List of bugs in i16

The persistent chain lightning that doesn't dissipate on it's own, from Hamidon's blue mitos, has returned.

* Prestige Power Slide uses the running animation half the time

* Air Superiority is no longer stopping fliers from flying. They knock up and fly away.

* Map servered opening aluminum garage door in mission (freedom) when I logged back in, it was not the correct character, but had both my entire chat windows intact.

* teaming with someone of the SAME LEVEL on a mission of the same level, Side kicks you to one level lower. The original description said it would sk people that were not the same level. Plus, it conflicts with the spirit of Leveling Pact, when you are teamed with them, and they are forced one level lower because it is your mission. You should be able to have another option other than SK or die! er.. I mean Quit.

Forced super SKing is the only thing I don't like in i16. In fact, I hate about anything that is forced on me.

It appears that the never-ending chain lightning from the Blue Hamidon Mito blasts may be back. Or it may be only back for one reuse of that same effect from a different mob.

One of the Rikti War Riders in the Lady Grey Task Force, Famine, uses this attack. Once my LGTF team was hit by it, it lasted for the rest of the map on which Famine appears.

When going through elevators, my pets will sometimes not follow correctly. Using Recall Friend to bring them to my location does not work, as they teleport in and then run back to where they were, straight through the walls. Going back through the elevator can sometimes fix the situation, but the only reliable "fix" I've found is to dismiss the bugged pets and resummon.

Just logged in as my 50 again, and checked the Most Recent badges tab and Force of Nature was there, so logging and/or zoning fixes the problem.

Snap Shot doesn't animate properly for defenders with TA/Archery.

Tanker Ice Melee/Ice Sword has a weird animation artifact on the sword that juts out at a 90 degree angle from the hilt on occasion, when you select the Ice Sword power customization.

Theres usually a impact when more polys are added to any mesh or angular meshes are smoothed out (at least what I've noticed from my work in blender, 3DsMax and, Lightwave)

However I also forgot this is CoH and its minimum requirements for a great gameplay experience is practically the same as it was original launch. (Which is just awesome btw)

But I have noticed something else too, the 3 month Veteran reward (Trenchcoats) No matter what emote you might use for sitting the coat always hangs in mid-air about waist high. I've seen capes actually collide with objects and drape when sitting but the trenchcoat does not. (does this on ledgesit and sitstool or is it stoolsit i dunno) I have yet to test other sits on objects to see if it does the same thing for all of them.

Crouch drapes properly. or mebby its just draping the same way but since my waist is lower to the ground its not appearing to "float"
(and BaBs, the broke the forum comment was about the Large images that broke the stylesheet in that area stretching out the forums beyond thier settings, hence "broke the forums" )

I found what looks like a fairly serious animation bug. You know how you get a different knockback animation while flying that has you spin in the air but not drop back to the ground? That is no longer playing when I'm near the ground. Instead, while I'm hovering at ground level, I get knocked flat on my back as though I were standing on the ground.

Please tell me this is a bug. If I'm still not "on the ground" enough for me to use ground-only powers (like Burn) I shouldn't be getting knocked down as though I were standing on the ground, right?

I switched my Stalker's spines from original to Metal Spikes and on leaving the tailor I noticed that it used the thorns geometry.
Returning to the tailor it showed me that I had correctly chosen Metal Spikes, but they still show up as colour tinted thorns in-game...

cardtrick does the same thing on the normal male body types. it floats out way in front of the character.

I just crashed accessing WW... I wish that would get hit with a serious optimization, every time I access one of the WW employees (or the BlackMarket Redside) My harddrive takes a field trip and goes nuts, the game freezes and stays froze until it either crashes or loads up the market window.

Zoning related since i16 patch:
1. Loading into zones from our base, and back out of an AE mission can cause the client to freeze. Not always, but 3 locks today, from each. All on the CoV side
2. MM pets are indeed coming through the portals into new zones (like through a ferry) but sometimes they load in a sort of default configuration. They follow the character, but accept no commands, are renamed back to the default names, cannot be dismissed etc... re-zoning fixes this maybe 50% of the time. When it doesn't you need to log out and back in to removed the uncontrolled pets. Either happens to all the pets or none at all.

AE related:
1. missions are having issues with goals. For instance I have a mission with a boss, a patrol, a captive, a collection and defeat all. Currently you can only free the captive most of the time. In 16+ runs of the same mission the boss only spawned twice, the collection appeared once but was unable to be collected, the patrol only actually patrolled in one mish and the captive appeared 2ce, once simple took off like a rocket after being freed, and once stood there.... and stood....
Note, I would not noramlly run any mission that much but it really bugged me that it wouldn't work, I changede maps, bosses, removed all the goals down to kill the boss and still only had him show up once.
