While using scarab flight, i can interact with things such as entering the powerhouse, NPCs, attack and be attacked.

With Bat Flight, I can be attacked. I can not attack, interact with environment, NPCs nor can I enter the powerhouse while in bat flight form.

When I first realized this, I thought, "OK, It must be one of those powers were I can't be attacked since I can not attack or interact." This however is not the case.

I simply hate the fact I saved my Until points till I had enough to buy bat flight and now I regret it. Please, is there an ETA on a fix?

It's not a bug, That is the way that bat flight was intended to be used, and has been since the Become vampire device was released.

Where as I would like to see this changed as well, I wouldn't get your hope up on it.

where attached to the become vampire device that may make sense as part of balancing. When outside of it it doesn't.

So lets leave the device form the way it is but lets have the non-device one fixed especially as its one of the more expensive recognition travel powers at 40 Until recognition so should never be able to be considered significantly weaker and so less desirable than the cheaper ones.

^ this.

And sorry, but putting "this power doesn't allow you to use power" in the description isn't a fix, devs.

If they can have the cheaper Scarab flight do what everyone wants from Bat flight wouldn't that mean an easy fix is possible?

So finally i got my bat flight in the early hours of this morning. And i love the visuals and finally i can take my Elizabethan Vampiress The Sacrlet Pippistrelle out of the powerhouse with a travel power and got her to level 7 at long last.

Thing is, as cool as the visuals are i've just put 40 Until recognition into making a character that is more vulnerable. So i'm paying for the cool visuals twice, i'm paying for it first with all that recognition that is a whole order of magnitude higher than scarab flight.. it's something like 20 times more expensive than scarab flight isn't it? Then i'm paying a second time with all the hits i take before i can turn the power off and fight back.

Maybe there's some diabolical difficulty in the coding that somehow isn't there in scarab flight? If not then really it should be fixed for balance and fairness purposes not to mention to make the higher-end purchases as attractive as they should be.

At least make me less vulnerable and able to open doors while powered if you can't let me attack.

I'm not looking forward to alerts with the character that's for sure! And that shouldn't be the case with a prestige purchase.

Bat flight isn't meant to be used in combat, its mostly aesthetic for getting from place to place.

Not sure why they allowed scarab flight to allow power use since it should fall under the same category.

In any case, I wouldn't expect a change to this either way any time in the near future, unfortunately.

Hey i'm all for it working like tunelling and making us untargetable while in flight instead as an alternative option. I just would like it to stop being a disavantage to use as it is now.

We are paying heaps for that aesthetic.

We are paying in being extra vulnerable in being able to be hurt but not hurt back till we turn off the power.

We are paying with the delay in ability to respond to the enemy while we try and drop to ground level while being damaged so that we can turn off the power and then strike back.

We are paying with the damage we take from falling while being damaged by the enemy if we turn the power off in mid flight in order to support our team-mates and start hitting the enemy back imediately.

We are paying in the extra time it takes us in alerts where we must turn the power on and off again far more than most TPs.

We are paying a huge 40 Until recognition.

Now how much is scarab flight again? How many times more expensive is bat flight than scarab flight? Are the visuals of scarab flight really so inferior as to make it need to be that many times cheaper AND superior in game abaility too?

Sure it might be unlikely that they will rectify this, but if it's just a single bit of code they could copy-paste across from scarab flight to bat flight or from tunelling to bat flight then its worth a try in trying to get it fixed.

I can't understand why this TP is limited unlike any other flight power. Really.
This is anti intuitive and plain ********.
Though i can't agree with calling bat flight an "expensive" power.
UNTIL recog is easiest to farm. Much more easier than recognition of any other tier.
In fact, because of that bat flight is easiest to buy of all recog TP - if you can farm UNTIL recog.

I definitely wouldn't call it expensive - I'm sitting on over 350 until recog and have everything that until recog can buy, in all tiers (since it converts to everything but silver champs) unless something new was added.

Silver recog on the other hand is a lot more of a pain to acquire.
