So...

I joined a quick PuG last night, headed to the mission, and we were waiting for the rest of the group. So I toggled on Walk and wandered around a bit.

A teammate cast Mystic Fortune on me, I clicked 'accept', the yellow 'You have received a Temporary Power' message flashed. A second teammate cast Mystic Fortune on me, I hit accept again (expecting it to cancel out like it usually does when I accept a second fortune if I already have one). But no, the 'You have received a Temporary Power' message came up again.

That was weird, so I toggled off Walk, the Mystic Fortune animation played (the sigil-circle around me plus the sound effect, which hadn't when I accepted either buff), and I checked my buff bar -- I had *both* The Moon and The Lovers showing there.

My laptop decided to die shortly after so I didn't do any extensive testing; and I don't know that both buffs were *actually* applied as far as numbers are concerned, but it was definitely abnormal behavior.

I /bugged it in game, but has anybody else seen this or can duplicate it?

I duplicated this. You get the second buff,but it's immediately canceled by Walk. No real problems.

Shortspark: 50 Fire/Fire tanker
Emberblast: 50 Fire/Fire blaster
Jessie Inferno: 50 Fire/SD scrapper
a wizard: 50 Rad/Sonic defender
The Nemesis Plothole: 50 StJ/Reg scrapper

Walk turns off powers. I don't think what you experienced is unusual at all.

I don't think he's talking about Walk disabling the buffs, nor is he really talking about the fact that the buffs don't apply while he is using Walk..

The bug here is that once you turn walk OFF, all the buffs were applied at once, and stacked, even though that power does not normally stack on top of itself.

What I'd guess is happening is that the Mystic Fortune is actually playing, but is supressed by Walk, and then the second Mystic Fortune stacks on top of it because the first one isn't actually active. Then once Walk is turned off, both instances of the power are unsupressed together.

Edit:
I just tested it and repeated it several times. I currently have 4 separate Fortune buffs applied to this character.

Edit 2:
I just sent this thread to a few RedNames.
