If this has been fixed in the most recent patch, I apologise; if it hasn’t, though, it’s even more relevant now that the buff is required to do damage to the Attack Knights.
As of last night, the coloured buff circles for the Attack Knight event were not always visible, making the buffs harder to spot and get. A friend I was speaking to on ventrilo had the problem in LA, and struggled to find the buffs to get the attunement to move on to the hologram fight. A few minutes later, during that fight, I had the problem myself.
When I saw it myself, there WERE a number of white rings on the ground that didn’t seem to be active spells, and I definitely picked up a buff at one point at about the time I entered one of those. Could have been sheer coincidence, mind.
My graphics card, if that’s relevant, is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (I have no idea about my friend’s)
