Same thing here. I never had a problem with Quantum flight.Seems the last 4 missions I used it in, I had the same results as the rest of you. This has only been since the new I7 release. At this point in time it is a useless power.I also believe they need to look into it.
I believe our children are our future and I reflect on the lessons and values we taught them.
I believe the world has many real Villains,what we need are more Heroes.

You can be attacked while phase is active, just not hurt. I've stood in the near dead centre of Hamidon with phase active and he continues to fire constantly at me but i dont get hurt. Ofcourse i didnt wait till i was inside him before i activated it.
The most useful thing about it i think is that it allows you to run through an enemy, like when your escaping and a mob is stuck in one of those narrow doors. I think that this power was meant to be used in this way, when the team gets wiped one should be able to run to safety so the team may be tp'd and rez'd without having to go to the hospital.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that a couple of the AVs have the ability to hit a phase shifted enemy. Afterall it is possible for the base defences to do it now so its not impossible from a coding side like it used to be.

We haven't given this ability to any AV's or GM's.

Just out of curiosity, doesn't this kinda mean you can turn the Forced Phase Shift powers into toggles?

Well, phase was neutered quite a while back. Since fewer people are taking it (it being mostly pointless) I can see it getting broken and nobody noticing.
Wait, did _Castle_ just tell us there is a power that makes us immune to the GMs?
I think he means giant monsters... 
Tho, thinking about it, I guess we are all pretty much immune to GMs. It's a new inherent I7 ability called "Understaffed" that forces us to wait hour after hour for help in completing bugged missions.
i was in phase shift last night for at least 10 seconds, and i was PvPin and someone blinded me and i was held. I though PS is suppose to NOT let anyone hit you

SHOWTIME - You guys are like my family!
Not only does PS take a few seconds to activate (you can die during that time), but also if they hit you with DoT that is big enough it will kill you while phased. I have a feeling you are the victim of poor timing and/or lag.
Another question. Did you have on that share damage thing that MM's have now? I am not sure how it works, but maybe that could have done it...

Wow, you're lucky. I have to wait 2 days before they tell me that they havn't heard from me & they will assume the problem is fixed. 
As for the thing with Body Guard I think it's a 1 way thing. Where if the pets take damage u don't take any.
Also in PS you are cut off from the bots. So even if u did share their damage it wouldn't matter.
There again, I am also referring to PVP in RV. A sig hero hit through an already placed Phase. It was on before I encounterd the hero and still on after I took damage. I got hit (nearest to my recollection, 2 times with that application of phase.

I was reading the Prima guide the other day (nice that it's "free", but how exactly am I supposed to print that thing out? It's edge to edge full color that's illegible on an inkjet in color, and worse on a laser in b&w -- but I digress) and it says something interesting in phase shift:
"100% intangible of strength 3; 100% untouchable of strength 3"
Hmmm... strength? Like a MAG level? So that says to me than any foes that have powers with an intangible or untouchable level of -4 or higher would, in theory, punch right thru phase shift, no? And since _Castle_ has said that AVs/GMs weren't given this ability I'd say it's a BUG.
Perhaps Positron or _Castle_ could put aside working on the newly discovered "double domination" exploit (y'know, an oversight that gives players an unintended advantage), and work on fixing this unintended oversight...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Had you all there, didn't I!!! Put aside working on an advantageous exploit... hehehehehehe... to fix a bug that basically makes a staple power useless... HAHAHAHAHAHA... OMG I just SLAY me sometimes...
What's the point of Phase Shift? When I first saw it, I thought it might be cool to play a character with Phase Shift, but it just sounds like it's not very useful. It sounds like it's hard to get active and then doesn't stay active very long.
Is it useful for something I'm not thinking of? What do those of you who have it use it for?

Before it was nerfed into complete uselessness it used to be a pretty cool power. You could basically go anywhere and not worry about ever being attacked. Of course the downside is that you can't do much either. With the advent of PvP it got time capped and supressed, blah blah blah, so now, yeah it's pretty useless as anything other than an "oh crap" power -- provided you can get it running before all the queued attacks kill you, AND you can get away in less than 30 seconds.
In the 2 years I've been playing this game I think I've only had PS on one toon out of dozens I've made -- and that was quantum flight on my Peacebringer. And I dumped it fast after they nerfed it. Why would I want a fly/phase power I can only use for about 1 minute at a time? How far can you actually get in a minute??
But this is pretty par for the course. Just about every power that was once "cool" has been nerfed into uselessness.

You said you got knocked back and had your toggles turned off. I assume that also includes phase shift. Is it possible she did a 1-2 punch? Hit you with something that detoggled you (turning off PS) then immediately hit again with another attack that killed you.
If the detoggle attack was queued by the system before your PS was, it would hit you, detoggle PS, and leave you vunerable to any damage from that attack and any follow up ones.
BUT... it would be interesting for further testing of this. I wouldn't be surprised if a bug is found regarding AV-class NPCs being able to hit thru PS. Hell, I did a mayhem mish last night and after my brute wound up in jail he was killed again by the mobs THRU THE JAIL DOOR. I went up to the door to attack it and was spanked in less than 5 seconds from the other side. If they can shoot thru reinforced doors, why not PS too?

In order to de-toggle, a hit must be made. Phase makes you unhittable suposedly.
