Alpha Boosts not working

You know, I was kind of wondering if something like that was happening.
My endurance has been terrible all day today when I was doing the trials.
But when I was running my tips missions, I didn't have any problems.

Same here... I thought it was that the enemies draining my Endo. But seriously, there IS something wrong with the rate my blue bar is going down during combat in the trials, even when I'm fighting from far away and no attacks or anything is being sent my way.

Never seen my blue bar that low since slotting my very rare.

That would explain why my power recharge times seemed off (for example without Alpha, Aim and Build Up on my main have about a 4 second gap between them being recharged, with Alpha they sure as heck don't).
Methinks someone needs to crunch some numbers so that we can shove them under the dev's noses.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
I *think* but I can't sure, that the Alpha incarnate powers are being treated as "temporary powers" even though they're showing up in the buff window. Thus when you go into trial all temps go poof and our Alpha slots with them? Only thing that makes sense to me. They need to be flagged in some special way like the Accolades.
Also, re-enable my Jetpack in trials, please.

Considering that little powers like Mystic Fortune and Secondary Mutation appear to be functional (bear in mind that I've not looked at the numbers and won't be able to for about 9 hours), not having Alpha working in Trials is a BIG failure. Seriously odd that the level shift still seems to be sitting there handily (I observed that it drops when you die, as it always has, since it's a power effect and all power effects end on death).

The chat window resize. The absolutely horrible and fugly "classic" team window with it's extra shiney background green and hard to read fonts. Lambda and BAF randomly boooting EVERYONE in the trial out and not allowing them to join back in...among other things.

Also, is the clickable area of the Oro portale changing to the tiny glowie star-like thing that's floating WAI?

Specifically, it's to prevent the griefing some would do by dropping it on a manhole cover or ground-hole mission entrance to prevent people from entering it.

Oh man that explains a lot about why I was sucking so much wind on the trials I went on last night. I can't log in to do it, but I hope someone /bugged this in game.
Alpha boosts definitely do not work in Lambda. I was just on one and my heal only did 661. It usually does 740.
I noticed this, too. Not only was my endurance running down faster (I had never run out with my T4 Cardiac in place before), but I noticed my range coming up shorter than I've become used to. It was especially noticeable on my cones.
The Way of the Corruptor (Arc ID 49834): Hey villains! Do something for yourself for a change--like twisting the elements to your will. All that's standing in your way are a few secret societies...and Champions of the four elements.
I've tried testing this some. My alpha seems to work up till I die. It's after dying that the alpha doesn't seem to reactivate. Does your alpha work when you first enter the trial?

This was never noticed in Beta, so, /bug it with as much information as you can.

Tested some more. Alpha slot does work on zone in to the trials. It stops working after death. It wasn't active after either a rez from another player, or going to the hospital. It does reactivate if you unslot it and reslot it though.
Alpha works fine if you die somewhere like PI and rez in zone to the hospital. It is only in trials so far that it stops working for me if I die. It does work fine again after you zone out. no need to unslot/reslot
In both the BAF and Lambda my Cardiac Boosts do not function at all. The Icon appears under active effects, but the enhancement screen shows they are not applying to any powers at all. I confirmed with others in the trial their alpha were not function either.
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
