I like it, not gonna buy it just yet. i mean I have a blast on the rocket board, and I think if I had some more appropriate toons I'd grab it too. Just... not quite yet, sort of like beam rifle for me, I like the idea, it's just not time for me to grab it yet.
on another note, I wish they kept the "standing straight with arms crossed" stance for the carpet. I mean I understand why some people wanted it changed and such, but personally it gave me the impression of my character riding around on this awesome, magical rug saying: "LIKE A BOSS!"

Oddly enough I bought the power specifically for my Titan Weapons Brute, Talismancy goes for the slight-build-woman-with-huge-sword look and flying under her own steam just doesn't look right, wish I could change the carpet's colour though.

I will pick it up eventually.
I love the rocket board. Many of my characters are science or tech, so it makes total sense with their concept.
Currently I only have one magic character for which this works, but it totally works. So yeah, after I accumulate some more points...

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Top 10 reasons I won't buy a flying, magic, carpet with my points...
1. I have a total of one character that is sort of a middle eastern Genie and would look in character flying around on the thing. I'm sorry my Titan Weapon Brute would look totally silly on it.
2. Like the rocket board before it this "power" nullifies all my other powers when used and when done riding it I have to reclick all my toggles to activate. My Tanks and Brutes would waste all the time I MIGHT have saved flying standing around outside a mission reactivating their defenses.. and obviously it's useless for attacking anything the is airborne.. all your attacks are greyed out!
3. Alladin called and is threatening to sue if we don't stop selling the carpet immediately... suprisingly he has no problem with the proposed new non-combat pet... Yago the talking monkey.
4. Okay I lied I really only had those 2 reasons. lol
I'm sure it looks great and on test I did try out the rocket board and enjoyed it but with staff weapons on the horizon I am not going to spend points on something that just "looks" cool which is why i also have no non combat pet/dog! If you have the points and are into that sort of thing.. fine. I will wait and use mine on other things
