Well another thing, not that this is really considered in the rating, but you do need to buy this pack in order to use it. So if you don't like that you can skip the "cross dressing" and "trans-gender" by just not buying the pack.

But one thing I don't get.. Why do you want to make it so flying or leaping there isn't even an option, and so that you'd be stupid for taking flying or leaping

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not suggesting that. You'd still need travel powers once you get to the side of the zone you want to be in. Plus, travel powers are used for more than just getting to contacts & missions.

They're used in combat, pvp, hazard zones, street sweeps, badging, exploring, powerset pre-reqs, etc. Even with this suggestion, people would still be taking travel powers and not be considered stupid for doing so. Are villains stupid now for taking a travel power when they can just buy a jetpack? No.

I'm not suggesting perma mission teleporter (which is already in game as AE, mind you), simply an in-zone transport to get you to a diff section of a zone quicker. With possible built-in timer and/or in-game costs.

You say the tram is different because it tp's you between zones. It's not. In case you didn't know, you can also use the tunnels in the War Walls to travel between zones. If you were playing before they added a tram to Founder's (and ran thru Indigo's painfully long arc) you'd know this. The trams just make it so you don't have to use your travel powers to hop from tunnel to tunnel. The bus idea would be the same, only within a zone. Not eliminating travel, just making it a bit more convenient.

This is a simple quality of life suggestion on par with existing systems already in-game. Nothing game-breaking here.

Not sure about you but as for me and plenty of other people I have teamed with, we don't leave travel powers on during combat because they are an end drain.

Yes, in PvP, Travel powers are wise, but PvP and PvE are 2 different thing. Like Red and Blue.

Hazard Zones, well right now I barely see more than 1 person (if that) in a hazard zone at a time, yes Hollows, Sewers and Perez might see the most action but that's lowbies, that don't have on of the t3 travel powers

Street Sweeps? I never use travel powers here, wise to conserve endurance, just run to the next mob without travels, shouldn't be far away.

Badging? Yeah I do use travels but only for the exploration and history badges, though it would be incredibly easy to get them without a travel compared to 5 issues ago.

Exploring? Who does that any more? Thanks to AE only exploring anyone has done was to head to Wentworths to sell the drops from the rolls. Which makes me think, this buses thing would get those AE noobs skipping travels so that can take more attacks.

Powerset? What do you mean?

Pre-reqs? Yeah, I take Boxing and Kick for Tough and Weave, but 99% of the time they get neglected.

Just FYI, they could always get a jet pack fairly easy, just takes 3 missions (2 if you auto complete) and a Mayhem, oh and level 5.

How do you get to Crotoa via tunnels?

Listen, right now as it is, travel is easier than it ever has been. If you're having problems getting around, even without a travel power, you are just too lazy to hold a key down for a matter of seconds.

[u]List of Travel Methods:[u]
Travel Powers (Super Speed, Sprint, Hover, Teleport, Fly, Combat Jumping, Super Jump, (Recall friend))
Ferries
Black Hawks (For got the actual names of them)
Temp Travel Powers (Zero-G Pack, Raptor Pack, Teleportation)
Green Line
Yellow Line
Pocket D (Used as a hub)
Midnighter's Club (Used as hub)
Ouroboros (Used as hub)
Ouroboros Crystal used as a contact or zone transporter.
Rikti War Zone (Used as hub)
Bases
Black Market/Wentworth's teleporter (Day Job and purchasable)
Mission Transporter
Base Transporter (Vet and Day Job)
Self Destruction (Used as base transporter, can't rule this one out, not its intended use but same for all the hubs up there^)

Tell me if I missed anything.

[ QUOTE ]
I regularly use the Ouro or Base portal to pop from one end of a zone to another because I can do it quicker than flying or leaping there. (I also take advantage of Hosp TP, esp at debt-free low levels!)

And, of course mission teleport, too if it's a particularly long travel.

