Invalid Target for Mystic Fortune?

Posted

I am trying to buff my friend with Mystic Fortune, and can't. I can use my Aid Other on him, but not Mystic Fortune. I'm a hero, he's a vigilante, but that shouldn't make a difference.

Something I'm missing here?



I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.

Can't read the fortune of someone who has already had their fortune read.

Does he already have it on him? If so it's working as intended, it cannot be reapplied until the first one wears off now, since i18 (handy on teams).

If not it's a bug. Does he have the Mutant self-buff on him, that could be the bug if the system thinks they are the same buff.

They made a change where you can not double cast MF if target already has it. I think they should handle it better than showing "invalid target" IMO.

Yeah this confused me the other day too. They ought to give us a more direct message like "Target already affected by Mystic Fortune" instead of "Invalid Target". Just saying invalid target led me to believe there was something -buggy- going on.

Well, OTOH, I think "invalid target" is handling it better than popping up an annoying prompt on somebody's screen to accept a buff that they already have.

That's one nice thing that I like about Vanden and Corva's icon packs. The Fortune buffs are in a distinctive color so it makes it easier to see who already has one. Just be careful it it's the to-hit one because Secondary Mutation also uses that icon.

I'd agree that a text warning in the chat screen is better than the old pop-up.
I think we're just suggesting making the words used in that message a bit more meaningful and/or less generic.
