Prestige Sprint visuals

I don't know, but I know you've seen them before.

Remember the rainbow that trails people? That's like two of them. One's an aura and the other's a trail.

And the "glow spikes"...uh...yeah, you'd need to see some video to know what I'm talking about. It's cool unless it's on my toon, then it's doofy.

The last is white rings radiating from your legs. Not as dumb as it sounds, like, less dumb than the rainbow of fruit flavors.

I can't search Youtube at work.

No source that I can find, but I can go make one!

You can click on the image below for a full-sized version.

Note: The Power Slide isn't actually a vet sprint. It was only unlockable with the CoH Collector's Edition DVD/Hero Kit.

That's a shame since it's probably the coolest one, yet it's understandable since it's from a Collector's Edition. Thanks for the pics.

Power slide is the result of a bug, IIRC

Thank you. I wonder if the pic and a link to the video should be in the listing for the Prestige Sprints on ParagonWiki.

It should. In the meantime, the official site is actually helpful in this regard! It actually has screenshots of the sprints: www.cityofheroes.com/community/veteran_rewards/12_month_milestone_loyal.html#thumbs

Excellent video!

Though, it should be mentioned that the craftable winged boots is another way to have a movement aura. And it stacks with the other prestige auras. http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Costume_Piece:_Winged_Boots

What's really cool is that Power Slide's animation actually trumps the Ninja Run animation. So you activate them both and you get a really nice, speedy slide animation. It rocks.

It works with Super Speed, too.
You slide along the ground, at blinding speed, leaving the spark trails.

I would use the prestige sprints more (at all) if it suppressed Sprint's dust trail.

Power Slide + Super Speed = Awesome

The prestige sprints are mutually exclusive with Sprint itself, and the devs supposedly removed the dust trail from the prestige sprints (since they each have their own special aura, you don't need the dust trail to tell you sprint's on) a while back. I haven't claimed that veteran reward in years since it gives you all four instead of a choice of which one to take, which clutters up my enhancement/respec screen, so I can't verify that. It may have gotten broken if it WAS fixed.

Well, if it was fixed, it isn't any more. just tested.

I haven't tried them in a long time either but I do still have an active character with them (I just don't use them). That would be nice if the dust trail was gone. Judging from the video (above) it is still present but I'll check for myself tomorrow.

I think the dust trail itself might be somewhat broken. Sometimes the dust trail remains even while in Fly mode and not even touching the ground! Toggling Fly off and then on again while in the air usually fixes it though.. even if you still have Sprint toggled on.

Edit:
Nevermind, the dust trail while flying seems to have been fixed... but I do find it funny that you also get the dust trail in the water. lol

On a side note, the Prestige Power Slide and Ninja Run do NOT have the dust trail, but the Veteran-claimed ones all do.

I remember when fly was fixed and I was very happy. Confirmed that vet sprints still have the dust trail and so I will continue ignoring them.

Man, I wish there was some way I could get Power Slide...

That would be the 'Pig-Pen Effect'. You can raise a dust cloud under any conditions.

Power slide never had the dust trail.

Neither did Ninja Run - what kind of ninja leaves dust trails?
