Tailwind Update Mod Mechanics

[Morec0]

Alright, we ALL know what we want out of a Tailwind rework so I wont dwell too much on it (Cloudwalker, but visible and can attack).

 

What I'm here to do is suggest ways modding for the ability could work:

 

Power Strength: NOPE! It's out. No effect anymore.

 

Power Duration: This will determine how fast you can move while flying.

 

Power Efficiency: Like Cloudwalker the ability will drain energy based on the amount of travel time, this will lessen that cost.

 

 

Aaaaaand that's all I got.

It's been suggested that maybe it could work a little like archwing.

That is precisely what I'm talking about here.

So funny how people kept saying flying couldn't work on normal maps, but then boom, DE drops a frame that does just that. +1 from me sir

Tailwind synergizes with parkour 2.0 but requires training and there is no map/tileset where I was not able to whiz across the open space.

 

Annoying herein is that flying to high make you respawn on your last location.

 

I wouldn't mind to make flying easier based on energy drain for distance traveled. But the status quo works too.

DE has been ignoring this for too long, it would make Zephyr 100% more fun if this happens,

I hope they go away with this. It's fine for pits that we fall in, but as for heights, just put an invisible wal..ceiling.

No we do not want Tail Wind to do this. Tail Wind is very useful as is. We want Dive Bomb to be folded into TW and then get a new ability to fly.

 

Completely selfishly, I don't want it to be a toggle, either, because I don't want to have to try to fit Flow into my builds, so all based on duration. You should be watching your ability timers for Zephyr anyway.

 

Strength would be a speed increase. That's what it does for Jet Stream and Speed; it would be counterintuitive not to do likewise here.

I actually like tailwind though....maybe because I use it to pretend i'm a bomberplane using kulstar to rain fiery death upon my enemies.  It's decent for traveling large gaps too.

personally, i'm fine with her kit as is. i'm completely content to be able to tailwind in any direction and NOT have it convert into divebomb for aiming down.

 

93.6m affinity on her. she's honestly pretty fine as is.
