Tweak the Visual Effect on Fly/Hover

Honestly, I don't really mind the "air disturbance" effect on these two powers when the character is actually in motion. I think it sells the movement and gives a sense of speed in spite of being quite slow. I can live with it and sometimes even like it.

But can the effect be made to work a little more like Sprint or the Prestige Sprints in that it suppresses when the character is otherwise motionless? Or at least make it a little more subtle when the character isn't moving? It really takes away from otherwise awesome screenies. I know that there are ways to suppress it with other graphics but losing effects you like just to eliminate something that is overdone is never a great trade off.

As always, full customization is the premium choice. I'd love to be able to turn off the visual effects on a number of pool powers (Hasten) besides these two.

Yes, please. I've never been overly fond of the huge 'air gust' effect thing that occurs with Fly and more-so hover.

I'd say what we should be arguing for is pool power customization. Trying to redefine single effects on single powers based on a few opinions is an unproductive process when we really should be looking at letting people pick the variant they like.

I believe that pool power customization is still on the table it's just taken a back seat to other things that the developers want to deliver on.

Oh the hellish Limbo that is Soon™!

Count me on board with comprehensive power pool customization. However, if that is deemed impractical for whatever reason then at least get rid of (or give us choices about) the visual effects that people have complained about for years upon years. They did it for the buffs gained from temp powers awarded in the bank and mayhem missions. This doesn't quite suck as much...but it still sucks.

Again, choices are always preferred but if they don't want to take the time to give us a selection, at least give us an on and off option. We deserve it! Some people have been playing this game a fair fraction of their life.
