Yes, I agree they need to do something about the fame bubble. It was less confusing in beta when they didn't have them.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
I'm equally confused. My perception of this new window is that I only can fill 1 more bubble in 24 hours ?? or do they all go away in 24 hours so I can do 5 more tips ? Not very clear.

There are the 5 bubbles for fame.
No more than 2 bars can show at a time because you can only work on your current alignment or the next one. So a vigilante in Paragon can work on Hero or Vigilante. A vigilante in Rogue Isles can work on villain.
Each bar has 10 points to it. Doing a tip mission of that type advances the bar of the type and adds a fame bubble. Whether your hero does 5 vigilante tips or 3 vigilante and 2 hero tips (or any other combination) you will fill up your 5 fame bubbles.
Each fame bubble has a 20 hour timer. Once you fill up all 5 you cannot advance your bars at all.

Just logged onto a character to find one of the fame bulbs says "Your fame for this heroic deed will be forgotten in 24 minutes!"
This should be the message they show ALL the time, I think, instead of the "you've been famous for x amount of time".
It seems like this message I've just seen currently only shows up in the last hour before a tip can be gotten again.

The current implementation of fame bulbs seems rather clumsy to me. Currently the interface shows how long ago you've filled that bulb (You've been famous for a deed x hours) and doesn't mention anything at all about why the player should care about that. I think it would make more sense to have the mouseover be a countdown to when a tip can be done with that fame slot again. Make it say something like "The public will recognize another deed in (20-x) hours".
I think something to this effect would be a nice move to pull some information out of clumsy text boxes and into the interface. Reducing player confusion.
