Article: CoH/CoV Combined PatchCombined (CoH and CoV)The devs have been busy again and have issued a new patch which includes the often requested ability to drop missions, although the patch covers much more than this.
Mission Dropping Feature - You will now be able to drop missions that you receive from Contacts.
Dropping a mission will carry with it everything that completing the mission
successfully does - it will advance story arcs, improve Contact 'standing',
grant special powers, give Mission Completion XP, and so on. You will not be
able to replay the mission you dropped. This is done this way so that you are
not stuck on a Story Arc, missing a vital Temp Power needed later on in the
mission chain or the like.
- If you are on a team with someone who drops a mission, you will not receive
any reward for the mission.
- In order to drop a mission, you must be the mission owner, and you can talk
to the Contact that gave you the mission. If the mission is droppable, an option
to drop it will appear.
- There are a few restrictions on the Mission Dropping Feature:
- You can only drop one mission every 7 days with this feature. If you need to
clear a mission, but have already used this feature in the past 7 days, you will
need to contact Customer Support as normal.
- You cannot drop timed missions.
- You cannot drop missions that are part of a Task or Strike Force.
- You cannot drop missions that give badges as Mission Completion
rewards.
- Some other missions are marked as 'undroppable'. These are missions that
have rewards that are well above average.
- You will not be given the choice to drop missions that are 'undroppable'.
You will need to contact Customer Support in order to clear these missions.
Powers - Players - Fixed an issue with Moment of Glory that caused the Buff Icon to blink after
the power's Buff period had ended.
- Ring of Fire and Fire Cages both have had a -Fly component added.
- The Teleport reticule now displays properly on Teleport powers with Range
enhancements slotted.
Powers - Pets/Gladiators - Pets made up entirely of f/x (like Tornado or Voltaic Sentinel) now display
properly.
- The Gladiator version of the Malta Hercules Titan will no longer combine
into a Zeus Titan if two are present.
Tasks - Lieutenants will once again appear in missions for solo players.
- Fixed bug that made some destructible objects in missions to get into a
state where they could not be targeted.

become inactive.
Bases - Moving stacks of stored items by double-clicking no longer causes items to
be dropped from stacks and lost.
Rewards - XP debt in PvP has been adjusted. If a player is defeated by another player,
no debt is given. If a player is damaged by another player and then defeated by
NPCs, debt is given proportional to the amount of damage inflicted by
NPCs.

you.
City of HeroesPowers - Players - Kheldian Energy Flight's Endurance cost has been reduced to match the
changes to the Flight power.
