When I went to see if the controller did the same thing, I used classic. MM used new. (Or the other way around - just remember one used one, one used the other.)

I seem to be running into an issue with selecting pets via pet window as a Mastermind. (This does not affect teammates in either classic or new team windows. Just pets.)

Essentially, the pet window ignores my clicks if I'm on the bottom half of a pet's entry in that window. Given I tend to use that once I have a few pets to do things like, oh, heal them -it's a bit of a problem.

I tested this on two systems, and it behaved the same way. (I've got custom cursors on one - from the 'lost cursors' thread - but not on the other, and I wanted to make sure they weren't what the issue was.)

So, if I'm looking at a pet window, the area that's highlighted in green below is the only one that'll actually respond and let me select a pet:

[Pets......................]
|
[-------------------]
[Zombie Ted..]
[-------------------]
|
[-------------------]
[Undead Fred..]
[-------------------]

(etc. Of course, it'd also be the top half of the pet name, too.)

I'd started wondering if I had some sort of odd lag, since I was losing pets and healing the wrong ones when I'd turned to select a new one, until I saw what it was doing.

Edit: Seems the same holds true for Controller pets, but given there's (usually) only one to watch and they're not as key to most controllers, it wasn't really noticable to me (it's easier to click on a single pet versus using the pets window to select from multiples.)

Just to clarify the process:

1. New email.
2. Put global in the recipient address.

When you select who to send it to, don't pick a character name, but the global. Say @COHDude has ten characters, and wants to send 5000000 INF from Blaster Bob to Controller Carol.

If he addresses it to Controller Carol, it'll fail. (You won't lose the INF, it'll give you a warning instead.) Instead, in the "to" field, he puts his own global, @COHDude.

3. Fill in anything for the subject.

I don't recall it autofilling for INF, but for enhancements and recipes it will. You can override this and put your own in, of course. Everything needs a subject.

4. Put anything in the body.

If you have nothing in the body, it just won't send. Even an "X" will do, but if I'm sending stuff to myself, I'll often jot down which character I want ti to go to ("For Controller Carol.")

5. Send!


Now, if @COHDude logs off Blaster Bob and hops on Dasterdly Dom Don, he'll still see the INF he sent - it's visible to (and claimable on) every character. He finishes his dom, heads over to Controller Carol. Y ou'll see a mini window that says "5000000 INF," with a "Claim" beneath it - grab it. (You may need to stretch it so you don't accidentally hit the "Report as spammer" button. UI issue.)

Cap au Diable, north of the entrance to BB you'll see the Crucible.

Move the "what I'd do" to issue 22, since issue 21's at least as half-baked already as this one... so with that somewhat better timeframe:

- Arcs and a TF exploring Dark Astoria. (Two TFs, actually, the second higher one exploring a cycle of lightening and darkening of the area over the years.)

- Beginning a Shard revamp by putting content in the Firebase Zulu zone. We have Incarnates - their stuff comes a little later (issue 23, next zone over, starting to face Incarnate-level threats.)

- Villainside Shard instances dealing with Darrin Wade's plans - arcs and at least one TF, preferrably two, with a good level spread (and the second one, again, being "use that incarnate level power on something other than Tyrant's dancing girls.")

- Arcs starting to backtrace the Shivans and dealing with detecting the CS.

- Delete any and all reference to "Dr. Mindstorm or whatever his name is is the reason for power proliferation!" including that stupid cutscene VEATs get.

Well, some friends and I run a little group of Elec/Elecs and the END drain is most certainly noticable in PVE. Plus you do have a good bit of control going on in there - I'd call it still viable. Though if I were starting that same quartet today, I'd mix Elec control in with the Elec blasters, yes.

And if you have hover, you've got a great place for a -KB IO, too!

Working for me. Which server? what powers/powersets? IN a mission, in one of the new trials/tfs, outdoors? Specifics help.

yeah, random is just that.

Had two drop (one each on two different characters) in the last month. Hadn't seen one for months before that. If I've had ten total actual drops since they came out, I'd be surprised.

I don't buy Voodoogirl's "it costs money." It's shuffling data. If it were so horrendous, I don't think we'd have had them as a monthlong "perk" not that long ago.

Flipside, though, "you pay for a service" - go read the EULA. Service is not guaranteed. Things go down. While it's not untoward to *ask* for something in return for missing service, they're not obligated to do anything at all. I wouldn't call it a big issue (and yes, I have multiple pages of slots on many servers, so yes it would potentially affect me.)

NPCs can't one-shot players. Any time you die from one "hit," you're getting hit with two separate "blasts" of damage.

To prove this to yourself, get two players - one good tank (to clean out everything but one of the Rikti in a spawn) and one level 1 anything.

Find a Headman Gunman. Set the level 1 into rest. Make sure nothing else is shooting. Let the Gunman take a shot. The level 1 will survive getting hit (with 1 HP.)

Why?



Just one type of damage (Energy, in this case. Also note the max HP on the right - compare to the damage on the left.)

Now, heal that level 1 up to full health. Find something else (I used a mezmerist - don't let him land a hold, etc. instead.) Do the same thing. The level 1 will die in one attack. Why?



One attack, but two "shots" of damage, Lethal and Energy.

/signed, though not per account. There are some characters I just don't want attention drawn to, that I'll use when I just want to solo.

But yeah. If people are just using it for "oooh, pretty colors," well, it's not helping.
