I find this idea rather amusing and support it as an alternate and additional to the existing flight emotes.
How feasible? Well...you would break the emote everytime you jumped, but maybe do something along the lines of a Prestige Sprint to accomplish it?
You can keep your Blackwand, though. I'd sell my own Nemmie Staff for a Prestige Sprint: Flee so that I can run like those flailing-arms panicked civilians.
From my previous text, you need to ask this?

Yes. I do.

Ding!
I was waiting for the word "Tutorial".

People sometimes assume that the Casual Player has no knowledge of how IOs are crafted, when the University contact runs them through the process and hands them a shiny new crafted IO on the way out the door.

This.

*Sighs and remembers back during the days of the Marvel lawsuit and wonders what the terms of the "Undisclosed Settlement" were.*

I use it for a very particular thing.
Usually, I am flagged with the big red "NOT ACCEPTING". If I get an interest in a particular team that is advertising or a friend logs on, I switch it to "Looking for Patrol" and ask for the invite.
If I switch my flag to any of the other flags, I run the risk of being snagged with someone who is legitiimately looking for one of those other things (Missions, TFs, Any, etc.) and do not wish to waste thier time or mine with "Sorry, was looking for a team, but not yours."

Personally, l think that the whole thing should be revamped. Maybe a "Looking for AE"? But also, some sort of tutorial in it's use or at least a much greater awareness that we even have a flag system. It's bad that when hitting L4, the trainer tells me "To invite others to team, right-click on them!". Back Alley Brawler is telling me to blind-invite by line-of-sight? Whaaaaaaaat? That's just wrong.

Apparently so.

Also: Merge the servers, Raise the Level Cap, Officially santioned RMT sales direct from the company and Open PvP in every zone via flagging on/off by character.

I think Power has the day off, or we might see more interesting suggestions.

Originally, my standard was L14.
Then, after Mayhems/Safeguards came into the game bringing temp travel powers, my standard was L24 (for exemplaring to Bloody Bay).
Now, with the new SSK/Exemplaring rules, I suppose I could put them off until L30.

I've only once gone with the "no travel powers ever" build (SR scrapper...didn't need it.) and once ran a Kinetics Corruptor who used Siphon Speed and Inertial Reduction for travel...then respecced out of IR because CJ/SJ was better. <Insert Rant Here>

That's the first time that I've heard that counter-suggestion to this. Interesting.

But on <servername>, Joe Blow was taken and the OP didn't want to go with "Jo Blow", "Joe Bloh", "Jo3 Blow." or other silliness to fake the name?
Was anything wrong with "Joe Shmoe", "Joe Normal", "Joe Sixpack" or "Joseph Blow"?

Edit to Add: I'd like to direct the OP to Virtue's Name thread, where he could request that whoever has the name on a character they're not using could help him out. They're pretty good about that.

On the topic of the suggestion itself, <cut-and-paste Sam's post here>.

*shrug*

Maybe next time, slugger.

Why not?

I always found it a bit odd that Uncommons and Rares were "pick it as you like", yet Commons were "grab bag".
More options is usually a good thing.
Let's go for a "pick a specific" Common salvage.

Heck, I wouldn't care if they added a "grab bag" option for Uncommons (which I'd probably NEVER use) and Rares (which I might, if I were in the mood).

As a returning player (from before I-9?) , you have a lot to catch up on.
A character that was created before I-9 and is midway on levels is likely much poorer financially than a character that was started afterwards and has only leveled in recent times. Since you are slotted in SOs and will have to replace them constantly as you level, you may run into a financial bind.
You now have the option to toggle on/off XP gain (you will notice that leveling is much faster than before). Toggling XP off means simply that, and you will recieve the same rate of Influence/Drops. So it is an option, should you be facing being unable to afford replacing your SOs as they rot.
With a little bit of attention to detail, your new characters will not experience this problem on thier way to L50. Not sure what your "Toons" will do, though, but likely they will be well-stocked on anvils, banana cream pies, Acme products and whatever else they require.

"But what about Accolades?"
There's the question. Should a badge-hunter be allowed to earn all of the Accolades on his L1s as soon as they are rolled?

My answer is NO, and my work-around is thus:
Allow for what I call "Shadow Badges". Badges copied but unearned (on that character) will be able to be seen on the badge list, and used as titles, just not usable towards Accolades until they are earned the normal way on that character.

Edit to add: Badges earned on other characters would indeed unlock weapon skins, ("Untouchable" on your Scrapper would unlock the Tommy Gun for your next Blaster) and Costume pieces, as applicable (See: Witch Hat)

Some badges are account-wide, and based on the player's actions, rather than that of the individual character.
Examples: Veteran Badges, rightfully so, as they're based on the Player keeping his/her account active over time.
Also, many of the AE badges, although I'm not sure that I agree with that decision on thier part.

