[Mind Probe from Psionic Assault (Dominator) and Mental Manipulation (Blaster) is affected by range debuffs]

Mind Probe is a melee attack that has the typical melee range of 7ft, but unlike other melee attacks it is not flagged to ignore range buffs or debuffs. This is noticeable while in an enemy's hurricane other melee attacks will land but Mind Probe might not.

Contrast Telekinetic thrust, and other melee attacks, which shows on City of Data "Strengths Disallaowed Range" while Mind Probe does not.

[Grammar question]

To whom do I ascribe game changes? Is the passive voice better because the subject of the sentence doesn't actually matter? Do you do grammar?

[Why does every TF have to be a +0 snooze fest?]

The alternative is fighting the same spawn of enemies 200 times just to complete a TF for its badges and merits. How often do you form teams? Just advertise it's +2 or whatever. People do it every day.

 

As an aside, it was my impression the bug of not using the correct difficulty on a mission was fixed. Didn't happen last time I tried it. Is it still happening sometimes?

[Mids is exaggerating recovery values]

The update system appears to be broken for the time being. To get the most recent database update, for example, you have to manually download it (it's posted in the mids discord).

[Mid's, Pine's and live do not agree - Mid's Resist values under reporting?]

unfortunately I don't think that would produce the reported 10% s/l resistance discrepancy from the totals, whereas that's about as much a difference as cardiac would make.

[Mid's, Pine's and live do not agree - Mid's Resist values under reporting?]

It's impossible for it to be an enhancement schedule problem as you're reporting tough at 15% s/l resistance on a tanker in mids, but 18% in-game. 15% is unenhanced. 18% would be likely if it remains unenhanced but you have either cardiac t4, or resilient radial equipped. This discrepancy is likely considering mids is incorrectly handling defense and resist buffs from alphas unless you update the database manually. As I said before, it would be easier to confirm or deny all of this if you would simply post the build that is causing you problems, as I cannot replicate what you're describing on any character or build outside of the previously mentioned alpha bug.

[Mid's, Pine's and live do not agree - Mid's Resist values under reporting?]

Judging by the enhancement values you've provided I'm guessing this character is using a cardiac or resilient alpha, which as of v3.1.2.5 db21.1215 is not adding damage resist values from alphas. I'm just guessing because you still haven't posted the build.

[Mouse wheel is toggling the function of the middle mouse button]

Thanks for the reply.

 

Of those binds, those that exist in the created bindfile are:

 

RBUTTON "+mouse_look"

MBUTTON "target_enemy_next"

MouseChord "+forward"

MOUSEWHEEL "+camdistadjust"

 

Unbinding mbutton and mousewheel does not stop the wheel from toggling whether mbutton+rbutton activates the forward bind. Also, using the mouse wheel to scroll through a webpage activates this problem too, so it is clearly not City of Heroes itself doing something funky with the wheel.

 

I can actually go into keymapping and click the middle + right mouse buttons on an option and the game says I've assigned left + right buttons.

 

Time to get another mouse

[Mouse wheel is toggling the function of the middle mouse button]

I'm having an odd issue with the mouse wheel interacting with the middle mouse button.

How it normally works with my setup:

 

Lbutton + Rbutton = forward

Middle button (pushing down on the wheel) = target next enemy

Rbutton = move the camera

 

This allows me to move the camera and target the next enemy with the mouse at the same time.

 

However, if I use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out, right button + middle button is now forward, as is left button + middle button. I lose the functionality of the middle button while holding down Rbutton.

 

If I use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out once more, things go back to normal and I can once again pan the camera while targeting with the middle mouse button.

I am using a new cheap mouse as my previous one wore out, so I'm sure that's the cause. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the mouse, checked for updated drivers (there are none), move keybinds around, checked a dozen different characters. Whatever function I've assigned to middle mouse button doesn't matter, rolling the wheel once changes my ability to use the middle + right mouse buttons and rolling the wheel again restores it.

 

What the hell?

 

Edit: I don't know offhand of any other programs I could check this specific use of middle + right mouse buttons, so I can't tell if this is only applying to city of heroes or if it's an operating system problem

[How high does incamate thread stack?]

Without joining incarnate trials, when are you going to see a raid leader ask a taunt-less tanker to pull AVs to the raid? There isn't a story arc out there with that kind of entertainment.
