OK, question: I know we will get a free starter movement power at first level.
But what is dear to my heart is, when can we FLY? I loved flight at COH. for me it was the only way to travel.
Well that is really a question for us all, what level will the major movement powers be available?
and for that matter, will big feathery wings be available at launch?
and if you have wings, will glide be available at 1st level? With wings, death from falling really shouldn't be an issue.

You answered your question with your first sentence.

...wings that have the option to scale opacity would be nice too... :)

Wings are a costume item.
Costume items are "cosmetic" and have no game mechanical relevance or bearing on what your PC can "do" or not.
Powers are a game mechanical item.
If you don't want to fall, toggle on your Fly or Hover Power.
Did I miss anything?

sev171 is correct. I did some research and found a Dev Quote:
Thank you Tannim. We get our major travel power at 1st level.
I thought all I would get was Hover.
Sorry Folks, I am the dweeb today.
What did we learn here? Search is your friend.

Redlynne, I am well aware of what is and is not a power...was just a lil quasi humor since wings were mentioned... plus, never hurts to plug something one is interested in where ya can. :p
Cyclops, no worries. plus, "search" is over rated imo. plus, the moment you do post in a thread that hasn't been used in a bit you get accused of Necro....to me...that is exactly the place to put like minded thoughts....this way when searching you have one thread to look at versus a million. :)

Wings are actually a huge issue, and something we have given a lot of attention to.

Just for clarification, you don't get the 'major' travel power at level 1 you get access to the type of travel power you want at level 1. From there, well let's just say things get different as you level.

Wait! What do you mean by that?!! Wings won't be there for launch?!!

Devmas showed us 'Firefairy Wings', but they only seemed decorative, rather than functional.
Be Well!

One of the stretch goals was wings, IIRC. But my phone isn't smart enough to check. :(

It was one of our reached stretch goals which said we would add 4 distinct wing sets with their own animation cycles, textures, and initial auras. And 2 more cape styles too.

(Revives) well, thank you. I feel much better now.

I realize this is off topic, but will we be able to change their opacity? just curious... :)

Also off topic: will there be a travel power that allows characters to climb on walls? Preez?

Not at launch. We have plans, but no promises.

Why would wall crawling be a travel power? Seems to be more of a side power to go along with travel/sprint/walk.
perhaps combined with an acrobatics type travel power? a lil faster than the standard sprint, a lil better jump than the standard jump, with some nice flips and stuff mixed in and the ability to "cling" to vertical surfaces. just a thought.

DCUO has a nice "Acrobatics" travel power. You can cling to and climb up buildings, and it includes a "glide" function so that you can climb a tall building and glide a good distance before having to get more altitude again. Ground movement is quick, but not as fast as Super Speed.
What it really needs, though, is an animation that lets the cape flare out during "glide." Even in CoH, our wings were still when we stood, but would flap when we flew or hovered. I would like the option to use my cape as a hang glider!
Cant climb up poles? :P
Argh! Streetlights! Super Speed in DCUO can also turn up vertical surfaces, which can make streetlamps and doorways so Dangerous! If you don't steer carefully, you can find yourself doing loop-de-loops around them.
Yes, Acrobatics can climb poles, trees, and buildings, but can't stick you to a passing vehicle.
Be Well!
