Sad to see there's still no official word on what happened to this. I'm not giving up on an answer just yet. Dev team or Admin please respond !

"beckylunatic" Gateway AH should have column headers to sort by buyout, bid, end time, quantity, etc. These disappeared iirc with the module launch. It's obnoxious.
But it was in fact usefull in GG and in other PvP situations where you know there is a zerg train coming and you have no other way to get away. The cloak was/is a life-saver in these situations. If this is the reason why it was removed, I have no words... All my alts have it anyways. Only my new Warlock will not have the chance to get it. This doesnt make sense at all!
I would like this change to be removed or a way to obtain the cloak in a different way.
Does it actually hide your floaty green name too..? I always assumed it was only good for pve.
I got a blue Cloak I don't remember seeing the last time I went through.
Blade Masters Something Or Other, I think.
Could it have been replaced with that?

I just did Whispering Caverns on my Warlock but didn't receive the Cloak of Lesser Etherealness as a reward, instead getting a Warlock main-hand weapon.
Anyone else have this happen to them?

What I would suggest is submitting a bug report about this item from your characters that have them, stating that it is disappointingly unobtainable for other characters.
And if you're doing that final Whispering Cavenrs quest, you could submit a bug report on the quest not giving the expected reward.
Basically a way of letting them know that a lot of people are unhappy with this change.
I presonally think the thing is horrible <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. You can be seen clearly from near, you can be seen slightly from far, very limited duration and it is ended if you take any damage and it has very long cooldown time (20 min if I remember correctly), so it is basically one time use per pvp and works extremely unwell.
Give us 4 or more power/item bar profiles so we can change powers and items with one click that are suited for the situation.

Any official word on this yet? And have other non warlock classes failed to get it??
Fun fact: In PvP, players in enemy team could still see you and target you.
Yeah, I've found that out the hard way
My kids and I just finished WC over the x2 EXP Weekend. I had told them all about the cloak (I have it on my Guardian Fighter), and we were all disappointed to find crappy main hand weapons instead.

On a positive note, when I completed the House Xolarin mission in WC over the weekend, the boss dropped a purple cloak that I never saw before - cloak of the sword master or somesuch.

I never found the cloak all that useful as it only lets you get a little closer to critters before they alert. This is probably the most useful thing I've ever done with it: get close enough to some redcaps for a screenshot so I can try to figure out what they're doing (which is still a mystery to me). The thorn is normally facing the two giantsouls but I got too close and they alerted to face me. I had to back away a bit to get them to stand down before I could take the screenshot.

Did anyone notice what quest giver promises as reward. If it is cloak and you get something else - then it is obviously bug and you can try to ask support team. If quest giver promises something else, then it is intentional and you can do ... nothing

Intentional or not, you'd think they'd at least dignify it with a response. There have been several threads over it. The cloak was neat. Some liked it and some thought it was useless. But removing one of the few usable items like that without any comment whatever seems strange.

It is not really designed for PvP, but is fun to use for PvE, so it does have usefulness. The main point is that it was nerfed without warning nor communication of any type.

My Dwarven Battle Berserker DO War Priest got one, but none of my other 11 level 60 characters have it. He is the only one that did every quest in order. Many other characters have not yet done 70% of the Main Quest line.
Trouble is, I forgot where to get it from, but I'll see if I can get in there sometime and see what happens.
It would be a terrible shame if they deliberately nerfed it out of the game - worse, perhaps, than yet-another-unintended-bug. At least they could fix that one day.
It is not all THAT powerful an item, with the cool down etc, but it is fun to have.
The horse, it's not just dead but it's been beaten into a barely recognized bloody pulp that started to smell quite some time ago.
The horse shall be reanimated and beaten some more. Just for good measure.
Seriously though, I know I have a limited imagination and all that. But I can't think of a good reason for them not telling us why it was removed. You know, an "Oops. Sorry, but putting it back in isn't a priority." or maybe a "We removed it for whatever lame reason." I honestly rarely ever used the cloak. It stayed in my bank most of the time. But I'm really wondering why they can't let us know what happened to it. Why can't characters get it anymore?

"New itemization". When they reworked all the gear, both random drops and quest loot, this got the boot. Whether that's an incidental goofup or a conscious decision is the thing we don't know.

Exactly. But what I don't get is, after multiple threads asking: Why they can't just tell us why its gone. Intentional or not. At this point I'm getting more disappointed over the disappearing communication than the disappearing item.

Just checking back to see if there's an kind of reply yet. Still wanting this Cloak!

You used to get it from the final quest in the Illithid Enclave in the Whispering caverns , I think it was the final quest of vanilla neverwinter ( not 100% on that though)
Comments
Not sure if it was really intentional since this quest reward was a unique item and not gear.

Honestly I'd not be surprised if they deleted all the existing cloaks because they got rid of it, so... I don't feel privileged at all.
