well, i just wanted to throw in some flying power concepts for consideration

Missile Surfing : Basically a retool of the sword flying power, but on a missile



Missile Riding : a slightly different position


(i know, its a bomb, but you get the idea)

Broom Surfing : A retool / reskin of those carpet flying/sword flying power

Broom Riding :



Broom Sitting : same as broom riding but with the carácter on a different position



Umbrella Flying :



Kite Flying : This could work as a retool of the cape-flight pow



Copter Hat : A small hélix appears a top of the character head enabling a more vertical flight



or maybe something more flashy, like the Inspector Gadget one

    like em, but i imagine the "riding Rocket" and "riding broom" would suffer from lots of clipping, specially for larger characters

    Also, the "rider" posture would change per mark

    I Heard a new Witch AT was planned to come out son

    could be a good chance to consider at least the broom one

    The missile riding one could actually use an animation we already have. It's the same "stand on stuff" sort of power as the Earth flight, disk flight and a few others.

    We can't do a travel power with the hands holding something like an umbrella. Too many combat animations just wouldn't work.
    The Devs don't have the resources (or staff) to do completely new animations for something like this.

    Umbrella could work if it attached to you in some other way.

    Was wandering around City Center in-game the other day when I came across this bookstore sign and immediately thought "that should be a travel power."

  • A hang glider travel power would be good, you could make the design your cape pattern when activated.
  • horripilantehorripilante Posts: 323 Arc User
    Wanted to add some more ideas, but i have no proper pictures:

    "Butt on Fire" or "Fire from Behind"

    firebutt.jpgmario_fire.jpg


    It would be work on the same speed/jump level of acrobatics
    The difference would be that your character would run around with its hands on its behind, also when jumping back and fort there would be no backflips, just your character shaking its arms and legs in panic.

    Iceblock Slide/ Feet in Ice

    feet-iceblock.jpg

    It would work like power slide, but with an ice effect, and few alterations to the animation.
    Your feet are stuck in a large Iceblock, while you slide around. Instead of remaining static, you move your arms around similar to the panic animation and/or that animation some enmies play when they are on fire.

    canon-ball.jpg

    A Canonball Flight Travel power, Munchhausen style.

    dunno if it would be a good idea at this point to have stickied Travel Power suggestion thread, like the costumes and titles ones.

    Ghost Flight

    Flying in a position similar to a ...ghost?

    ghost-pose-1.png

    Arsm front, hands resting.
    At low speed you legs remain static

    ghost-pose-2.png

    At high speed your legs drag behind.

    Used https://app.justsketch.me/ for the model

    You could at some foggish trial left behind your character

    Also a 0 point advantage that gave you a visual effect similar to the Ghostly or Spectral auras

    Ghostly-Aura.png

    Maybe a 1 or 2 points advantage that gives you stealth while flying

    A "Car Surfing" travel power. Using the slide animation and summoning a car surf on.

    Call and Uber travel power
    You pull out your phone and call an uber. An NPC car pulls up next to you and drives you to where you want to go.

    And This

    I don't realy know how to name this one:

    Head Copter/Turbine flight ???

    Basically, you flight as if you were being pulled from by the head by soem sort of propeller/turbine/device

    (It could use something like the propeller from the FoxBat Event beanie

    propeller.jpg

    or could use something like a small propulsor in a similar fashion

    head-propulsor.png

    turbine.jpg

    The structure connecting the top of the head and the propeller/propulsor should a tad longer so it sticks out even while wearing big heardos and headgear (but i would look really bad with Huge helmets)

    The body movement would be as if the character was being pulled by the device atop its head

    copter-flight.png

    The arms and legs start moving slightly back upon reachin higher speed

    copter-flight-drag.png

    At high speed the arms and legs swing to the left or right depending on wich direction you moves (maybe that would be too Ragdollish for what CO can do?)

