Whilst the majority of bugs are directly linked to New Telepathy...there are a few which tie into Original Telepathy and they have been around for two years now. They are as follows:
Telepathic Reverberation BugsQoL: Description Update required. Telepathic Reverberation scales with Presence and is affected by Recovery. On LIVE the power description incorrectly states it scales with Ego and is affected by Recovery. (This could be done when TP Reverb is being changed to 100ft)
QoL: Telepathic Reverberation is not holding up under severe GFX such as in Gravitar or Fire and Ice. This is impacting energy returns from the passive.
Mental Leech -
QoL: Description Update required. Dependency states it heals "allies" when in practice it only appears to heal ONE ally. It requires a mechanic which allows it to detect someone who needs healing instead of basing the healing of an ally on who is closer to the target.
Shadow of Doubt -
QoL: Shadow of Doubt does not have any Sound FX at Rank 3.
Mental Storm -
FIXEDMind Break -
QoL: Mind Break does not have any charge up SFX or charge up VFX (I don’t know about anyone else, but the SFX for Ego Blast slapped onto Mind Break would be great. As for VFX…PSI Initiates head aura? click the link to aura suggestions in my sig to see what I mean.)
Congress of SelvesCongress of Selves - BUG: Ego Damage Resistance Portion from Congress of Selves does not apply to incoming Ego Damage.
When
I removed all my gear leaving me with a total of 9.4% Resistance to all damage from my Defense stat and 62% Ego Damage Resistance from Congress of Selves, I paid Mind Slayer (Super Villain Rank) a visit in Canada and this happened:
[Combat (Self)] Mind Slayer deals 8264 (9043) Ego Damage to you with an unknown ability.
9043/ (1+9.4% Defense stat + 62% from CoS) = 5275.96266 <-- Amount IF CoS was working as intended.
9043/ (1+9.4% Defense stat) = 8265.99634 <-- Actual amount takenCongress of Selves - BUG: Ignore 30% targets resistance portion does not work at all.
Congress of Selves at rank 3 says it empowers EGO damage over time abilities to ignore 30% of a targets resistance.
On a target with a total of 143% Resistance to Damage, versus my Ego DoTs (Shadow of Doubt), their resistance should be lowered to 113%.
Mentella deals 57 (137) Ego Damage to you with Shadow of Doubt. <-- Taken from combat log.
137/(1+113%) = 64.31 <-- Amount IF CoS was working as intended.
137/(1+143%) = 56.37 <-- Actual amount dealt. (more or less)
(Thanks to
@aqa for being a willing test subject!)

So it's quite unfortunate that the new passive in part is not working, as well as a few other issues with the other New Telepathy Powers.
EDIT: VERY grateful to jheinig and the Cryptic Development Team for the work done to correct the Telepathy bugs so far. Even if not many use the powerset...
I am very grateful. I eagerly await other related fixes!

This used to happen to me when I was a Mind AT, along with the "two instances of AoRP cancelling blocking ability for the entire team". I didn't list it because I thought it had been fixed a long time ago.

Just tested Mind Break on the PTS, and it does appear to trigger Tele Reverb correctly.
Thanks for looking into this issue!
Much appreciated!
Mind Break: I see, very interesting thanks to you both for your testing, that's really odd. It could be that when I tested it I was beyond 50ft so it just flat out didn't trigger anyway. I'll update the OP now. Thanks again!
Congress of Selves: Completely understandable.
Once again, thanks for looking into this and making changes, it really does mean a lot

Older thread w/ that testing (few replies down):
http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums#/discussion/252508/is-congress-of-selves-still-broken
May be worth re-testing if the devs are interested.
Great thread, btw.

Thanks for adding this!
This has been the case since before they hit LIVE and was a problem a few players (who were interested in Telepathy) commented on but never got a fix for.
I believe it was explained just as flow said here, the initial ticks of the DoT powers were gaining some sort of penetration but subsequent ticks were not (and that penetration value was FAR from the advertised 30%). I think that part of the passive has shut off entirely now or is at best incredibly inconsistent.
As for why CoS seems to boost all Ego Damage alongside Ego DoT, that is intended. But the ignore target's resistance portion is reserved only for Ego Damage over Time powers (Ego Sprites, Shadow of Doubt, Mental Leech and Mental Storm).

Telepathic Reverberation now works with the following; Mental Storm, Mental Leech & Shadow of Doubt.
Telepathic Reverberation now works at 100ft.
Telepathic Reverberation vs Super Villains: If you wish, you can force bosses to sleep providing you with energy from them being crowd controlled or you can use Disorient applications to gain Telepathic Reverberation.
*turns attention to Congress of Selves* "You're next buddy."

@jheinig Is there any news on when to expect a fix for Congress of Selves? Having the ego damage resistance and penetration offline really sucks.

As for Mental Storm, if people are having issue with making TP Reverb proc with it;
Work Around: Mental Storm upon initial application does not apply or proc Telepathic Reverb, however it is entirely possible this mechanic is reserved for Ego Sleep by itself. Work around to gain TP Reverb out of this power is to full charge then tap or charge this ability on the same target once it has recharged, this will provide TP Reverb.
We also have shiny new icons for Mind Break and Mental Storm @crypticarkayne , are you able to speak on Congress of Selves and when it will get it's much needed fix?
