Yeah, leaping across rooftops takes a LOT of practice, nooblet, you'll get the hang of it. Around level 14.

El Zorro, speaking to his broken ankle:
"I coul' hav tol' you, you're not gonna make that jump. But no, you gotta be the hero..."
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
I know the feeling...that bloody moat in the middle of Nova Praetoria gets me every time. While I could easily clear it with my Primal Earth version character, my praetorian always hits the wall on the other side, and the wall is just high enough that I can't jump over it out of the water with ninja run and so thus must usually revert to using the jet pack, or swim to the side and go around.
*sigh*
I swear Emperor Cole put it there to laugh every time someone splashes down in it....and come to think of it, it is pretty funny.

I do this... EVERY TIME (it seems like). I don't know what my problem is, I am running up to the moat, I know it is there... I suddenly become a moron and jump... and mere moments after tapping the spacebar I think "oh crap, I am going to land in theĀ" SPLISH! "not again. |

Thanks, I'll try that next time...still...the fact that it's *just* higher then the Ninja jump power can reach when your in the water makes me think that the Dev's planned that one rather carefully...

You have no idea. Initially there were no ramps out of the moat. If you fell in you couldn't get out short of the Jet Pack or Hover.

Actually there is just enough friction on that wall that Ninja Run and Sprint can get you up it. Just be face first in the wall and jump, just as you are about to fall back in at the top, your toes dig in and pop you over the wall. Give it a try.

The other day I was in Imperial City looking for staircases to get to the tops of tall buildings by using the jump pack to get to the top of said buildings, and looking for doors, and the pack ran out just as I was in the middle of two very tall buildings. I landed in a pack of Syndicate. heh.
...I hate that moat so much. I think my characters spend almost as much time in the moat as they do fighting crime.
Okay, it's not quite that bad, but only because fighting crime tends to involve multiple hospital trips after the ghoul ambushes eat their soul. So.
....I smell a new aquatic signature villain...
Any takers? It could be the Nova Praetoria Moat Monster...think the Praetorian version of Lusca!

Well I don't know about anyone else, but GR to me was a great opportunity to find out what my main hero would be like if he wasn't so....heroic. My Praetorian, Dark'Falcon, is a Responsible Loyalist. He protects the innocent against the Resistance and other criminals; however as opposed to his Blueside counterpart, he kills his enemies.
I can imagine the scene right now if we did:
I apparently did too good a job making him into the mirror of my main hero.
I was playing him earlier and decided to ninja run/jump from one building to the next. While Knight'Hawk is level 38, has hurdle and jump height enhancements, Dark'Falcon is level 8 and doesn't. So I make the jump, 100% sure I'd land on the next building annnnnd....*miss*. I fell allllllll the way to the ground. Fortunately, we can't die from falling.
Hero 1: "So I shot him with an energy blast..."
*SPLAT*
Hero 2:
Anyway, I thought that was funny, but being 5 AM where I'm at, I'm not thinking straight. I thought I'd share this experience anyway, and as a word of warning: make sure you know what toon you're playing before leaping off tall buildings in a single bound.
