If we could get a new travel power on the live severs what would u suggest???

Hmmm...there are already a few travel powers but making one even more fun than SJ would be great. Haven't got any ideas though...

Rocket Skates, Jet Propelled Skateboards and Surfboards :)

YEAH THATS COOL

Astral Projection - Makes hero intangible.  Move at about the same speed as fly, but able to pass through solid objects like buildings, walls, trees, etc.  Also, allow vertical movement at about the same speed as hover.

BIggest problem we run into is with our 'normal' batman-type heroes. None of the existing powers really make sense. You can sort of get away with using temp powers as 'gadget' movement... but it be helpful to have some other variations like:

Swinging. I know, I know....

Personal vehicle like motorcycle or jetbike or something ...seems just a variation on superspeed or flight. Would have to do a lot of animation work for powers though unless you jsut pulled a WoW and had it vanish during combat.  

 After getting Assassin's Creed and playing that a bit, the way the main char moves through the world is normal but amazing. Sort of using free running really. Combination of climbing, moderate leaping and the like.  

I agree that a new travel power would be really cool. The problem is that we won't see anything cool like motorcycles or cars and etc....I think the best bet is to add to what we have. Give Super Speed the ability to run up the sides of buildings. Make teleport easier to use.

I love the idea of gadget type travel powers. If they already have cars in game why can't they make them controllable by the average user. It would be simple. Give us the ability to create and design what our car looks like. Add an animation that shows us getting into our car then force it to move to first person mode and move with the speed of fly without the vertical ability. Or allow us the ability to control the camera but force the car to stay within the street limits. That way you don't have cars glogging up the trainer areas.

Those would be cool along with ice sliding or line swinging. A motorcycle will be great also

A Travel Power that would fit Tech origins perfect, tranform into some kind of air-plane or car. ^^ Transformers! =P

My vote would go to Line swinging, although some sort of play on free running could be interesting if done right. Another possible idea would be to add more travel power related costume pieces.

I'd love to see a set of powers or maybe a fifth teer to the existing travel powers that augments their performance.  For example-

Flight - Phased flight through solid objects (might be tricky to code.  Or perhaps an Afterburner mode- very fast but no steering

Superspeed- super traction, lets you run up verticle surfaces

Teleport - instant recall - set a "homebase" location that you can TP back to, even across zones.

Superjump- Super slam- what better way to make an entrance than to SLAM into the ground, stunning nearby opponents momentarily?

One of the problems with something like Astral Projection or Phased Flight and flying through buildings is bulding interiors - what do you expect to see when you're flying through the skyscrapers of Kings Row or all those support columns in Skyway City. I admit, it would be convenient to just get up to a cruising altitude and fly straight to your destination, but as you point out, there would be coding issues.

I like your other suggestions, MHB. I actually came up with my own version of the superslam--I position myself over a mob (easier with Hover than Combat Jump), drop, and activate a melee AoE immediately after landing. It's fun!

Coding issues? Anyone else here a Computer Science major other than me? Or who has experience? Either way, I do not believe coding would be an issue here.

Are you replying to a specific post in this thread? I might have missed it, but I don't see anyone mentioning coding issues prior to your post. On other threads, it's all over the place--but not here.

I don't think coding was quite the problem so much (really, you're just suspending the clipping) as WHAT DO YOU SEE when you fly through a building, a hill, the ground, etc.  Would they have to render enviroments for you to see, like Buckaroo Banzai plowing through solid rock, or would you just see the same glitchly looking crap you see when you toggle clipping in any other game?

Some long range teleporter with huge random variations, adds mobs in another dimensions which attack only these teleporters in the 15 seconds after a teleportation or some other weird perks.  I am talking about a teleportation which could make you cross the whole zone...maybe have some basic gameplay that remain uncontrollable linked with the distance and a direction shift.  Possibly make a "drawn to location" feature if you want teleporter to arrive close to a particuliar area.  If, on if, on if, on possibly...streams of ideas about 1 idea...must stop.

Bouncing ball of speed.  A mix of super jump + super speed which saddly, bounce.

I think this game is past its prime

Or how about taking a cue from comic books (*gasp*)- you can only long range TP to areas in a zone you've been to before.  Plus teleporting beyond a certain range will tap out all your endurance.  Sure, you'll corss IP in one jump, but you'll have no toggles and no end left to defend yourself when you get there.  Still, it's good for hopping from police bot to police bot.

Maybe make a travel power set that is based on gadget's.

1. Jump enhancer (boots that make you leap further less powerfull then sj o course)
2. Flight jetpack (makes you fly but slower then normal fly power)
3. Grappling hook (Point shoot and be pulled towards that point)
4. Teleport device (A teleport power)

These are just examples, but I think it's a great set for pvp since it gives you the ability to take all kinds of travelpower without having to take multiple pools.

A personal "Hero"-Mobile would be cool, especially if you could design it like you can your costume and have multible versions (also like costumes) maybe as a reward for 50 or something.
