Thor Yellow

Sometimes when I cast Thor Red on PvE, my Yellow AP decreases. It is noticeable when both red and yellow powers are charged, but after casting red, yellow isno longer charged. Wondering if the 3 Yellows added to the board are being removed from AP. I will keep a closer eye next time I use this, butwondering if anyone else seeing this.

    I've noticed this kind of thing with a.wolvie. I've decided to do a move on a character before using up adamantium slash, only to find after setting off that first move that I now have 11/12 in red. The first few times I swore I had 12/12, but decided I must have been mistaken and just thought I did. Its happened too many times to discount it as a mistake I'm just making in my head though. Unfortunately I don't remember the move(s) that triggered this... >.<

    Are you sure you were not fighting against the Hood? He can steal 1 of each AP that has more than 9 tiles on the board. So suppose Thor has 12 yellow and uses his red to add 3 yellows to the board. They would rarely be matched but Hood would be able to steal one of Thor's yellows.

    It was in the Featured PvE, so some combo of Rags, Moonstone, Daken, Bullseye, Yelena, Venom.

    Hood would be irrelevant anyway, when my turn started Red and Yellow were flashing. When I tapped Thor, the yellow was up first, I moved it to fire Red first. After Red fired, yellow was at 11/12. All in same turn, so nothing could have been stolen.

    All I can recommend then is try to reproduce the bug and document it in whatever way possible (pics, video).

    I've seen this too and thought I was imagining things: two powers ready to set off, use one, and then the other is not usable. It doesn't seem consistent.

    Documenting issues like these is kind of hard unless you want to take pictures before and after every move, or video every match. Can't the devs do some live testing or simulation play after we've alerted them to the issue?

    Just like everyone started seeing the "dead Hood" problem in the last Hood featured PvP, I think many of us are seeing the "IM40 virus" in this most recent event.

    I have seen the same happen many times with Awolverine and LThor. Their powers are designed to cascade off each other, and yet they sometimes fail to chain for some unknown reason. No Hood, no OBW, no DD traps. Just missing AP after power activations.

    Everyone has so much fun playing with IM40 that the "lose 30% AP" has been extended to all other characters.
