It's not just Nosferatu. There is at least one repeatable instance where if you attack a group of four enemies, one of them will take off running even if it's several levels above you. I'll post a video of that in a few hours; look for a thread called "Run Leo Run".

I do not use "color phrases" no matter the language, unless I am truly angry at something. Profanity cheapens the soul and weakens the mind.

You're reading too much into it. They are not denying it, but they're not confirming it either. The post from Castle describes how the mechanics are supposed to work -- and if they're not doing that, that makes those mechanics "false" in my head, thus my original wording. False due to who knows what line of code or piece of data is doing something it shouldn't, not because Castle intends for it to be false.

To make it crystal clear: I am calling the quoted description false, but I am not shooting the messenger.

Not at all. I quoted the part where he describes the mechanics, because that's what I am replying to. "I'm not saying there isn't a problem" is not saying "there is a problem" either, so I don't feel that statement adds anything to the quote. Now, if he'd said "I do know there is a problem that we have not been able to address", now that's different. I expect running mobs to be very low on the priority of things to fix, since they don't really "break" anything, they just make some fights immensely annoying..

If you've seen that in Praetoria, it MIGHT be WAI. Since there are no drones in Praetoria to protect players in exposed areas, the mobs have a "leashing" system: if they wander more than (I think) 200 yds from their spawn point, they will deaggro, turn invincible, and run back to their spawn point.

If you saw it elsewhere, it might be possible that those mobs are leashing when they shouldn't.

I have sent bug reports about this before. I get a cut-and-paste reply stating that everything is working as intended. Not just for critters running away; it's rather infuriating to report that the entire zone of Sharkhead is LCMS every 6 seconds for everybody in the zone, regardless of their geographical location or connection method, and receive a reply back saying "restart your computer and tell us your firewall settings". Customer Support is, most of the time, unwilling to believe that there might be a problem with the game.

Would you prefer "does not reflect the reality of the game"?

Players of COH know that the above quote does not reflect the reality of the game. Critters run away whenever they feel like. Maybe you could somehow break the morale of a level 10 minion by killing a boss next to him, but come on. Nosferatu? A level 50 archvillain? I didn't even attack his minions! I was too busy running all over the place to try to get his attention.

He eventually found the entrance of the room and ran away towards the exit, until I lost his targeting reticle. I hate fighting in caves, so I didn't follow him, knowing he'd eventually be back. He did, and just stood there in the room looking at me (I swear: I moved location, and he turned around to face me). But he didn't attack me at all. So I dropped Phantom Army on him... and he immediately started running all over the place again!

After he disappeared out of the room and I lost target of him again, I started Fraps to record a video of it. While I was setting up, he came back and one of my pets attacked him, so I had to start the recording rather quickly in the middle of the fight.

Here is a link to the video. I added an introduction to it (basically what I said above) so it would have some context on YouTube; his crazy running starts at the 30 seconds mark.

Maybe I should have used the Crey Pistol.

Wrong. The tips are still there, but hidden. When you go to Paragon City it only shows you hero/vigilante tips, when you go to the Rogue Isles it only shows you villain/rogue tips.

If you're in win7/winvista this probably is because you're not running in an administrator account. Try installing a new copy of Mids outside the Program Files folder, in a place where your account has permission to write.

That's odd. Do you have the latest version of Mids? I have PVP IOs slotted and they look fine.

Try JDownloader.org, if you have to download files from those hosts often. It takes all the frustration out of it. It even autorecognizes some captchas. I used to avoid free hosts like the plague, now I just dump them into the JDownloader queue and let it deal with them.

Is it the new version? This patch is (most likely) not getting updated again, but I'm not a fan of having mirrors. It means that if I need to fix something, I can't spread those changes to the other file locations.

JDownloader.org makes free file hosting sites a lot more bearable. It's a download manager that will work with pretty much any service out there, and it will resume transfers from a lot of them, including the one I used.

I use them mainly because I like looking at the download statistics. When I upload several versions of the same file, looking at which gets downloaded the most gives me an idea of what people actually like.

In this case, as of time of writing, 43 people downloaded the original version, and 16 people downloaded the fixed version. Since you mirrored it, I don't know if the second number is low because people decided to stick with the first version as being "good enough", or because they're getting it from the mirror.

Great tip; I set them on the 12-15 range and now there's enough room to display Dwarf Strike and Dwarf Smite. The other two Dwarf powers are still out of luck. I'll upload the updated version in a minute.

Edit: Updated Data.zip here. Also updated the link in the first post, and the screenshot. If your Inherent Fitness powers don't appear in the bottom right corner, download the file again from the new link.

The Day Job description still says 30 days, when it's actually 21. The Empowerment buffs still say they last for 15 minutes, when they last for an hour. I wouldn't hold my breath on this particular text being fixed anytime soon.

I'm personally not very concerned about that; I recover 3.26 endurance per second, so even with the endurance drain of Superior Invisibility, Combat Jumping, Maneuvers, Assault and Tactics, I'm still recovering 1.46 endurance per second. And since I'm an empath, Recovery Aura is there to bring me up to 5.28 endurance per second when I'm in danger of running out (Recovery Aura lasts 90 seconds and recharges in 122.6 seconds in my build; I'm not going to run out of endurance in 32.6 seconds).

For others, though, endurance consumption is why I'm pushing for just Maneuvers and Assault. Those who have endurance to spare can contribute Tactics.

I made a quick patch to add Inherent Fitness to the current version of Mids. Get it here.
