Sirens Call Enhancements - 16.2%

Hello all,

Last night I was on my L50 MM in Sirens. While there, I took a look at my Power Enhancement screen - you know, the screen where the slots & enhancements are shown. I noticed that throughout my powers, that the number 16.2% kept showing up next to a power's enhanceable traits. In other words, many traits of powers are enhanced 16.2% even though I have no IOs enhancing such traits.

:::: For example ::::
Upgrade Equipment: Power Range: 16.2%, Recharge Time: 16.2%, Endurance Cost: 45.1%

All I have slotted in this power is one L50 Reduce End Invention IO, which provides a value of 42.4%.

Is this some sort of PvP buff for MMs while in PvP Mode? Or is it yet another bug?

Everyone has it for some reason.

Just an idea here, I have no idea if this is true but perhaps since such a big part of Siren's Call pvp is the hot spot fighting, and since npcs are stronger in the new pvp because of diminished returns - maybe this bonus is to make up for the DR so people can fight over the hot spots on more equal terms with the npcs?

Where in the zone was it? By the base? Perhaps it's caused by that new field thing. It's already known to be bugged by causing travel suppression. Very likely it's bugged in 10 other ways too, this being one of them.

For the purpose of following up on my post.

It appears that everyone who enters Siren's Call has this 16.2% enhancement buff to non-enhanced traits. It doesn't matter if your affected by the new Protective Phase near the bases, or in the open zone.

Does this 16.2% actually affect our powers or is it just a bug in the Power Enhancement screen? Any links to old threads would be appreciated all.