    Unicycle:

  • blackoctoberblackoctober Posts: 12 Arc User
    Also, Balloon Flight:
    tenor.gif
    Maybe the balloons could have an inflating sound and animation when the power activates, and pop when it deactivates.
  • galactickirigalactickiri Posts: 92 Arc User
    Ground vehicles travel power; perhaps a convertible, truck, tank, etc. Not the same as a regular vehicle.
  • blackoctoberblackoctober Posts: 12 Arc User
    How about a Cartoony Running power where your legs become a wheel-like blur:
    giphy.gif

  • horripilantehorripilante Posts: 323 Arc User
    Something like the Stoic flight crossed arms but for Hoverboards, also, a Robot hand / Robot fist hoverboard
    big-hand.jpg

    Also, a travel power based on those Toy-claw machines
    crane-machine.png
    One of the mechanical claws descends from the sky/ceiling and drags the character around grabbing it from the back of the neck
    claw-machine-claw-set-vector.jpg

    The character shakes its arms and legs while being dragged around
  • horripilantehorripilante Posts: 323 Arc User
    Saw this on another mmo.
    You summon an eagle to carry you around to specific locations during some quests.
    Could work as a travel power, and be later edited changing the eagle for a crow, a phoenix, etc,etc

    Eagle-1.jpg
    Eagle-2.jpg
    Eagle-3.jpg
  • dialamxdialamx Posts: 931 Arc User
    It would be funny if they were like the eagles in LOTR, and only carry you part way to your destination, before dropping you and making you walk the rest of the way.
  • horripilantehorripilante Posts: 323 Arc User
    something like a Giant Mechanical/energy/Ghost/skeleton/rock Hand that carries/drag your character through the sky
    Kinda like this, but smaller and more hand-like.

  • horripilantehorripilante Posts: 323 Arc User
    A Jackhammer-riding travel power
    jackhammer-power.jpg
    kinda like in the old cartoons, maybe with extra locationsa place on Heavy weapons and Backpieces

    would need optional designs
    jackhammer-1.jpg
    jackhammer-2.jpg

    Also maybe a Rolling on a barrel travel power

    roll-on-a-barrel.gif

  • horripilantehorripilante Posts: 323 Arc User
    Spring shoes (or flea) Jumping

    could work as a retool of Acrobatics and/or Superjump

    jumping.png

    The character moves making small short jumps instead of running, and makes a high jump when jumping with legs stretched.

    could add a Spring like structure below the characters shoes/feet.

    spring-shoes-2.jpg

    Could also add a continous Spring noise effect when the power is in use.
  • flyingfinnflyingfinn Posts: 8,408 Arc User
    Maybe Superjump or smthg.

    After getting horripliante's Broom riding suggestion as both a TP and a device, I have some hope that the devs are looking here and considering these suggestions.
  • gynomightgynomight Posts: 93 Arc User
    I just want to say that everyone here are suggesting fabulous ideas! I love them! <3
    Also, I recently made a suggestion topic on 'Kite-Glide', so this thread is very topical to me :p
  • horripilantehorripilante Posts: 323 Arc User
    Some more ideas, based around flying on a Sphere
    sphere-sit.png
    You travel while sitting on a flying Sphere

    sphere-meditate.png
    The same, but meditating

    sphere-drag.png
    You are hold on to the sphere that moves too fast.

    The Sphere could have all kinds if textures, or even optional skins
    options.jpg

  • horripilantehorripilante Posts: 323 Arc User
    Trapdoor Tunneling
    Something like a retool of the Tunneling power, but instead of digging a hole, a trapdoor opens and your character jumps in.
    Instead of the rock/dirt moving effect, it could be like a "lump" effect moving on the surface, or a small square like platform moving and shaking on the ground. Accompanied by a metallic footstep noise.

    Rank2, Rank3 and a "Surprise" advantage that stuns or applies fear to enemies when you jump out of the trapdoor.
  • areeeareee Posts: 828 Arc User
    Some more skins to the spectral wolf travel power.
  • horripilantehorripilante Posts: 323 Arc User

    The japanese already got their flying umbrella
    Maybe we could get something like a Darbie lockbox and put it in there?
  • sapphiechusapphiechu Posts: 259 Arc User
    In 7 Days to Die, there's a mod that adds a Shark Blimp vehicle... so a Flying Shark, complete with wagging tail and perhaps a small tornado that appears when the sprint boost is used - basically a Sharknado homage.

    I raise your suggestion on the Levitation Ball from Psychonauts
    Which for CO would be basically a Reskin of Energy Slide with the jump of Acrobatics

    I can run faster than you even on my hands!

    Basically you jump forward onto your hands into a handstand and zoom around at super speed.
