Shield model not showing up with toggles on

After being in coyote travel form, for some reason when I turn on my shield toggles my shield won't appear on my character at all. If I switch to a costume with a different shield, such as my roman costume with the Romulus Nictus shield model, then switch back it will correct the problem. This is annoying because I have to wait so many seconds before switching back to the costume I want to use.

So far it it seems to happen with the Round Shield>Reinforce and Elemental Shield>Energy Shield. I'm not going to wast my inf at a tailor to test out every shield. Although it doesn't seem to happen with the Romulus Nictus shield that has the dark tendrils on it on my one costume.

Anyone else have this problem?

And I don't think it is a server delay because I waited a few minutes and the shield never showed up.

Instead of changing shields try zoning to see if that fixes it.

If it doesn't, try using an emote such as /e teabag (I know that emote works with a shield out)

If it doesn't, go to https://support.cityofheroes.com and log in to your support account (create one if you haven't) then use the Ask A Question tab (yeah, you aren't going to ask a question) to report it as a bug. Give as much detail as you can including not only what you listed here but also what zone you were in at the time and any other steps you took to try to get it to show the shield (including my two suggestions above).

I'd test it on my Shield Scrapper except I'm not willing to spend points on the Coyote Travel Power.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

I've had a NC Soft support account since 2006 so I'm aware of it. Also before posting on the forums I sent a support ticket about the problem. I created this topic on the forums after because usually when filing a bug report through the support website they usually tell me to post on the forums anyway.

Edit: I do appreciate the suggestions. I won't worry about it for now since I'm working on non shield defense characters and by the time I get around to my one character, the problem will probably be fixed.

Note: NC Soft support for CoH is improving quite a bit in my opinion.
