A rework on some powers

hello

ok I was wanting to mess with some concepts but the pwers don't allow it

I was thinking Teleport can be reworked the last power option?, "Map Port", make it so when you get this rank of power, you can port directlly to misson doors, contacts base port locations or stores ... anyting that shows on the map you can click on to just be there, one port, that makes somuch more sence than being slower than the speedsters or super jumpers, could even make it so you see your team member on the map?, you can port directlly to them, useing the map port power.

Another power is Flight the last power of "group flight". put all your team that is inrange on auto follow automaticlly, becuse otherwise they ger outta range and fall to their deaths heh.

heres one, in concealment the last power "Phase shift", make it more like a toggle use the same prinsible of "Personal Forcefield" you can' effect others while phased, but you don't have to fear it dropping on you , maye even to put some resistance on it, make the end bar your power meater for it, that drops to zero you drop phaseshift, but make the power useible and allow moveing thru things you an see thru, cell doors, fences, windows.. anythgn you can see thru, you should beable to phase thru.

Anpther thing, Speed " super speed", I say the speed feet glow thinggy?, yeah make that only show when you move, so thoses lazy freeking people that can't seem to remember to turn off toggles arn't blinding everyone around them with their silly non moveing feet glow

While we're on speed i say make the "hasten" glow fade out liek it apperes from the chest flows to the hands, but then make it fade out.

that's about it for the power changes I can think of

a) Teleport is *already* the fastest travel power.
b) Map porting presents one major problem. The Z-axis.

Bad idea. Imagine if you're caught in someone on your team's Group Flight, but you need to go somewhere else, like on a Hami Raid, if you're a Yellow-soloer, and the spike team starts dragging you along before you get to your Yellow.

The engine has *no* way to support this, and the devs have already said an engine overhaul would basically create a new game.

I believe BABs and the crew are already working on Power Pool customization. In the mean time, there are people that like the glow as it reminds them they have it on, and reminds them to turn it off when entering battle, so whether he changes it or not, there will be people who don't like it, so he'll leave it be for the time being (which is quite sound reasoning).

I wouldn't be opposed to this, but again, some people like the current animation, so until customization spreads to pool powers, it'll likely stay that way.

I love all of these suggestions. And unlike the other responder I don't care that it is hard to make them work. I want them.

The "other poster" only said that one of them was hard to do, that being Phase Shift allowing you to go through objects. And that really will probably never happen due to how the maps work now. The building isn't a solid object. It's just a place where the map juts into the air. It's empty on the inside, and if you can run through it, you'd tend to fall through the floor of the map.

Everything else he said was this:

Hasten and Super Speed: Probably already being worked on.

Teleport: No need for this change.

Flight: Could be really, really annoying. More so than it is already.
