In a previous blog entry, I referenced a problem with the temporary powers from the Winter Event seeming to disappear when you first logged in.

Well, your Winter Event temp powers are, indeed, now gone.  If you hadn't heard (and apparently some have not) the time on the resurrection and Golden Rings holding power earned through the Winter Event was changed to eight real-time days instead of the in-game time which was originally given. 

However, turns out the weirdling little bug I'd reported on earlier doesn't just strike the WE powers.  Two days ago, I happened to be around on a very baby character who had the temp jetpack power from the Atlas Park safeguard/mayhem mission.  Lo and behold - wasn't anywhere to be found.  Not on the temp power menu, not in my tray.  Ungood.

However, when I zoned - bingo.  All there, just as it was supposed to be.

So, tip of the day:  If you seem to be missing a temp power you've earned, zone first before you petition.  Zoning, apparently, causes some sort of reset which causes the powers to be listed again.  Can't tell you why it happens, but maybe this'll save you a panic attack.
