Everyone knows flying is overrated. Ground based travel is way cooler. So, how do YOU move around when grounded?
Most of the time I walk around casually, moving one leg in front of the other. Very relaxing.

Most of the time I walk around casually, moving one leg in front of the other. Very relaxing.
One very pronounced element of me attaining lucidity is that I suddenly have full awareness of the movement of my legs, the impact of my feet on the ground, etc, which is rare for my non-lucid dreams.
I've once driven and once been a car passenger, being a passenger and having a DC drive me while I looked at the scenery is perhaps the most relaxing things I've done in LDing.
Not true at all :P Flying and hovering is much cooler.
Anyway... i don't see how can you walk differently... When i'm on the ground i just walk like in real life...
I enjoy walking around in Lucids, since I am amble to take in more detail and scenery. Sometimes, I will hover a few feet off the ground in a lotus position.
Also, I'd take the Speed/Leaping set over the Flying set any day of the week. Flight makes you slow and vulnerable to -Fly effects. But Super Speed + Combat Jumping lets you kite very effectively and prevents immobilize fairly well.
Flight is really only useful for concept characters or to complement TP.
It's just straight numbers. There's no reason to slot for flight speed when you can hit much higher base speeds with the other two powers. This is especially true now that everyone gets the fitness set automagically.
I'd pull up Mids (or the new equivalent; I've been out of the grind for awhile now) to get the exact numbers, but I don't run Windows anymore.
Hmm. I think I've forgotten which forum I'm on.
I think that's been the running theme. XP
Edit: Found a good resource for ya.
I knew that you must be talking about some kind of game... but i didn't play that one... No matter what multiplay game i play, i tend to aim for having fun, so yes i don't care about the numbers. It's the same way in LDs for me... i do what i find the most fun way of doing so.
Yep.
You clearly lack imagination if the most exhilarating form of ground-based travel you can think of is walking.
Lol. I'm glad to see you don't mind being the the sounding board, Mzzkc.
How do I move while on the ground?
I prefer to run ...
Vehicles are ok... off-roading ones are fun.

Not to support Mzzkc, as he doesn't require it XP but running and kiting is more effective than flying. Maybe not for EVERYONE as I'm sure there are some who have perfected flight abilities over ground-based methods... but I just assume those are more advanced dreamers. Generally flying does have that issue of control and slowness that takes a bit more effort to overcome than running/kiting.
About half the time in my lucids or just dreams for that matter, I'm on the ground. Flying is ok, but I like things up close. Usually, I don't walk. I just kind skim over the ground, if you know what I mean. Not moving my legs or anything, but not hovering. Kinda like sliding on ice. :3
In terms of what?
Straight up time control is a decent way to counterbalance the issues with flight. Personally, I use skips and flash steps to in combination with teleportation techniques to gain the advantage unpredictable speed can give you.
The nice thing is all of those work on the ground, too. Which means even if they manage to ground you, you're not helpless.

Dilation on the other hand just makes things last longer and tends to leave you with a nasty headache.
