What are these weird light spots?

My bard is doing wisps in NK (I'm trying to be friendly here; I'm the only bard in zone at the moment, and with the 4 limit I'm not "hoarding" them), but there are areas that are as if there was a wisp or other light source there, but now there is nothing. It's not a player invis'd.

Just... 'atmosphere' or something?

wisps. Either where they are, or were recently. The lighting seems to kind of lag at distance.

I don't think in this case; that light source has been there for 45 mins. Could be a client glitch, I suppose.

Perhaps someone that is invisible and has a light source on them (and is afk)?
Probably just a glitch tho. ;)

I've seen the same sort of thing in GF around the bandit camp. Cue the I'm not saying it's aliens guy... #spooky

It's a glitch in the matrix.

I think it's wisps. I suspect the client does get glitchy because it stops getting location updates on the wisp when you are far away and the light gets 'stuck'. Get one in sight, then camp and come back, see if it's still there.

Abandoned light sources. If you check, the last patch was supposed to reduce these.

Hahah, yeah, supposed to help with casting at swimming mobs too. God help me if I ever get a mob in the water; he's immune to everything but steel.

I can't imagine how bad it was BEFORE that patch.

But, thanks - I suspect you are correct.

right...the 'light sources' are from wisps originally was my point.

Also, as far as I know you have never been able to cast on a mob in the water unless you got in it too.

One of them is I. Im invis afk near a barn.

Several of these weird lighting patches appeared on the sister isle in OOT and they hung around for at least the next day or two I was still there. They look a lot like someone invis with a lighting source, but no one was there invis or otherwise.

I've noticed these too, all over the place. I noticed some in Everfrost the other day. Kept assuming they were invis afkers with light sources.

Yes and no; I was on my SHM tonight in front of guk camping the 2 guards. On the off times, I could EASILY pull a froglok using a spell from in the water while I was on land, and he was in "swimming" mode. If he ran, to the EXACT SAME SPOT, I couldn't cast on him. Weird.

In any case it's an infuriating piece of shitty code. If it's deliberate because "classic", it's one of those "reee!" inspired things that is just absurd.
