Hunttar Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I have a request for a couple of changes with some of the P2W powers. On "paper" it would seem fairly easy, though the actual coding might be anything but. I have a character that is an Elven Ranger Archer that I would like to use the Flying Carpet rather than Flight/Sorcery Flight for thematic effect. What I was wondering is if a few lines of code could be added to check if you had Flight/Sorcery Flight and if you did, could the Flying Carpet use those values in terms of speed (including possibly Afterburner) and also not turn off all your other active powers as well. I would love to be able to fly on my carpet and fire my bow down on my enemies. I realize that there might be a problem with some animations of powers though. At the very least, I would like to be able to fly around and keep my defenses and personal only powers. Maybe use the same line of code from Personal Force Field that would not let you attack, but all your other powers work. Hopefully, the same could be done with other P2W powers like the Flying Disk/Void Skiff and Rocket Board. I would also love to see the Panther/Coyote Travel powers check to see if you had Super Speed and if so, you could use the value of that power but keep the "Skin"/appearance of the Panther/Coyote without your powers shutting off. The Panther/Coyote look might be especially problematic to make combat powers work visually without looking completely ridiculous or even breaking parts of the game. But again the Personal Force Field code to let just your defensive and self only powers work should be a good solution. One other complication I thought of in changing the code would be the fact that these P2W powers can be purchased and used at Level 1... If a character is doing content when they are exemplared down to a level where they did no own those travel powers a line might need to be added so the P2W powers would simply work as they do now and not allow for any powers to work when using them.

SwitchFade Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Sorry to say, the level of customization necessary for most of these requests, meaning the time investment for code, animations, powers is extensive. While it may be nice, I doubt it would happen at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herotu Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I would like to see a version of the Ninja/Beast that's just straight up normal running quickly (Athletic Stance?) without the crouching. I wonder how feasible that is. ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunttar Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Yeah, I realize and even mentioned in my post that the animations could be extremely difficult and might not be practical. But as a consolation being able to move around on a Flying Carpet/ Void Skiff/Flying Disk. Panther/Coyote travel powers without my defenses turning off would be nice. Any chance a line to see if you had Flight or Super Speed available that you could use those statistics and not have your defenses turn of? Maybe using the same line of code from Personal Force Field? At least then people could have those Animations/Skins for the fun of it and not get instantly killed when a group of mobs sees them and starts blasting. Hopefully, this might be possible.

They are additive with the ninja/beast run speed and jump amount, ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it.

Sprint is additive, SS is not, with ninja run. You asked for a fast run without the animation, that's sprint and SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrider_01 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 that carpet is lame. Saw it the other day, no self respecting ranger would ever set foot on a dining room accent piece.
