Mission-critical temp power display

As anyone who has done a Lambda trial can attest to, rarely do all the temp powers that are collected get used. And when you ask the league, "People, please look in your list of temp powers for Acids or Grenades!" all you typically get in response is resounding silence punctuated by a few crickets.

So my proposal: give all mission-critical temp powers a meaningless buff aura, like an infinitesimal amount of regen or something. Now that the powers have a buff, they'll be visible in your teammates buff-bar displays. It'll be easier for people to tell at a glance if they have one of these powers in inventory, and perhaps more importantly it'll be easy for sharp-eyed teammates to see it and point it out to their unobservant cohorts as well.

This would completely end the mystery of temp powers collected but somehow never accounted for, and the best part is all it takes is editing a powers spreadsheet--no programming changes needed, since it's using existing game mechanics!

Did the devs remove the search button from the top of the forums? This is like the umpteenth thread about this in 2 weeks.

But you're not allowed to bump old threads.

Uh, no. The thread I linked is not old. The last post in it, when I linked it, was yesterday. Since I linked it, there has been a new post.

Most of the threads about this issue are within a couple weeks old (especially since *issue 20 itself* is just a couple weeks old), which the mods don't consider necro.
