The big problem with buffs & debuffs in the game

Product: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes
Platform:Android Phone
What type of device are you experiencing the issue with? Mobile phone
OS Version Latest

What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Summarize your bug The issue is when I apply a debuff or gain a buff of the same kind that is currently applied, it resets the duration to a shorter one if the move used is for a shorter duration when it was originally supposed to be for longer. For example, I use Kylo Ren Unmasked’s 2 turn stun ability on an enemy, and then immediately after use regular Kylo Ren’s 1 turn stun ability on the same target who hasn’t had any turns pass, then instead of the stun duration being 2 turns which is longer from the previously applied Kylo Ren Unmasked’s stun (Which makes more sense in my opinion), it’s now reset to just one turn. This is the same case when gaining a buff you already had, like If I use Princess Leia’s 3 turn stealth move, but then the next turn If I am using Teebow’s leader ability, I would then regain stealth but now for just 1 turn, instead of the remaining 2 turns from Leia’s ability. It looks like this is the case with all buffs and debuffs in the game.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Repeat steps I mentioned in summary.

    Huh. This used to be the Teebo bug from years ago that took them forever to fix, but then they overhauled everything so this shouldn't happen a number of years ago. Quite disturbing if it's back.

    I must have missed that, how it used to just be a Teebo bug. Just like how they overhauled how turn meter works, I definitely hope they overhauled how buff and debuff priority works, just since it always leaves me a bit confused how when a target is already stunned like by Kylo Ren Unmaksed 2 turn stun for example, then they can get restunned and you’ll see the red text appear leading me to believe the stun was perhaps reset to whatever the duration of the current move that was used, like OG Kylo Ren’s 1 turn stun, before the enemy stunned target has had any other turns. Just to keep rambling, it would also be nice for CG to overhaul the attack order of our squads and be able to select it so we know what moved go in what order when it comes to mass swarm attacks like in geos, nightsisters, rebel fighters, etc.

    Thanks though!

    Awesome. I guess seeing how the target gets “restunned” while already being stunned with the red text kind of throws one off, but I supposed it is necessary when it comes to make trackinh feats and what not easier, although it would be better to just have a separate way of tracking things like that, ideally I would prefer buffs and debuffs to not reset the text and only have the text appear when lets say you only have a 1 turn duration left for offense up, but then bastilla gives you a 3 turn offense up buff with her special, then I feel it would make sense for the text to appear that you gained offense up again, and to now imply the longer duration of it, While not having the text, when it’s redundant for buffs and debuffs already in effect.

    Sorry for the rambling, but thank you!

    Thanks for testing, Christoph.

    @mao4o8 So are you saying you didn't actually observe the durations being reset, but just saw the toast text applying and assumed it was resetting? The text always appears with a new instance of a status effect, and indeed there can be multiple instances of the same non-stacking effect on at once, hence the reason JMK's text is so convoluted about taunts.
