Laden or unladen?
i wish we had a "newbies" forum >.>
Monty Python is awesome!!!
*tosses Holy Hand grenade*
58.63 MPH is the speed cap of the unladen swallow. Any further enhancement is wasted.
There's also this.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

True, but the speed cap is applied AFTER the speed penalty for carrying a coconut so there is some advantage in over-slotting.

Regrettably, the swallow's speed greatly decreases whenever it attacks.

The Swallow has been borked since it was first introduced. It has been proven many times that, by the numbers, the Sparrow is superior to the Swallow in every way. I ran builds through mids last night and would you believe that the Sparrow gets a +5% flight speed as an inherent.|

It is obvious that the Devs hate Swallows. Just look at the lack of attention to player suggestions. I have, several times and in several threads, suggested the following tweaks.
Four Legs
Four Wings
Double carrying capacity
Three eyes
Any one of these would balance the set and make keep this game from it's approaching doom.
I don't expect the forum posters to listed. You are all Sparrow loving FOTM builds. Half of you are playing Cats to begin with and just want to trick people into a PVP build that is nothing more than epic fail.
In short....Fix the Swallow or I will quit and your precious game will soon tank without me!!!!!11!!1!!11!!11
Edit: !!1!!1!!1!!1

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

What if the swallow picked up Super Speed instead...?
