Invisible rewards

When 'killing' a pinata, sometimes the rewards are invisible for a short time and then kind of fade in, sometimes for long time.
Not sure if they would stay invisible forever since I wait a few seconds and then run in spirals and get them even if still invisible.
I've noticed that some of my 'useless items' from my old cloak - bent fork, dead fish, etc. - also never show up even tho I get the system message that I produced one.
DON'T
PANIC!

    Yea the problem is if people can't see them, they don't know where to run to pick them up.

    I had a friend who opened a few and never saw anything, he thought they really destroyed the pinatas.

    It's not just pinata rewards, I saw it yesterday with general loot from killing things in Narbondellyn. Black pearls, gold and armour drops... you can see them when they are created... then after they have landed on the floor they fade out. A short while later they fade back in and you can see them again. You can still collect them even when you can't see them. Quite a few times I went back to collect things I had missed.

    I wondered if it might be related to the fix for things being above or below the floor...

    I also saw this with general loot in the moat at Vallenhas. But the ice floor of the Runestead was fine.

    I suspect it's related to some property of the floor. Narbondellyn is the worst I have found.
    The size of the object doesn't seem to be a factor... whole lockboxes were invisible.
    After killing a group I was running a little grid and picking things up that I could not see.

    For me, they are 'visible' but not properly visible. The real visible one has the 'rays'. The not properly visible does not have the 'rays' but I can still see the 'dots' on the ground.

    That seems like the ground is not 'level' and the items are placed on the same level X. That could explain why certain things were raised up before. Now, they lower level X and some are above ground and shows the rays but some are a bit underground.

    Regarding pinata, I don't have the 'invisible' experience but that probably because of where I open them. I always do that in a room in moonstone mask. I think the floor is level.

    I've seen this happening yesterday.
    The loot from defeated batiris wasn't visible while I was still there but I could see them from a little distance (80' or a bit so), so I could go back and pick up the loot.

    Edit for spelling
