New Fly Temp Power Options

[Rudra]

Was talking with someone and I decided to throw my hat in the ring for new P2W temp flight power options. I don't actually expect to see any of these implemented, but to add variety to the themes available, I'm making the suggestion.

 

Contracts:

Angel Contract

Demon Contract

Djinn Contract

 

      These powers would summon the stated entity that you paid to have a contract with. The stated entity carries the character around. You have to have the entity let you go in order to fight.

 

Transformations:

Swarm of Bats

Large Bird

Giant Bat

Flock of Birds

 

      These powers would turn the character into what they say.

 

Mad Science:

Flying Shark

Pterosaur

 

      These powers call forth the summoned, science created or lab bred/made creature that either the character grabs hold of or grabs hold of the character to fly around. Goes away when the power is not active.

 

Magic:

Potion of Flying

Winged Boots/Sandals

 

      The potion would only have a duration of 5 or 10 minutes and would remain active for its entire duration without means of turning off, but would not have any associated models for the power. It would have an animation where the character drinks the potion in question though. The winged boots/sandals would replace the foot models used by your character, and they will flap for as long as the power is active. (Requesting the boots/sandals also be made available in the costume creator if made and added to the game.)

 

Technology:

Flight Belt

Anti-Gravity Belt

More varieties of jetpacks

(Edit: Wonderful Windup Wings [From the costume creator. You strap on these mechanical wings and go. Lasts as long as a jetpack.])

 

      These very large belts will obscure the character model for the belly. The flight belt would have controls and actual thrusters, likely ported over from the existing jetpacks. The anti-gravity belt would have controls and bulky doodads that grant the anti-gravity power. (Requesting the belts and any/all jetpack models also be made available in the costume creator if made and added to the game.)

I could see a "Pterosaur serum" that uses the existing "super serum" costume change emote, and just has you sprout some generic bat/demon wings for its duration.

We also have the "drink forumla" emote that could work nicely for the flight potion.  As an alternative to how others work, I could see it having a 10-15 min duration, but cannot be turned off.  The winged boots might be a bit trickier to rationalize, as I don't see why they'd only last a couple minutes.  Maybe just treat those like the jetpack?

 

I'm not a huge fan of the ones where an entity carries you around.  Maybe just make it a temporary costume replacer item, since it'd have an "only affect self" effect anyway.

I said the potions would have a duration of 5 or 10 minutes. See below:

(Edit: The boots/sandals would have a duration of 1 hour or however long the jetpack temp power runs for.)

I would be more inclined to see it turn the character into a pterosaur instead.

Well, damn. And here I thought I was being creative. (Edit: Well, except for the bird, bat, flock, and swarm which I most definitely took from another thread on this forum. And all the technology entries which I also took from others' posts on this forum. The potion and the winged footwear I took from D&D/Pathfinder, as well as Greco-Roman mythology. The rest? I thought I was being creative with....)
