Which they SHOULD. That's their job. So just make future temp powers self buffs. Done. Next.|

Today we find out they arbitrarily deleted all of our global emails without warning. That's acting without thinking, and it frankly pisses me off. I prefer a little deliberation now and again.

Meh, why piss off half the player base just make 3 simple changes.
1) remove except prompt
2) add a (Do you really want to cast this prompt?) make the caster waste their time.
3) Nerf power to recharge time of 24 hours and duration to 15 seconds.

Indeed, why settle for pissing off only half of the playerbase when you can piss off everyone who paid $10 for the power?

I can live with the prompt (though I don't like it), the extra graphic is the pain, why does it play the MF casting animation when you receive a MF?

I think that the problem with making it a self buff is that it doesn't really fit with the idea behind the power.

For the record, I don't RP much and I'm running a Core 2 Duo 2.67GHz system(modestly overclocked) with 4GB RAM and a Geforce GTX 260.
I don't like Mystic Fortune on me when I don't want/need a buff. Or when I want to run a character vanilla(without buffs or inspirations) to gauge his/her performance. So the prompt simply makes sense to me. I'd also be happy with an option in the options menu to auto accept/reject.

Ah good. I was just about to report this bug, but I see it's known. |

...Kinda hard not to notice, actually...
I'm not here to make you laugh.

A very similar self-buff is coming with the Mutant Pack, called Secondary Mutation. Some people found it in the game already.

Slashman can't be expected to know, but...: I could actually support a self-buff...but it seems to thematically clash with having your fortune told by someone else. |
Dec out.
I can see/hear it so clearly sung by none other than Veruca Salt "I want buff click... i want a buffest...i want a buff click for all of the buffs... the mystic the speed boost and all the shields buffs and if i dont get it now im going to scream!!! ...I want the buff click for all of the pretties except for the clear mind the dev should know that by now or im going to screammmmmm"
come on people yea... lets pull the dev's off of important game changing stuffs(see GR) and have them fix a minor annoyance...learn to play and control or toons...or maybe after GR they can add a "how to control your toons with buffs section to the tutorial

That and it's not meant to your characters more powerful. It's meant to make your teams more powerful. It's something nice you can do for your teammates, friends you run into at WW or -- wait for it -- strangers you pass on the street.

This made me think that perhaps they could change it to you had your fortune read. I am sure someone can probably come up with a better way to phrase it.|

I like getting the fortune cast on me.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

I'd like to know how the Fortune buff is different from any other buff in the game.

It lasts 20 minutes of game time and doesn't go away until then even if you die or log off for three years.

Great idea. I didn't know about the "dialog_" command.

/bind y, dialog_yes /bind n, dialog_no Not a perfect solution, but they do help. |

I'll just say I was much happier when MF worked like every other buff in the game and you just had to shut your stupid face and deal with the buff.
It's not a big graphic or sound, it's pretty modest. But whatever, don't waste any more precious Dev hours on this non issue.
Even though it did **** my dog.

Still don't see the problem.
Edit: And you can got into your powers menu and delete it if you want.

As mentioned, why can't we have a proper resolution?|

We get one for Team Teleport, why not Mystic Fortune?
Option: Accept Mystic Fortune: Enabled/Disabled
Done. Yes, I realize this takes work.
Be well, people of CoH.

There was never a prompt. The system used to tell me "this post already exists" and it didn't do that now. I highly doubt it's been removed, too, so I wonder why it didn't trigger.

This is a test, right? I mean, if he stops listening to the players and does whatever he thinks he's right, there's someone already waiting to complain that he listened to you, right?|

I'm on to this game.
This why I keep telling Castle that what he should do is take his priorities from the lead designer, allocate resources and schedule time with the producers, listen to feedback from the players, discuss the plan with the powers team, and then just do whatever I say. Its simple, and its consistent.
