    Broom TP Video
    Keep in mind the Broom TP follow the same rule as Burrow and TP. You cannot use your power or interact while using the TP.

    BUG?: You can block while on a broom.

    Good News, the Broomstick Flight is awesome

    BAD NEWS: It cannot be used for Combat neither with Interacting with the enviroment, which is really annoying
    So it's used only for Novelty and rank 3 travel power! Not for combat use

    BUG: The Jagged Broom unlock doesn't chance the skin, the travel power still use the Default Broomstick instead

    EDIT: Wrong name, I meant Jagged Broomstick not Curling! The Broomstick from the Bloodmoon vendor! On tailor it's named Jagged
    it's 4:21 am here don't mind me

    Suggestion: Can you please make Broomstick Flight at least being able to INTERACT with the enviroment?

    It can stay off combat but not being able to talk to NPCs and open doors is annoying


    For example: Talking to sapphire during the Forum Malvanum Race where flying is required! With Broomstick this would be impossible

    Well... the position is amusing
    Are you happy to see me? or is that a Broomstick in your pocket? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)​​

    Yes

    Also, I agree that the cane should also be an MA weapon.

    Suggestion: Add Baron Cimetiere Cane as MA weapon as well
  • The skull guitar looks like the same exact one we already have?

    Could you consider some "Vacuum cleaner" skins for the Broomstick flight?

    Tattered Belt should take up Cloth costume slot instead of Belt, or better yet, have it available for both Belt & Cloth.

    People will be missing out of a lot of great costume combinations if Tattered Belt is Belt slot only, design-wise it looks more like a Cloth piece for me.

    Do love the new stuff coming. Would be cool if there were variants of those terror arms though, like version with massive bat wings lining them or a cape (or even drapes the shoulders.)

    Ghost Hunter set is very nice Homage to Ghost Busters Now if we ever got a proper Gadgeteer revamp and new gadget powers with it! UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURG, 2021 please deliver

    I cannot take the Terror Arms seriously, they are static and they look too fake

    Overall the Broom flight is very stylish and the all the new little animations given to it provides a lot of Personality!
    I can live with it being not being usable in combat, but please make it so you can interact with enviroment with it (once again, there are flying npcs like FM Race Sapphire who require interaction)

    So to sum it up
    Suggestion: If you are going to Disable Emotes while on Broom flight for obvious reasons (it's clear that people can and will use it for inappropriate emotes) AHEM
    I suggest following the same thing with the Ghost Wolf TP and make it so using specific or all Emotes plays special animation for the Broomstick
    Examples:
    • Making the character spin around
    • Doing a barrel roll on the current position,
    • Evil laugh and giggle
    • Spinning the Broom like Crimson Bloom from SB while the character levitates
    • ACTUALLY using the Broom to sweep the floor
    • Make it play the Poke with Stick emote e.t.c


    Suggestion: Make it so Block can be used on Broom Flight with No animation playing to mess up the TP
    If it can work with R.A.D Sphere to this day (Unintentionally or Intentionally) perhaps the code can allow it with Broom Flight too
    See R.A.D allows block but complety disables the blocking animation along other things

    Suggestion: Allow Broomstick Travel Power to be able to interact with NPCs and Enviroment

    Suggestion: Make Baron Cimetiere Cane available for MA blade skins
    please stop making HW and/or MA weapon skins and limiting the options, this can work perfectly for MA and there are FF builders like me who want to combine MA and HW powers for theme builds
    Still waiting for MA version of the Gear Swordonion-48.gif


    EDIT: You may also check the swimming animation while using Broom underwater​​

  • I like the terror arms. Now I can make four armed characters. It having psionic and other textures gives it some broader use. Move over PSI, I can make my own four armed enforcer.

    New idea - a snake body that just makes the legs invisible. It doesn't move but it's better than nothing. Add some psionic textures too and others

    BUG: Baron Cimetiere Cane + Heavy Weapon powers
    All Ranks of the following power's charge aura visuals mismatch with the weapon and are emitting from wrong locations
    1. Arc of Ruin
    2. Skullcrusher
    3. Brimstone
    4. Annihilate

    The usual bug for new HW skins​​

    Yes! With the Ghost or Shadow or Psionic material or something it'd also make a fun genie smoke tail thing. And maybe throw a fin option on the end for mermaids!

    Also, "Event Perks that required you to trade in costumes now check to see if you have them unlocked instead." That's a great change! Just for clarity, is this for all events, or currently just Blood Moon? I feel like I'm about to get a bunch of perks next Thursday, heh.

    FWIW, you can block while tunneling too, so probably not a bug.

    I wonder if the Toy Master will finally be removed with this event? His only purpose atm is during the Anniversary where he functions as one of the heroes that can be contacted to satisfy a mission.

    The block breaks the Travel power animation, acts like you are blocking on the ground and puts the broomstick on your Crotch :grimace:​​

    The Terror Arms remind me of the arms that belong to William Birkin from Resident Evil.

    The new stuff looks fantastic! The animation on the broom flight to is probably the smoothest animation I've seen in the entire game. Awesome to see! :smiley:

    Okay, that part is more than a little weird. I might suggest its the animation that's the bug?

    (Hardly the only weird TP/blocking animation. Arcane flight uses the 'i'm charging up manipulator' animation for its block animation, which is just bizarre, although not as weird as this).

    I just noticed that with Arcane Flight myself. Blocking with my armpits seems like it may be an animation bug too. :#
