Spiders disappear too quickly. We can't get a crew together and drop a beacon before it goes away. Please fix....I'd really like a red sigil!

I've had a spirit wink out of existence when right below me. A new behavior that is undoubtedly related to the spirit cloud fix for the spiders. What's most frustrating is that twice today, I've casted a war chant at a spirit, only to have the spirit disappear (not drift out of the shadow line) and the spell to fail, costing me mana! Previously, if I cast at a spirit that was drifting out of view, if I initiated the war chant before it went out of view, the spirit would return, with the damage inflicted. This is a substantial and unwelcome change to game play.

We are experiencing this as well, I had several spirits appear and then in less than 8 seconds just disappear. Many of us have been discussing this in the in game chat. It's making it hard to complete the missions. What's going on??

This keeps happening to me. Please fix!

still a problem. It was a SERIOUS problem for me as the point differential in our BG between 1st and 2nd came down to 20pnts. I was frantically scurrying about trying to complete spirit missions in the last few hours only to have them despawn while i was standing there waiting for my mana to regen.

Spiders are pretty much impossible to fight today because they keep disappearing! I appreciate you trying to be responsive to the concerns about the spirit cloud around spiders, but the cure is far worse than the disease in this case.

To be honest I didn't even mind the spirit cloud, it seemed like a fair penalty for failing to kill a spider quickly enough.

What Masterplaid said is true. I had a beacon up and a spider appears. It was sleeping and then it started to consume the beacon. When it was about to get up, a flash of bright red appears and the spider is no where to be found. Please fix this because if more spiders disappear, the campaign will be vague and pointless. Hence, it's called Weaver's Anguish.

i'm seeing disappearing spirits too, and my girlfriend sees it on her phone at the same time. it's pretty annoying.

it happened to me during a mission i neeeded a red 1* and it left befor my spell hit it how cold can you possibly be

SerottaCSi said exactly what I would've said. It took a while for me to notice because I'm constantly exploring via the railroad tactic, but I was taking down a Koschei Air when it disappeared. I'd shot a War Chant and to my surprise, it didn't take damage and come back the way they used to. Spirit huunting is my main source of energy and if this isn't fixed, I'm pretty much stuck with spirits I can kill in two hits, and even then I sometimes fail because I'm getting so many anti-critical hits and the regular spirits are packing so much dmg. 729dmg from a one star spirit?! Seriously? I've even been hit for 1000+ dmg from another spirit that WASN'T a spider! One second I'm fighting a regular spirit at 4/5 of an hp bar, next thing I see,"You have been banished by a spirit." If spirits can do this much dmg, why even have a World Boss?
