Yay, maybe I am not crazy!
Here is the other thread I reported this in, though there is no evidence anyone actually reads NA bug reports in that forum. There are four pages of threads without a single rep reply or acknowledgement. The only rep-related post is copy-pasta of a JP response, and it didn't fit into any created thread so they made a new one for it. I am not entirely sure why they would create and release the test server only to ignore all reported bugs, but it is what it is.
Assuming that nothing has been fixed since they were released on the test server, it might interest you to know Shijin Spiral and Shattersoul both have fixed additional effect durations (instead of varying with TP) as well. I don't feel like spending 20 merits to open them up though (and the test server is still broken), so you will have to try it on your own.
Incoming 100% = 30secs, 200% = 60secs, 300% = 90secs.
/sigh
Guys don't get mad at GMs asking for additional (irrelevant) information. They're probably using some variety of Bug Tracker database/clients and when GM is manually inputting your bug, it might be tossing in "Field required" errors, and since it is your report, not theirs, they can't really make up your ISPs name on their own.
QA/QC is very procuderised/standarised thing to run, otherwise you'd get lost in all of that partial information.
Filling in "Steps to reproduce" from log in screen onwards for every bug etc gets old fast, but helps keep things organised. Been there, done that. It's annoying but procedures are procedures
In case of these bug reports there is a form to be filled in, in case of critical bugs they probably call a dev or two in the middle of the night and don't bother with any forms. But we're talking THF/DNC here, so the issue can wait a month or four :P
Byrth >> I would like to ask, one more time, for you to fill out the form correctly. Again, while you may not think some of the information is needed, or the GMs can presume/guess by your initial post, we are required to have the information, from you, not guess/fill in. Without the details, we cannot submit your report. I will, personally, look into seeing if we can change the form or do something to help make it easier for the community. Please remember, that a lot of our bug reports need to be translated into Japanese, so the more detail you give, the better we can communicate your issue. If you no longer wish for us to submit this report, please say so and we will close the report.
Karbuncle >> Thank you for taking time to fill out the bug report, but I am afraid I cannot submit it until you create your own thread. Another rules/policy I will look into, I promise, but for now we need the OP to fill out the details on this thread. This does not stop you from submitting your own report for us.
All others >> Please do not use the bug report threads as discussions points as it clutters up the thread and makes it so the "real" post loses impact. If you wish to discuss this in the General Discussion, that is fine, but please keep comments on topic by either offering the OP relevent suggestions/advice and avoid slandering remarks as they do not help the situation.
Thank you for your understanding.

Step 1) Use Exentarator, 100%, 200%, 300%
Step 2) Acc down wears off after 90sec regardless of TP amount, Despite what description says.
Step 3) I assume you also didn't fix Shijin Spiral or Shattersoul.
