The New Walk Power

OmniNogard · 11-10-2009 03:54 PM

Dear Dev or Dev's who made this power.

Thank you so much for the walk power.

I'm having fun thinking up what to do, one being i want to make a few Music Videos with CoX just for fun, I got a shadow MM(Thugs/Dark) the song i can make with him should be possible now thanks to this power.

Some People said it was a was of time but i say it was a great 'just for fun' add on.

I'm glad you like it (I'm sort of ambivalent about it myself). Just note that walking turns off all your toggles. Don't walk during a Zombi or Rikti invasion.

Wondering if the Walk Toggle automatically makes MM pets and other pets capable of walking too. If not, it's a good addition to it in the future!

We can walk but how i havent heard about this when did it happen and how can you use it?

Power is unless without the will to use it,
But will in nothing unless you believe in yourself.
And that is ture power!

Like others though, I'd like to be able to use powers while walking. It'd be even better having walk toggled gave you an endurance discount...ya know, kinda like an opposite of sprint.

AAQUI · 11-10-2009 05:47 PM

so WHY are we walking again?

I've heard a lot of people suggest this, but thinking about it, it makes no sense.

For one, Walk has no recharge so you could run it anytime you wanted, unlike Rest. I for one don't want it to gain a recharge because of a balance mechanic like that.

Two, it doesn't really make sense to gain recovery for walking. Simply because... why don't you get a recov bonus when standing still? Truth is a lot of people would turn on WALK to stand still and gain recovery. It would make even less sense to make them HAVE to walk. So if we're going for logic, it would make more sense to add a passive recovery bonus to players who aren't moving. And I really doubt the devs would do that.

You can always pretend it's a recovery bonus when it detoggles you though!

The chances of one or the other happening is pretty good...but both happening is pretty much nill.

Yay for walk (when the servers are stable again)!

Now death to the no nads weapon run please.

I'll send you a set of hubcaps

I can't make up my mind which I like better.
The worthless walk power (the devs really have that much time on their hands) or the never ending Halloween crap.
Either one the question remains, why?

GRAVITOR · 11-10-2009 06:24 PM

I heard the walk power was crashing the server, how much of that is true I dont know. What I know for sure is there is something wrong eversince the new patch was introduced cause im having too many mapserver disconnects specially in PI.

Im going nuts here.

BrandX · 11-10-2009 06:34 PM

I love it Went and did some flashback missions. Everytime I entered Oro, I hit the walk toggle and walked over to the Crystals.

And used it in a mission as much as possible, since I was on my Corrupter, who had no toggles to retoggle.

The dev team rocks!

I really wasn't expecting a Walk power. I know its been requested many times, and theres been plenty of times when I've wished I didn't have to run everywhere, hanging around in an SG base or whatever.

Seeing it actually happen (bugs or not) is a really nice surprise.

You're new to this aren't you?
There's at least half a dozen threads where the new walk power, and how BAB found time to do it has been discussed and explained.
A quick browse of the Dev digest for posts by BAB in the past week or so would answer your (probably rhetorical) question.

Or, Johnny X, you could go play with your talking dog until something else that moves you to post occurs. (Please, no using your rectal flame powers in the forums. The regular flames stink enough.)

td;wra* version: the walk power is something BAB has been working on here and there for some time, since players have been requesting the ability to walk for over five years, and walking happened to make it into the last build.

*too dull; won't read anyway

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

Why choose, you get to have both!

Oh wait, sarcasm.

Monkey_King · 11-10-2009 07:25 PM

Well, I like it. Or I will, once we get it back. I kinda wish the male walk was a little more...dramatic? I guess this is meant for heroes and villains in their civvies.

I just got my first look at the female walk. In patent leather skin-tight pants. I need to go lie down.

Walk as Rest-Lite would be kinda awesome.

Considering the options, I don't think I could use enough adjectives or exclamation points to express how much I'd rather be able to use powers while walking instead of having a recovery boost.

This is a game.

Games are about having fun.

Fun is irrational.
