walking, and a cross-circuited mind

Ok. My mind is clearly cross circuited. Case in point -- a fantasy I had about how Walking could have been activated.

= = = = = = = = = =
Excited young hero Tyred runs up to BackAlleyBrawler in Galaxy. He says, "If thou art willing, sir, I should like to walk."

BAB looks him up and down and shakes his head approvingly. "I am willing." With a sudden swing, he strikes Tyred in the forehead, open-palmed. Tyred falls back on his a**. Says the signature hero, "Now, get up and walk."

= = = = = = = = = =
Anyone know where I can find a good mind-mechanic?

It does? Sweet! The studio is probably the one place where everyone SHOULD walk.

Is it me or is this the only game where people have asked for the ability to move slower, gotten it, and then celebrated the fact?


I love this game....

Well, it's more about choice, and filling the missing speed level - we had jogging, sprinting and super speeding - so walking adds more choice

Expect costume contests in Atlas to require a turn on the catwalk now.

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!

After a minute or so of Walk being activated it should spawn a level 1 Hellion to try to mug you.

Walk should auto-activate if there's an explosion behind you.


It should also lock your camera into a reverse-view angle.

'Sfunny, Walk was working but now its not. The Walk icon is grayed out on the characters that already had used Walk, and doesn't exist for characters that had not used it before.

Didn't take 'em long to screw THAT one up....


WM/EA Brute: Because you can't have too much Strong and Pretty!
Fire Blaster: Because you shouldn't have to walk over there to set someone on fire.
Tanker: SOMEBODY has to soak up all this aggro I'm generating

In fairness, they didn't actually screw up walking. An unrelated bug managed to make it's way to the live servers, and they can't undo only half a patch (trust me).

Also, "didn't take long"? As I said in another thread, I could count on one hand the number of times patches have been pulled from the live servers. For a 5 year old game, that's pretty impressive.

Why yes, I am a fanboy. Thank you for noticing.

Now its not really jogging is it To be classed as jogging we need more "jogging outfits" and puffs of breath coming out of our mouths [customisable of course!].

We need a Bipedal Perambulation Power Pool.

Walk
Hop
Skip
*-Legged Race (where * is the number on the team), this would be the equivalent of Group Fly or Group TP, where all team members walk in a line next to each other with their ankles tied together and their arms over each others shoulders.

That was my attempt at a conga line in atlas > union a few months ago. It didnt go too well as you could tell Our plan was to have everyone have the person in front on follow, we'll try and get a better one this weekend

BTW skip to 2minutes and 20 seconds, for some reason when i recorded that one it froze my computer for quite a while.

You only get out of breath if you jog too much
