Neither. You only get a dance emote while Steppenwolf plays.

If we got a new travel power every year, fully functional and fun.... I'd play this game until it became incompatible with Windows 42.

Jay Doherty: Yes, there was this one night that I was ready to go home but had to drop the browns off at the super bowl before I left for home. While on the throne it hit me. I stayed for a few more hours and that why we have the pain pads in the game.

I use fly constantly in battle, especially trials and/or multiple AV encounters. I don't have hover (heyo, Vet badge). And, no... my endurance never runs out.

Travel powers that grey out other abilities are useless and a waste of time to make.

I think the idea is to make these things as stuff that can sell like hotcakes in the store. Kind of defeats that purpose if they only come out once a year. Especially seeing as prior to the recent new ones we've had how many in the last 7 years?

One person in the Suggestions section used it in a mission, got stunned, and couldn't detoggle it. It'll be hilarious if Rocket Board works the same way.

Particularly if it was available in both versions -- the one that's generally accepted as the standard now, with the rider hanging onto the shaft in front of them and the bristles behind them, and the way that's pretty much fallen out of memory, with the bristle-end forward and a lit candle stuck in the bristles (in the manner of a hobby-horse, with the bristles being the head of the horse):|

I don't particularly like all the effects on my characters when I'm try to do something like use the market (Fire/ and /Dark in particular) because they're so busy, noisy and distracting to me and other market patrons.
But if you toggle/detoggle walk they all turn off with just two clicks, instead of five to eight clicks.

That's actually a lot easier/more feasible than broomsticks, etc. If the stance animations remain the same, all we'd really have to add would be new models to go beneath the feet. Should be very doable, so please let us know what would be your top requests for alternate flying devices.

I liked Harrys (New goblin) board in Spiderman 3. The movie was mehhh, but I think a fixed footed snowboard style like his would be cool; Simple and sleek.

How about just a regular board?

Witch Hazel stood on her broom all of the time.
Rainbow.
Lightning bolt.
With some ingenuity in the graphics department, a hovercar such as one of these early Army experiments would be pretty cool and should work alright:
For that matter, something like a flying Segway would be pretty cool looking, especially if it had some kind of con trail and/or rocket/jet flare.
I'm also am fond of Magnetos fly disks as found in X2; maybe you guys could come up with your own version or look.

Different colors of the red board currently used. I have a character who'd LOVE a rocket board, but his color scheme is blue. The option to select X Flying slide power and get Y amount of color versions of it (Similar to Vets Unlocking prestige sprints) would be great
Flying Discs
Magic Carpet
Something like these

For the broomstick, whatever is easier for the animators.
If you force them to make these travel powers more complex, then we'd be seeing a new travel power once a year.
Sorry but if it's a choice between something that can't be used during combat and has an easier to create animation setup vs having he power appear in isssue 2343434, I'll say the dev team should take the easy road.
Some folks forget that unlike their Challenging Opposition THIS game's engine did not get an upgrade recently.
