    I am an EU player of the game.

    I got the error message "failed to rename C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\cohupdater.exe to C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\cohupdater.prv" when I tried to start the game. Then I realised that there simply is no file called 'cohupdater.exe' to rename in a pure EU installation of the game.

    My solution was simply to add a dummy file called 'cohupdater.exe' of size 0 MB to my installation directory in order to make the rename possible. After running cohupdater.eu.exe, the game started. I hope that this could solve the problem for other people here as well.

    Twilight grasp spawns a very short duration pet around the caster (if you hit your target) that will then hit you and all friendly targets within a radius with the heal. Apparently it will also hit you with the proc as well for some reason.

    Most things that spawn pseudo pets under the caster have procs bugged this way.

    Thank you for the clear explanation of how the power actually works. This was not obvious (at least not for me) from the in-game documentation of Twilight Grasp.

    However, the way the proc works now fits the personality of my fire/dark corruptor surprisingly well. The ability to once in a while give himself, or his teammates, a refreshing little dose of negative energy damage before a larger dose of healing could be translated into "No pain, no gain". I think I will keep the enhancement for now for this reason.

    I have slotted Touch of the Nictus: Chance for Negative Energy Damage into Twilight Grasp on my corruptor. Tonight I noticed that I got red numbers over my head when I used the power. A check in the combat log gave me several occurences of the following:

    "Twilight Grasp blasts you with his Touch of the Nictus: Chance for Negative Energy Damage for 71.33 points of negative energy damage!"

    Has anybody else experienced this? Have I misunderstood something or am I taking damage from my own proc? Is Twilight Grasp really a "he" and not an "it"?

    I bugged it, but I am curious about other people's experience from using this particular enhancement.