I can see the reasoning behind keeping most of the individual accomplishment badges character-specific. Obviously, a character I roll out of Outbreak should not be sporting 1 million damage taken (that would take some serious farming to achieve), Unvieler (No Nemesis in the tutorial) and "X Debt repaid" badges (No debt calculated until higher level).

But Anniversary Badges? I could see the reasoning of "I was around at that time with an active account and logged in at that time.".
Sure, it would be a stretch, but it would make as much sense to log in to a bunch of AE badges.

Personally, I want to see the Anniversary badges accountwide for selfish reasons. I have all of them, but not on the same character. I would like to delete one particular character, but hate to see his badges go, as he was my main badger for a while.

Nah, a Flood of corrections would have to include that the OP's signature should be editted to change the third word in the second sentence to "Is", rather than "In", and that "Ture" in the third line should be "True".
Thank you.

That would be a correction.

FYI: IO's don't expire as you level.
Also: higher-level IOs outperform SOs, particularly IOs that enhance more than one aspect. (Example: Acc/Recharge vs plain Recharge)
A full set of L40ish IOs in a six-slotted attack can grant 66% Acc/Recharge/EndRed and 98% Damage bonus. Can't get there using SOs.

Which set enhancements to look for?
Well, it depend on what you have for powersets.
If you have a Defence-based character, such as Super Reflexes, look at your Combat Attributes screen (accessible via your powers tray, just click on the word Powers to pop up a menu, the click on Combat Attributes.)
Check out exactly how much Defence you have with all your toggles running. Maybe consider adding Defence set bonuses until you get around 45% in each.
If you have a Regeneration based character, consider going for +HP and +Regen to try to cap it out.
Recharge is a popular thing to aim for.
Damage bonuses are not very commonly found in set bonuses, so I wouldn't worry much about them.
There isn't a lot of sets that offer much in the way of Resistance bonuses, but if you have a Resistance-based character, you might want to look at adding a few to stack with your existing values.

Money is a problem?
Don't worry about it. While the very tip-top enhancements are very expensive, the second-best offer nearly as good of return for far less expenditure. As you level in a post-Market CoH, you will rack up the Inf by selling your unwanted recipe/salvage drops at the market. By doing so, I've seen that direct Inf dropped by foes is less than 1/7th of my total income.
Be aware that some stuff is high demand/low supply (the good stuff), some is high supply/low demand (Snipes, Slows, Immobs) and much is in between.

Would be interesting if we were to get a slider of "Only accept Email containing X amount of Inf or higher".

Spammer wants my attention? Gotta make it worth my while before I flush it down the delete&ignore bowl.

Will be interesting to see if there is a "Postage Fee" for this Inf transfer service that is reasonanly more reliable than the Market. Hello, Inf sink.

Remember the expression "The lottery is a tax on people who can't do math"?
If your Inf gets intercepted while Emailing to yourself, it's a tax on people who can't spell thier own character's names. I can't wait for the first angry posts from guy who wanted his alt xXxSuperBadgerxXx to get his sugardaddy's Inf, but accidentally mailed it to oOoSuperBadgeroOo instead. I will laugh most heartily.

This somehow bothers me. I'm completely thumbs-up for the rest of the Issue, except for Ulta-mode graphics, which thankfully are optional.

Sending Inf to your alts is something I was always "meh" about. Every character can be completely self-sufficient, so it isn't needed, and there are a number of workarounds to get the transfer done. But it is a welcome QoL improvement to do so. I always treated Inf transfers to alts as being a treat, not the all-important NEED that some claimed it was. Because it wasn't.

But sending $Inf via Email to other people's characters? How often would anyone other than a RMT customer need this? Can't you simply have one of the recipient log onto thier alt and do the transaction face-to-face via the existing trade mechanism? I suppose that it would make RMT buyers more confident, knowing that they don't have to share thier account passwords to recieve thier ill-gotten gains. (Just thier credit card numbers...hah! Good luck with that.)

But, I have decided not to get too concerned until I see some actual details about this.
Example:
*Is there going to be a "postage fee"? We've already seen discussions about the need for Inf sinks, and with the Market taking a chunk of Inf during Inf transfers, I could see a fee for using a service that is more reliable and safer for doing the same thing.
*Is there going to be a maximum amount, less than the soft Inf Cap of 2 Billion? I don't imagine so, but we'll see.

Time will tell.
