the reason you can walk in other MMO's is so that you spend more money trying to level up to rediculous levels just so you can ride a horse, because the walk is just too darn slow. |

It's not a WoW vs CoH thing or whatever your creating with your vivid imagination. |
Now don't get me wrong i understand that the walk in COX is just for asthetics but i find it nice to just roam about and take in the sites we run, fly, sprint, super jump, and teleport past every day, and the video use that someone else mentioned is rated very high on the awsome scale. Besides the point of the power is so that people that want to use it can have fun, if it took the dev's this long to implement it then so be it, they are busy people.
And before anyone goes off on how it is a waste of developer time, try to keep in mind not EVERY developer is needed for EVERY stage of making the Going Rogue expansion, so in the downtime they did something fun.
Not to mention, if this one issue is a gamebreaking outrage for someone then they must not have been a very big fan of the game to begin with, there are loads of other Super Hero MMO's to play so go to them and play but before you do (<---Sarcasim)... Can i have your stuff.
P.S. please note that NOT EVERYTHING i said in this reply is aimed at the person i quoted

Slow walk into warehouse....walk down hall...smart talkin thugs come after me...slug...buckshot....keep walkin.... with this song lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IJw9jid5Yk it wouldnt work for powers like full auto or snipes mind you, but for basic attacks to have rooting removed would make for epic demo records and badass-ery. of course, i expect this would be extremely time consuming and wouldnt work on a lot of powers, but still, I can imagine  |
I prefer this song for what you just described

If it's so "simple" I invite you to go ahead and code up something similar to prove it.
Until then, your voice comes from a nether orifice.

You guys are apparently farther along on the tech than [Walk] had me believe. I see your [Ninja Run] with all powers in tact! You sly devil!
Does this hopefully mean we'll get some cool new run animations in the near future?

Of course, it's well known that I'm a D.O.M. and proud of it.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
For adding utility to the Walk Power, I think adding a simple camera detatch mode for theatics is all that is needed and maybe being able to select riffs from the game as theme music. (Although unlockable Parkour cling to walls/street gymnastics would be awsome - too much coding involved, though)
On a completely separate and totally unrelated topic: when the natural perks come out can we have a "pimp set" with a big furry hat with a feather, bell-bottems, and platform shoes with gold-fish swimming in them? (Oh, and let us color the feather and fish)

Correction: it only took BaB three years to make Walk. He hasn't been here for five, and the two years his predecessor spent on it didn't have enough butt-wiggle on the female emote so he had to start from scratch.|

Personally, I think the three years BaB spent animating female hips (he only spent six minutes on the male and huge animations) was better spent than the four years Castle spent setting the Walk speed cap. I mean come on: if it takes more than eight months, you're doing it wrong.

Go play Champions Online. They've got plenty of movement animations that CoH doesn't, including your demanded beastial running.

There's a large audience for a "beast" walk. Rather, a beast RUN to replace sprint/super speed. Now that we know you can replace the basic movement animation. WE DEMAND MORE MOVEMENT ANIMATIONS. Get on that.(I command you) |

The idea of having my human only warshade literally walk through a mission, two fluffies at his side, blasting away and recording the whole thing in fraps sounds freaking wicked to me.
Be well, people of CoH.

Seconded. I'd love to just walk up to something without worrying about it destroying me and proceed to faceplant the bugger before making a casual exit. Alas, I'll make due. |
