Let the players decide what the next travel power will be

Take a poll and let players suggest what the next travel power should be. Show the results. Then in 30 to 40 days pump it out on the market to be purchased.

Actually its more of a test to see if you guys could do it. But I'm making pretend its a suggestion.

P.S. I just didn't pull this out of a hat as it is being done someplace else.

Honestly I don't think you guys could do this in 5 months, let alone 30 days.

Been done already. Right after Rocket Board was released the devs started a thread and asked us what we wanted to see next, and gave us the freedom to suggest anything.

The only problem with a poll is that it doesn't what the players want next but what the players want out of the options they give them.

Such as, I want a grapple hook travel power. I won't get it, and won't see it in a poll. So I won't vote, as in indication that I'm not happy with the choices given.

/Unless there's one labled "Thermonuclear Powered Space Warp". Instantaneous travel from point a to point b. Only fries a few electronics and/or nearby people, but totally worth it. Yeah, I'd vote for that.

August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

I know where you're thinking of, and I doubt they're doing it from scratch in 30 days, either. They didn't let players write in the travel power they wanted, it was just a multiple-choice poll - they gave options they already knew how to do, they don't need to jump huge unexpected technical hurdles in the next month.

Your whole "suggestion" is done in pretty bad faith, anyway.

So, since even the actual suggester apparently doesn't want the feature except to show the devs up, /unsigned I guess.

whatever is done has to use the current wire frames...

What I'd like to see is travel power costume pack where instead of coming up with all new travel power that need to be slightly balanced against this or that they'd be changeable visually

I'd like to see a big cat travel power as well as a house cat travel power
I'd like to see different kinds of rocket boards, replacing the board with swords, dif color boards, broom sticks, or things like that...
I'd like to see vehicles... like since there is a sci-fi pack that rocket pack needs to be functional ^.^
I'd love to see a hang glider type power

yup plenty of stuff i'd like to see ^.^

If it were possible I'd like to use Free or Premium players for piggyback rides to and from missions.

Here's how it would work. You get a new power that summons a random Free or Premium player who is online and not inside a mission/trial and teleports them to your location.

You then climb up onto their backs and take control of their ability to move and from there you ride them to wherever you want to go. Once you get to your destination the Free/Premium player is teleported to Atlas Park near Miss Liberty.

I'd like an "all doors are one" travel power. That way, no matter where my next mission is, I could just use the door nearest to me to get there. Why, with this, I wouldn't need any form of mobility other than the basic jog.

This would fit with my character concept for The Lazy Avenger.

Defender of the weak, Champion of the Downtrodden, Enforcer of Justice....


just as soon as he feels up to getting off the sofa...

I would love to see existing travel powers expanded with a "Map Travel" L5 and a "Zone Travel" L6
