Thank you so much for the help wit this Fiddleback and Capocollo! I don't know if it is of any help toward diagnosing the problem - this happened as I was moving a couple of alts from another SG to this one. Thanks again. You guys rock!

The absolute beauty of all of this is that there is no additional coding required. I really like what Everlasting has done - so much so I believe I'll build a base on Torchbearer for public access.

Sent you a PM with that info. Thanks so much for your help!

What exactly is confusing? A discussion started, people expressed ideas, thoughts and opinions and people changed their thoughts, opinions and ideas based on what they learned from other points of view. Is this really relevant anymore in an age where IO set bonuses make these things obsolete?

You do know that through discussion and sharing thoughts with others, ideas and opinions can change and evolve over time, right?

Yes ... that's kind of the purpose for having a discussion - to discuss a topic with others and flesh out ideas.

Scroll up. I mention my son has the same issue on his account as well.

Not at the moment, no. I suppose someone could help test by putting a random alt into it to see. Thanks for the response! Let me know if there is any further info I can provide.

I believe an appropriate question here is to ask what level of investment someone is putting in to pimp out their character. Reason I mention this is that what you suggest is dependent upon what can be easily afforded. Some players do not have tons of inf or merits lying around, so buying super expensive IO sets may not yet be within their reach.

Indeed correct about Teleport. My bad, I forgot about that one. I would be happy if you could enhance it at all without needing to take another power to get afterburner. Something is better than nothing.

Allowing flight speed enhancement to actually work on fly is not making it OP, especially in a time where travel powers are becoming more and more irrelevant.

Your "little bit" is another mans "whole lot" or "too much".

Absolutely. I've no problem tossing a few slots into fly to make it go faster (that's kind of what fly speed enhancements are for...). It's needing to take another two powers from the pool in order for flight to reach its full potential. That's the big problem to me and why the nonsensical "must be a balance" speeches don't work. I don't need to take any additional powers in the other travel pools in order for them to reach their limit. You have to with the flight pool.

Very nice work Rhass! What object(s) is the Lover's Perch made from?

You can already walk through solid objects while base editing.

Exactly! And it goes a long way toward requiring 2 other power selections to make flight speed palatable. That's actually an interesting suggestion. You can already "phase" in a way in the game when you're able to move through "solid" objects while base editing. Wonder how difficult it would be to incorporate that into SS?

This is near identical to my experience with the nerfs as well. I also had a Fire/EM tank and the "improvements" just gutted the character to the point of unplayability. Kind of like the idiotic -DEF debuff on Rage we have now...

Well, sure. There are zones where Fly has something of an advantage over SS just as there are zones where teleport has advantages of SS or SS has an advantage over the others. I still feel SJ and teleport is faster in Faultline than fly - but that's my opinion.

Those would be way cool!

Water doesn't cause SS to slow down.

What you're missing is I'm not missing that. I get it. I also know that on characters that have SS, SJ or Teleport, I'm still getting to where I need to go faster than on characters who just have flight. Totally acceptable as it avoids needing to piss away 2 other power selections and slots.

And what about fly without afterburner?

^ This would be acceptable. It just needs something IMO. By itself, it's too slow as far as I'm concerned. It's more like "float gently" rather than fly. Personally, I've never found SS, SJ or Teleport to be "inconvenient". The only travel I find inconvenient is those jump portals in the shadowshard. Those are annoying. I have various alts who all use different travels for thematic reasons. Under the majority of circumstances, I get where I need to go faster on characters that do not have flight because they just move faster.

How? If you want to fly, toggle on fly. If you want to leap, toggle on leaping. If you want to run, toggle on run. You lose absolutely nothing as far as identity.

So you can't run faster from one end of IP to the other with SS than I can fly? Uhm, no - not buying it because I've seen it and experienced it many times. IMO there should never have been separate travel pools - just a single inherent "travel" where you can toggle if you want to run fast, jump high, or fly.
