Noticed it on test as well.
Ran the Posi taskforce (parts 1 and 2) on live on Wednesday and managed to get the Backup Radio and the Plasma taser power, before temp powers were as rare as costume pieces, you saw them occasionally but you weren't getting one every couple of hours.

Heck, I was grinding radio missions earlier this evening and got two in one fight.

I'm getting way too many of them. They are about 60% of my recipe drops. Been selling and deleteing them because they clog up my recipes.

Since WW is down, I just crafted them to mess with them. |

Should be in the patch notes or if not, they forgot to add them. The temp powers have been made more common, with new ones added. Try the new ones out! They're great fun.

I just delete them when they drop, so it's like they never existed. 
yeah I've had about six thus far. All good

I'm glad they made them less rare, flavour powers are always cool to have.

Not to mention that being more common mean there's more of an incentive to actually use them instead of hanging on to them "just in case".

As long as they aren't taking away from useful, enh recipes to slot or sell. I assume they are coming from another check/pool, but I have no idea.

Agreed. Thought getting a "recipe" for a Revolver has always been weird, it seems pointless with my dual pistol wielding Thug Mastermind. |

My friend who plays a Temp Powers/Super Reflexes scrapper will be most pleased.

Ah, yes. The Temp Powers are quite nice.
Pets, Tazers... I like Recovery Serum. It's a great boost, especially Pre-Stamina.

They're great to add to my collection. There are enough now that, if I get all of the new craftable ones, I will have as many Temp powers as I have Primaries, Secondaries, Pools, Inherents, Accolades and Day Job powers combined. It's a sickness.
