City of Heroes
  • Chat
    • Fixed an issue where a player would not receive tells or see team chat messages as they were zoning.
  • Invention
    • Stupefy: Chance for Knockback: This recipeÂ’s description should now be consistent with the enhancementÂ’s description, describing both as being knockback not knockdown.
    • GaussianÂ’s Synchronized Fire-Control should now properly be a Unique enhancement.
    • Location targeted powers slotted with Pacing of the Turtle, Dark WatcherÂ’s Despair or Induced Coma enhancement sets chance for -recharge will no longer affect the caster.
    • Fixed several typos in IO Set enhancement descriptions which stated “this enhancement my be”, which should have been “this enhancement may be.”

  • Badges and Accolades
    • Changed the name of the badge granted from Flashback challenges by buffing enemies from Valorous to Fearless.

  • Gameplay
    • Fixed rare crash when rapidly transferring salvage to Base Storage.
    • Fixed rare crash when chatting in a Supergroup channel.
CITY of HEROES
  • Powers
    • Blasters
      • Blasters / Psychic Blast / Psionic Dart - This powerÂ’s long help should now accurately state that this power deals moderate damage.
      • Blasters / Psychic Blast / Mental Blast - This powerÂ’s long help should now accurately state that this power deals high damage.
      • Blasters Secondary Powers now give the correct Defiance Bonus. Honest.
    • Defenders
      • Cold Domination/Heat Loss: The endurance recovery buff portion of this power was granting ten times greater recovery than was intended. This has been corrected.
    • Scrappers
      • Martial Arts/DragonÂ’s Tail: Corrected the critical hit portion of this power so that it is equal to the powerÂ’s normal damage.
    • Peacebringers
      • All Peacebringer attacks that have a -def component will now show the debuff defense effects.

    • Brutes
      • Super Reflexes/Evasion: The brute version of this power will no longer have its defense affected by attackerÂ’s level.

      • Masterminds / Ninjas / Call Genin - Removed Quiver FX from Mastermind Genin pets when upgraded.
      • Improved damage of Mastermind Genin Shuriken powers. They now recharge more slowly, and take slightly more endurance, as well.
