What's the use of levitation?

Hey people*,

I'm currently learning Levitation because it sounds cool and all the other skills take days to learn. But I have no idea what the use for this skill is. When do you use it?

* I started out with "hey guys", but with all the QUILTBAGGING going on these days I'm afraid it will rub someone the wrong way and I don't want to create another shitfest**...
** is that inaproppriate too? I'm so confused! :(

  • It's for those times you don't have spinach handy with you. :)

  • It's also very fun for parties and conga lines!

  • For reaching high places. Works nicely in Plexus. Also, some players like to leave items in very hard to reach places that can only be accessed via spinach or levitation.
    For milking butterflies that fly too high.
    And yuh, when you don't have spinach with you.

  • It doesn't ever work for me. Am I doing something wrong?

  • To levitate you press space bar very quickly over and over again and unlike spinach you can use arrow keys to direct your jumps. It is very handy!

  • I didn't know how to it either until I asked in chat... you keep hitting space after imagining levitation with your orb.

  • "Hey guys" isn't likely to be offensive because anyone, male, female, or otherwise, can determine whether or not they identify as one of the "guys." It's not like you said "HEY EVERYONE WITH A PENIS" or anything.

    "Shitfest" is most likely not inappropriate, per se, but it does almost sound like you're equating "QUILTBAGGING" to over-reacting and/or drama (i.e. creating a "shitfest"), which I must argue it is not. Not unless you don't take things like discrimination seriously.

    Then again, those are simply personal observations that, although intended to be objective, could also easily be subjective. Personally, I appreciate you not wanting to "rub someone the wrong way."

    And as for the actual skill, everyone's pretty much explained it, though no one has mentioned that it costs 20 energy to use, whereas spinash can be obtained relatively easily, as well. Especially if you know where to look (*cough*thetower*cough*).

  • I have levitation skill, but I've never managed to do it. Yep, used the spacebar, next I'll try tapping it rapidly, thanks Purple.
    (btw Victoria, "shitfest" gave me a giggle, don't worry about using it. ^,^ Also, I don't mind being included in "guys", we always used the term. Now, dude? Not so much, lol)

  • Oh excellent glad to see an explanation of how to Levitate. I learned it during the last test but never figured out how it worked. Good to know!

    @PurpleLogic: I'm pretty sure my arrow keys always work for Spinach. I'll have to confirm once the game opens later today.

  • I also never knew until last test. I learned it EONS ago and tried it twice and couldn't figure it out and then forgot. Because of this thread, I finally did it.

  • Levitate would be more useful if you took falling damage in the form of mood.

  • It is, of course, for hopping around the sky in conga lines :)

  • I tend to use "folks" instead of "guys." That way I don't exclude anybody even inadvertently.

  • Lev is next up in my learning queue. Soon as game opens.

    P.S.  Anyone feel like rubbing me the *right* way?  Bwahaha >:)

  • Ahh, I've been meaning to ask about how to get the levitation to work. there's mothing ingame to tell you - although I hadn't got round to asking or looking it up. Too busy with other stuff! There's one mission for me then this test - to make levitation work...
    Thanks :)

    p.s. Sounds like they could use a short quest to give players chance to learn how to do it.

  • Levitation should be unnecessary in Plexus, but due to a bug, you might need to use spinach first, and then try jumping repeatedly there in order to levitate.

  • I think a short test for all skills would be a great improvement on how we learn to use them.  Flunk the test and you can't use skill to you pass.  But then again I flunk easy so have to reconsider this option.

  • Now I'm imagining if you did yell "HEY EVERYONE WITH A PENIS" in a room.  I'm betting you'd get everyone's attention, instead of just the people with a penis.
