An idea I don't think anyone wouldn't like. Can it be done, devs?

    So what if the movements had power effects? Like if you have fire and flight. Everytime you activate supersonic your legs turn into fire. You're a speedster? You leave a fire trail behind. Ice? Leave a frozen trail.
    Acrobatic and ice, everytime you jump you create an ice pillar from the floor.
    Wouldn't change anything regarding the gameplay or combat, just a few visual effects and I guess everyone would like it. I don't see why would someone not like it, actually.
    An option could be given in the styles menu "movement: power bonded or normal".
    So, whadaya think? :D

    Maybe there's no need for options but just implement it in the game like the Gu31 in gotham the pillars looks amazing.

    The option was just in case someone didn't like the idea, but it sounds so awesome to me that I can't imagine someone not liking it lol

    It's a good idea but the problem is limitations... You have to understand that the changes have to be compatible with PS3 hardware as well. Currently FFXIV has a problem on PS3 that sometimes there is too much stuff going on that the hardware of the PS3 can't keep up. I do like the idea and one way around it would be able to toggle it on or off. If it is too much for your system to handle toggle it off and there problem has now disappeared.

    EDIT: I used FFXIV as an example of how some things may seem difficult to accompany due to the limitations of the multiple platforms. Any changes should be accompany all platforms. Personally I think releasing GU 31 was a bad idea. PS3 users don't get anything out of the "upgraded" visuals because the hardware can't support it. This leaves them in the dark and some people may see it as excluding the PS3 player base.

    Ok, took me some time, but here's what I got from a quick brainstorm.

    I like how Earth is flying on a rock like Terra does.

    In theory, a cool idea. In practice, I'm skeptical of anything that would ask the PS3 to process more graphics information.

    It's not about the graphic, it's about the graphics quality. Thia actions would affect just like a power, except that it's activated everytime you activate your "super-movement".

    I love this idea! Since it can be turned off (for the PS3) if the player have any change or "weight" in the game!:)

    I love this idea too. Absolutely. I would probably use super speed once in awhile if it didn't cover your feet in electricity, which certainly doesn't go with powers like ice or mental.

    I'm DamageControl and I support this idea

    Great Idea that would look real cool to boot... but you know what that means.. probably won't happen lol.... fingers crossed

    I would want quantum to have a teleport power not that other power it would be like Infamous 2 Nix's teleport power

    PS3 would just have to deal with not having those effects. In the PC world, if you don't have a system that can handle the maximum of a game, you upgrade; otherwise, you make due with lower quality. Deal with it.

    Well, they could make it just for PS4, I mean, nothing would change, just effects. PS4 has better graphics, which makes me think it's possible.

    Cool idea, the ice pillar jump sounds exactly like infamous, good game btw. Definetly enjoyed that.

    Then you have the issue that you're exluding a large portion of the player base. Which is a problem. They then would get upset over this and threaten to leave the game if they don't take it away or give it to them-more likely give it to them. Good idea in THEORY tho to do what I've heard in reimplementing this idea...but until they drop PS3, which will likely happen when they drop PS4 and PC too by shutting the servers off, I unfortunately don't even see any more POWERS coming after Munitions, Atomic and Serums unless they DO drop the PS3 after this...and to drop an entire system in an MMO style of game...that's definitely gonna be difficult when they figure out exactly what just happened. It's just something that you really can easily do if you want to have three things happen: (a) your game continuing to flourish and (b) for you to continue putting bread on your family's table at the end of the day and (c) you don't want to see your sorry butt laid off. Really, that's just the way the real world is when you're in the tech business.

    I like it. The PS3 will smoke, explode and it will be done :)

    I believe this was mentioned at SOE live.
