"Harbinger Nightmare:
I have posted the following message already in the technical forum but have yet to hear any response -- similarly my "Request urgent assistance" messages have also yet to produce a response.

(As always, click the READ MORE below to read the WHOLE ARTICLE)

=======================================

This evening I did the Harbinger Slayer quest for the first time with a good and competent group led by Tika Waylen (FF). Everything was going well - we made to the Harbinger and were putting the hurt on him --- until I was suddenly hit by a constant barrage of damage from the Frost Pillar.
My screen was repeatedly filled with "You take XX damage from the Frost Pillar" .. fine -- I died.
But the damage did not stop.
Over, and over, and over.. I was taking damage from the Pillar. Corpse after corpse after corpse was piling up at the LS. I was still able to type and read, but over and over I was dieing - so it was suggested I log out.
The deaths and damage still did not stop, I could not logout.. so it was suggested to ALT-F4.
Obviously this worked -- but after re-loading the game I could not enter as my character was still in the game.. so I loaded a different character and went to my lifestone in Yaraq. Much to my dismay, half my inventory was laying on the ground being looted by anyone who pleased -- luckily I caught up with one of them and he returned some of what he picked up.
I understand I can only have a certain number of corpses at once, after which point items just drop on the ground -- but after I was able to re-login my questing character I found I was left with absolutely NOTHING droppable on him. I had indeed lost -everything-.
Now I was able to loot the corpses that were there -- but as for items on the ground, I was at the mercy of timing and honesty of others. I can tell you I have definately lost some items -- and some which would fetch quite a nice price had I been able to sell them as intended.

Not sure what Turbine can do about this - but I am putting the information out there."

Be aware of this issue should you decide to venture in to the Harbinger. As it gets fixed, I will post it here for updates.
****************************************

Also on the bug list:
Severlin is investigating a bug for Enfeeble other and heartseeker 8: The issues?

Incantation of Enfeeble Other == Anemia in terms of damage dealt and spell range.
Otherwise, they differ in difficulty to cast, mana cost, and the activating scarab.
Same is true for the opposite of Heartseeker 8.
I dont know the name atm, but it does the same % as the level 7 version.

Also in question is the beer stacking with 8s. It over rides an 8 at this time. Beer should only STACK not over ride.
****************************************
Armor 7 & Armor 8
There is no new scroll but there is level 8 on clothing.
Both level 7 & level 8 increase natural armor by 225 points.
Is armor 8 working as intended being that it is the same as armor 7?
Armor Incantation Other is 250 points. Armor Incantation Self should be 250 points. Is it not?

Re: Armor 7 & Armor 8
White Empyrean Ring casts Armor Other Incantation on you, surpassing Executor's Blessing.

Increases the target's natural armor by 250 points.
