No. And since you complained about it they are going to take those powers out of the game with I15.
I kid, I kid! I never noticed the mixup myself - I usually just throw them both on the same NPC and then wait for them to recharge when someone on my team goes, "Ooooo, sparkly!" *Smash* *Blast* *Slash* "Aw, sparkly all gone."

It took me 5 years to notice the mix up myself. I just noticed it today and my main is a rad defender. I was making a corruptor, and was reading the descriptions of the powers and looking at the icons, and going huh? something is odd here.
Wow I should play the game this tired more often I actually notice things more.

Is it me, or have the Power Icons for Rad infection and Enervating field mixed up? Rad does the -tohit and -defense but has a -dam icon on it, and EF does -dam and -damres and it has the -def/acc icon on it... its rather funny cuz I been playing this game since launch and I just now noticed... its probably been mentioned before I am sure.

I've noticed it too. it has been pointed out to me that it is due to my having Vanden's Icon pack installed. I believe this to be the case, as I did a fresh install on a different machine and the Icons were correct.

Vanden's Icon pack fixes it:
[ QUOTE ]
Radiation Emission/Radiation Infection and Radiation Emission/Enervating Field icons swapped (they erroneously described each other's effects rather than their own)
RadiationPoisoning_RadiationInfection.texture
RadiationPoisoning_EnervatingField.texture

Yeah, Vanden's works.
I still wish the devs would take a hint from that pack and start fixing these things though really. Don't you?
I don't like some of his replacements, but that's probably because I've become accustomed to some of the "incorrect" icons that the replacements just don't feel right.
The EF/RI fix is pretty nice, though, even if I did get used to the wrong versions with them, too.

Just to point it out, Detention Field's icon indicates that it provides an Energy Shield (originally Insulation Shield only protected from heat and cold, and "Refraction Shield" was the energy version) and Telekinesis has the icon for flying. (originally it made a teammate fly)

I know, but I would end up deleting all of them except the RI/EF fix, so I don't bother with it at all.

Oh? Many of the changes are for the better. They display the powers as more accurate representations of what the powers actually do. There's still quite a few that are confusing and could be better, but that'd probably require new images entirely. There's a lot of inconsistency, like when a power has special attributes. For example, Crane Kick has the knockback so the icon shows that for some reason.
I can't imagine what kind of icon Knockout Blow SHOULD have. It's the highest damage in the set so you'd think it'd have the large burst icon. But it also has 100% hold and 100% knockup. It has the knockup icon, but that's not really the primary function of the power. If it were up to me it'd have the high damage starburst but that doesn't properly communicate the function of the power, so I don't know. It'd have to be something that shows all three of those things.

That's not my point. I'd delete all but those two because I'm used to the "wrong" ones and know what they are without having to study it. I can just glance at the icon and know what the power is to activate it without having to figure out if that is the one I want. Probably the largest offender to the "wrong" icon problem, other than RI/EF is Freezing Rain, except I recognize that icon as Freezing Rain, and changing it would confuse me for probably a week.
I'm just choosing to save myself time from deleting all the icons save for two, or saving myself a week of "relearning" what the icons are at a glance.
