Thread: New way to travel

  1. #21

    Smile Got a Jet Pack for my MP!

    I just hope when I do QW on my MP that Im going to be allowed to wear the bat or angels wings. It would be very sad indeed to see a message that says, "Due to pure MP play you are not allowed to wear social back items while using QW!".

    As well, I cant wait to say,"Do I look like Im wearing a Jet Pack?" to some noob. Seriously.

    Well, i don't think it's the fact that people are flying that's troublesome. It's that they are doing it with Metaphysicist style.

    Well, at least MPs are still the only visual prof that can fly around in leet form..
    Hlep gnak!

    not true. agents can do that too

    (actually agents can fly around like a tiny slayerdroid if they so wish)

    no NCU or nano cost (vs 32)
    doesn't cancel when you zone indoors or leave the grid
    etc etc

    There is absolutely no reason to use QW ever again. To make up for this, I suggest they allow QW in SL
    OK, lets be honest and say that QW still has one advantage. It can be casted while in combat.

    Maybe, if you are on full agg and are wasting yet another 50 ncu on those crummy -interrupt buffs

    Another thing - I put the jetpack on my level 10 shop toon. QW is a ql 103 nano.

    ( This MP whine thing is almost too easy )

    Here's the difference:

    Advy flight: castable perhaps 130ish or so.
    MP flight: castable perhaps 80ish or so.
    Yalm flight: 81 VA, but 3-5 million credits, 7 Vet Points (now slashed to 1 Vet Point) or 250 Paid Points.
    Jetpack flight: 81 VA. That's it. No profession or even credit requirements.


    That's the main trigger of ire with this Jetpack - the fact that it's completely free of charge and requires a scant amount of skill to completely bypass ground dangers on RK, when one of the best parts about travelling on RK was the flora and fauna, and the dangers thereof of stepping too close.

    THIS.

    1. MP flight animation is no longer unique, and as Klod put it, it was a signature for us. It's one thing that made MP's mystical and in fact, QW was the sole reason I made an MP so long ago, and now I love her as my main.

    2. Now anyone can fly for virtually free. If they had made the jetpack a valued item, I would not be near as angry. But the fact that a level 10 shop toon can just slap it on and any froobnoob can automatically traverse any part of the map, wtf man.

    Don't get me wrong, I actually love the idea of a jetpack, as I am a futurist in thought and this is a futurist world... And the idea of a jetpack is just balls. But they just went about it all wrong. I'm vehemently distressed at their idea of effective content release.

    And BS still sucks.
    creds pls

    And here I thought the signature of an MP was it's 3 pets with different roles and their uber looking tier armor! :S

    But as is the MP way, they'll dig deep to find any way they can to complain.

    It's illogical to link the fact that everyone can fly for free with the fact that the jetpack uses MP flight 'Animation' (BTW, calling that animation is REALLY stretching the truth.) then claiming the animation should be changed because of the fact that everyone can fly. Two completely separate issues here.

    If you are bumhurt because it uses the same animation, that's fine, but don't claim it needs to be fixed because it makes it too easy for everyone to fly around. Where were you when they introduced vehicles ... of ANY kind? it wasn't too easy to fly around then, but it is now, because it's using MP animation? Nonsense.

    I actually think it is fantastic and appropriate that a really awesome item has been made available to everyone as part of the anniversary. It's just so easy to cry about the plight of the MP that I can't resist

    If bumhurt is disrespect, then I suggest that perhaps you're just overly sensitive, especially since that wasn't directed at you. The whole idea that the jetpack for flying 'cheapens' what it means to be an MP because it uses the same animation is a rather ridiculous notion in the first place.

    Because there isn't anything that says the 'animation' of standing still while floating in the air is unique to MP's .. other than the MP players that think that saying it makes it so. That authority there is meaningless, so the idea it's unique to MP's and should stay that way is nonsensical.

    I mean, if the jetpack was a CASTABLE item, I would see the problem here ... it would just be QW with a different name. The way jetpacks are implemented, It's not the same thing as QW and in no way does making shared animations over different effects remove or lessen the gameplay of any profession.

    I don't know. I'd say 8+ years of that specific and unique animated stance only belonging to MP's would convey a certain ownership to that particular class and those who play it.

    Actually, there was a line in the old game manual that said so. But ok, not that I care THAT much. They can give out CM dispensers next, for all I care.

    P.S.
    Global Agenda has more sexy jetpacks anyways.

    Was also a line in the old manual that said you could jump between servers with no problem.

    Now if they made a cast-able jetpack vehicle... now that would be more related and wrong.

    Am I the only one who always wondered if the Rocketeer wore asbestos pants and underwear to keep from burning his ass off with the jetpack?
