It is related to the illusion weapon and armor enchants slot in the fashion tab of the character
I finally got into the game on preview.
I like that the amount of "special" mobs is pretty high. Considering that you can get a lot of the northdark fungal spore currency from them I would increase the maximum that you can have at the same time from 25 to at least 50. With a maximum of 50 instead of 25 it would be possible to get all boon points and 3 single stat companion equipment pieces and not have to worry about spending some spores before reaching the maximum
For the quest "The most moss wins" you're supposed to harvest moss but I can't find any moss that I could harvest. Dropping the quest and picking it back up also didn't work.
The health bar of the heroic encounter bosses looks wrong:
Had the same thing just now with the Heroic "Blasphemy" too!
With the Heroic "Wickedly Webbed", it sometimes seems to spawn with no spider enemies, and completes after freeing the 4 prisoners, but not killing any spiders.
I cant seem to find any moss in the quest that required you to deliver 6 to the base camp.

Weapon Illusions flash and blink in new zone, potential seizure issues.
Certain weapon visuals flash and strobe in the new zone (I assume because of the new lighting in that area) and are very painful to see/ potential seizure warning. Other players can see the issue as well, not just the player the illusion is on. I went to the new zone and checked all the illusions I had on my specific toon, and found the following:
Dread, Terror, Plague, Bilethorn, Divine Vorpal all do NOT strobe. Lifedrinker strobes a lot and I will attach a link to show video evidence. Vorpal does not flash as bad, but still has a strobby/flashing element to it. Surprisingly the Divine Vorpal did not xD
Here is a link to video evidence:
Do we really have to watch a ton meaningless cutscenes on every alt everywhere until we vomit?

I have three loadouts. DPS. Heal 1, Heal 2.
My toon was in her DPS loadout when I copied her to preview, switching to either Heal loadouts resulted in the error message appearing.
All items appeared to be equiped (Gear, Enchantments, Appearance, Companion, Companion Gear, Companion Powers, Mount Combat power, Mount Equip power, Collars and Insignia's.
I stripped each loadout as much as possible, changed all mounts within the stable, removed all companion powers, and that seems to have resolved the issue without having to do any
retraining, which seems to indicate that there is an issue with items somewhere, but I couldn't identify where, until I started putting gear back on.
As soon as I started putting Enchantment stones in and testing between loadouts, up came the message. So I started to investigate.
I have the following Mythic account wide enchantments in my inventory
1x Jade 2x Cobalt, 2x Amethyst, 4x Garnet
I initially tested using ONE each of the following: Garnet(G), Jade(J), Amethyst(A), Cobolt(C).
Any time I switched to a loadout with the Jade enchant, I did not get the error message regardless of what enchantment was in the original loadout(J, C, A or G), and regardless of location (Offense, Defense, Utility), any time I switched between a loadout with any other enchant, again, regardless of placement, I received the error message (for example, switch G to G, A to A, C to C, or G to A, C to G it would error, also switch J to G, A or C, error)
Is the issue the enchantments? Looking at my enchantments, and that I only have ONE Jade, I suspect issue is with enchantments with more than QTY x1 AND not all items are equipped in the load out
Further Testing: I have 2x Cobalts. Equip both in two load outs, move between load outs. No error message.
discard one Cobalt. Test. Same results as with the Jade.
Repeat test with A and G, same results. No error.
Result of investigation:
Multiples of account wide mythic enchantments causes an "unable to equip" error message to appear if NOT ALL ENCHANTMENTS are equipped in the loadout.
I do not have the resources to test if this affects lower level enchants, or mythic enchants that have not yet been converted to account wide

