Can we get these costume pieces on the permanent?

Yes. It is counter-intuitive, but do the lower than your level farms. I believe there is a office map that is very full of mobs.

History and experience shows that while changes may seem heavy handed at the time, they are often for the best overall. Feedback for devs is important and should be shared. Criticism is where we need to tread lightly. For some perspective: I play Energy Melee/Regeneration as my main since waay back. Nerfs are not unfamiliar. Changes are no stranger. Have gone from the strongest to middling. Sometimes the actual reasons were not forth coming (exploits of game mechanics are often not discussed). Sometimes, something I was doing was the cause for a correction. Bottom line: People speak up because they care & we are lucky to be able to play publicly. This is how it goes. -Troo (April 2021)

The majority of the coming changes are most excellent.

just kidding I didn't read all the post..

wait, wait.. just hold on there.

15s durations can be impacted by activation times. 30s duration w/ 5min recharge can be a good spot for taking alphas and reactive purposes, but is a bit busy (this would be my choice) 45s duration avail up to 1/2 time.. this is just looking for a comparable power to string together. just my opinions.

If I wasn't asking a question and showing an example, yes it would be strawman. But my question was not to refute the RoP changes.

Jimmy do you mean pool powers or any power? Scorpion Shield seems to fit "A single power should not be able to bridge a gap that results in entire parts of the game being obviated" Are all these type powers on the chopping block? What about Incarnates? Specific IOs? Proc'd out epics? It would be fair to give folks a heads up.

One advantage the Flight pool has had is that it can use powers like Combat Jumping and still fly. The Leaping pool cannot use Hover and still effectively jump. Teleport can use both and still teleport. Super Speed cannot. There are many combinations of travel powers that leverage different aspects of the available powers to achieve different goals. Increasing Lives minimum flight speed a little would be preferred by many. Increasing Lives flight cap, and providing a path to or near the cap that does not require 3 power selections or slotting an individual power to ED range sounds good. (I haven't see this entirely yet) Question: Power swaps/removal/replacements by the dev team still come with a free respec? With multiple builds per character are there multiple free respecs? I look forward to build 4.

The same could be said for the Live version of Afterburner. See Bopper's note above. Also, your having zero idea how to use it in combat does not trump or discount the fact that others do have combat uses for it.

stand like an X with both hands in the air and Flares shoot out.. while hovering you are not crazy

Ha! Thanks for the stability tweakers

excellent points

So the fastest new option is 3 powers and the top option you posted goes 8.93 faster.. "significant" might be employed generously here. Does Evasive Maneuvers now only require 1 pool pick to select? If you don't slot a flight enhancement, is it essentially the same? 3 power picks and 'encouraged' slotting to go marginally faster does not in my mind equate to "ensure flight was fast without 3 powers".

If the large goal was to ensure flight was fast without 3 powers.. why not just boost to Fly? If the team wanted to add something, a popup that made Fly go faster and be done with it. Why monkey with multiple existing powers if this was about speed? In my opinion: Only Affecting Self > might work sometimes Seems like this possibly underwhelming result in speed does not outweigh lost functionality. Increases in flight speed was the leg these changes had to stand on.

Is there something that costs more than 2B you are saving up for?

I really hope base empowerments, incarnates, and IO set bonuses are not being used to justify lackluster 'improvements'.

I believe most everyone would like to fly faster. (am I off the mark there?) Unfortunately, that's not what these changes are about. If they were, simply increasing the speed and cap then walking away would suffice. Instead we're gonna get a fix on top of a fix to fix the fix of the initial flawed change. Take the blinders off.

Too slow for combat mobility.. well no. It is not too slow for that. Meanwhile, it is a tad comical to see the staunch supporters complain now when it hits their builds, play style, or preference.
