Inspiration Duration

I have noticed that sometimes when I use inspirations, they won't last the full duration that they're suppose to. For example, I would pop a purple and 10 seconds later it would drop off of me without the icon blinking like it's suppose to. Now, I've encountered this ever since GR went live, this bug could have been there before, but I haven't noticed it before.

Has anyone else been experiencing this problem at all? I have uploaded a video to youtube to show this bug occurring, just have to wait till it's done processing until it's viewable. I'll post the link once it is.

I think I've been experiencing this as well, though I'm hard pressed to find any actual evidence. Monitoring chat logs has been problematic, so all I can offer is a gut feeling that something isn't working quite right. To this point, I'm only seeing this with Lucks, and not all the time. Digging through chat logs is not terribly fun, but if I get around to it, I'll post anything suspicious I find.

Here's a link to the video:

As you can see I use a purple inspiration and it only lasts for about 10 seconds or so.

Very strange; and no this isn't anything I've seen in game.

Make sure to /bug it, and it wouldn't hurt to PM the video link to Castle.

I saw that you had the combat numbers up, was your defense dropping when the icon vanished or was it just a graphical error?

Defense dropped, you can only see it clearly if you watch the video in HD.

** Any reference to Siphon Power in this post is in relation to Kinetic Melee, unless otherwise specified **

I know how to replicate this bug with ease on a Kinetic Melee toon ... Pop your inspirations (doesn't matter what ones, as long as they have a duration), hit Siphon Power straight after, and then hit 4 to 7 enemies. Within about 5 seconds of the last hit, your inspirations will drop off well before its intended duration.

I have confirmed this through the attribute monitor aswell, so they are definitely being removed for whatever reason.

CHAMPION!
