Issue 19: Alpha Strike Launch Patch Notes & Known Issues

My controller just permaheld him and ignored the one clone he managed to spawn. Haven't tried it on a defender yet.

If you pull him away from the lava room and back into the corridor, his clones seem to stay behind.

Yeah, I couldn't get Trappy to budge. All good now. Also, getting about a 50% rate of cooperative completes on this arc, which is pretty weird.

So, no Ouroboros flashback arcs for Praetorians that have already left Praetoria

I've also seen the "this account is currently logged in" issue (unless you're referring to something different that actually requires a password entry, you can generally just hit the login button when you get the error and pop right back in without re-entering the password) just about every time I used the Logout to Character Selection option. A minor annoyance compared to waiting out the countdown whilst unable to alt-tab etc, but I can cope. Still a great feature to finally have available.

Additional bugs found:

During Tin Mage this evening, 3 or 4 players were defeated by Bobcat, followed by Bobcat's defeat by the rest of the team moments later - less than 10-15 seconds from player defeats to AV defeat. The 4-5 members of the team who were alive got the Kitty's Got Claws badge, the defeated ones did not. This in particular annoyed me to no end because I had contributed to the entire fight with Neuron and Bobcat until she smacked me twice in rapid succession with 5k+ damage hits (on my blaster, apparently I managed to steal the aggro from the stone tank...indicates to me I was doing sufficient damage that I would feel my contribution to the kill was enough...apparently if you are dead when the kill happens, you're just outta luck. If this is WAI, I'm surprised and highly disappointed. I'm hoping this is a bug.

Second bug was also with Tin Mage - during the Director 11 fight, we apparently got mines and triggered them because we did not get the Midnight Dodger (?) badge - yet never did any of us see a single mine on the floor. Invisible mines? Also no warnings we could see (invisible warnings for invisible mines?)

Mind you, most of this same group of people ran Tin Mage a LOT (20-30ish times minimum) during beta testing without seeing any of these issues...once the "awards on only one person on team per TF run that qualified for the badge" bug was fixed with Kitty's Got Claws that is. We also never saw this invisible mines issue during beta. If anyone in QA/Development wants more info on exactly what we did during the TF so we can try to nail it down, please PM me and I will be happy to provide all the details I can - and round up any info my teammates can provide as well if desired.

Beyond these minor issues - great issue! I'm gonna be respeccing toons like crazy for the next week, but it's well worth it for inherent fitness (and fixing toons from side switching with GR and expanded powers in epics - I'm a little behind on respecs for the last few issues apparently )

I'm a big fan of this issue too. Even the "little" stuff. Quit to character select, merged transit lines... these are things you never knew you'd care about until you used them a couple times. I'm sure some players will start thinking of these features the same way as email attachments: how'd we ever get by without them?

Thanks for making a game that's still fun two years after I started playing!

Someone raised this in the Player Questions section too: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=245847

They've come up with two theories, first that it's due to having too many open arcs from a previous alignment. Their guess is that, even though you can't see contacts from the "opposite" alignment, open arcs from them still count against the character's limit. The second theory is that since Ramiel requires you to go to Cimerora, you need to have done the Cim access arc already. I don't know for sure, but that one makes sense to me.
