Spells: Bard invis drops

All invis abilities could drop "the next tick" in early vanilla. invis was very finicky and could drop at anytime, well before you got a red message about "starting to appear".

Yes and no. All other forms of spell/potion invis were very finicky except bard invis song for the bard playing it.

The danger of using bard invis song in a group to travel was never about the song dropping for the bard, but for the other group members. Since the bard keeps the song active, any group member whose invis drops and gets aggro, the bard will also get aggro when the song ticks again (as long as that member is in range).

When they introduced the message "you feel as if you are begininng to appear" bards initially thought it was a nerf to invis song, until they realized we never actually appear and the song ticks again.

anyone else?

Me!

Prove it. They aren’t going to go off your word. Without in era evidence your report is not very useful.

Thought it was the other way around in this case since they actually had to change the code to make bard invis drop (it doesn't on blue, and never did in vanilla p99 blue either).

But I'll search for evidence of a nerf that didn't take place for bards 20 years ago... somehow...

good luck me!

Just happened to me on Teal a few times. I thought I did something wrong when it dropped in Mistmoore to my dismay. Then later on, I turned invis on in North Karana in a safe spot and went AFK for 10 minutes, at around the 9 minute mark I became visible and then reinvised before I returned to my PC.

This should not happen!
