Same. And as a side effect, it isn't automagically updating. [sad wabbit face]

That's a bug... We had to change some of the mouse click events to support the Drag'n'Drop, and it seems we missed one. I'll go beat DeProgrammer around the ears until he fixes it.

I sure hope so!

I really need to talk to TonyV about getting some kind of static html page to serve or something during Maintenance...

Thanks guys. Now all you need to do is update Sentinel so that the export build feature works with the Alpha slot instead of producing an error.

With projects like Mids and Sentinel, I'd say WE'RE the winners.

SO NYAH!



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Something...It's not a bug or anything...but..a QoL?

In the past when we selected accolades we had the ability to Click them on/off to see the difference in our stats, or at least to be aware that we did infact select our accolades. I wonder if you can rework that feature for Accolades and add it for the incarnate button too?

Like I said it's nothing major but I quickly noticed it when I started working on a couple occasions I kept thinking "Did I enable my accolades and Alpha?".

Damage per second for [Hail of Bullets] is... amusing. Also: probably bugged. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be able to do more than 4000 damage per second for about 4 seconds.

Scroll wheel doesn't work for the Incarnate window.

Opening the Incarnate window and closing it, then opening it again is causing the window to creep towards the right each time.

Perhaps someone here knows why I cannot see TF Commander under hero accolades?
And Thx for the alpha update MIDs team!

This is actually the original intention, but the custom control didn't support it well so I scrapped it for time. This will probably be implemented next version.

Hail of Bullets confuses the hell out of Mids for a couple reasons. I meant to get around to looking at it, but... yeah. Didn't happen.

Huh. Weird.

Even weirder.

In both of the above cases we're using standard System.Windows.Forms forms and panels, so this behavior is really odd.

It shows up normally for me... Itried both on pure hero and a brute turned hero shows up both times. Maybe your screen resolution or something similar?

Correction - the Top half of the Incarnate window will scroll if you click anywhere in it first. The bottom half will not respond to the scroll wheel at all.

Nice update. A couple of things:

The popup on powers is not taking into account the Alpha Slot; the enhancement only shows up in the "Enhance" tab.



The accolades are not taking into account global bonuses, for example, Recharge. I have 208.75% recharge, yet Eye of the Magus still says it recharges in 1500 seconds.

Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!

Also, note the little disclaimer on the popup explicitly saying it doesn't take Alpha slotting into account, showing only slotted enhanced values.

This was done because, unlike the Data View window on the left, there is no ability to do a mouseover of the Enhancement numbers to find out how much of the enhancement comes from your slots and how much comes from the Alpha Slot. My choices were to either overloaded the popup with enhancement data, making it difficult to read, or to choose between displaying the final amount or the pre-Alpha Slot amount, and I chose the later because I felt that would be more immediately useful to people when they are filling their slots.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Accolades are affected by Recharge bonuses (the ignore recharge tech is relatively new and was only applied to certain new Vet and Pack powers). But either way they won't be there because of the way that thing loads its data.
