ALPHA Slots do not work in the new content

The i20 expansion that builds on the i19 Alpha slot, with new trials, new slots, tougher stuff for Incarnates. You guys remember this stuff? Well, your Alpha slot powers do not work in it. they are considered temps and shut off. I bet the Devs are still laughing.

1. I noticed mine still showing up in the buff bar, so I'm not sure how yours wouldn't.

2. This is the tanker forum, not the place for this rant. Try the bug forum.

3. If Alpha slots aren't showing up, then it's more than likely a bug, and not intended. Are you really that paranoid that the devs are intentionally trying to mess with us, their source of money flow?

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

Apparently its a random bug. /bug it.

I have only anecdotal evidence myself. Running a Willpower Tank, with Physical Perfection, and The Cardiac Core 4th tier. I am also running Proc that give random End boosts. I have HUGE end problems in Lambda. In fact more than once I have bottomed out end. (And in any other content my Blue Bar only dips slightly when Rage drops, other than that 97-100% Blue...always....even against sappers/carnies) But in the bugs forums there is a post by people who say they have checked their boosts/stats and the Alpha is not working. Thought I may give you tanks a heads up, but I may be doing the chicken little thing. Whatever is going on, if my End bar is crashing like Evil Knievel I pity some of the normally end hungry tankers I know are out there trying Lambda.

You are aware that there could be massive end drain going on from foes, right? Or at least -recovery. At one point I bottomed out on my ELA brute, but I noticed I had flat-lined recovery in my combat window.

While in Lambda, I checked many of my league-mates to see if they had the +1 and it was showing up. Obviously tier 3 and 4 must be showing up. I'd make sure you weren't being debuffed.

Some of the Seers have Drain Psyche, so your recovery gets debuffed to zero. I haven't tested the alpha bug myself, but your specific problem is not with Cardiac.

I have confirmed the Alpha slot bug. My heal does 661 instead of 740 on my Scrapper. This was tested upon entering, before fighting any enemies that could debuff me.

I am doing Yoga and hanging with my wife tonight, so no gaming except a quick minute on to convert shards to threads, but tomorrow I should be able to jump into another Lambda and check my power stats to see if the Cardiac Core is showing on them. Almost a pity if it is, was hoping it was a bug the Devs could fix and my Blue bar would be healthy again. What am I going to have to do, respec back into Conserve Power? i mean, at a certain point it seems to be getting stupid, I run a Will Tank, I have both End Rec powers at ED, i have Physical Perfection, and I have Procs that give End...... It seems kind of crazy that after all that I am still having HUGE end issues. I mean, seriously, my blue Bar never drops except from Rage Crash. I can understand having some End problems in the new content, its tougher, but for me to have multiple complete End crash scenarios in a few hours gaming, with this build, WOW. They really built Lambda to take all your powers away. I can deal with tough. I can deal with really hard. Nigh Impossible.....that is gonna take a day or two to wrap my head around. So I need a couple Mad buffers and a Kin to get my Softcap END generating Monster back up to where he has a little bit of End available in the thick of things. Just seems odd.

Looks like it works fine until you die. Once you respawn at hosp. it is no longer working.

Interesting data mining Sinister. Thx.

Don't know if it was after a death or not, but my T4 Cardiac wasn't working throughout the trial I ran. Running all of my toggles I should be going at 1.48end/sec but in the trial it was 1.9end/sec.

Didn't think to bug it though :\
