Power Recharge Problems

After zoning into a mission near the end of the Moonfire Taskforce, at least four members of the team had around three of their powers randomly 'on recharge', some of them taking several minutes longer than they should have to recharge, such as the Tier 2 Electrical blast power.
Quote:
I've had this happen a number of times. I think it has to due with a mapserver having the wrong time so that when you zone it tells the client the power won't be recharged till some time well in the future compared to what the mapserver for the last zone you were in thought.

I've had Sands of Mu vet power take 5 minutes or longer to recharge when everything else was fine (so I know it wasn't a debuff) and my wife just had her assassin strike stay dim from the end of one mission and 2-3 fights inside the next mission. It seems to be extremely random but very annoying when it happens. Just curious if anyone else had noticed this. It started happening after the last patch (along with the buff icon problem in another thread). |

I've noticed this also, but only with powers that can't be enhanced with Recharge, such as Judgements and Vet powers. I've also had Domination drop due to this bug with a perma-Dom. Irony.

I can repeat this every time with a /Kinetics controller. Siphon Speed a mob outside of a mission door then enter the mission - Siphon Speed takes at least an extra two minutes to recharge (as long as 15 minutes once!)
I had this problem for some time on my ss/fire brute - and for some reason only that toon. Random powers (but only on bar 1) went grey upon zoning regularly.
As I play at least 5 tip missions each day with 3-4 chars and never saw this problem on a different toon, I believed it to be char specific.
I rejoiced when those problems went away with the patch roughly four weeks ago.
Yesterday it hit me again. This time on my claws/elec brute and my plant/fire dominator 
I have had similar problems. It happens with click powers that were used outside the mission entrance and to toggles. Loooonnnnggg recharges.

Good to know that others are having this problem. Had this happen to one of the ally shields on my sonic defender recently after zoning into a mission. After it recharged it was fine for the rest of the mission.
I tend to have this problem when servers are under heavy load. It happened last weekend (double XP). It didn't happen for me for months before that.
