• These powers tooltips are a serious case of misrepresentation. They need updating so they are not giving players a false idea of what the powers do.

I remember some of these, like the mis-names of the debuffs and that they're labeled as interrupts, but could you do a point-by-point of what's incorrect? It'd be helpful to have a list of the powers and what exactly's incorrect in them. That way we can be sure we got them all, and we don't have to go back to it later for more fixes.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

Bug: Involves Personal Force Field Passive (and potentially all shields) and Crowd Control (perhaps just Hold HP)

Ego Sleep when applied to a foe with PFF (player) seems to cause the break free to not only weaken the hold itself but also damage the PFF HP.

This means Breakfree is doing something wrong, OR PFF isn't working well with Crowd Control mechanics.

This bug is also visible on LIVE.

Test: Break free damage on shield effects.

Test parameters:

• Controller
  • Attributes/Passive: Presence: 580, Intelligence: 258, Recovery: 141, Aura of Primal Majesty Rank 3, Manipulator Rank 1, Support Role, Presence: Dominion 2/2
  • Powers: Ego Sleep Rank 3, Thunderclap Rank 3, Binding of Aratron Rank 3, Entangling Mesh Rank 3, Bolas Rank 3
• Target
  • Attributes/Passive: Endurance: 289, Constitution: 155, Recovery: 155, Personal Force Field Rank 3, Hybrid Role
  • Powers: Protection Field Rank 3, Mindful Reinforcement Rank 3, Ego Surge Rank 1, Lock N Load Rank 1

Test: Controller's powers consist of five control types: sleep, stun, incapacitate, root, and paralyze. Target's powers consist of three shield effects: Personal Force Field, Protection Field, Mindful Reinforcement. Each control type was tested individually against each shield type, using "Press <key> to Break Free" and Break Free damage from Active Offense.

Results:

• Personal Force Field damaged by all five control effects through pressing to break free. Not damaged by Active Offense break free.
• Protection Field damaged by all five control effects through pressing to break free. Not damaged by Active Offense break free.
• Mindful Reinforcement not damaged by all five control effects through pressing to break free. Not damaged by Active Offense break free.

You actually expect them to TOUCH crowd control now? For what reason.. Because it's Broken?

Perhaps I can better explain Cryptic Studios relationship with Crowd Control with a gif:

Alright, I'll compile a list soon :biggrin:

Shadow of Doubt

-The second part of the power description is wrong:

"When Mental Storm expires it applies Regret to the target. This power causes -6% all damage strength for each stack of Regret. This effect stacks up to 10 times."

The above should be:

"When Shadow of Doubt expires it applies Regret to the target. This power causes -6% to all damage strength for each stack of Regret. This effect stacks up to 4 times."

Under ALL POWERS tab when entering the game and looking at all powers, the tooltips for New Telepathy are incorrectly describing them as INTERRUPTS this is misrepresentation. This seems to be a common theme for the New Telepathy Powers. They should reflect the tooltips (in yellow under extra information and the tooltips when in power tray). The bugged tooltips in question is the white text when a power is clicked upon in the ALL POWERS Menu.

EDIT: One addition to tooltip/combat log - "Ego Storm" is being referred to as "Psionic Storm" instead of Ego Storm. Psionic Storm sounds better IMO, but either way this is a small bug to iron out.

I see you have an appetite for destruction.

I'm not sure how to take that..something of a similar nature has been used negatively on me before...anyway...it's just a very minor gripe.
