57 and 60 month rewards revealed!
 
#7
Yeah... I stay out of the official forums because of hairballs like this. *sigh*

Can someone explain to me just how it would break game balance? You can take the travel powers at level 6. Okay. Ignoring the fact (for the moment) that the
epics have them at level 1... just how does this affect things?

Travel powers are effectively useless in combat, really; about the only benefit I can see is that you get a (pretty weak) stealth via Super Speed. Fly is
useless in combat -- lets you get AWAY from combat easily, maybe, but that's it. Superjump, the same -- you can't slot defense in them, either, so
what's the point?

Plus, at that low of a level, they are truly end hogs of the first order. Using them in combat will make you _lose_ effectiveness; hell, at 14, if I forget to
turn Super Jump off, for example, I hear that lovely 'power-down' sound waaay too often.

So it can't be combat people are griping about. Right? Or have I missed an angle here?

If it's not combat, then it's gotta be the other aspect -- travel. Which seems to me to boil down it "it's not FAIR! Waaah! They get to get
around fast while I have to walk! Waah!"

I'm tempted to quote the pony ride comment on that one.

Anyway, I'm agreed with Wire -- the 57 month rewards are teh lame. 50% off tailor sessions, big whoop. I haven't paid for a tailor session -- even on
a new alt -- in _months_ (well, except for the time I got hit by the tailor bug, but eh); anybody who's been on longer than a year (by definition, everyone
getting that reward, heh) has free tailor tokens popping out their ears. I'd rather see a new costume part or a craftable base item or, well, just about
anything.

60 month rewards are nifty, but I'm in no hurry. As-is, I get the Raptor Pack at level 6 anyway, and that does just fine until I get around to getting a
travel power. Heh.
