Psychic Mastery Telekinesis now has the 12 second forced Detoggle in PVP that other versions of this power have.

Haha, dang it, Ex!!
TANKS. DO. NOT. HAVE. PSY. MASTERY!!!!!! (this is sparta, yadda yadda)
This was pointed out in the training room version of these same patch notes weeks ago! XD
No, I'm not mad... just very amused! I wonder how many people are gonna respec their tanks looking to get the psi mastery pool only to find out it's not there?
I know i wasted my second build figuring that out >_>
Annyways, RE; Reformed badge. I think the Devs are making way for a "betrayer" badge or something. After all, I don't think a hero would be "redeemed" by beating up Longbow =P Alternately, they found a better use for the name or a better way to get it (day job time in a jail, perhaps?)
So, everyone cool down. Let's see their reasoning on this first.

Nice to see that massive and game breaking issues like that badge were given the attention they deserved instead of these things that are actually IMPORTANT...

Seriously, why are you wasting everyones time with a post like this? Isn't it PATENTLY OBVIOUS that those things must not be simple to fix?? Do you think the programmers sat down and said, "Hey, let's fix some dopey stuff instead of easy things that affect everyone."

Cause she has the right to express her opinion on the bugs that's been plaguing CoH lately. They should be given the priority, not if *gasps* some heroes can get villian badges or visa versa. My view anyway.

If we discuss the removal of the "Reformed" badge here, will we get any more feedback than we got in the Training Room?
[/ QUOTE ]
We are aware internally of the badgers concerns over the removal of this badge. However at this time the Developers are choosing to not comment. I'll keep you updated if I hear of any change in that determination.

Ex

aka - TY for your support and continuance of my paycheck...
Yw... I guess.
Sorry, but the lack of relevant comment from the Devs, or at least defensible comment in light of their actions that are counter the player interests, demands, etc - this is laughable.
More likely - makes me wonder why there isn't a /whereisKansasanyways? emote

why put out a patch the DAY before 2x weekend, most patches reuire a day or two sometime the "iron out" any un forseen problems. we only get 2 of these weekend a year and to do something just before that might mess it up is not preduent.
[/ QUOTE ]
/Agree
At the moment, it now seems unlikely that I will even be able to play on 2xp weekend, not because I won't have time available, but because the downloader, for at least a few people it seems, is borked. The updater is projecting about 80 more hours to complete the file download on my machine. Got a support ticket open and a thread in the Bugs forum, but had to drop in and agree with this. Patches often come with problems, problems are to be expected and dealt with. But this is a lousy time to have new problems.

[ QUOTE ]
I think the devs should at least have the guts to come here and stand up for their own decision. They're welcome to not change it over all the objections, but the silence in the face of all the questions is just rude.
[/ QUOTE ]
With all due respect, your $15 per month doesn't give you the right to demand explanations from the management. We were told of the change AND they confirmed it was not an error.
[/ QUOTE ]
Where did I mention my $15?
What I think does demand an answer is the overwhelming about of negative feedback on this issue.
[ QUOTE ]
It seems pretty obvious to me that this ties into some future development and their longstanding policy is to tell NOTHING about future developments too far in advance. I really think you should expect only silence on this.
[/ QUOTE ]
What does this have to do with future development? The only future-related aspect is speculation by some people. As I said elsewhere, the ability for a villain to get this when they switch sides is just as possible as it always has been - it's not changed, it's not relevant. What's at issue is a hero being told they can't get the badge for the same action as a villian - risk vs reward when killing longbow.
Looked high and low for the name builds. Not a selection at the trainer. Not in the Options menu. I ran a list of commands and no new ones that pertain to builds.
It could be that there's a command for it that didn't make the command list and I haven't guessed at yet. But I prefer the mystery to be resolved and be told how you name your builds.
I want to call one of my builds....

BUG ALERT!
Bruiser's Hand Clap was not changed to knockdown. It still does knockback. Toying around with the real numbers for the power shows that the mag scales by level, from 0.7 at level 1 to 1.74 at level 50. This means that, effectively, at all levels at which the Bruiser has access to Hand Clap, it will still cause knockback. The mag should be changed to a static 0.67 across all levels.
This behavior is noticeable in game as well as in the real numbers readout.

Anyone else getting atrocious download speeds for this patch?
I have nothing taking up my bandwidth and getting <2kb/s for an 80mb patch is ridiculous.

You are not alone. See This thread
EDIT : Or follow This link to the fix. Apparently you'll need to force the updater to access a different port from the default. The instructions were easy to follow, and it fixed the problem for me.

Ah thanks for pointing me to that thread. Changing the port did help, getting around 45kb/s now. 
This Live Patch has introduced more bugs than it has fixed.
Many of the items that were supposedly changed were not actually changed!
You've caused way more technical problems that you've solved.
Just in time for Double XP Weekend!
Brilliant!!!
Ex Libris, Castle, any word on getting Dark Miasma's Dark Servant power on Heroes to accept Accurate ToHit Debuff sets like the Villains have it?
I already sent a PM to you, Castle, and you did confirm that it was a mistake, a "Whoops", even. What happened between then and now?

Any news on why arena is down on Virtue? Does it have to do with the lag that is affecting that server only or something or did they really just break arena complete?
Double Xp has not even started yet and on Virtue i am experiencing with any of my characters ( blue and red side ):
1) Chat delay of about 2 seconds between typing and message showing in chat screen once sent.
2) Enemies are sometimes teleporting to me instead of running. Unusual lagspikes i only experienced during special events with full server.
3) Delay with powers showing recharged but still will not fire. Like good old Hami raids used to cause. But it happens now when i am alone in an instance mission. That is bad.
I am on cable modem and it is working just fine. Is anything wrong with the patch or your network?
I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Ghost Falcon has addressed the Virtue issue here.
Thought that might help shed some light on the situation.

Today's patch did something weird with the Day Jobs. I created a new character and right when she popped up in Atlas I got a notice that I was at my first day job location... even though I wasn't. I kept noticing a day job icon flash in my icon bar as I ran around. And when I switched to a villain I saw multiple day job icons appear at once. It didn't impact the game at all, but I just thought it was weird.

[/ QUOTE ]
No, we were told of the change almost two months after the fact by a line buried in the middle of a large patch note. This happened at least THREE YEARS after heroes started getting the badge and 1.5 years after the ability to get the badge became widespread without workarounds.
The error here was that whoever chose to change the status of this badge did so thinking that the players would meekly accept it. In your case, it appears they were right.

Then they should have the intestinal fortitude to post that this is for a future development. They know a portion of their customer base is upset with this, and instead of being open with the reasons they are hoping people will "just forget about it." They tried that with the Base changes during closed beta. That flew about as well as an anvil. Instead players got more and more upset to the point that someone -had- to respond. Even that response was not very warmly received.
I seem to be repeating myself a lot since the open beta: the developers need to be far more open with players.

QR: Frankly, I'm surprised and grateful that they said anything at all. We've debated this to death in both the Badges forum as well as the Training Room forum, and now Ex has weighed in on the situation.
At this point, further debate should be laid to rest and this thread should be left to discussion of the rest of the patch.

Nah. This matter should be brought to RL newspaper and they should put pressure. The truth will come out.
