I keep randomly getting buffs that have a 2 min timer, from both buff bots and players, and on a lvl 70 character. Anyone else?

I'll look into it when I have the time.

I am seeing something similar.
I'll cast a group damage shield spell (Circle of Fireskin) and on 1 or 2 of my 6 box I'll see the spell land normally with the correct time but after a few seconds (one tic maybe) it looks like it drops down to the timer of a level 1 toon.
I'll try to list my observations:
1) Logging seems to correct it
2) Does not seem to happen consistently
3) Variety of spells effected (I dont think its based on the spell)
4) Recasting the spell on the effected player can correct it but often doesn't.

I have noticed it from buff bots but normally if you just hail again you will get the full timer -- only had it happen once from pet but not that big of a deal on most pet classes. But yea it's def bad. Really sucks to zone and lose all your buffs so you have to go back Tongue

Buff bots doing this aint that big of a deal, if you notice it....

But doing an RoA, and you see that your shammy 3.0 buff you just got is suddenly mid fight on 10 mobs counting down to 3....2....1.....

Well, the death isnt that big of a deal Smiley But the 20 min wait for the 3.0 recast can be a pain.

Hadn't noticed it before today, but had it happen repeatedly on my new toon.  The buffs start at the normal time and then adjust to 3 minutes.  The adjustment happens just like when the timers go up because the caster has an item or the aa that extends the timers.  A couple ticks of default time, then the adjusted time.

Ok, it is getting rather frustrating. Hits me randomly, either on buff bots or from PC's epic buffs. I cant get ANY buff to stick to a new rogue my wife created (rogue is 37, buffs should last longer than 3 mins).

Also my shammy 3.0 click was doing 54 mins, but now duration is 35 mins. No gear change. Any idea why?

Picked a bad time to do an RoA run.  Was happening with buff bot timers most of the morning, and then started happening with my druid buffs also.  Sometimes the buff but buffs land with low timers, and sometimes they just go down after a tick or two.  Same thing with druid buffs and it's unpredictable.  It did seem to get worse and worse the longer I stayed on. 

Giving up for now.

Either has to do with the new source code, or that I been editing the database a lot doing updates. Not sure yet. Will try to find out.

I am 37% sure it was happening before the db updates you have been doing.

Yeah, Hunter, this has been happening for about a week or so now.

I got buffed, all buffs started out with their correct timers, after a few seconds, they changed to 3 minutes or less.. This happened every time I rebuffed, so I clicked off all my buffs, logged out and back in and rebuffed, and they all stayed the time they were supposed to..
Second time I tried that though, it failed...  Sad

I have been doing this the last few days to keep buffs up.  Although this probably won't help those doing RoA but....

1. Hail Buffbot
2. Use a level 70 click buff
3. Hail Buffbot again

Another thing I noticed: buff extension AA's are no longer effecting my buffs, epic or otherwise.
