movement

[a ponderer]

i just started a new gnome druid, and i was in a group with a gnome warrior and an elven invoker, it was taking 4 movement every move, and then it took me FOR EVER to regenerate my movement, about twice as long as the gnome i was grouped with. my stats were: 18, 23, 25, 18, 18 why was i regenerating movemen so slowly? i did not have any unusual equipment at the time (or now, as it is still a problem, though i am now learned at pathfinding, which helps).

C'mon man! Gnomes got stubby legs! Everyone knows that.

It'll get better once pathfinding kicks in.

but it was regenerating at half the speed as the other gnome of the same rank

Were you hungry? Thirsty?

[a ponderer]

dying of thirst
starving to death
but i was lvl 7, at the time, does that still affect it? i didn't think of that.

[GodOfWar]

Ontop of hunger and thirst....He's a warrior...he's SUPPOSED to be a little bit sturdier and better at regeneration at those lower ranks.
Might have a higher constitution as well.

[divsky]

At lower levels hunger/thirst doesn't harm you, but it still affects regeneration rates.

Might of the oaks?

[GodOfWar]

Doesnt get might of the oaks till 15.

It was the starving/dying thing that got him. Mess u up every time.

Could flight or similar skills be more accessable now that its no longer such a big deal anymore (mainly trip sucking now, the way charge works now to a much lesser extent as well)?

I'm both lazy and hate paying (if it costs enough, which at 2000 or more I think it does) for consumables. There are a few classes (shaman, dark-knight, maybe monk, no avians for any obviously) that I'm looking at but I cringe at the thought of having to buy scrolls of flight over the lifetime of the char.
