While doing Epic 3BC I took a fresh Major Slayer Boost, a few minutes later my hubby decided he wanted to do a quest so we popped into Epic Prove Your Worth. About a third of the way in the quest (right before pit of spikes) the game froze and I DCed, so I restarted my computer, restarted the game and as soon as I could kept going in the quest. I hit the shrine after the spike pit and noticed that my Major Slayer Boost was counting down in the quest. So I took a few screenshots to capture the icon counting down in the quest and went to make a bug report but the external window for bug reporting either wasn't coming up or it was very delayed. Either way we kept going, I took another screenshot at the end and finished out into the wilderness zone of Epic 3BC where the timer continued to time down from the time it had counted down in the quest (~34 mins) and then recalled to 3BC town area. Turned in the quests and jumped on my guildship.

Now this is where it really gets weird. Once I'm on my ship in the cargo bay selling and repairing I notice that the timer on my Major Slayer Boost is back to where it should have been (56+ mins). So now I'm thinking there was some weird visual bug going on when it looked as if it was timing down in the quest. But its not over yet folks. No we went back out to the wilderness zone and the first time we entered the timer on the slayer boost gave me an additional 20 seconds or so. That is it went from 56 mins and I think 16 seconds to 56 mins and 30+ seconds but then continued to time down as is proper.

I don't get it. That is beyond bizarre and I still am not sure if I can trust that icon. I half want to enter a quest and see if the timer goes down to what it showed in the Epic Prove Your Worth quest (~34 mins) but its late and my kids are going to wake me expecting breakfast. I'll post again tomorrow if it continues to behave strangely but for now this is what I know.
You might notice that if you are DCing due to lag your timers continue to count down. When you have major lag, you can't trust the current timer status, because there is no "update" from the server, and you are simply seeing a counter on your end. I wouldn't call this a bug myself.
