[Relatively easy Super Speed "fix"]

Athletic Run doesn't increase your Run Speed while Super Speed is active.  Travel powers were redesigned to only apply the strongest buff, three years ago, and Super Speed is faster than Athletic Run, so only Super Speed's +Run is applied if you're running both toggles.  Super Speed's Momentum mechanic also provides comparable Jump Speed and more than twice as much Jump Height as Athletic Run, and those buffs included in the non-stacking rules, so you're really only benefitting from Athletic Run's +Jump Speed/Height when you're standing still.

 

Sprint does stack with Super Speed, but as @macskull noted, you can hit the Run Speed cap without Sprint.

 

So this "fix" appears to be for the "problem" of having to use enhancements to hit the Run Speed cap.

 

 

That's from the Page 2 travel power update.

 

That means "Use enhancements, that's why we have them."

 

Completely fair, and I honestly didn't notice that this was the case. I think what confused me most was that when Athletic Run is active I can literally "run" (whilst jumping) up the side of the  base of the wall barriers surrounding the zones as well as other nearly sheer surfaces. Perhaps just adding this ability to SS then? 

 

And I still want to run on water as opposed to moving super quickly through water with a relatively slow swimming animation😁

 

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the discussion.  It has clarified much for me and helped my mindset a fair bit actually.

Super Speed is pretty lackluster as far as the pool goes, and others have made better suggestions for a rework than I care to. The travel power though, I think could be fairly simply buffed, as at the moment it lags behind the rest. I find that it's actually fairly decent when paired with Sprint, and Athletic Run, but I'd love for it to feel that way without the other two toggles. What if the attributes from those were just added to the SS travel power and then made to not be able to activate Sprint and the athletic run type powers while it was active?

 

Bonus points if you could replace the jump animation that occurs when scaling a steep surface using athletic run with a running animation running up the object. (though I'm aware the game may simply not allow that)

 

Oh, and bonus bonus points if you can let us run on water.. 😆

 

Thanks for your time.

[Dual Pistols ... could we remove the stiff arm run?]

I'd actually take the Naruto run over the constipated Frankenstein's monster run we've got currently. 😆

[Dual Pistols ... could we remove the stiff arm run?]

Minor request. We look freaking badass until we run, kinda like Seagal back in the day I suppose. Oddly enough, when we strafe the run animation is pretty normal, but when we run straight ... 🤪

 

Whether it can be done or not, thanks for all you do.

 

[Indomitable server]

It's back.

[Indomitable server]

Haven't tried them all, but Everlasting appears to be working. Just fyi.

[Indomitable server]

I'm not sure, but I can't login to Indomitable either at the moment.  It tries to connect, freezes, then gives me a login server error.  Also if I click anywhere on the screen while it's frozen, the game crashes. I think this happened to my wife yesterday.  She just had to wait it out, I think it was around an hour.  Honestly, the powers that be are doing a phenomenal job, all things considered.

[Attention roleplayers!]

Personally, I wouldn't mind waiting for a future server (if more are coming) and just having one named Roleplayers. :-D

[Servers still down?]

Down for me at the moment as well.  I'm just now finding all of this and thrilled to be returning.  Thank you so much to the powers that be, don't worry too much about the server issues.  I'm sure that things will work out.

If there is anything I can do to help let me know. Also, it's nice to see some of the community that always made this game awesome returning.

 

Cheers,
