yeah...cause toggling them back on takes sooooo much time. and i wouldn't exactly go around calling the devs lazy.
seemed like a question to me, and yes i do think these devs leave alot to be desired! and wheres the help? this is suppose to be the section where players help each other not suck up to the devs!
Oh, I'm sorry, were you looking for help? It looked to me like you were just implying absurd explanations for the fact that your pet-peeve bug hasn't been fixed yet, most likely - in the grand Internet tradition - by way of looking for a fight. My mistake!

This is caused by the server shards (zones) having different Server times. They are all supposed to be on UT, but sometimes after maintenance you'll find some have reverted to the server's zone time (Eastern or Pacific time for example).
it matters not which toon, for it happens to them all, at least for me. I go into a mish and toggles drop, i leave any mish my toggles drop, i go to ORO and my toggles drop, I leave oro and my toggles drop, it is quite maddening. i know this bug has been around for some time. Why wont the devs fix it? is it too hard of a bug to fix? are they too lazy? if a known bug has been around for years i would hope to get someone on it. i bug it everytime it happens for maybe the last 8 mo. and all i get is the same lame form letter back.this happens at least 4-5 times a day for me. Is there a cure?

When you zone, the game thinks you've been offline for the time difference, detoggles your powers as if you've been offline for that amount of time and even gives Patrol XP.
When I notice it I send in a petition with the "technical issue" button checked, and include the server times of the 2 zones (use /servertime to get the values) so the GM's can adjust the server's clocks.
(Note, I use /petition to get the GM's attention, not a /bug as those go to the game developers.)

Hrm... maybe they're fixing bugs that could potentially break the game, rather than bugs that are a minor annoyance? Couldn't really say, as I, and others who will post here, are players, not devs, or dev's bosses.

out of that whole post, thats all you got out of it? not very helpful are you? |
Despite that, I'll answer your question, mostly for anyone else who has this same problem, and would like to know the answer.
Is there a cure? No. But there is a quick fix. Binds. Or Macros, whichever you prefer.
Say you've got a Stone Tanker, and you want to have Mud Pots, and Rock Armor running 24/7. You can set up a bind that will toggle those powers on. Like so.
/bind t "powexec_toggleon Mud Pots$$powexec_toggleon Rock Armor"
So then, whenever you hit "t" then those powers will toggle on. If they're already toggled on, then nothing will happen. Of course you can change "t" to any other button. If you don't know the names of some of the keys like for your numpad, http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/List_of_Key_Names . So when you zone just hit the key you bind, and there you go.
Note: I've not actually tried combining multiple toggles into a single bind, so for the sake of animations/activation times on toggles, you may not be able to combine multiple toggles, or some might mesh together where others don't. If not, then you could set up multiple binds for each of your toggles. Best suggestion is to use the Numpad keys, but use what works best for you.
Downside : All your Toggles drop, plus your Fury bar empties.
Upside : All your powers recharge and your Health and End goes back to max I was very surprised the first time I SSed out a mission door at a tiny % of health and was fully healed when it loaded. Who needs Rest!

A single bind works, however they don't all turn on with a single keypress. You need to press the key once for each toggle and it will turn them on in order. Still ends up being quicker and easier than each button on a toolbar though.

This happened a few issues ago as well and they did fix it so I am sure they will again given enough time. It's a new issue there are always bugs that crop up.
