WISH LIST (too simple and long overdue)

Hmm. Let's just check that out. If I want to take Fly (and do not have the 60 month badge of course) I need to open the Flight Power Pool and take Hover, then later take Fly. Then, except for a few powersets, I will most likely also take Swift, Health, and Stamina from the Fitness PP. 5 powers, 2 Power Pools.

If I am building a Natural hero that doesn't use Fly, I take Swift, Hurdle, Health, and Stamina, so to get my travel powers, I open 1 power pool, with 4 powers. That looks like less than 5 and 2 to me. Although to be really accurate, you don't have to take Health to get Stamina, so you could do it with just 3 powers and 1 PP.

Admittedly, you will not be able to travel as quickly with just the Fitness powers. But "you are free to fill other slots with powers of your desire that match your theme to build your dream hero."

Of course, even if I do have the 60 month badge, I still will use up 4 powers and 2 power pools. So best case non-natural is 4 powers, 2 power pools, while the worst case for natural is 4 powers, 1 power pool. No matter what, the Natural is more flexible since they have that extra power pool they can open. And a squishy that opts out of Health, since it is less useful to their smaller HP total, also has another power slot.

And when your experience with the animation and power system programming for the game is as extensive as BAB's, I will listen to you. Until then, your "guess" is worth the paper it is written on.

I have no idea what things are like in CO, I haven't tried it. Not out of loyalty to COH, but from the fact their system requirements are far beyond my computer's capabilities. But your apparent inability to refrain from whining about the lack of a Dual Pistols powerset that we know for a fact is coming in a few months, does not really give me any reason to give much credibility to the rest of your desires.
As the others have pointed out, there is a place for these kinds of things, this isn't it, and your apparent ignorance of the Suggestions forum and inability to read the title of the forum when you "looked hard for proper placement" tells me much about your powers of observation. If you can't handle something as simple and obvious as that, how can anyone take you seriously when you say you have found a real problem with COH?

And just so you know. The Suggestion Forum has been there for a couple of years now, long before the new forum software was in use. Nothing hidden, nothing changed.

The issue was the animations for the weapon-claws wouldn't work, so in theory these could be on the way, now, as we have Power Customization which can grant alternate animations.

However, it WOULD require more code, to make sure weapon choice affect/limit the animations selectable.

Then imagine you *don't* glow with SS. Also, one thing your "travel power" will never suffer is suppression.

And not choosing a classic travel power is just that - a choice.

^THIS^ on the other hand, I wholeheartedly endorse.

Actually, you'll get pretty close. With two slots in Swift, Hurdle, and Sprint, and the occasional use of the GvE jump pack, you can easily travel as quickly as someone using Fly. One of my characters actually uses that, explained away as Parkour.

Swift, Hurdle, Mental Training and Sprint..

40 MPH run speed, plus jumping..
... I love my crab.

People have been asking for more variety in their travel powers long before CO came along and actually made it happen.

Well, considering I have never seen a post from you before... I was not inclined to just go with ya because you said so. Pardon me for wanting to fact check.

Or you could, I don't know, take SJ and just NEVER hold the [Space] key for very long.

Whatever happened to design within a given framework? Why try to bash a square peg into a round hole? Work with what you have. I find restrictions increase creativity... you have given examples of the concept yourself.
