Miss Thystle's Plea (hero tip) - NPC allies can't be buffed


Luminara

Recommended Posts

In the Miss Thystle's Plea level 50 Hero tip, Miss Thystle and Frostfire are friendlies who have to be rescued from Nemesis troops.  After rescuing them, trying to use Grant Invisibility on them (tested on both) fails with "Invalid Target".

Get busy living... or get busy dying.  That's goddamn right.

Looking at City of Data for Grant Invisibility, the power only affects Leaguemates rather than Allies.  Therefore, NPC allies ARE ineligible targets.  In fact, so would be players you are not teamed with.  I’m not sure this is actually a bug.

My guess is the intention was to prevent drive-by buffing rendering people unable to see their costumes/characters.

It works on other NPC allies.  It's bugged (for Frostfire and Miss Thystle, that is).

Rebirth (Destiny Incarnate ability), Call to Justice and Grant Cover don't affect Frostfire or Miss Thystle, either.  Changing the title.

I was once like you, Luminara. I too thought the world was simple.

Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own.

The world is simple.  My chainsaw makes it so.

I do love a good chainsaw, but you missed a great opportunity with this reply.

I couldn't remember what was being referenced (i know it, i just can't dig it out of the pile in my head), so I winged it.
