Hi all,

We encourage and appreciate constructive discussion about City of Heroes' power mechanics, and we understand the temptation to discuss City of Heroes in relation to other games. However, please keep in mind that the comparing and contrasting, as well as the discussion, of other games is not allowed on the City of Heroes Forums. Please keep this in mind when posting.

Thank you,

Here's the thing - I'm not opposed to having both our ascend and descend speed being faster. Hell, it would make a lot more sense. However, consider that doing this means either Super Jump becomes a MUCH faster travel power, or else we start making a LOT shorter jumps with relatively the same height, which is one of the things I hated about the original suggestion.

Here's an anecdote that keeps repeating for me. A friend of mine is over so we can play together, I stand at the edge of a tall roof, looking at a building FAAAR in the distance, I elbow him in the ribs and ask: "Think I can make this jump?" He usually goes "No way! That's too far." Then I jump and make the distance with momentum to spare. THAT is why our Super Jump is cool. I don't want my jump DISTANCE to drop any, and increasing the speed of jump ascent and/or descent would mandate reducing jump distance. Simple as that.

I'm positive that was next week, I have it marked on my calendar and everything.
