Temp Powers - borked or random?

Since I17 dropped I've had about 50 temp power recipes drop. Has there been any datamining related to the drop rate of these particular recipes -- and has adding them dilluted other drops? I haven't seen a single purple this entire issue, and that was after averaging 1 - 2 per week prior.

Is it just an RNG thing? Or are the odds stacked against us even more now?

I don't think we've had people submit dropstats reports so far. The ancedotes seem to agree that drop rate has increased significantly.

Temp powers are in a different drop pool than enhancement recipes. Their increased drop rate will not dilute those. If you haven't been getting purples, I think that's just randomness being not in your favor. I've actually gotten about 4 since I17, and I hadn't had any for a couple of months before that.

I'm pretty sure I got a temp power and a regular IO drop from the exact same critter earlier today.

temp recipes and regular recipes can drop at the same time. I don't know why, but they can.
