Ooooh no, the horror, I've had my recharge/damage resistance/defense/recovery/damage buffed, and the effect didn't even show up all the time, the whole thing was over dramatic. I just didn't get it I guess.
I prefered it without the prompt, it was so easy for teams to buff themselves up, even mid combat, still even with a prompt, no hard feelings.
But as people point out, the devs can never please the customers 
, so we are how having extra code written into the game to 'Customize' said prompt. I don't know, to me, it just seems like a waist of code and labour.

By the way, so what if more than 50% didn't notice the prompt? If, say, 49% of people noticed the prompt, then that's a much bigger majority that we have on most issues here.

Indeed, the omission of the letter "t" cracked me up. It adds a whole new outlook on the title.

By the way, has anyone actually noticed what the patch notes say about this, or what they hint at regarding Mystic Fortune in general?

Mystic Fortune may have killed the OP's wife, but at least he was wearing a neat costume when he did it.
(N.B. This may be less amusing to those who don't play on Liberty and/or frequent costume-related forum topics.)

EDIT: Sometimes it seems like the smaller the issue, the more violent the 'mood swings' on it. As for me, meh, prompt, no prompt, whatever.

You ever see that web "game" where the button keeps moving so people can't click it?
Oh and you forgot the initial installation of the prompt which people must have wanted removed.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

I'm surprised more people aren't annoyed by this issue and are instead continuing the pointless debate about the prompt itself. Oh wait, I'm not.|

This whole rooting animation when accepting the buff issue needs to be fixed...preferably soon. And preferably, but not necessarily, with the prompt matter solved with a dialog that can be set to 'auto-accept'.

Castle, you should know by now. . . There is NO pleasing us.
Both options can cause something to happen against your will. The division is over which thing is more undesirable, and is being debated strictly between people who consider either effect (or, in some cases, both effects) notably obnoxious. There are two ways to win: either go to the additional trouble of making everyone able to set things up just as they like (and contemplate the possibility that this will be demanded for every ally buff ability), or categorize both groups as the sort of customers who are excessively difficult to please.
(Full disclosure: I don't consider either effect notably obnoxious and am frankly astounded by the level of distemper on display.)

Would it be easy to add a checkmark at the bottom of the dialog for an "Always accept Mystic Fortune buffs" option? Similar to the delete salvage/recipe dialogs, among others.|

That way, the people who don't care about declining buffs can get them automatically, and the ones that like the prompt never have to tick it.

Wonder if this is intended? Has anyobe seen todays patch notes? |

How about keeping the prompt, and once people have clicked yes/no, another prompt shows up and asks "Are you sure? (yes/no)"? Answering "no" at this prompt would bring up the first prompt again.
Alternatively, adding a setting where we could choose if we get the prompt or not would probably make most people happy.

Each buff in game and going forward needs it's own enable or disable option listed in the Options Menu.

I think you will find that the complaint from this particular thread (or at least the OP's) is different from anything involving the prompt. It's the rooting animation of receiving the buff that's causing issues. There is also the griefing potential of someone buffing you while you are running for your life from some very dangerous enemies. Now you not only have to deal with clicking yes or no (or even just hitting a bind), but if you choose yes you will be locked into a possibly fatal 3-5 second animation.

Is there an option to NOT have it prompt in settings somewhere?
I soooooo like it to not have it prompt.

Why can we not have an option to set to enable the prompt or disable it, and thus accept the buff? That way it would be the best of both worlds, and if people wanted the prompt, they'd just not disable that option (like for accepting TP, the dialog box when entering Pocket D, etc).
I really disliked having that pop up in combat and obstruct the action, and I ended up having to ignore it as much as possible, or get killed while fumbling to click it.

I actually want WAY more prompts. I want to be prompted when some jerkwad wants to give me Speed Boost or Adrenaline Boost WITHOUT ASKING! I want to be prompted when some inconsiderate rad defender tries to accelerate my metabolism without even checking to see if I like my metabolism right where it is. Don't force field defenders realize how ugly those bubbles look on my toons!? I want to be prompted so I don't look all stupid covered in bubbles, or have my fire-based toons covered in a lame ice suit, or my ice characters surrounded by silly little spinning fire rocks. I want to be prompted when some dead teammate causes me to have a flashing light on my head! I don't want no flashing light on my head! And I want prompts to protect me from my own stupidity, like when I foolishly hit a self-heal or something; I want the game to prompt me and make sure that I really wanted to do that. You shouldn't be allowed to mess with your hit points without at least being warned.
We need moar prompts!
