The only thing teleport needs is more animation options in the tailor, besides just that silly "put both my arms up" animation.

The Translocation animation from the Sorcery Pool is a neat alternative animation. 

 

Edit: Ah looks like you mention that and the other variations in a later post. Either way, I see you point. Flight has four poses, there are like 5 run animation variations too. And you can Jump/Leap at least two different ways depending on how a player hugs buildings or double jumps.

Cosmetics aren't bad.

It takes time for DEVs to do animations and that has be the thing they are into in order to do it.

 

What are your suggestions for "good" teleport power exec SFX?

Maelstrom has a unique tp animation.

The flash-step animation from burst of speed is also pretty cool.

Okay. So that is one that you would like seeing as an alternate SFX for teleport.

 

Any thoughts on what other ones should look like?

The generic "touch random computer on your forearm" animation would be cool if you wanted a more tech-oriented animation.

Ninjitsu also has a few varieties of "press both hands together" if you wanted something more mystical, but not as hand-wavy as sorcery's.

*face palm*

I was begging for your proposed tech option.... Though it would need to have the proposed animation reduced to keep up.

Oh no doubt.  I wonder if the generic leadership "fist to chest" animation could work.

Steal the Smoke Flash animation from Ninjutsu for those with a Batman/Ninja preference.

I mentioned a few animations in a post here already. The ones from existing teleport powers would make for a good start.

 

Also, unless I'm missing some file extension reference I don't have access to, being decidedly Not-A-Dev, 'SFX' usually means 'sound effects,' not really what we're talking about here.

I see.

At this point it is "SFX most commonly stands for sound effects in film and video, but it can also be used to describe special effects as a whole."

 

I guess it is a generational thing.

Thanks for letting me know.
