The City of Heroes Super Booster IV: Martial Arts is out!
Honestly I think the Devs know exactly what they're doing. I've wondered for a long time when Robotics was going to get nerfed, but it's still as sick a set as ever. I really think it's working as intended.

What it is right now is an SS/SJ substitute that, because it's free, isn't as good as those things. It costs high end and isn't stackable because it's not a replacement for Sprint, but rather for SS/SJ. As it is, the power isn't as good as taking a real travel power, but it's better than not having one at all.
Considering anybody in the game can get a jetpack for free at level 5 and use that, having a free run/jump travel power seems perfectly fair and balanced.
Dispari has more than enough credability, and certainly doesn't need to borrow any from you.

Can you put the costumes in the pictures as sets in costume edditior?
Knowledge is power.
Power corrupts.
Study Hard. Be evil.
I think the power is just fine. It does what it appears to be made for. It's a free travel power. I've seen people complain about the end cost, or that it suppresses, or that it doesn't stack with SJ or SS. But if any of those were changed, it WOULD be too good.

Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
Well, I'm a sucker and will surely end up buying this. I was hoping the Ninja Run would include some small stealth component since Ninjas are sneaky.
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!
One problem.
Champions Online beat you to the idea by 5-6 months |
Given that JDub touted some of the "virtues" of CO during the beta phase (IIRC, if not I'm wrong) he had to know about CO's acrobatics at a bare minimum.
That's why his statement struck me as a "I'm JDUB and I invented Windows 7" scenario.
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

WOW, what a great job you guys did on this booster pack. I had to make a new toon and I have to share -- N'ZAN, (I couldn't think of another name at the time) :P
Will people ever get it? |

Idiocracy wasn't a comedy, it was prophecy.
Be well, people of CoH.

Thank You Devs for Merits!!!!
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
I luv NINJA RUN....
I have two toons now that use it as a travel power. Getting to 50mph run speed is easy and more than adequate for a travel power. It also frees up an entire power-set choice by doing so. With Ninja Run and a back up flight pack we're no longer forced into choosing a travel power if we don't want to.
Also, the Ninja Leap with claws is very cool. The jump animation is both arms crossed in front with a fancy "arms out" landing. This is going to work very well for anyone wanting to roll an "acrobatic" concept toon (a'la Beast, Nightcrawler, etc...). Great JOB...Ninja's are indeed cool!

... *suddenly realizes she can do a pretty good Swashbuckler costume with the ninja robe*
SQUEEEEE! Imma design the costume today. I'm still not going to roll the toon until GR.. but YAAY! Now I'll have someone who can take over the Buccaneers! (I hope I don't burn myself out on Dual Blades..) |
I've been trying but failing to add this to my Mids' so I can play with it a little in some future builds.
But I am not having any luck.
What's the trick?
Is female fancy braid for this pack suppose to be clipped and have a bald spot?
My Magical Girl has the hair piece and I have a huge bald spot.

Neither one looks... pleasant :P
