Reminds me a bit of some other MMO game...


I don't disagree with this suggestion, though. I always thought that the flight powers in this game could use different animations to let you do things like ride boulders or force fields. Though doing that might take a lot of animation time to make animations for all of the different positions.

Though they could just be similar to a lot of the buyable travel powers that null all other powers while active. Kind of takes away from the "cool" factor though.

The devs explained that the amount of work the animations require is the reason the they decided the new travel powers turn off everything else. And each new power set that gets added to the game just increases the animation workload thus making it take longer and longer to release them.

So the buyable travel powers will most likely be what we get from now on.

Panther travel power is already on the beta server. You turn into a black panther the power comes with a stealth mode you can activate making it harder for you to be seen by enemies.

Wish the buyables would suppress powers (toggles) rather than turn them off.


Check out the Repeat Offenders network of SGs! You'll be glad you did.

I think we all wish that but as was explained by one of the devs in the same thread as the one about the animations each toggle has to be done separately and with each new power set (and each new travel power) that gets added they'd have to go back and add the new toggles so the work takes longer and longer which in turn causes releases to get pushed further and further back.

It's just easier and faster to have the powers turned off.
