Fixed Broken Illusion Part of Jann's Veil

Discussion in 'Resolved' started by Brickhaus, Mar 30, 2024.

    On my characters across several accounts and characters in, the illusion part of Jann's Veil seems to be broken. When clicked, either through the keyring or as a standalone item, the illusion goes through the cast timer and nothing happens ... no illusion, no buff. And it also freezes clicks inside the UI (camping the character restores the clicks...jann still broken).

    I have tried this on multiple characters. I have tried resetting a character's UI files to default. I have tried logging in a character on a new computer that has never had that account log in before. All the same behavior.

    The reason I say it's the illusion part is if Jann's Veil is set as Stat Illusion but you click on any other illusion in your key ring, it works as normal. Other illusions with buffs seem to work fine as far as I can tell.

    Obviously the work around is to click any other illusion in your key ring, but it would be really nice if this was fixed. Was working fine until the latest client update.

    I just tested on Emarr, and the illusion worked normally. I clicked it from the keyring. Is it possible you had another illusion already, were mounted, or have the illusion blocked? If you're an enchanter, do you have someone else targeted?

    Thought of that and stripped all buffs away on a character ... same behavior for me. Checked blocked buffs as well (unfortunately you cannot block just the illusion part and still get the Veil buff). And I resynced my clock even.

    Thanks for checking in and giving it a test.

    What zone? Try outside of PoK and GL.

    Why do you say that? Both of those are "permanent" zones.

    But as I was trying in my guild hall, so I went to Lauron Inn, PoK and Guild Lobby ... and the Jann Veil worked as it should in each zone. But in the guild hall, a neighborhood and the 19th anniversary mission, it failed (and it also failed initially in a FF mission instance).

    So it seems the only time I have this issue is in an instanced zone.
  6. CatsPaws Just getting rid of the old

    I tested in lobby. First test Veil was in a bag in inventory. I got the Illusion and Benefit Dena. I could drop Illusion.

    Then I moved it to my keyring (not in the stat box) and got the same 2

    Next I moved it to the stat box and got those two plus the perm benefit.

    There were a lot of MGB in the lobby and next time I dropped and tested and then I got the error that Mammoth's Unity blocked the Illusion Efeeriti Diviner.

    Next test, zoned into guild hall. None of the buffs would cast and could not click on mask again. However if I move the mouse over the line of my buffs it shows they are there but they have no icon.

    Went back to lobby, still show spell info but no buff icon. Cast again and illusion buff picture showed up where it was blank but the other is still blank

    Seems like there is an issue with it in Guild Halls.

    EDIT you might want to run your pointer over where the buff icon would be and see if its just an issue that the icon is not showing. Like mine did in guild hall

    Because theres been issues loading textures in PoK and GL lately. Also if you list where you test it works and doesn't work it narrows down what they have to look for. Sounds almost like a texture load error in the global textures, like how the Selyrah mounts were recently.

    I have tried this in an instance zone, Guild hall, Lobby all with the same result. I need to log out and back in. Useitem commands no longer work and cannot even click the items. In a combat zone seems to work fine.

    I appreciate everyone who has spent time testing this...

    ...but if you agree there's a bug, could you please like the first post so it gets on the radar.

    Thanks.

    I also found this to happen in my guild hall and guild lobby at least. I don't have a key ring and clicking from inventory made my mouse break in game, I had to log out and back in.

    Recently upgraded an ear on another character and went to click it for the permanent buff upgrade, and the same thing happened. Cast bar, but no buff, and my mouse broke. Had to camp and come back to regain mouse functionality.

    This happened to me mid raid in The Unkempt Woods instance. I had to camp out and come back, but then a guildy said use an AA fixes it, which it did too.

    I just tested this on EMarr, and it greys out my spellbar, makes it so I cannot cast anything else until I zone. Same with the eyepatch illusion clicky. Both are being clicked from my keyring. Neither of them give me an illusion. I had no illusion or mount when I clicked them.

    This appears to affect other clickies as well:

    Description: Using the right click effect of Flame-Warped Girdle did not create the "Shadow of _____" buff icon, did not unlock the appropriate rank of Expanding Mind AA, and has locked out my spellbar.

    I am also now unable to /camp
