    I guess you could complain about the price, if you wanted? Or that there isn't flags for other countries? :D

    Talk to Liberty Guard (next to Defender in Ren Center) and pick up his missions. The one that gives the travel power requires you to run Red Winter successfully three times.

    I really liked the fact that it used the mach speed animation, it makes more sense, since a comics flash animation is more american than a anime one

    Then by all means, Cray, don't use this power. (Unless, of course, you're not a citizen of the US; then it's not patriotism to display someone else's flag, is it? :wink:)

    I won't use it, dont worry. I have already chosen my 2 TP to be flight and acrobatics, so anything related to superspeed isn't for me.
    And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you can't enjoy patriotism or this TP, I'm just saying is that I don't like it.

    Neato.

    But we should have something for UN Day, perhaps a Perk that gives the title, "Citizen of the World"?

    Some kind of special diplomacy mission inspired by what STO has for such?

    Maple syrup speed?

    but then it would be the 'super slow' travel power - especially in January.

    well, patriotism aside, there's not very many flag designs that it could really work with and still have them recognizable as such... For example, the Union Jack might not look so good, all stretched-out like that.

    No, no. We're going about this all wrong.

    The real question is: "What is the airspeed velocity of a Unladen Zamboni?"

    Remember folks, vehicles are potentially in our future.

    Union Flag unless your toon is a ship (flag nazi) but I agree it probably wouldn't work. There is also the issue that it's to celebrate the 4th of July a day that we Brits don't actually want to wave our flag. I mean its the damn colony celebrating giving us a kick in.

    It is a nice surprise. But tying a custom alert to it that had nothing to do with it in the beginning of its inception?

    At least its showing how TPs are becoming intuitive and coming out more often.

    Midnight Pacific time (GMT -8), on July 9. And since the process only requires three successful runs on the Red Winter Alert (and, of course, talking to Liberty Guard, next to Defender, before and after), it shouldn't take that long. As of last night, my secondary account boasted a new member, the archer Starshot (although unless the AT starts being more fun pretty quick, he might be replaced by another themed hero), who had just cracked level 9 when I had to stop for the evening...

    I wanted to add my thanks to Cryptic for this wonderful TP! It's an absolute scream and looks fantastic on my patriotic, golden age toon.

    The only drag was that I had to do a complete retcon. I left the TPs at the very bottom of the power list, cuz I never thought I'd need to change them on her.:redface:

    They should do Maple Ooze Form for that. Transparent amber-coloured, with a -80% move speed penalty.

    Metallic Ooze Tunneling does let you colour it like any other power that Golds can adjust. Sadly, it isn't quite in line with the skin tones available, so my "made of red clay" hero looks like she turns into a pile of pre-loved bubble gum instead of just losing her hominidity.

    As a thought for our non-American brothers and sister, how about capes with flags of the world to help everyone express their patriotism.

    I want a horse, so I can make a Mountie superhero :tongue: Either that or a power set similar to the liquid ones but with maple syrup. And bacon rashers on the side.

    Someone did suggest a Maple Syrup travel power - basically Ooze Tunneling with an amber color (or, in deference to our Canadian brothers, colour), and moving at half speed in the frozen regions of Great Bear Lake...
