Take 2 lvl 10 INV/SS tanks with the exact same build the only exception being one has vet rewards the other does not, throw them in the arena against one another and see who wins.

I know for sure that you cannot use veteran powers in the arena. It wont give any advantage there. Havent taken it to PvP, but it might be disabled there to. Even if it weren't disabled in PvP zones, unslottable powers wouldn't much or any affect in a high level PvP zone. There real use seems to be purely in PvE as they do tend to make low level battles more interesting and faster at least.

Looked through this list and found no one mentioned the inspiration dropping bug.

There are a couple of times when in battle on team and trying to drop inspirations on fellow teammates that I get error text saying "cannot give items to yourself ."

This has been an issue since before I8.

Here is a new one though, I sent in a petition because I thought my Nav marker was pointing at a non-existant door. (one underneath a basketball court in brickstown). I found it before the GM responded. However, when the GM responded it didn't show up in my chat window, it showed up in a tab I created to show my damage stats. I heard the 'tell" beep, looked at chat window saw nothing, and moved on, I never noticed the GM Chat until later, she thought I was AFK, cause I didn't respond.

I checked my active channels for each window, and I see no way for any chat to show up in the window I made, since it only displays my damage delt (unlike Combat tab in regular window). I sent in a petition on it but no responce yet.

Is more hard locks, stability, and disconnection issues known issues?

I have had game crash live more in the last 2 hours, than in the last 6 months b4 I8. Sure I can expect a little lag with all the new content, and more players flocking to the servers for them. 2 fatal errors in a span of 1-2 hours, is not normal, something is wrong! I only crashed once on test (mind you I did less stuff on test, since well, no XP).

I can't even play my game. Can't help team while verifying image for 5 mins, meanwhile the team is in the middle of a large nemi fight, and I, the only defender, get booted off, and asked "what was I doing at the time crash occurred?" ---- Oh I don't know --- trying to play. Sure I can give details, but that just means my team goes that much longer with no heals. Do I wanna help, sure. I have reported on every crash that I have ever seen b4 today. Have I got a responce on what caused it, or an update on the fix? Nope. Nada. Only if I use the ingame /bug, which will take almost 10 minutes to get back up.

Sorry for soapboxing, I'm really aggitated!

More on trenchcoats -- On one of my toons, Inevitable Darkness. I just gave her a trenchcoat. It is black, however if I go to the SG color changing screen (from SG Settings) the coat is still black however the color bubble next to it is Red. My toon has absolutely no red anywhere in costume. The color black is showing properly in game. So it might just be a UI thing, but it might have something to do with all the trenchcoat color problems.

The transfusion thing doesn't seem like a bug, because the dark heal power will work from a target who dies after activation. If they can do it with dark, why not kinetics... they work very simularly. I think they planned the fact transfusion doesn't heal when target is dies during animation. If you think about the two power sets it makes sense. A dead target has no regen so where would the buff come from. Dark is sapping energy from their very soul, hehe.

Kinetics still rocks!

And for the original post question, not a good idea. Could you imagine what that would be like in PvP...... nastily unfair, and completely overpowered in PvE as well. Would cause a sharp rise in Kin defs and trollers (not that thats a bad thing).
