Before it lands (sorry), let's have a _very_ serious chat about Travel Powers + Flight 2.0

Edit #2: Please link me ANY topic regarding Travel Powers that can add something to this discussion.

I've been planning to create this topic for a while, but I was in jail for a month and couldn't create new topics.

So, Travel Powers are getting a much needed update. Well have a new, dedicated button for it, and the Spirit costs are going to be reduced to zero. That's awesome, and it's already happening for some heroes. So... where's the problem?

About Travel Powers

First, Travel Powers are meant to be a "Hold" (or "Channeling" as they call them in this game) type of Power. This works, yes. Toggled Travel Powers might be a bad idea, but maybe as an option in Settings, that would be cool to have for the ones that prefer it that way.

What Travel Powers 1.0 are

Correct me here, we have at least 5 different kinds of fast travel in the game:

  • Sprinting
  • Motorbikes
  • Flying
  • Teleporting
  • Leaping (Hulk Fast!, also needs fixing because he's way way faster with his Dash + Leap)
  • Webbing

What Travel Powers are not covered by Travel Powers 2.0

They are not Movement or Dash powers, so Teleports won't be affected by the future changes. That's is cool, since many Teleports have powers attached to them, so they will still cost some Spirit.

What about Flight?

Flight is a very big issue in this game. Flight is meant to be fast, and as we know, it's insanely slow. Also, for some characters, Flight should come with a plethora of Flight Powers which are non-existent to this game. This is bad, but the game was designed like this and there's nothing we can do now.
Honestly I don't like Iron Man's design because of this. I want to be able to flight and spam a ton of stuff unto my enemies. Same with Nova. He needs that.


So where's the problem with Travel Powers and Flight 2.0?

There are two main issues with Travel Powers and Flight, but mostly is about Flight.

1) Flight: This is not only a problem, this is one of the worst implementations of flight in any game. There are both design and bugs since the game's launch.

I'm mainly referring to this: http://a.pomf.cat/piptmn.webm <<<

This cannot happen anymore. It's 2015, this is a modern game.

I'm the only one that thinks that it's insanely stupid to have Flight powers that CANNOT AUTOMATICALLY GO THROUGH A DOOR? My hero can beat Surtur, but can't beat a door with a low arch.

I know this is expensive to fix. Needs several engineers and Map passes. But this cannot happen anymore, let's face it.

2) Flight Speed: It has been mentioned several times, but all flight powers need to be tuned to have way way faster travel power. Specially guys like Nova.


tl;dr

1) Maps needs to be fixed to allow for a correct flow of Flight Powers.
2) Flight Powers need to be faster
3) Fix individual powers like Hulk Fast! to actually be usable (Ref: #1, #2, #3, #4)
4) Add Travel Powers to the heroes that don't have it AND need it (Black Panther, etc.)

Hopefully Gazillion will deliver and make all these changes! What do you guys think? Is this a waste of time or actually a much needed fix?


Edit: Forgot to tag obligatory @Ryolnir, @Chufmoney and @MichaelMayhem since they do Powers =P