I'd use the WW teleporter if I ever remembered I had it and the pocket D teleporter can easily be used for it too (ie. to get from High Park in Kings Row to the Blue Steel: TP to the D and exit back into KR...it puts you just down the ramp from old Blue, no travel power needed)

Just because they weren't intended to be used as in-zone transport doesn't mean they aren't being utilized for it.

As for it being sad to take the bus, when did taking a train ever become more dignified?!? Seriously.

[/ QUOTE ]

Great support for why not to add it!

Sounds like you have it great.

But one thing I don't get.. Why do you want to make it so flying or leaping there isn't even an option, and so that you'd be stupid for taking flying or leaping?

Don't tell me you're one of the people that wants to experience the game without even moving... God forbid you have to put a little effort into anything...

Also the train doesn't really make sense from a hero aspect but it is way more sad for you to be riding the bus within a zone than it is to ride the train/tram to a complete different zone. There is a difference, traveling within a zone requires effort of pressing down your finger and steering with either of your other finders or the mouse, Zoning requires the effort of staring at a wall for 3seconds to 4 minutes depending on how your connection is, hell you don't even have to be there, take a quick bio break.

The idea isn't to eliminate travel powers, but more of a QOL issue.

We already have a mission transporter, base transporter, WW transporter, Pocket D transporter, and Ouro Portal...all of which make life easier but still don't eliminate the need for travel powers.

This would work just the same as the above. It would simply get you to a closer area to where you want to go.

And like I said, there can be costs associated with it's use or time limits to keep it from trumping existing travel powers.

[/ QUOTE ]
The mission transporter, base transporter, WW transporter, Pocket D transporter, and Ouro Portal are used to travel across different zones. You can't use travel powers to cross the zones. So of coz, all these convenience won't eliminate the need for travel powers, which are for traveling within a zone.

I think if there are enough bus stops within a zone, the transport system can potentially eliminate the need to use travel powers. It is a bit sad that heroes have to take a bus to rescue a citizen because heroes with super powers are supposed to be faster than the bus.

[/ QUOTE ]

I hadn't thought of that reason not to do it, good job.

And yeah riding the public bus at like 10-30 mph is pretty sad... why not let the police just take care of it, at least they have the ability to run spot lights.

Bahaha, *highfive*

Oh I forgot to add the average City buss only travels at about 10-30 miles per hour, and then there are the stops, and the rush hour traffic.

Superspeed can get up to 92.5 miles per hour, so... lets see here, you want to take the bus and go only 1/3 of the speed you could have had with superspeed?

Or do you want the bus because you could then go afk turning the 4-5 minutes it would take riding the bus vs. the 45 seconds it takes with superspeed (I know seems a lot longer but it only takes 45 seconds to go 1 mile at 92 miles per hour, and I'm being generous), because you know there is auto run.

Well Ouro portal isn't intended to be used as a travel device. The rest need to be paid for. But sure I could see it happening just as long as the bus isn't going 90 mph like super speed, 4 minutes per mile, aka 15 mph, or 3 minutes per mile aka 20 mph I think would be fair for a city bus.

So wait, tell me, why do we even have travel powers? I barely see people in hazard zones, so that one is out.

I get it, some people want a "natural" hero but doesn't mean it should make it so people can skip travels altogether and save the power selection for something else.

The reason of rigged costume contest is it makes the supergroup/player holding the CC look generous without them actually being generous. It makes them look good saying they are holding a 100 mill contest when really the winners are just friends or supergroup members in disguise. At least it makes them look good until people start to find out it is rigged.

I hate rigged CCs and there are too many of them now-a-days, so I don't participate in CCs any more, I like my costumes I don't need another person telling me they look good.

that in order to get a new toon to the point where it's as fun to play as my high level toons I have to invest 2-20 hours of gameplay. It really sucks.

This more than anything still amazes me (not that I'm saying it's untrue - post i14, it's very true...). I'm not trying to make yet another anti-farm post - I simply find it fascinating that the game has got to a point where the amount of hours it takes from 1 to 50 is 1 to 20 hours instead of the MUCH greater number it (still) is outside of a farm...

