This is a general observation, first, that this 4th Beta I am seeing quite a few quest bugs that I had not seen before.
Not sure why this 4th is so buggy, but it's bad enough as though it was an Alpha test.
The Nest Egg quest, and a couple of the Nasher quests, have had vanishing mobs, including the boss, that has resulted in my being stuck after quest completion in the final boss room, with no way to escape, and no way to collect the reward.
Mobs will just poof during combat, including bosses.
Also, items to be recovered will be unrecoverable. Specific example is in this Nest Egg quest, for scroll recovery in the secondary Finder's Fee quest. I will be in a room after I've cleared the Kobolds out completely. When I approach the scroll to pick up, I automatically go into a combat-mode, preventing me from being able to pick up the scroll.
Just a passing remark now. I've beta-tested many games, going back to the original EQ, and I've never seen a game go backwards with becoming more buggy on the fundamentals, as the betas progress.
The current condition of the game in my opinion, based on these bugs, is that it is not ready for open-beta release.

I have a screenshot showing his health bar, at half... I'm in the room... he's not there, and I'm not in combat-mode.
But... his health-bar shows as though we are in combat.
Also, the NPC that's supposed to help you in the first Black Lake quest where this happensa lot ("Chasing the Crown" or something like that) used to become an ally for that instance, but now gets trapped in an endless loop of respawning as the version you have to talk to every time you try to pick the option to activate it. This seems to be the cause of the three nashers who run into the second room despawning as soon as you kill the first one.
