[EDIT} I spoke too soon... I am still experiencing this issue. Seems this is related to the Shield Defense powers... All of my Shield power toggles were off. This issue only occurs when I have at least one of these powers turned on: Deflection Battle Agility Against All Odds Or, if "Active Defense" is active. True Grit (Passive) does not seem to cause this if none of the other Shield Powers are active. I am currently level 16, so I only have these 5 of the Shield Defense powers Thank you again! {/EDIT} As of this morning, I am no longer experiencing this issue. If you have resolved it, Thank you! If nothing was done, then I am sorry for taking your time. Thanks!

Hello, I have noticed a bug with the "Void Skiff" prestige travel power. If I am moving forward (w) when I activate the Void Skiff (Via keybind or by clicking it in my power tray, it activates fine, but graphically it appears that the skiff is inside my waist, and makes an odd sound along with a video "stutter". If I release w the skiff moves down to its expected location, the stuttering stops and the weird sound stops. Not sure if it is due to the costume or power sets combination. I noticed this on my villain "Axtu Grynd", a brute, "Battle Axe" / "Shield Defense" on Torchbearer. I have attached two screenshots, as well as my costume file. Thank you! Axtu.costume

I really like events like this... Unfortunately, I had company at my place from Thursday afternoon until Sunday night and didn't ever get a chance to find the AV. I did get salvage on two different characters early Thursday while waiting for my guests to arrive though. Is this gone forever? Until next year on TLAP day? Thanks

Thanks for all the input! I'll be checking into Ice and Rad primaries.

I have a small SG of five IRL friends. We play as a five man team once per week. We are getting up into the upper 40s with our current team and I am looking ahead to our next team. I am thinking of running a tank but am not sure what primary to choose. We never lack in DPS, one of us always runs a Dominator, one gravitates towards scrapper/stalker and one usually runs either tanker or brute/scrapper. I am normally the buff/debuff with a defender or controller but the stalker/scrapper says he thinks he would like to try a "supportive" AT this time. I may be tanking for this team. Last time I ran a tanker I played Shield/Kinetic Melee and by mid 30s I felt pretty strong, to the point where we were running +2. I'd like to try a different set but am not completely against going Shield Primary if that is my "best" option. I am looking for a primary set that will allow me to build to be the "tankiest" I can be while leveling. Once we hit 50, we start new toons so I don't worry about slotting purples, or finishing incarnate abilities. Cost of the build isn't a problem, I have a bunch of Inf and merits stocked on my old previous 50s. What would be suggestions for creating the "invincible" tank for leveling? (I prefer Defense vs Resists.) Ice seems (on paper anyway) to be a good defensive set, would this be feasible for what I want to do? Or should I get over my Defense > Resist thing and play one of the Resist sets? Thanks for any input!

I can't remember how the set piece bonuses work, sorry. I am level 33 and slot two set pieces in a power I picked at level 32 to get a Recovery bonus of 2%. If I then run a synapse TF (Exemplared to level 20) I know I can't use the power from level 32, but will I still get the 2% recovery buff? Thanks!

Just came back to Paragon City late last summer. My first hero hit level 50 recently and when I play him now I am still getting XP. Not just the incarnate XP, but actual XP that advances my "pink" bar. Is there now a level 51 in game? Sorry if this is an old topic but I tried searching these forums and nothing matched.

I am also not able to log in. I have checked my Settings and the launch parameters is empty. I have done "Re-validate" and am still getting these errors: Download error: hc-bin32/cityofheroes.exe Size mismatch (948 vs 9070592) Checksum Mismatch (456dfb493e53c7716ef7bc30c1521bf5 vs de119620495e76e23526366ea3bb0281)Download error: hc-bin32/crashhandler.exe Size mismatch (948 vs 1243648) Checksum Mismatch (456dfb493e53c7716ef7bc30c1521bf5 vs 1c8e3b7a611d04071d9d619d9fa843da)Download error: homecoming.exe Size mismatch (948 vs 9070592) Checksum Mismatch (456dfb493e53c7716ef7bc30c1521bf5 vs de119620495e76e23526366ea3bb0281)
