The cost of travel

[Tyrknight]

I understand the shops being so expensive to motivate you to crafting the items but fast travel should never cost so much hopefully the devs will consider fixing this moving forward it needs to go down from 300-400 to about 20-40 coin per trip

It is meant to motivate you to explore the world, collect or hunt, level on the way, and to maybe find treasures too. Later you won't worry about the price anymore.

I asume they did that to motivate you to buy a horse and travel your self and explore the world. With fast travel that cheap it will make horses and donkeys a bit useless.

Fast travel is kind of a cheat (I mean, hardly medieval is it?) so yeah, it's going to cost you.

Unless you bump into Merlin and he create portals for free.

Hmm, I would ride my donkey or horse, but I use an Xbox 🎮 for PC instead of a ⌨️ and 🐁. Either way controlling the ride is too clumsy and sloppy. Anyway, it's somewhat rewarding traveling on foot between villages. You never know what you will get in the midst of, along the way. The Waggoner is still a good choice for me to get home at the end of a long and profitable day of trading with my pouch full of coins. :D

Nothing is ever truly free with sorcerers, there is ALWAYS a price somewhere!!

”Nothing is ever truly free...” applies to just about every human situation. :D

I'll step out on a limb and say I look forward to purchasing Medieval Dynasty II when that day is on the horizon.

There's no bug so there's no need to fix anything... :P

They never claimed it was a bug. And I totally agree, the cost of fast travel is absurd. Some farmer is going to charge you more for a ride than the cost of a new iron weapon? Yeah that's dumb.

OP literally said devs should fix it.

But since you bring "logic" into the debate yourself:
Granted, it may be "dumb" to charge 300 coins for a simple carriage ride compared to what you pay for iron tools.
But it is even more stupid to demand some kind of teleport function in a medieval setting. The fast-travel option offered to players by carts outside villages is sort of some magic which enables the player to completely skip time and effort for a journey and be ported to another place on the map in the blink of an eye. Such luxury is, of course, expensive. If you don't like it, travel on horseback or on foot.

Furthermore, to bring another aspect into the debate, this constant whining about everything being far too expensive is frankly getting on my nerves.
It is not difficult to make money in this game - quite the opposite. If you are clever, it is easily possible to make a surplus of money of about 50000 coins after taxes (or more) within 2-3 years in the game. This is easily possible and you don't even have to put much effort into it.
If one can acquire so much profit in such a short time - what do I care about paying 300 coins for a taxi occasionally?

Players asked for fast travel option - they got a fast travel option. But of course they want it AT ONCE and of cours (as always) they don't like to spend even the slightest little effort on it.

Honestly, this whole debate is pointless and completely ridiculous from any aspect.

Because someone ask to fix something that makes it a bug? No that just means they don't like that function.
The whole point by the time you can make all that money you don't really need the fast travel option anymore.

And what makes people think they urgently NEED to fast travel all around the map within the first seasons? I mean ALL around the map? There's no need for the player to e. g. visit hornica as long as they have no business there.
So the urge to fast travel early in the game is pointless as the whole debate is.
If you want to travel to another place - grab something to eat and start walking.
Too far you say? Wait until you can afford a donkey or have enough money for fast travel. Whatever it is you want to do at another place - it won't run away.

And don't tell me you don't need to go anywhere after the 3rd year, that's even more ridiculous.

It has exactly the opposite effect on me. I would love to explore all the distant corners of the map, but having to take the long boring walk to get somewhere and and back to my own village only discourages me.

I get it that you don't want to permit fast travel to still unvisited towns, but at least let us "unlock" those fast travel waypoints once we made our first trip there by foot.
