All HP Buffed characters "downed"

This is a question because I'm curious - I already filed an issue on this in the "Bugs and Technical Issues" forum, but I want to know if anyone noticed the same thing.

So on Friday I was playing as normal, and I noticed something odd. About 90% of my Roster of 57 characters were listed as "Downed." What's more, they were listed as downed for quite a long time, I believe it was 15d 23h or something like that. After a few moments of "what the hell?!?" I scrutinized the characters who were and weren't "downed," and I realized that it was every single character who had their hit points increased by the recent change.

This could have been absolutely catastrophic - no customer service available because it was Friday, and it was the middle of both a PVP and PVE. Fortunately I was in the last few hops of PVP and I didn't really care about the PVE, so I decided just to give it a bit of time and see what happened. Two hours later all the characters that were downed were still downed - I restarted my tablet and it made no difference.

Between playing pretty casually, I've gone through and used Health Packs to revive most of my roster - at this point I have everyone I'm likely to use within the next few days revived. When I lose a character in PVP or PVE, the character is "downed" for a normal amount of time, so the Health Packs did fix those particular characters. I still have 13 characters in that status, though - they now indicate they'll be available in 13d 7h.

I didn't see a hue and cry on the boards, so clearly this wasn't a widespread issue. Casting back to exactly what I was doing when the patch hit - I was playing "Lord of Thunder" and just had a TPW - possibly that was the cause.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

    Mine weren't downed, but when I logged in, I noticed the bulk of my roster needed to heal. I then realized it was all of the health-buffed characters, and they were all pretty close to their original max. So mine seemingly had to regen from old max to new. I didn't bother posting, as it wasn't game-breaking for me.

    My wife's characters were all fine, though

    Interesting. Sounds like they made you "heal" up the buffed hit points. Were you playing when the change went through, do you think?

    This happened to me during the "Level Shift" change last year. No idea why it happened, but it was fine after everyone healed up. The best part was that Health Packs couldn't revive them.

    Definitely not. The tablet I play on was at home, and I was at work. I played early in the morning (no downed characters), and then came home in the evening, loaded up and that happened. I just chalked it up as being weird, and left it at that.
