Courier writs - can't carry more than one parcel.

Post by Void »

Aparently courier writs do not allow to carry more than one parcel.

Would be nice to have this limitation removed. I mean I can understand "no fast travel", not sure about "not running", but "only one parcel" is kinda strange. It would be expected for a courier to pick multiple items in one go, to optimize deliveries.

The point is for it to be arduous and a challenge. Route optimization does not make for such.

The point is, there's no real reason to be unable to carry two parcels instead of one.

As of now it is neither challenge nor really arduous.

Just very tedious.

Besides, when you carry multiple packages your risk goes up. Because by dying once you lose them all.

When the courier system was first introduced, more than one parcel was allowed. It lasted about a week, maybe two, before it was scaled back to the system we have today. Personally I'm fine with it. I use it as a relaxing way to play or as a filler when I only have 30 - 60 minutes and wiped out after a long day.

If you search the forums there may be some discussion about it.

I still find the whole 'can't teleport/run' thing pretty weird for a parcel. Must be some pretty insane stuff they're carrying around. I'm glad people enjoy the system but it's not for me at all.

"Can't teleport" makes sense, but "can't run" doesn't, especially because combat is totally okay.

Feels like the package is warded to annoy the courier and not to protect the cargo.
