Botched Ritual! Power Bugged

I was soloing a few minutes ago doing the new content in Pocket D when I got the "Botched Ritual!" temporary power for messing up the ritual. Didn't like the debuffs it gave, but they seem fairly weak... on their own.

I proceeded with the next mission and got map servered since my internet decided to stop working. So I log back on, and notice that I got two more applications of the "Botched Ritual!" power. I thought at first it was an icon glitch, but my max endurance showed at 40. So just out of curiosity I again logged off and logged back on, and get two MORE applications of this power, having my max endurance at 0. Pretty sure this is not how the power is supposed to work.

Thank goodness its 20 hours of real time it lasts, so I will just play another character until the power wears off. I already submitted a bug report in-game about it, and decided to share this with the rest of the community.

Two other threads regarding this were made yesterday and today:

I saw those, but none of them addressed the logging out issue. I only failed the ritual ONCE and only gave me ONE application. When I logged out and logged back in, it gave me an additional two applications of the same power, just by logging out.

Thats why I'm letting you guys know since that part of it was not covered.

All bugs aside the time duration IS silly. Dumbest thing added to the game since me. Was hoping for some zone events and yadda yadda yadda...

I think the Halloween event is the way events should work. Any zone, anytime, dont have to team if you dont want to team. Cool rewards that actually offer something you can keep like the costume slot.

I think you should log on and be able to tell the event is going on... kinda like the winter event with the presents everywhere... maybe a few Jack-O-Lanterns around... Holiday lights on city hall... a BIG Christmas tree in AP like the one in NY. Ice on the steps of city hall that cause an unresistable knockdown... I'm tired and I know this is the wrong thread... so please forgive me forum police... :P
