    Hey, you and others might think so, but obviously FC doesn't which says alot about who holds the authority on what should and shouldn't be in the game wouldn't you think? Honestly, the 'animation' simply doesn't have value in preserving for MP's only because it's pretty crap to begin with. It's more like a 'non-animation' if I can put it that way. If THAT'S the kind of thing that MP's are focused on for preserving the character of their profession, it would be pretty sad and embarrassing for the MP community as a whole.

    Then why even have forums for discussions?

    Please, try to not let your fanboism take control of you so much. People are merely discussing how they feel about something in the game, we all know who runs the show without you pointing it out. And after this 10th anniversary debacle, very few of us would actually credit FC for knowing what should or shouldn't be in the game, even if they do have the ultimate decisions on the subject.

    You need to recognize there are things that are not worth having discussions about. This would be one of them. This isn't an 'input' item for the community ... OBVIOUSLY. If me recognizing the insignificant impact of sharing a non-animation has on the character of a profession makes me a fanboi, then so be it.

    See, you seem to be misunderstanding the human issue at play here ( a mistake often made by FC as well ). No, it doesn't impact the character or its profession. It impacts the player. And the player is the one who pays. Piss off the player enough times, they go away.

    By the way, please provide a list of things deigned "not worth having a discussion about" so we can avoid harming your sensibilities in the future.

    By the way, seems like the MP community is "inputting" quite a bit. So what qualifies as an "input item", just so everyone knows in the future?

    Well, good thing that YOU ARE NOT the one who decides what is and what is not worth discussing on these particular forums.

    I already said it ... if THIS is the kind of thing that is harming the sensibilities of players perception for the character of MP's or other professions that have shared animations, then players are simply out of touch with what really matters when it comes to defining the characteristics of the professions they play. Lots of animations are shared over many professions. Get over it. It's a done deal.

    I keep trying to use my jetpack without unequipping my Hud 1 item since it is impossible for me to self equip my Hud 1 back, someone told me it was the same as MP Quantum Wings nano which is entirely convenient and does not require you to unequip anything but I cannot seem to figure out how to use it without taking anything else off.

    It's not possible. The Jetpack is a Vehicle equipping in your HUD1, which TECHNICALLY makes it a Yalm.

    Unlike the Yalmaha Clio, which is actually a nano castable vehicle, which TECHNICALLY makes it a Phasefront Bike.

    Care to explain how you view a new flight method as a lowering of the difficulty level of AO? Because people can travel around at will with ease? Get a clue, they've been able to do that for a very long time.

    From yalms and QW to yalms in vet shop, to phasefront, to jetpack. They all just fly, it's not like one or the other adds Blackmans stat buff or something. It's flight, which has been in game forever.

    How does flight ruin the games difficulty?

    I'm a low level character, and a new player, without any high level people to throw stuff at me.

    Travel is not hard. It is boring. Tedious. The run speed is so slow, and play area so vast, that I just point in the direction of my mission, numpad-0, and tab out.

    making it dangerous wouldn't be any better. Having to run for 5 minutes to get to my mission wouldn't be improved by being attacked 14 times on the way.

    The world is large, but uninteresting. Oh look, a hill, yet another identical building. It's desolate. The point of 'slow travel' in games is to make your players experience the world they're in. That is not a good idea with this one.
