I thought *I* was the only one who called a full Fury bar "a full head of steam"! Also, smash.

There are TWO development teams within Cryptic - one on City of Heroes and one on City of Villains.

Every third Saturday of the month, the two teams should duke it out over Laser Tag or paintball or some such, spouting heroic/villainous banter at each other.

This is the spirit I would like injected into a game that I play.

A teammate of mine said it all tonight:

haha that was great! Flying out of nowhere to save the day!

Flying does, in fact, rule. Boost the speed output by 20% and I'm all sorts of happy

Devs,

Take the three months to code up the ability for Superspeeders to run up walls. Boost Fly by 20%. Everyone's happy.

In comics (the basis for the game, yes?) most higher-powered speedsters can at *least* run up walls. If they stop running, they fall down, taking full damage. I'm not even asking for 'through' walls or 'defense on Superspeed because you're a blur'. I have not yet, in my travels through this game, seen a speedster who doesn't at least have Hurdle (due to the basic need for the Fitness pool), if not Superjump, because of that pesky Z axis.

As a flier, I rarely see others in the sky. Why? Superjump achieves the vertical with more speed, and Superspeed takes care of the horizontal.

Geko, people will take Superspeed due to the stealth effect, the lack of a -ACC, and even the character theme effect if you raise the speed max on Fly.

If devs took the time to code up the admittedly non-trivial "past the 2nd speed enhancement, Superspeeders can run up walls", the travel powers would finally be somewhat balanced.

Thanks for daring to make a superhero genred MMO. Prior to COH, I was spending my time on Google looking for the Hero Mud libs.

Not a bug. It's just closing time. Last call was 20 minutes ago, the girl you've been flirting with turns out to have a face like James Edward Almos, and you lost your keys in the men's room.
