    The check box on my Wizard keeps turning illusions back on, I check the box to turn it off but alot of times when i zone or log in I see illusions are on again and since i use various illusions for shrinking i have to go tick the box then turn off my Blessing of the Xegony and then turn on again to reshrink down and this can happen in any zone, city etc ..
    The illusions i use are Timeless Crusader & Jann Magi and the extra shrinkage one is Blessing of Xegony
    This is the ONLY toon of mine which this does it to and i have over 24 toons lol

    Blessing of Xegony has been bugged for a while now, I wish they would fix it! I just quite using it and have had no problems since I stopped using it. I used to get stuck in ranged combat all the time too.

    Yes, it's my arasai with Blessing of Xegony who are experiencing this persistent problem.

    Not saying that these bugs shouldn't be fixed, but oftentimes the time allocated to find and then fix that bug is inadequate to the job. Keep in mind that finding the bugs can be tricky and time consuming, but even after they are found the solution to fixiing them may not be easy to decide or implement. Every "fix" has to be evaluated to mitigate unforeseen consequences (with apologies to Valve!), or the "cure" may well be worse than the original bug.

    Blessing of Xegony is the cause. I end up with my billy doll illusion showing whenever I enter the guild hall when I have both on. I PM'd you with name of character if you want to see.

    Can anyone affected by this please PM me your character name and server info?

    I'll bet my hat that the reason you can't duplicate this is that you haven't tried with a fae/arasai with the Blessing of Xegony spell turned on, and who has full time spells that also involve an illusion of some sort. (Like a druid or conjuror.) It ONLY happens to me with characters who constantly use Blessing of Xegony as their mount illusion.

    Frankly, if you'd made Blessing of Xegony to be a mount item that we could drop into our mount appearance - as someone there said that you all were doing years ago, and yet you didn't - this problem probably would not exist. But it's a spell, and it's tied to an illusion, which works even when "hide illusion form" is ticked, and is most likely causing a confusing interaction between that illusion and regular illusions.

  14. Fauna Member

    It seems to turn off on 1st boss in new new heroic zone, VD. Most likely because the script shape-changing players.

    Yes please, if you're still experiencing the issue, if you PM me your character and server, it will help us in our investigation.

    Additionally, any reproduction steps, active or recently cast illusions, etc will help us find the cause.

    I have this happen continually on all my characters once I obtain the Cloak of the Harvester and begin using Determination of the Harvester. Additionally, I have only noticed it happening if I also have my mount summoned and the illusion is incompatible with that illusion. I have dismounted, dropped the Harvester buff and prevented it from happening, maintaining my preferred illusion through zoning.

    I'm having a similar issue. I unchecked Hide my Illusion Form and it keeps getting rechecked every time I zone or log out and back in. I only started noticing it after using the Group Illusion: Human spell on my level 32 illusionist. I think I initially copied my UI settings from another alt, so I don't know if it's just reverting to the original value from those settings. Sometimes, the setting change seems to stick after using a door to go to a different zone instead of a map.

    On a side note, the same issue is happening to my personae reflection.
