we have to use slots for carrying things like Weapons, Armors, and Ammo, or is that not so? If thats the case... Isn't this a massive debuff unless you fly naked everywhere?

That's like commercial retailer would say 

 

"Dear costumers hence forth you will be able to purchase less (minus 1) of the product you are used to buy. But don't pout since everyone is buying less. Your queuing time is also reduced (max 5%). Why you might ask. No reason."

 

If we don't get to understand why. We only see the minus 1. Which is a detraction on top of all time and effort.. Where it only feels like something being taken away=punishment

 

And no I don't think I am entitled to the +1. But sadly do feel the need to understand why.

Considering it will take a total of 9 slots to be able to have the same capacity of taking your loadout travelling.

This is actually a massive nerf for anyone who isn't repeatedly travelling.

Perhaps the bonuses for the Airstrip and more luxurious travel options need to be tuned. Maybe not a full restoration but tuned to allow players to carry more now that each of their pieces of equipment also take up a slot of the travel inventory.

Zoot [1759387]

Is this confirmed by the way? Our own weps/armors will take up a slot? An they have the audacity to call this a buff lmfao?

blockhead77 [2539580]

But China doesn't really have sought after items? Most people fly to places which have Xanax, or to rehab. UK is the best destination as it has Xanax and two plushies. And either way, the change has shown that Ched has disregarded how he knew players would react.
