Thread: Powerboost bug
Anyone know what causes it, and when it happens how do you fix it?
i used to have this message for about a month before they made powerboost work. I made a CSR ticket and they responded with a message saying eatfood or some stat moving item (i dont think that is what happend, as i will explain soon). Anyways as soon as i read that i was going to respond by telling them the exact message i get from powerboost, so i tried to boost, and suddenly it worked! I didnt eat any food, i think that response was just them blowing smoke up my cape, and that they fixed something on their end. I suggest sending a CSR ticket and that should fix it.
It is a known problem i knew several people that had this bug (myself included) but send a CSR ticket and they will hook you up.

This happened to me a couple of days after the patch, logging off for a few minutes fixed it. Not happened since, so I'm hoping it's pretty rare.
The best way to fix this bug is to kill your self. I could not use pb for 3 days and was like hmm i have not dead in a long time so i killed my self ( took all of my stuff out of invantory and put it in the bank becuse of decay) and abbracadabra it worked. I posted this about 2 weaks or so ago and someone trused me and used it and it worked for him too. I am warrning you about death and decay so dont think i am trying to trick anyone or something. Just trying to help it made me made its a sweet skill.

I have been a TKM for over a month now and Ijust startedhaving this problem last night. Everytime I would try and powerboost, it would act like I was already boosted and wouldnt allow me to powerboost again. The thing is, just like the original poster, I wasnt buffed in any manner and had not used the skill for well over 15 minutes or so.
I ended up dieing in one of the battles in which it didnt allow me to boost, and when I came back it let me boost again once more. However, after the first boost, it reverted back to not allowing me any further boosts for the rest of the night. The kicker to this whole situation is that when I tried to bug it last night, the game told me customer service was down so I could not report it. ![]()
This is very dissapointing because I have my HAMS set up to take full advantage of the powerboost buffs, and I never enter combat without it unless I have to. For me, this is a gamebreaking bug, and imo something needs to be done about it soon.

Yeah, we're hearing some reports of PB just randomly not working.
If you get that bug, report your galaxy,location, whether or not you have any bugged stats at that time (negative wounds included), and any other random stuff that seems like it might be related. The more detailed we can make our reports, the easier it will be for the devs to fix, and the faster we'll get the issues corrected.

Powerboost is acting flakey. I sit, meditate, and powerboost. Sometimes it works the first time and others I have to hit it 2 or 3 times. Sometimes I even have to stand up and start the process over to get it to stick.
i noticed that yesterday, then after i had been in game for a wile (15min or so maybe) it stoped doing that, although i have noticed that the cool down timer on power boost on occasion willrun out before the powerboost comes to an end (usally with less than a minute to go) so i try to get an extra boost for that short time, and then it will do the whole buged thing again beforeexecuting and I get no extra health, and i now have to wait for the cool down timer to run out before i can powerboost again, and meanwhile my inital boost runs out and i am back to my base health.
Powerboost is great but at a huge inconvinience.. I dont use it much, but it sounds like you are experiencing lag. I sometimes too, after powerboosting,experience what you are describing.. But that happens with other little things as well, if you just sit, sometimes it happens that way too. Or bank/bazaar searching.
