Faster Airspout/Waterspout

Moonelight · Mar 5, 2015

The post is pretty basic, just a warning.

So, in the show I know we have seen Korra and many other people use airspouts & waterspouts and move at a very high speed, right? Well, in my opinion the spouts in the plugin are a bit of a nerfed version of what it should be.

I'm recommending we can change the speeds/or just change the default in general. It needs to be slightly faster, not by a lot. But just enough to where we can actually feel like we're in a action packed area for the moment.

That was basically it, I guess. Here's some gif's with proof of a high speed Airspout/Waterspout.
Also, even if it was just a way where we could get a short boost in the spout that would be great. (Combos too?)

Air Spout at high speeds:

Water (&Air) Spout at high speeds:

I know there will be some people who say "She was in the Avatar State!" Well, she did enter it, but as soon as Kuvira fires the cannon, Korra is out of the Avatar State. Therefor she didnt use the Avatar State to boost her spout. Even the 3rd Gif shows Korra out of the AS using airspout at highspeeds.

P.S. An idea for a combo: Do some sort of combination to boost your spout for a short period of time?

Thanks.

I know you can press CTRL to speed up your spout, but that's by nothing...

What about just sprinting INSIDE the waterspout/airspout?

I guess a configuration option for spout speeds would be approperiate.mif their speed would get a normal default buff in speed, I'd like it to be slow again when on slots other than the spout's so it's not too overpowered.

It's not a bad idea, I guess I just didn't think of it.

Yeah, I suggested that in the original post.

Yes, like shifting or pressing the sprint button to go harder would be cool. It would add more nice strategy etc. to these boring water bender spout fights ._. also, airspout isn't used much now by airbenders, well it is, but only by (nooby?) benders camping on those spouts and shooting airswipes.

Sometimes avatars use airspout *hint hint* xD

The sprint idea seems the most reasonable, but I dont know if you are even able to begin sprinting in mid air. You might have to use the Ctrl button.

XD In creative mode, when flying you can click the ctrl button to sprint in air.

There was a point where you could use waterspout's water to fastswim. It was amazing and I still wonder why it was removed/fixed. I can already see the argument of people saying stuff like "Umg u fq, watr shuld just use watrwave." Which in my mind makes sense, but that takes too long. Not to mention you drop out of your spout whenever you select a source for waterwave.

Air doesn't even have waterwave. The closest it has is airstream, which is used on other people.

I like the idea of shifting while in spout to receive a quick burst of speed for an extended period. This will add another level of intensity to spout fights for air & water. I'm not expecting much though. Mainly some random addon and nothing in the core. As they had to "fix"/remove this "issue" some time ago. Best thing they ever did smh. sarcasm.

Airscooter works wonders whenever I use just air. That and tornado and the addon move airglide and a recently added move with the name of flight. Any of these work for travel.

Shift (default sneak) is used to go down with both airspout and water spout so to go faster you'd have to decrease your altitude, which in regards to this:

Is probably the reason it got removed. I like the idea of this:

Being used.

I feel as though airspout should be faster then waterspout.
And if not by default there should be a config option.

Airspout and waterspout were equally matched in speed.

It's just my personal opinion, I would want the config option to make it faster, Doesn't make sense why a waterbender would be equal to the "fastest element".
It wouldn't be a large difference though.

I little combo for this wouldn't hurt anyone I guess

Agreed.

Yeah water and air spouts are slow.

TheBlueSenpai · Aug 29, 2015

Good idea, it was shown in the show and it should be.
