Heavy Weapon Flight

Here's another travel power idea I had knocking around in my head. Y'know how Thor rather looks like his hammer is doing all the work for flying him around? I'm not sure if that's how his flight works or not, but I think it'd be a nice match for people with HW builds. The different ranks could have different levels of energy emanating from around the weapon much like the powers in the set do, and the weapon would use the same geo as your powers in that given costume.

Now, this would also give HW users a minor advantage over other players in regards to allowing them to keep their weapon out permanently. As such, I feel it would be nice if we also got a new addition to our key binds list or console commands that does this more efficiently than the method we have now of beginning a charge or maintain with the weapon and then using the console command to stop before the power finishes. This wouldn't be NECESSARY to implement this travel power suggestion, but as I said it's probably long overdue to many people if you can do it without having to make any new "tech," as it's been called in regards to putting new features in place such as using weapons as emanation points of other powers.

As with my other recent suggestion idea (see here for that), There is room for more than one variety. People partial to the lightning effects of HW could get one, while those liking the fire could get another. There's also room to make them for other weapon sets to be used for the geo while you fly with this but perhaps if that is doable, rather than just using whatever HW your costume is using, it could use the energy builder to choose what weapon to draw out.

    That could be cool.

    Reminds me of some old cartoon about a caveman superhero with a magic club.

    Wow- you got me by ten years... I bow to your infinitely superior gray hairs (unless, of course, you only watched them as reruns. In that case, it's merely a nod :tongue:)

    why limit this to one type of weapon?
    it should be any weapon flight.

    Nice Idea. /signed. Perfect World (the game) actually has a common travel power that made the character go on a big sword. However, your idea sounds more realistic and so I signed it.

    I used to be Hies but then Perfect World wasn't so perfect and now I'm piercingwhistle! Here, have this thread from my long-gone account. AoE Projectile Set!

    So, this is basically just "brandish weapon" + "gear 1" Heroic Flight?

    I did mention that possibility in the body of my post. I used Heavy Weapons as the basic principle for the idea, because that power set inspired this brain wave for me.

    That is how I imagined it, yes. Although, the weapon would have a different "trail" than Heroic Flight uses. Trailing bits of energy that fit to the set.

    Yay! This also neatly avoids having to deal with all of the brandish weapon hacks that don't always work.

    What about we surf on the weapons?

    I could easily picture my Heavy Weapons girl surfing on her gigantic magical Gladiator sword.