[/ QUOTE ]

1 Hour? I'd like to see that, fastest I've heard was 4 hours and those people got their PL'd toons taken away.

Who wants an Owl? I'd rather have one of them "stupid blind good for nothing" Eagles, when does it get so dark you need an Owl for pin point accuracy (which I doubt they have), Dark Astoria is only place I can think of..

This whole thread is pointless, I don't like the Dominator changes but I would be way more disappointed if they came after my Fire/Kin. My Fire/Kin is only powerful because, 1, Fire Control has lots of damage and Kinetics boosts the damage even further while increasing my recharge, and keeping my endurance and health up. And, 2, because I purpled him out.

Borking either Kinetics or Fire Control would not only piss me off and nerf the Fire/kin but it would nerf all combinations of Fire/* or */Kin depending on which they decided to change.

I'm not pointing fingers but there are a lot more power single sets than Fire Control and Kinetics put together. Such as Willpower, Stone, Rad, or Psy as it is now on live.

Farming is not the only thing I do with my fire/kin in fact I barely do that much at all any more. I love to run tfs, badge hunt, gm hunt, and go AE dumpster diving.

But I also have my main, a level 50 Fire/Emp, level 50 Energy/kin and level 50 Stone/Kin, so all that wasn't just defending the Fire/Kin but all of those toons. I would hate for my Fire/Emp to seem any more gimp than he already feels (Pretty much relies on the Imps). And would hate for kin to get nerfed making my Stone/Kin feels even more borked (I hate Location AoEs).

Hmm, just the bottom part of this has me sold. Definitely worth the money to me...

But I'm sure that I'm not the only one thinking this...

And that's all I have to say.

No we do not have confirmation on that. We don't even have confirmation on 5 coming out, just that there was something said that the devs would like to do one for each origin. Don't know what the one after Super Science is going to be Mutant based or Natural based.

Yeah I get it, but it isn't even funny...

Was this really needed? I'm not speaking for everyone but the SGs I've been in and the bases I design don't stick with either of these overrated themes.

Need more threads for:

Sewers
Ancient
Dingy
Factory
Hi Tech
Hirano
Industrial
Miyuki

And finally, for bases that use a mix of those, like mine do.

(Don't forget to make them get stickied or else they will be forgotten)

This would be way overpowered even if it only lasted 15 seconds... And I would only expect being able to use it once a day.

I use something like this in the hollows for lowbie farming, get about 100k and go to hollows, get flux as a contact, do his first mission, then just go crazy on the inspirs popping them as you buy them and take it out on the hazard spawns.

Being able to do that anywhere anytime? You'll catch me in Cim once I hit 35 farming the wall with inspirs to 50.

Edit: Wait I have an idea, make it so this mobile pez dispenser can load up to 50, maybe 100 inspirations like the base ones. You have to load it yourself and you can give and take enhancements as you like, has a 15 minute recharge. - Now that, I can deal with, just make sure you keep your Pez dispenser full and you'll have inspirations if needed. Also it can carry any sized inspir.

One thing though, if shouldn't be able to be used if you die, seems kind of cheap loading it with wakies and just taking one out if you die.

I loved this one in the Hollows.

Everything there is fine by me except SS for Scrappers. Bashing someones head in with your fists isn't exactly scrapping, just doesn't fit the style that Scrappers hold.

City of Villains wasn't an issue, but how it was tied into the game was an issue, i6. Going Rogue would be tied into the game through an issue, though all it is itself is an expansion.

I saw a bat fly into a tree once, he musta been pretty dumb.

Anyways weapons mastery is tactical human made weapons. I don't see why it would involve animals unless it was an Owl with an explosive tied to it, if so you can count me in.

I agree with the idea that Going Rogue will be released sometime around Issue 16 but will not be Issue 16.

Doesn't make much since in the roleplay aspect, City of Villains came in with issue i6 Along Came A Spider, which roleplayed in the reason why all of a sudden arachnos are there. Going Rogue would do the same, come in with an issue, since it is definitely not i16, my bet is i17.
