All the bad guys I fight run away from me now. I jump into a group of 6 and they all scatter, only to run back, hit me and run out of melee range again. Very annoying.

This happens to me with Longbow...maybe they've always been that way and I just never noticed it until now, I dunno. Very annoying.|

I also have the UI problems that the OP has. Window size/position resets when I zone (not every time, but a couple of times a day).

That is pretty much standard tactics for longbow... They have several former members of monty python as trainers and the general rule of combat is "shoot at them then RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!!!!" |

I think the most annoying for me has been logging on and finding everything on screen moved .
My map isn't where i left it. the on line store and paragon points icons ar back where they were before i moved them out of my way. Several times already i have had to rearrange everything to where i like it before I could think about playing.

My blaster's big, KB-a-rific "Get the fark away from me, you jerk!" Energy punch has turned into Brawl. With better special effects.

That chick what plays the bird-things...
someone reported their base's defenses are active and attacking anyone who enters.
I'm really hoping my base is hit with this one.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

That's not just happening in radio missions. I ran a Carnies hero tips mission last night with a friend and we encountered Vanessa DeVore as an EB twice during the same mission in different sections of the map. The xp was nice, but it sure was a bit eyebrow-raising.

I got another incarnate ability to t4 thanks to the increase rare/very rare drop rates.

1 - Are you VIP? If so, you can disable these under misc. in the General Options section off the menu (and access the rewards and market windows via the menu too)|

2 - Are you aware of /wdwsave and /wdwload?

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
I exited Fort Trident and appeared in IP.

I used my mission transporter in PI and ended up in Perez
When I use Grenade Launcher the enemies decides to drop straight down like in the game musical chairs. Hillarious!

That's actually not a bug. Base AI's have become self-aware, they're sick and tired of getting powered down every time their squishy builders forget to pay the rent, and they are retaliating. |

It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.
i was attacked by the Ambush Nerd in an AE mission. It was very frightening.

So far the only thing to hit me has been the UI reset, which, for me, was simply the shop and rewards buttons moving back to the right side of the screen. And in fact so far it only hit 2 characters, had a 3rd play all night that didn't get hit.
I've had the UI thing, and a suspiciously borked Posi part 1 TF last night at the end of which the team's shadow selves delivered such a thorough and repeated one-shot pasting that I suspect we were fighting 50s (the leader's level) instead of 17s. But I can't beat a friend's account:
"I was lucky enough to be doing the Carnival arc, and every single mission was wall to wall Vanessas. I avoided them for a few missions, and then got the "Defeat Vanessa DeVore" mission, in which I had no idea which one was the right one. I logged out promptly and cried myself to sleep."

You probably had a mission set there and the mission TP will auto select the first mission under missions if the mission you want isn't selected and has a red star w/e next to it

I was told I couldn't log in without filling out the name and password fields, even though they totally were filled out. 
Formerly known as Stormy_D
Saw two level 44 Vanessa DeVore EBs in the outdoor patio near Paragon City Pizza, Up-N-Away Burger, and Super Lanes on the east side of the map -- where Carnies often spawn normally.
My friend and I decided to use our Incarnate-y goodness to eradicate the threat to passing low level heroes, and the fight probably took twice as long as either of us expected -- those EB's have a lot of hit points!
"Wow. I'm glad we weren't trying to do that on, say, level 44 heroes!"

I have to admit it was strange sending out a memo of the day to members... Avoid the vault room. the chain guns WILL attack you!

Todays the first time Ive played since the Thursday update and so far the following has happened
1. My window size settings keep re-seting when i zone
2. I ran a cave radio mission and the map was absolutely empty except the guy I was rescuing.
3. I ran another radio mission and instead of a boss to defeat I got Vanessa De as an EB.
And that is all in 30 mins......what your stories