You are either waiting for the enemy to appear or waiting for the loading screen (or cutscene or whatever waiting mechanism) to finish and enemy are loaded and be ready.
This is not new. This happened (or happens) in many other places too if the timing is 'right'. I reported certain scene animation weirdness in the past because the scene was not ready but my character already got in. Usually, that was relayed to timing. I still see that time to time if I look for it. Unless the server is very busy, there is about split second to notice that if you know what to look for.
If I remember correctly, FBI was one of them. In the past, it let you to skip the cutscene and if you were fast enough you could skip a bunch of giants before they were spawned. However, your comrades might not be fast enough (or stayed watching the cutscene) and you had to go back to help them.
For me, the best solution is if you skip the cutscene:
if the scene is ready (i.e. enemy or whatever extra is needed), let you get in.
if the scene is still being prepared, put you to a loading screen and let you get in as soon as the scene is ready.
I really like the search engine implemented in the inventory.
I would like to have an ability to drag & drop items (from ah for example) into search bar.
The option to show and pin the amount of currency we want to follow is really handy.
Also the ability to sort bags and their content type would make inventory management easier.
Same search option is implemented in companion and mount selection window, good move.
A nice idea is the ability to see where we left the character and what item level he has.
I have just one suggestion for feature.
Can you add search box in a window where we choosing the power of companion in slot? (offense, defense utility slot)
Small things but makes life easier.
Bravo, great job, these features definitely improve the enjoyment of the game!
This is my summary of the Dark Maiden set for paladin and vaguely for tanks in general, because there is not a reward topics yet.
The boots are not good enough, but it's because the rugged boots are kind of overpowered. I see no reason to balance them against something giving 20% HP and 3% Defense most of the time. Suffering from success.
The 10% threat helm us just plain horrid. Make it 5-10% HP and double in Underdark or something.
Longer rant: Zero contribution to anything offensive/defensive, tanks that are able to obtain it also don't need aggro and up to 10% is not solving it. Up to, because the manticore bite bonus from mythic is both great for aggro (AND actual damage contribution) and also because not sure if it multiplicative, actual 10% or additive, which is basically negligible%.
The armor is also not great, also I personally dislike how there is only a single word difference in a two line text between the armors. The damage bonus is fine, but very little use. Also make it 10% HP and double in Underdark or something.
On the armlet it's too soon to judge, needs further testing, especially on the area of damage, but based on how disappointing the rest is, I am not incentivized to get it.
Why so much HP buff bonus? It's simple to do, it's the simplest to scale boss damage to, especially if only you need to do that with MToS bosses, where it becomes significant.

Too many currencies, it's quite a pain to keep track of so many currencies for so many different things.
Please drop the weekly haul, I found Undermountain far more enjoyable, because I could finish it in one weekend if I so chose.
It's bad enough adding yet another AD sink with this campaign, but to also make all the gear BtC/BoE on pick up is absurd. If I wanna farm the gear for alts with my best performing toon, why shouldn't I be allowed to.
And please drop the seals requirement for the boon points. Boons are pretty worthless anyhow, so please don't force us into doing queues just to get the boons.
Give us campaign currency for completing the story arc, not for repeatable quests. I swear this game is just one giant hamster wheel lately. Do this, rinse, repeat, wait for next week to start before doing anything else cuz of weekly haul.
And stop recycling content, give us a new, NEW, dungeon, new, NEW trial. Not a rework of an old ones. I mean seriously are you guys so short of money that you can't pay at least one decent writer to come up with new stuff/story lines?
Please increase the minimum item level for this campaign. Most of the players are 70k+ by now, I want something that is somewhat challenging. I just played on my preview toon, a 47k pally, and it was way easier than New New Sharandar was when it first dropped. And yes, I was below minimum IL for that also when I started it.
If it wasn't for having nearly a years of VIP, I probably wouldn't even log in everyday. There's nothing to do, and nothing interesting enough to run alts thru even one time.
1. Increase weekly haul to 200. It takes 10 weeks to finish the campaign without any boosters. 10 weeks is way too much for just companion gear unlock and barely decent weapon set. And doing same quests over and over for 10 weeks straight will just make players sick.
2. Agreeing with post above slightly, add some currency to story quests. Not just weekly/repeatable.
This would be even better!
Working on getting fixes in for the missions and critters in the zone, and poking people about the VFX/Lighting Issues.
